Dear all I am doing some research on the 'transplantation' or transfer of transport- related plans, programmes, policies, concepts, ways of working and organisational structures. I am focusing particularly on transplantation or transfer from western Europe to the new EU member states and EU candidate countries. I would like to identify the extent to which plans, programmes, policies, concepts, ways of working or organisational structures have been copied and/or the degree to which they have had to be adapted to fit the recipient country. I am also interested in looking at the impacts (both performance impacts and organisational/instututional impacts) of this transplantation or transfer. I would be extremely grateful for any suggestions of possible examples, both successful and unsuccessful, of transplantation/transfer from western Europe to new EU member states and EU candidate countries.
