and electrical power lines--transformed the East Coast of the U.S., turning it into a fossil-fuel intensive economy, with accompanying social-economic-environmental impacts. He certainly cites all the canonical literature on path dependency, infrastructure
traps, etc.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<br>
i am not sure what you are exactly looking for. so i just can recommend some "canonical" search options:<br>
<br>
the terena papers are helpful, imho. <a href="https://www.terena.org/publications/" target="_blank">
https://www.terena.org/publica<wbr>tions/</a><br>
(i am thankful that they didn't erase the url when uniting with géant)<br>
<br>
- oecd reports are another good source & as well as digging: <a href="http://bookshop.europe.eu" target="_blank">
bookshop.europe.eu</a><br>
<br>
all the best,<br>
