Color print. Folio (15½" X 11 3/4"). Fine. Talio-crome was a reproduction technique that appears to have been popular in the 1950s, the approximate period of this print. This near-pristine piece bears a separate printed label affixed at the upper left corner (and meant to be detached upon framing) describing the scene and the artist. In part: "Outside, from a leaden sky, a gentle snowfall covers roofs and streets with a soft mantle of white as congenial friends meet in a public room of the old inn. Here, in the pleasant warmth from a glowing hearth, a pipe is smoked and stories told while waiting for the innkeeper to mix a bowl of bracing punch with which to drink a toast to friendship and good company."

Today, many of the engineering and economic problems surrounding infrastructure construction projects have been solved, but the threat of social misalignments and political conflicts renders the development and management of such projects more challenging than ever before. This book presents a new theoretical framework that allows us to analyze the institutional and social movement processes, both negative and positive, that surround global infrastructure projects as they confront cross-national and cross-sectoral (such as private-public partnerships) institutional differences. The value of this framework is illustrated through a series of studies on a wide range of infrastructure projects, including roads, railroads, ports, airports, water supply and energy pipelines.…
