Delegates of rival empires worked together to ‘correct’ a vital European transportation infrastructure, and to complete difficult hydraulic works they gradually transformed the Commission into an actor of regional and international politics. As an autonomous and independent organ, it employed a complex transnational bureaucracy and regulated shipping along the Danube through a comprehensive set of internationally accepted rules and procedures. The Commission is portrayed as an effective experimental organisation, taken as a model for further cooperation in the international system.Balkan studies library ;Volume 27.ShippingGovernment policyEuropeHistoryDanube RiverRegulationHistoryRegional & national historyEuropean historyShippingGovernment policyHistory.382.4Ardeleanu Constantin1220662MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910558098303321The European Commission of the Danube, 1856-19482826591UNINA
