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. 410 0$aBalkan studies library ;$vVolume 27. 606 $aShipping$xGovernment policy$zEurope$xHistory 607 $aDanube River$xRegulation$xHistory 610 $aRegional & national history 610 $aEuropean history 615 0$aShipping$xGovernment policy$xHistory. 676 $a382.4 700 $aArdeleanu$b Constantin$01220662 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910558098303321 996 $aThe European Commission of the Danube, 1856-1948$92826591 997 $aUNINA
