  4. Abstract:
  5. Globalization is shaping a new socio-economic order with profound, and still unfolding, implications for transportation development. A prerequisite for national competitiveness in the global market place is efficacious transportation when its recent technological advances have created an unprecedented rise in mobility and accessibility. Developments of efficient and effective transportation infrastructure and services are among the principal driving forces for the globalization process. Using international databanks, this paper describes an attempt to shed some light on national trends of globalization and transportation, and their relationships. Deploying a comparative macroscopic approach and using relevant time-series statistics, the study provided some quantitative clues of the possible interrelationships between globalization and transportation.
