Hardcover, xix + 329 pages, NOT ex-library. Book is clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Boards show minor handling wear. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This book provides a critical legal and economic analysis of the "Open Skies" agreements that govern international aviation. Peter Paul Fitzgerald argues that while these agreements aim to liberalise the market, the lack of a "level playing field" in global regulation creates significant distortions. The central thesis is that market access (the "Open Skies" part) has been liberalised far more quickly than the regulatory frameworks that govern it. Patchwork Regulation: The author contends that airlines operate under a "patchwork" of inconsistent national rules regarding safety, security, environment, and labour. The Level Playing Field: Fitzgerald suggests that without harmonised global standards, some airlines gain unfair competitive advantages due to lower regulatory costs in their home jurisdictions. Market Distortion: The book explores how state subsidies, different tax regimes, and varying ownership rules prevent true, fair competition despite the "open" nature of the routes. The volume is structured to address the specific pillars of aviation law that require alignment: - Safety and Security: An examination of how differing standards affect operational costs and consumer protection; - Environment and Labour: Analysis of the "social dumping" risks and the uneven costs of carbon emissions compliance across different regions; - Ownership and Control: A look at the restrictive "national interest" clauses that still prevent the airline industry from functioning like other globalised sectors (e.g., shipping or telecoms); - The Role of ICAO: The book assesses the International Civil Aviation Organization's ability (or lack thereof) to enforce a consistent global regulatory regime. This work is a key text for aviation lawyers, policy-makers, and researchers. It is noted for bridging the gap between commercial aviation interests and public international law, offering a roadmap for what the author calls "consistent aviation regulation.".…
