Features: This series of books focuses on network-based industries as the research subject, employing theories and methods of modern economics such as transaction cost theory, principal-agent theory, property rights theory, institutional change theory, regulation theory, competition theory, and emerging classical economics. The content is entirely concentrated on the economic analysis of different transportation modes and network-based industries such as telecommunications, electricity, etc. Some books are relatively comprehensive, while most delve deeply into a single industry in one volume, including several selected translations. Since the 1980s, the aviation transportation industry has shown a new trend of airline strategic alliances. This book focuses on discussing the economic motivations behind the formation of airline strategic alliances from an economic perspective, analyzes the network economics of airline strategies, and examines the cost savings achieved by airline alliances compared to market-based approaches based on transaction cost economics. Building on this foundation, the book predicts and analyzes the future development trends of international airline strategies and proposes several policy recommendations to promote the strategic alliances of Chinese airlines. This book is primarily intended for theoretical researchers, policy analysts, government departments, and industry professionals in fields such as civil aviation and transportation. It can also be referenced by a broader readership interested in corporate strategic alliances.
