    摘要、提要註: Transnational infrastructures have long been an integral part of projects to unite Europe. From the first ceremonial train of the European Coal and Steel Community to the new border signs that have replaced checkpoints along motorways, such technologies of connection have served as powerful symbols of European unification. In interpreting infrastructures as mediating interfaces of European projects, this book aims to analyze the complex histories of network technologies in their material,institutional and symbolic performances. Taking material networks as the focal point of study allowsthe authors to tell a truly transnationalhistory, broadening fruitfully our perspectives on a number of historical narratives. It expands the time frame for exploring European integration by pointingto the longer processes of international connection and co-operation. These broadened spatial and temporal horizons allow tode-centre the processes of formal integration surrounding the EU afterWWIIto reveal a broader range of actors and forces in European history.
