In the the Polish political science, debate about transport policy - in fact - are not raising. It may surprise, because transport policy is not only a political space of disagreements (a kind of "game of interest"), but is also a subject of public discourse - transportation plays crucial role in people's life.
Therefore, it is worth to ask about transport policy as an integral part of wider public policies, especially:
- what factors facilitating and inhibiting formulation of transport policy objectives and their implementation;
- what are instruments used by decision-makers;
- how looks like - in EU and each country - creating of transport policy;
- what are political challenges and directions kinds of transport sectors, like space transport, air transport or rail/ sea/ road transport;
- why transport policy infuence on quality of life of citizens (environmental issues, sustainable development and exclusion / social inclusion);
I will be grateful for your answers.
PS.
If you are very interested of that topic (and you will be in Poland) please let's participate in 3rd Political Sciences Congress (link to the website below) and join to the panel "Transport policy in perspective of public policies. Polish and European experiences"

I have try to look at your website, but it is only in Polish... I have a paper about public policy for Electric Vehicles and charging stations, may be you will like it. Have a look in my publication list.
Your list of questions is interesting. You might wish to have a look at the enclosed short 1997 piece, which I have not yet put up on the ResearchGate site (but might now that I have seen your questions), which argues that the transport sector is in the process of being reshuffled in the list of governement priorities everywhere, and points to some of the reasons for this framework change and to stress points like subsidies to heavy trucks everywhere. Basically, the reshuffling involves an increase in the importance of the economic dimension of networks and a relative lowering of transport in the list of public priorities due to the need for governments to concentrate scarce resources on redistributive activities (health, education). Good luck with your conference.
