The making and unmaking of east–west link: by James Murphy, Melbourne, Melbourne University Press, 2022, 228 pp., A$34.99, ISBN 9780522878363.

"The Making and Unmaking of East-West Link" by James Murphy is a book that explores the complex and highly politicized process of the East-West Link (EWL) transport infrastructure project in Victoria, Australia. The book examines three hypotheses: the role of state premiers in the project, the influence of bureaucrats, and the power of non-state actors. It concludes that no single actor or group can be solely blamed for the project's outcome, as it was the result of a wide array of actors and events. The book emphasizes the importance of stakeholder engagement and trustworthy relationships in the implementation of transport megaprojects. [Extracted from the article]
