Abstract
The European sub-continent has historically had relatively large densities of infrastructures,
national borders and cross-border flows. This may in part explain the relatively
high incidence of transnational infrastructure regimes that have been put in
place to regulate infrastructure-supported flows. The chapter discusses the relation of
such European transnational infrastructure regimes with those of a more global character.
It illustrates this subject matter tentatively for telegraphy; and somewhat more
in-depth for road traffic signs. It concludes that European and global transnational
infrastructure regimes should not be conceptualized as mutually exclusive, but as fundamentally intertwined levels.
