Public Technology Procurement in Sweden. The X2000 High Speed Trains

Charles, Edquist LU ; Hammarqvist, P and Hommen, Leif LU (2000) p.79-98
Abstract
This chapter describes and analyses the development of Sweden’s high-speed train (HST), the X2000, as a case of public technology procurement. The case study is based mainly on primary data collected in recent (1997) interviews with some of the main actors involved in the procurement process, but it also draws upon relevant secondary sources. The analysis employs evaluative criteria defined from the standpoint of public policy (as elaborated below) and develops a critical perspective on the case that leads to more general policy implications.
