Impacts of Integration Processes on Networks and Flows

Prior to economic integration processes (such as a free trade agreement) networks tended to service their respective national economies with flows representing this structure. With economic integration, the structure of transportation networks is modified with new transnational linkages. Flows are also modified. In some cases, there could be a relative decline of national flows and a comparative growth of transnational flows.
