National Interest and International Aviation

A book review by Ruwantissa Abeyratne

This is the first book of an author who has produced numerous studies and written many articles on civil aviation. As the author states at the outset, this is not an academic study, but rather a set of observations and findings based on general education and extensive experience gained as a consultant and expert on the impact of international relations on aviation. As such, the reader can look forward to a substantive discourse on an important area of civil aviation that is continuing to draw the interest of the international community.
