Abstract

Soutenue par l’Union Européenne, l’ouverture à la concurrence des chemins de fer en Europe a entraîné un environnement complexe où se mêlent des opérateurs historiques nationaux et des nouveaux entrants. Certains pays de l’Union, comme en Allemagne, accompagnent ces développements concurrentiels et sont même en avance. D’autres Etats membres expriment des difficultés pour mettre en œuvre ces réformes, comme par exemple en France. Il y a une centaine d’années, la thèse (1914) de W. Eucken, l’un des économistes allemands les plus influents, décrit la difficile émergence de la concurrence dans le transport maritime international, les jeux des acteurs nationaux, les cartels et les méthodes pour éliminer les nouveaux entrants. L’objectif de cet article est de tenter de tirer les enseignements de ce travail de jeunesse remarquable pour le transport maritime au début du XXème siècle et de suggérer un transfert pour comprendre les développements du transport ferroviaire aujourd’hui.
