Abstract

ABSTRACT This article addresses the development of Europe’s foremost high-speed rail (HSR) network, the Spanish AVE (Alta Velocidad Española-Spanish High-Speed Rail). Against the prevalent description of AVE as a project rooted in the consent of the subject population, I argue that it is better understood as a case of dominance without hegemony. I substantiate this claim by turning to two different moments in the history of AVE: its adoption as part of a broader transformation of the transport market; and the struggle against HSR in the Basque Country.

西班牙高铁：基础设施发展与无霸权统治

摘要本文介绍了欧洲最重要的高速铁路（HSR）网络——西班牙高速铁路（Alta Velocidad Española Spanish high speed rail）的发展。反对将AVE描述为一个植根于受试者同意的项目的普遍说法，我认为它最好被理解为一个没有霸权的主导地位的案例。我通过转向AVE历史上的两个不同时刻来证实这一说法：它的采用是运输市场更广泛转型的一部分；以及巴斯克地区反对高铁的斗争。
