Murphy\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor some years, Melbourne's aborted East-West Link created intense picketing and protests, multiple court challenges, breathless media coverage, and bitter politicking. The Link brought the downfall of the single-term Baillieu-Napthine Liberal government; its cancellation cost the state half a billion dollars; and it lives on in infamy, a byword in the Australian lexicon for political brinkmanship, waste, and politicisation of infrastructure. In \u003ci\u003eThe Making and Unmaking of East-West Link\u003c\/i\u003e, James C Murphy explores the saga from competing vantage points, detailing the layers of politics and intrigue that saturate infrastructure policymaking in Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJames C Murphy\u003c\/b\u003e lectures in politics and public policy at the University of Melbourne.
