After considerations of methodology, the paper first identifies as a main problem in megaproject development pervasive misinformation about the costs, benefits, and risks involved. A consequence of misinformation is cost overruns, benefit shortfalls, and waste. Second, the paper explores the causes of misinformation and finds that political- economic explanations best account for the available evidence: planners and promoters deliberately misrepresent costs, benefits, and risks in order to increase the likelihood that it is their projects, and not the competition's, that gain approval and funding. This results in the "survival of the unfittest," where often it is not the best projects that are built, but the most misrepresented ones. Finally, the paper presents measures for reforming megaproject policy and planning with a focus on better planning methods and improved governance structures, the latter being more important.

Slotes metode til udpegning af kassations-kandidater indenfor en delsamling på Roskilde Universitetsbibliotek. Metoden består i at isolere ubenyttet materiale fra bestanden på baggrund af et objektivt kriterium: Udlånsda-toen. Dataindsamlingen er blevet foretaget så vidt muligt efter de metodiske anvisninger. Kravet om fuld statistisk repræsentativitet har dog ikke kunnet opfyldes, hvorfor resulta-terne må betragtes med varsomhed. Det vurderes dog, at undersøgelsen som en art pilot-projekt har kunnet vise, at en udtynding af bestanden i delsamlingen breve, dagbøger, (selv)biografier, og memoirer (UDK-tal 929A/Z.*) ville kunne ske ved udtage dokumen-ter, som ikke har været udlånt siden april 2001, til efterfølgende subjektiv vurdering med henblik på kassation. Dette ville berøre max. 2,6 pct. af udlånet. Lægges skæringspunktet derimod et år senere (april 2002) vil det berøre max. 6,2 pct. af udlånet. Beslutningen herom må primært bero på, om der er tale om akut eller nærtforestående pladsbehov. Sat, 01 Apr 2006 00:00:00 GMT http://rudar.ruc.dk/handle/1800/2049 2006-04-01T00:00:00Z
