by Ketil Djonne

~~145,74€~~ 116,59€ 20% OFF + 5% CARD

 <p>This book offers unique insight into the public and private governance of international shipping from the 1970s through to the 2010s. Focusing on the part played by maritime classification societies, it highlights the role played by the European Union during this time and its influence in creating transnational maritime regulations. The emergence of the Treaty of Rome and the European Parliament in enabling market liberalisation within the shipping industry on the one hand and more stringent maritime safety regulation on the other is examined, alongside the common transport policy and enforcement of international maritime rules. Particularly attention is given to the growth of the European Union’s maritime presence, the establishment of the European Maritime Safety Agency, developments in flag state implementation, and relations between the International Maritime Organization and the European Union.</p><p>This book presents a detailed guide to the European Union’s role as a maritime safety regulator and the impact this has had on the shipping industry and its governance structure. It will be relevant to researchers and policymakers interested in maritime and transport economics as well as to students of European affairs and of international relations.</p><br><p></p>

Sustainable Port Clusters And Economic Development - Building Competitiveness Through Clustering Of Spatially Dispersed Supply Chains

~~131,84€~~ 105,47€ 20% OFF + 5% CARD

 <div><div><div>This book belongs to the <b>Port Economics and Global Supply Chain Management</b> strand of the<i> Palgrave Studies in Maritime Economics</i> book series, commissioned by Hercules Haralambides.</div></div><div><br></div>This book addresses the strategic alignment between port authorities and their supply chain partners, with a focus on governance challenges. Many port (authority) managers are engaged in efforts to improve their strategic alignment with business partners in their proximate geographic region, yet the economic objectives pursued can vary widely. These objectives can include improvements in port competitiveness and stability of traffic flows, as well as better access to scarce resources such as land and capital, or simply more control over the logistics chain. Using various Benelux seaports as case studies, the authors of this volume show that improving strategic alignment can involve a wide variety of different governance choices, ranging from top-down to bottom-up alliance formation, from project-driven to multi-activity collaboration, and from long-term contracting to full-fledged mergers.</div><div><br></div>This book with state-of-the-art insight on modern port governance will be of interest to port managers around the globe, as well as to lecturers and students in maritime educational programs.<div><br></div><div>Chapter 4 is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.<br></div><div><br></div>
