World shipping: a time for redefinition?

M. J. Shah

Marine Policy, 1984, vol. 8, issue 4, 347-350

Abstract: How often when somebody in desperation appeals for redefining worn issues, wiser men reach for their hats? Nevertheless, I believe the present is just such a time for clearer enunciation of concepts in international shipping policy. I find many publicists increasingly, often unconsciously, fail to use common terms correctly in historical context when discussing the disarray in which marine affairs finds itself today; and unless we discipline ourselves to do so, neither we nor our audiences will secure that initial firm grasp of the facts that is so essential to properly understanding the current problems which beset maritime commerce.
