Chapter 2 in Dynamic Shipping and Port Development in the Globalized Economy, 2016, pp 11-52 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract “The only way to change one’s relative location on the network is to change the geographic area covered by the network” (Black, 2001, p. 1). Consequently, analyzing how ports work and interact with their environment and identifying the determinants of its performance are key to understanding the challenges currently faced by the port system in a globalized economy.
