In turn, the industry experienced and pioneered, mirrored and enabled key developments that led to the present-day globalized economy. Contributions address issues such as the macro-level shift of shipping’s centre of gravity from Europe to Asia, the political and legal frameworks within which it developed, the strategies and performance of both successful and unsuccessful firms, and the links between the shipping industry and the wider economy and society. Without shipping and its ability to forge connections and networks of a global reach, the modern world would look very different. By bringing together scholars from various disciplinary and national backgrounds, this book advances our understanding of the linkages that bind economies and societies together. 2020-03-18 13:36:15 2020-04-01T08:59:57Z 2020-04-01T08:59:57Z 2019 book 1007153 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/23008 eng Palgrave Studies in Maritime Economics application/pdf n/a 1007153.pdf https://www.springer.com/9783030260026 Springer Nature 10.1007/978-3-030-26002-6 10.1007/978-3-030-26002-6 6c6992af-b843-4f46-859c-f6e9998e40d5 290 Cham open access
