This section consists of six essays that explore local port issues and the effect of the wave of globalisation taking place in the port industry during the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. The case studies examine the following topics: the international scope of Bordeaux port in relation to the economic cycles of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; the Lancashire Cotton Lobby and the making of the Manchester Ship Canal from 1893 to the Interwar Period; Mormugao Port and the gateway to Goa; the competition between the ports of Antwerp and Rotterdam; the environmental impact of ports from an Australian perspective; and a survey of the operations of the port of Kaohsiung.Less

This book provides a series of case studies concerning ports and port communities from around the world, in attempt to determine the impact of globalisation on the port industry and the link between local and global port conditions. It also presents the case for the absolute necessity of ports and port systems to trade and industry on a global scale. The book is comprised of ten essays, the first six of which concern local issues in a rapid globalising industry. The second section contains the remaining four essays, which consider port systems from national perspectives.Less
