Port Economics

Port Economics

Port Economics is the study of the economic decisions (and their consequences) of the users and providers of port services. A port works as an engine for economic development. This book provides a detailed discussion of port freight service users such as freight water and land carriers that have their ships and vehicles serviced and their cargoes unloaded by ports as well as passenger services such as ferry carriers which are serviced by ferry passenger ports. This text continues to enhance our understanding of port economics by exploring the economic theories supply and demand curves and the actual and opportunity costs relating to the carriers shippers and passengers who use ports. This new edition has been updated throughout. This includes: An expanded discussion of container break-bulk dry-bulk liquid-bulk and neo-bulk ports; An introduction of port service chains hinterland transport chains maritime transport chains and port multi-service congestion; A discussion of seaborne trade dry ports port centrality and connectivity and free trade zones. This updated and comprehensive introduction to port economics will be of benefit to students and researchers in their study of port economics and management.

Policing Port Security and Crime Control An Ethnography of the Port Securityscape

Policing Port Security and Crime Control An Ethnography of the Port Securityscape

Ports are the vital hubs of the maritime transport industry and crucial to the flow of global trade. The protection of this global supply chain from crime and terrorism is a fundamental objective of port security and is a landscape beset by new challenges and changes post 9/11. Building on multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork in two major European ports Yarin Eski discusses how operational policing and security realities and identities are established and examines how industrial commercialization has aggravated security issues. Policing Port Security and Crime Control offers a compelling empirically balanced account of the attitudes and practices of port police officers and security officers exploring the everyday realities and ambitions of these street-level professionals as they seek to (re)establish a meaningful occupational identity. In doing so this book presents a criminological understanding of the way that security questions and procedures are integrated into the daily lives of those that protect the industrial port sites where they themselves must interrupt the global supply chain in order to defend it. Exploring topics such as port security management multi-agency policing port theft drug trafficking human smuggling and terrorism this book offers a major contribution to the growing literature on transnational crime and security and is one of the first to offer an ethnographic approach to port security. This book is interdisciplinary and will appeal to criminologists sociologists ethnographers and those engaged with policing and security studies as well as professionals in the field of multi-agency policing border control security and governance of the port and wider maritime industry. | Policing Port Security and Crime Control An Ethnography of the Port Securityscape

Port Sudan The Evolution Of A Colonial City

Port Sudan The Evolution Of A Colonial City

In 1904 only the unimposing tomb of a local holy man occupied the site chosen by British officials for the construction of a modern seaport to facilitate the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan's expanded commerce. Built where no urban center had previously existed Port Sudan was the quintessential colonial city created and designed by Europeans who organized its municipal services and devised the regulations for its day-to-day management. The advantages of a created city were clear: The colonial government did not need to accommodate an indigenous urban population with its own existing social structures institutions and cultural values. This study examines the efforts of Port Sudan's builders and early administrators to tailor the urban environment to their own notions of the ideal colonial city–how it should look how it should function and how its human components should interact. It then focuses on the inter-war period describing how the rapid growth of Port Sudan and its harbor posed insurmountable challenges to the maintenance of this ideal. Although the Sudanese population within the city steadily increased their exclusion from any meaningful participation in municipal affairs during these troubled years left them physically and psychologically isolated. The situation began to change after World War II but as the study reveals conditions in the post-war era only compounded long-standing political economic and social problems in Port Sudan ensuring that the city the Sudanese inherited in 1956 still bore the marks of its colonial origins. | Port Sudan The Evolution Of A Colonial City

Banking in China (1890s–1940s) Business in the French Concessions

Banking in China (1890s–1940s) Business in the French Concessions

From the 1890s to the 1940s French State and entrepreneurial companies were enticed to promote French interests beyond mere colonial targets for the sake of economic patriotism. Chinese concessions not including Hong Kong were thus inserted into geo-economic moves and French stakeholders asserted their philosophy of competition and displayed their means of influence and investment. In this book the author assesses the challenges which confronted French actors in the face of powerful British imperial action overseas all the more so because German Belgian Japanese and then also North-American competitors joined the fray. The book targets three concessions: Canton/Guangzhou Tientsin/Tianjin and Hankeou/Wuhan because of their significance in the emergence of a modern economy in the country. The three main sections of the book explore the position of French stakeholders mainly businessmen merchant houses bankers and a few industrialists in these three port-cities and China overall. The chapters gauge their capital of influence and networking commercial tools and banking skills in the face of competition the hardships of crossing the changes in economic productive systems or clusters in the various port-cities and their areas rich with commercial offshoots. Also several chapters underscore the uncertainties caused by geopolitical and military events in China. For each of the three concessions commercial and banking systems assessments of the successes and limits of the French bankers and merchants are investigated with the aim of evaluating the reality of French entrepreneurialism and power in the regions prospected by the offshoots of French capitalism. The book will be an invaluable resource for academics interested in the history of banking and finance business entrepreneurship colonialism and economic patriotism in Chinese history in geo-economics and in connected history. | Banking in China (1890s–1940s) Business in the French Concessions

Errol John's Moon on a Rainbow Shawl

Errol John's Moon on a Rainbow Shawl

Errol John wrote Moon on a Rainbow Shawl (1958) after becoming disillusioned about the lack of good roles for black actors on the British theatre scene. While this situation has only slightly improved since his response has become the most revived black play in Britain from its original production at the Royal Court in 1958 to the National Theatre in 2012. It depicts the lives of a black community living in poverty in a shared tenement yard in Port of Spain Trinidad in the mid-1940s showing how each of the characters carries dreams of escaping to create better lives for themselves and their families. Lynette Goddard focuses on how the play articulates the narratives of migration that prompted many Caribbean people to uproot from their homes on the islands and move to the England in the post-war era. For some of them these dreams of a new life became a reality but they were experienced differently across genders and generations. | Errol John's Moon on a Rainbow Shawl
