Opis

Asian shipping entrepreneurship relies on strong ties between private entities and public institutions (i.e. governments). This book examines the growth and sustainability of Asian maritime world through the lens of Asian cultural code, social and institutional economics as well as its unique way of public governance. The book addresses the economics of maritime industry in its broader meaning including ship owning, ship building, port operation and its linkages to other industries (or collaborations) from a refreshing perspective. The book examines major maritime nations of Asia in three dimensions: history, strategy (also policy) and the current state of maritime industry. It also looks at Asian shipping giants and their strong ties with public institutions. The book also reviews the recent developments and challenges of the regional maritime industry in the era of marine tech boom, upsizing tonnage and environmental debates. Its comprehensive overview of and unique approach to the subject makes the book a valuable reference to anyone interested in the subject.

Recenzje

'Okan Duru has compiled another timely book. As maritime businesses shift from North to South, from West to East, and from concentrated in a few countries to distributed over many countries, an "Asian Perspective" of maritime economics and business should today actually be the default perspective. With his usual insightful historical considerations, adding some grain of behavioural economics, Okan has put together a valuable collection of papers from – you may be surprised – exclusively Asian authors. Congratulations.' — Jan Hoffmann, Chief, Trade Logistics Branch, Division on Technology and Logistics, UNCTAD
