Ferry de Goey

4.9/5 (16255 ratings)

Description:Comparative port history is often preached, but seldom practiced. This volume compares the development of Rotterdam and Antwerp in the period 1880-2000. Because of their geographical proximity, these European ports have a long history of intense rivalry. In order to attract new cargo flows, port dues and cargo-handling costs were regarded as vital instruments, but the volume qualifies the importance of pricing as a competitive instrument, and questions the common typologies of Rotterdam and Antwerp. Using new methods and theories, and employing an extensive, recently constructed database, the book presents a fresh look at an old topic. This volume contains contributions of both Belgian and Dutch authors.About the AuthorWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
