This book comprises two volumes, both containing chapters which have been personally invited by the editors. As such, the editors of this book wish to profoundly thank all the contributors for accepting the invitation and for submitting their insightful works in accordance with the publishing deadlines and as specified in the book proposal. Professor Paul Tae-Woo Lee expresses his sincere gratitude to the MBA students in the course of Seminars on Maritime Transport and International Logistics at the Department of Business Administration, Soochow University, Taipei, who helped correct typos in citations and to format all the references in the two volumes of this book. He also expresses his thanks to his beloved wife (Jin-Hwa) and his lovely children (Hannah and Samuel Sang-Jeong) who have supported his academic life and loved him all the time. Professor Kevin Cullinane wishes to express his thanks to his many colleagues and friends in the academic world that have both supported and inspired him. He also very much appreciates the unerring support of his wife, Sharon. Without those who have been listed above, as well as the help provided by the staff at Palgrave Macmillan, this book would not have been brought to fruition. xi Front Matter....Pages i-xvi Introduction....Pages 1-10 Container Ports in Latin America: Challenges in a Changing Global Economy....Pages 11-52 Port Development in Sub-Saharan Africa: Competitive Forces, Port Reform, and Investment Challenges....Pages 53-78 A Hierarchical Taxonomy of Container Ports in China and the Implications for Their Development....Pages 79-101 Port-Focal Logistics and the Evolution of Port Regions in a Globalized World....Pages 102-127 Port Governance as a Tool of Economic Development: Revisiting the Question....Pages 128-157 Economic Impact Analysis of Port Development....Pages 158-185 Developing the Fifth Generation Ports Model....Pages 186-210 Back Matter....Pages 211-221 This two volume book presents an in-depth analysis of many of the most important issues facing today's shipping and port sectors.
