| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Throughout port and maritime studies, the link between cargo flows and the socio-economic characteristics of localities has been investigated mostly qualitatively. While systematic, international quantitative investigations remain scarce and dispersed their reliance upon port tonnage statistics tends to ignore maritime linkages. Conversely, maritime network studies remain done in an abstract space where ports are considered only as nodes in a graph. What is the influence of the local economy on the situation in - and specialization of - maritime networks? Are there significant interdependencies between types of maritime cargo flows and types of local economies? This research shows empirical analyses of various regions including not only developed but also emerging countries. The global typology of port regions points to certain regularities in their spatial distribution, and this research discusses the policy implications of particular cases.
