This book, first published in 1985, presents a comprehensive
overview of the world shipbuilding industry. It contrasts the
conditions which foster its development in newly-industrialised
countries such as Japan, South Korea and Brazil with the problems
leading to its decline in Western Europe and North America. The
book discusses the supply and demand factors peculiar to
shipbuilding and notes the inherent instability of the industry due
to the conditions placed upon it by the economic environment.
Reactions to this instability are examined from the point of view
of both shipbuilding enterprises and governments. The book
concludes by assessing current trends and discussing likely future
developments. It is shown that much will depend on shipping costs,
industrial organisation and the level of state support.
