For millennia, the Mediterranean has been one of the most active
trading areas, supported by a transport network connecting riparian
cities and beyond to their hinterland. The Mediterranean has
complex trade patterns and routes--but with key differences from
the past. It is no longer an isolated world economy: it is both a
trading area and a transit area linking Europe and North Africa
with the rest of the world through the hub-and-spoke structure of
maritime networks. Understanding how trade connectivity works in
the Mediterranean, and elsewhere, is important to policy makers,
especially those in developing countries in the Mediterranean,
concerned with the economic benefits of large investment in
infrastructure. Better connectivity is expected to increase trade
with distant markets and stimulate activities in the hinterland.
This book is a practical exploration of the three interdependent
dimensions of trade connectivity: maritime networks, port
efficiency, and hinterland connectivity. Because of the complexity
and richness of maritime and trade patterns in the Mediterranean,
the research book combines both a regional focus and globally
scalable lessons. This book is intended for a wide readership of
policy makers in maritime affairs, trade, or industry;
professionals from the world of finance or development
institutions; and academics. It combines empirical analysis of
microeconomic shipping and port data with three case studies of
choice of port (focusing on Spain, Egypt, and Morocco) and five
case studies on hinterland development (Barcelona; Malta;
Marseilles; Port Said East, Egypt; and Tanger Med, Morocco)
