This book explores the functioning of coal markets and their
influence on ports and maritime economics since the second half of
the nineteenth century. Each chapter includes case studies from
different parts of the world, explaining the role played by coal in
the expansion of the shipping industry. This book also explores
regions usually neglected by the mainstream scholarly literature in
this field. The relationship between steam engine technology and
imperial expansion, how the emergence of global security was driven
by maritime technological revolutions, and the connection between
global seaports and the spread of global economic and political
systems are also discussed. This book aims to highlight the
important role seaports and fuel markets played in the evolution of
international commercial flows and activities. Fuelling the
World Economy will be useful for historians, economists, and
geographers interested in maritime and energy issues, as well as
researchers interested in transport and technology.
This book updates African maritime economic history to analyse the
influence of seaports and seaborne trade, processes of urbanization
and development, and the impact of globalization on port evolution
within the different regions of Africa. It succeeds the seminal
collection edited by Hoyle & Hilling which was conceived during
a phase of sustained economic growth on the African continent, and
builds on a similar trend where African economies have experienced
processes of economic growth and the relative improvement of
welfare conditions. It provides valuable insights on port evolution
and the way the maritime sector has impacted the hinterland and the
regional economic structures of the affected countries, including
the several and varied agents involved in these activities. African
Seaports and Maritime Economics in Historical Perspective will be
useful for economists, historians, and geographers interested in
African and maritime issues, as well as policy makers interested in
path-dependence and long-term analysis
