This book offers a comprehensive study of regional
industrialization in Europe and Asia from the early nineteenth
century to the present. Using case studies on regional
industrialization, the book provides insights into similarities and
differences in industrialization processes between European,
Eurasian and Asian countries. Important factors include the
transition from traditional to modern industrial production,
industrial policy, agglomeration forces, market integration, and
the determinants of industrial location over time. The book is an
invaluable reference that attempts to bridge the fields of economic
history, political history, economic geography, and economics while
contributing to the debates on economic divergence between Europe
and Asia as well as on the role of economic integration and
globalization.

The present volume contains the proceedings of an international
conference on the economic history of the seaports of Antwerp and
Rotterdam (1870-2000). This venue was held at Antwerp on 10-11 May
2001 and was hosted by the Antwerp Port Authority. This
international conference aimed at confronting the development of
both ports. In the course of the last century and a half, economic
growth in the ports of Antwerp and Rotterdam has been staggering.
Maritime economic historians, economists and geographers alike have
investigated the development of both ports extensively, but
separately. So far, only a limited number of attempts have been
made to analyse Rotterdam-Antwerp port history from a comparative
perspective. The papers presented at the conference provide a
challenging starting point to - certain how and why both ports
reacted differently to virtually the same economic and political
stimuli. By bringing together both historians, economists and
lawyers with different fields of interest, we have attempted to put
the history of the ports of Antwerp and Rotterdam in a broader
international and comparative perspective.
