’The International Handbook of Maritime Economics, expertly edited by Kevin Cullinane, is a very welcome addition to the maritime economics literature. Reflecting the widened scope of the International Association of Maritime Economics, it covers traditional maritime economics nicely complemented with port economics and management as well as hinterland transport. The book also balances shipping segments, geographical areas and management perspectives. The contributors clearly demonstrate their leading expertise when putting shipping into a trade, logistics and policy context. I sincerely recommend this book to anyone interested in contemporary shipping issues.’
