Afterword: The Past and Future of African Seaports.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.Palgrave Studies in Maritime Economics,2662-656XShippingEconomic historyAfricaEconomic conditionsGeographyAfricaHistoryMaritime EconomicsEconomic HistoryAfrican EconomicsRegional GeographyAfrican HistoryShipping.Economic history.AfricaEconomic conditions.Geography.AfricaHistory.Maritime Economics.Economic History.African Economics.Regional Geography.African History.387.5096330Olukoju Ayodejiedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtHidalgo Daniel Castilloedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910411930203321African Seaports and Maritime Economics in Historical Perspective2005625UNINA
