The case of LLDCs has naturally received special attention for decades, including a specific set of development priorities based on the idea of dependence over the transit state. In this context, efforts to tackle the cost of being landlocked have been mainly directed to ensure or facilitate freedom of transit through regional/multilateral conventions, and to develop regional transport infrastructure. In contrast, analysis of service delivery constraints has bDirections in DevelopmentBusiness logisticsLandlocked statesTransportationLandlocked statesCostsElectronic books.Business logisticsTransportationCosts.658.7Arvis Jean-François1960-859050Raballand Gaël604724Marteau Jean-François859051MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458171803321The cost of being landlocked1917467UNINA
