Afterword: The Past and Future of African Seaports. 330 $aThis book updates African maritime economic history to analyse the influence of seaports and seaborne trade, processes of urbanization and development, and the impact of globalization on port evolution within the different regions of Africa. It succeeds the seminal collection edited by Hoyle & Hilling which was conceived during a phase of sustained economic growth on the African continent, and builds on a similar trend where African economies have experienced processes of economic growth and the relative improvement of welfare conditions. It provides valuable insights on port evolution and the way the maritime sector has impacted the hinterland and the regional economic structures of the affected countries, including the several and varied agents involved in these activities. African Seaports and Maritime Economics in Historical Perspective will be useful for economists, historians, and geographers interested in African and maritime issues, as well as policy makers interested in path-dependence and long-term analysis. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Maritime Economics,$x2662-6551 606 $aShipping 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aPhysical geography 606 $aMaritime Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W55000 606 $aEconomic History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W41000 606 $aAfrican Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W45020 606 $aWorld Regional Geography (Continents, Countries, Regions)$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J19000 606 $aAfrican History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/714000 607 $aAfrica$xEconomic conditions 607 $aAfrica$xHistory 615 0$aShipping. 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aPhysical geography. 615 14$aMaritime Economics. 615 24$aEconomic History. 615 24$aAfrican Economics. 615 24$aWorld Regional Geography (Continents, Countries, Regions). 615 24$aAfrican History. 676 $a387.5096 676 $a330 702 $aOlukoju$b Ayodeji$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aCastillo Hidalgo$b Daniel$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910411930203321 996 $aAfrican Seaports and Maritime Economics in Historical Perspective$92005625 997 $aUNINA
