Maritime Transportation and Regional Sustainability

Maritime Transportation and Regional Sustainability is a critical examination of the developing global connections between maritime transport and regional sustainability. This book provides a comprehensive, holistic examination on how the maritime transport sector helps regions to achieve their sustainability goals, especially focusing on the challenges posed by climate change. It analyzes maritime transport from multiple perspectives, establishing a strong theoretical framework drawn on evidence from both the developed and emerging economies across the globe. It identifies commonalities that contribute to a coherent transport-region relationship, including how martime operations, planning, and management impact regional governance. Tracing the vital threads linking transport to its regional surroundings, Maritime Transportation and Regional Sustainability analyses the major issues and challenges that maritime transport researchers, planners, and policymakers face.
