Year: 2019 Language: english Author: Niels P. Petersson · Stig Tenold · Nicholas J. White Genre: Conference Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 292 Description: How can we understand the interaction between globalization and shipping? This book highlights the importance of dialogue connecting historians of various specialist backgrounds as well as social scientists. It demonstrates the value of interdisciplinary approaches to analysing complex connections across various parts of Europe, Asia, Africa, the Americas and Australasia. It throws new light on the transformations of the period since World War II—political, ideological and technological as well as economic— and stimulates further enquiry. It combines the key benefits of a historical perspective, such as awareness of longer-term structural change, context and the dynamic interplay of continuity and change, with social scientists’ interest in the forces shaping the present-day world. The book is divided into three sections entitled Contexts, Companies and Connections. The first section illustrates the usefulness of a multidisciplinary approach, investigating three large-scale historical processes, decolonization, the rise of Asia and the emergence of new structures of international governance, through the lens of shipping. The second section analyses one of the important driving forces of these macro-processes— the companies that created new markets and forged new connections. Our case studies of three liner shipping companies, Maersk, EAC and Ocean, and their very different trajectories provide insight into the strategies and performance of both successful and unsuccessful firms. The third section focuses on shipping’s role in the emergence of new global connections at a more specific level, studying individual ships’ global ‘biographies’ and how business leaders were breaking down established institutional forms and transcending boundaries between countries and industries. Through the analysis of such examples, the book highlights how shipping was embedded in and contributed to the transformations of business and society in the post-war era.

Description: How can we understand the interaction between globalization and
shipping? This book highlights the importance of dialogue connecting
historians of various specialist backgrounds as well as social scientists. It
demonstrates the value of interdisciplinary approaches to analysing complex
connections across various parts of Europe, Asia, Africa, the Americas
and Australasia. It throws new light on the transformations of the period
since World War II—political, ideological and technological as well as economic—
and stimulates further enquiry. It combines the key benefits of a
historical perspective, such as awareness of longer-term structural change,
context and the dynamic interplay of continuity and change, with social
scientists’ interest in the forces shaping the present-day world.
The book is divided into three sections entitled Contexts, Companies
and Connections. The first section illustrates the usefulness of a multidisciplinary
approach, investigating three large-scale historical processes,
decolonization, the rise of Asia and the emergence of new structures of
international governance, through the lens of shipping. The second section
analyses one of the important driving forces of these macro-processes—
the companies that created new markets and forged new connections. Our
case studies of three liner shipping companies, Maersk, EAC and Ocean,
and their very different trajectories provide insight into the strategies and
performance of both successful and unsuccessful firms. The third section
focuses on shipping’s role in the emergence of new global connections at a
more specific level, studying individual ships’ global ‘biographies’ and how
business leaders were breaking down established institutional forms and
transcending boundaries between countries and industries. Through the
analysis of such examples, the book highlights how shipping was embedded
in and contributed to the transformations of business and society in
the post-war era.
