African seaports and maritime economics in historical perspective[electronic resource] /edited by Ayodeji Olukoju, Daniel Castillo Hidalgo. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2020. - xviii, 239 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - Palgrave studies in maritime economics,2662-6551. - Palgrave studies in maritime economics..

1. Introduction -- 2: African Seaports in Transition, 1850-1880s -- 3: Port systems and regional hierarchies in Africa in the long term -- 4: Modernization and development of the Moroccan port model during the Protectorate (1912-1956) -- 5: Seaports of the Gulf of Guinea, c.1970-2018: developments and transformations -- 6: Port's performance: the case of East African ports -- 7: The development of the container port system in Southern Africa -- 8: Maritime Networks of Africa and Asia -- 9. 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.
