European Ports: Economics & Policies

European Ports: Economy & Policies (EPEP) analyses the contemporary European port sector. The emphasis is on how ports in Europe are organised to serve the European economy and regional and local development needs as well as on the policy initiatives developed by the European Union (EU). It draws on a conceptual background supported by extensive fieldwork and empirical observations, including analyses of flows, ports, and the strategies and policies that articulate their dynamics.
