This new book is very timely with its broad approach to port management from a geographical, operational and policy perspective. Competition between ports is fierce with ports extending their hinterland area, even across national boundaries, while at the same time providing more value-added logistics services. This new port management competitive paradigm is truly reflected in this book and is a must-read not only for policymakers, but also for any scholars who would like to obtain insights into the future of port management and its possible impact on global supply chains.-- "Associate Professor Ruth Banomyong, Thammasat University, Bangkok"<br><br>There are hardly any authentic textbooks on port management that can be referred to by the academic community and by practising managers in the maritime sector. This void has been very effectively filled by <b><i>Port Management</i></b>. Extremely well written by a select group of 40 experts, this is an eminently readable book with a balanced mix of port operations and policy analysis; it also provides critical assessment of policy effectiveness, governance and regulatory issues. <b><i>Port Management</i></b> is a must-read text in the field.-- "Dr Jose Paul, Former Chairman of Mormugao Port Trust, Goa; Former Acting Chairman JN Port, Mumbai; and Adjunct Professor of Maritime Studies, AMET University, Chennai"<br><br>This is an ambitious, comprehensive and wide-ranging text which gives many useful insights into a number of aspects of the global ports sector. It will be of value to all who have an interest in the role and development of the world's ports and relevant cognate areas - academics, practitioners, consultants and policy makers. The book has a truly global coverage and brings together an array of some of the leading thinkers in the field. The clever organization of the text allows the reader to zone in on particular topics should they so wish, while individual chapters are augmented with many useful references which allow further investigation. The book's editors are to be commended for continuing Cardiff University's proud tradition of making substantial contributions to the canon of literature about the world's ports.-- "Professor John Mangan, Chair in Marine Transport and Logistics, School of Engineering, Newcastle University, United Kingdom"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Dr Stephen Pettit </b>is a researcher for the Transport and Shipping Research Group in Cardiff Business School, UK.
