African seaports and maritime economics in historical perspective/Африканские морские порты и морская экономика в исторической перспективе

Издание на английском языке
Seaports constitute a critical element in the conduct of global trade. This explains the considerable volume of literature on them across space, time and disciplinary boundaries. Although Africa is a minor player in global shipping and maritime trade, its products — forest and agricultural produce, and minerals-and markets are vital to the manufacturing and defence industries of the developed countries of the world. Consequently, African seaports are important not only as conduits for conveying raw material and industrial manufactures in opposite directions, but also for their strategic location along the sea lanes of the world. They are also important as gateways to a vast continental hinterland that is richly endowed with human and natural resources.
