Shipping and Globalization in the Post-War Era/Судоходство и глобализация в послевоенную эпоху

Книга на английском языке
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
