Abstract

Without shipping and its ability to forge connections and networks of a global reach, the modern world would look very different. This introductory chapter provides a broad sketch of the relationship between shippingshipping and globalization in the post-war era. Shipping was both an example and an engine of globalization in this period. It was among the first industries exposed to fierce globalized competition, and the shipping industry experienced and pioneered, mirrored and enabled key developments that led to the present-day globalized economy. Indeed, many of the organizational models and mechanisms that characterize the current corporate landscape grew out of the extremely mobile shipping industry.
