The neglect of maritime governance by governments, institutions and the industry itself has been nothing short of remarkable. For a sector that is characterised by widespread corruption, inefficiency and excessive environmental pollution, injury and death, the inadequacies of the current structure of control, policy and administration, which have persisted throughout its development over many years whilst increasingly recognised, has resulted in little progress or improvement. This book provides a detailed yet concise and succinct interpretation of what constitutes maritime governance and its significance for the success, operation and influence of the sector.
The major drivers, their impact and how they inter-relate, are identified and the whole process is placed within the context of globalisation, a major factor within the shipping and ports industry. A framework for analysing maritime governance structures is put forward centred around jurisdiction, objectives, instruments and agencies. The issue of maritime governance is then examined from an international policy perspective and how this differs from domestic agendas. Conclusions are drawn on the future for maritime governance, how the current situation can be improved and the remaining problems considered. The book will be of great interest to scholars and students of maritime governance, as well as practitioners seeking a scholarly overview of the topic.
Michael Roe holds the Chair of Maritime and Logistics Governance at the University of Plymouth, UK. He previously worked with the Greater London Council and the Universities of Aston, Coventry, London Metropolitan and the University of London (City). The author of over 70 refereed journal papers and 16 books, he specialises in Eastern European maritime policy and the wider governance of maritime affairs.

What can one city tell us about the global textile waste problem? This Open Access study is the first detailed ethnography of clothing waste infrastructures that starts where the problem starts - the Global North. Based on more than 100 interviews, cultural anthropologist Heike Derwanz follows the journey of fast fashion in Hamburg, Germany: starting with two women from different socio-economic backgrounds sorting through their wardrobes, travelling through local flea markets, eBay, church clothes banks, upcycling brands and recycling sites, only to end up in homes and waste heaps in the Global South. Bringing together human agents such as designers, social workers and vintage sellers with objects from containers, plastic sacks and internet platforms to piles of sorted textiles, this on-the-ground cultural study reveals how the global economic system of fast fashion shapes local infrastructures entangled in everyday lives. Combining material culture, waste studies and economic perspectives to scrutinize the so-called circular economy of today's global textile recycling market, Derwanz investigates what agency modern consumers really have in the lifecycle of their clothes. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the Bloomsbury Open Collections Library Collective.

'A tale of rapacious colonialism, Cold War spy games, dazzling technical innovation, big business rivalry, big power geopolitics [...] an unflinching, landmark work on the nature of extractive capitalism' Patrick Radden Keefe, bestselling author of Empire of Painand Say Nothing'Joseph Conrad called colonial ventures in Africa "the vilest scramble for loot that ever disfigured the history of human conscience". After reading this book you might want to add the words "until now"' The TimesHow we became addicted to a supply chain that wreaks havoc across the globe.Epic, shocking, and deeply reported, The Elements of Power tells the story of the war for the global supply of battery metals - essential for the decarbonization of our economies - and the terrible, bloody human cost of this badly misunderstood industry.Congo is rich. Swaths of the war-torn African country lack basic infrastructure, and, after many decades of colonial occupation, its people are officially among the poorest in the world. But hidden beneath the soil are vast quantities of cobalt, lithium, copper, tin, tantalum, tungsten, and other treasures. Recently, this veritable periodic table of resources has become extremely valuable because these metals are essential for the global "energy transition"-the plan for wealthy nations to wean themselves off fossil fuels by shifting to sustainable forms of energy, such as solar and wind. The race to electrify the world's economy has begun, and China has a considerable head start. From Indonesia to South America to Central Africa, Beijing has invested in mines and infrastructure for decades. But the U.S. has begun fighting back with massive investments of its own, as well as sanctions and disruptive tariffs.In this rush for green energy, the world has become utterly reliant on resources unearthed far away and willfully blind to the terrible political, environmental, and social consequences of their extraction. If the Democratic Republic of the Congo possesses such riches, why are its children routinely descending deep into treacherous mines to dig with the most rudimentary of tools, or in some cases their bare hands? Why are Indonesia's seas and skies being polluted in a rush for battery metals? Why is the Western Sahara, a source for phosphates, still being treated like a colony? Who must pay the price for progress?With unparalleled, original reporting, Nicolas Niarchos reveals how the scramble to control these metals and their production is overturning the world order, just as the global race to drill for oil shaped the twentieth century. Exploring the advent of the lithium-ion battery and tracing the supply chain for its production, Niarchos tells the story both of the people driving these tectonic changes and those whose lives are being upended. He reveals the true, devastating consequences of our best intentions and helps us prepare for an uncertain future. If you have ever used a smartphone or driven an electric vehicle, you are implicated.

“Against the context of the dramatic return of the state in global business, this book skillfully blends cases drawn from seven centuries of business history with the strategies of contemporary firms to provide a compelling lens on the role of corporations as grand strategists.”
— Geoffrey Jones, Isidor Straus Professor of Business History, Harvard Business School, USA
“A deeply original contribution to strategic thought, Corporations as Grand Strategists invites readers to consider the moral, political, and technological foundations of corporate influence. Part history, part strategy, part prophecy, this book explains how corporations became architects of the world order in the past and continue to influence and mould the world order of today.”
— Timothy M. Devinney, Chair and Professor of International Business, Alliance Manchester Business School, UK
The return of the state and intensifying great power rivalries have made grand strategy a central concern for corporations. Extending the concept of nonmarket strategy into the realm of international balance-of-power dynamics, this book analyzes sixty-five historical and contemporary cases of firms acting as strategic actors alongside states in global power competition.&nbsp;
The book shows how corporations cultivate forms of smart power that complement and, at times, surpass those of the state, integrating corporate and grand strategic objectives. It identifies&nbsp;six archetypes of corporations as grand strategists: the exceptionalist, the techno-utopian, the statist, the semi-mercantilist, the stewardly, and the state-like corporation. Tracing their lineage to early modern empire-building and enduring through Cold War rivalries to today’s U.S.–China competition, these archetypes offer a framework linking corporate strategy to diverse hard and soft power industries, varieties of capitalism, state power, and strategic intent. &nbsp;
Manuel Hensmans is a Senior Lecturer of Strategy at the Université Libre de Bruxelles, Solvay Brussels School of Economics and Management, Belgium. He was a research fellow at Rotterdam School of Management, the University of Manchester, Strathclyde Business School and London Business School. He teaches various courses in strategy and innovation and has published widely in books and journals, for the scholarly and practitioner market.

From Historical Prototypes to Contemporary Archetypes

Corporations as Grand Strategists

How can a country industrialise without causing environmental damage? How do development professionals ensure they act in the interests of recipients, rather than their own donor country? And how is the humanitarian project of development complicated by ideological objectives? The fourth edition of this renowned textbook covers the most urgent issues facing the field of development. With the return of Russia as a global actor, renewed conflict in the Middle East, and global inequality exacerbated by climate change and global health crises, the questions underpinning international development are increasingly fraught. For most of its history, international development was shaped by Cold War competition; at the turn of the twenty-first century, the paradigm shifted as China assumed a greater role, and post-9/11 US development initiatives were intended to reduce militancy in the Middle East. As these tensions return to the world stage, it is ever more important for students to ask what development is - or should be - and what it can achieve. With increased attention to gender and postcolonial perspectives and strong coverage of security, economics and global order, this book is essential reading for students of international development.

'Glittering... the author's obvious enthusiasm for the subject is matched by impressive erudition' The Spectator 'The readable, scary, fun beach read of new crime literature' Financial Times When does a bandit become a monarch? When does a gang become a government? And is organised crime at the heart of every modern state? On a thrilling whistle-stop tour of how the world's criminal underbelly has shaped state-making, capitalism, globalisation and all forms of so-called legitimate power, Homo Criminalis shows the emergence of modern society through the evolution of the underworld and its crimes. From Chinese banditry and eighteenth-century English tea smuggling to today's cocaine submarines and the high-tech crimes of tomorrow, this book shows us how the world's dark underbelly shapes us, no matter how we try to outpace it. Entertaining, engaging and packed full of fascinating stories, Homo Criminalis is a book for those who want to see our grand story of progress through the surprising and subversive new lens of organised crime.
