The UK's highly privatised port system means that, while many of the issues in the port governance literature relevant to port concessions do not arise here, the respective roles of harbour authorities and port operators continue to be questioned. Th... Read More about Port governance in the UK: Planning without policy.

Policy transfer or policy churn? Institutional isomorphism and neoliberal convergence in the transport sector (2016)
Journal Article
Monios, J. (2017). Policy transfer or policy churn? Institutional isomorphism and neoliberal convergence in the transport sector. Environment and Planning A, 49(2), 351-371. https://doi.org/10.1177/0308518x16673367

While the features of successful policy transfer are well known, there is some evidence that increase in policy transfer is associated with convergence of not just policies but institutional and organisational forms. Institutional isomorphism is ofte... Read More about Policy transfer or policy churn? Institutional isomorphism and neoliberal convergence in the transport sector.

Report
Monios, J., Notteboom, T., Wilmsmeier, G., & Rodrigue, J. (2016). Competition and complementarity between seaports and hinterlands for locating distribution activities

A locational duality in port-related distribution activities is emerging. In some regions, distribution activities have moved from ports to inland locations, driven in part by ‘push factors’ such as port congestion and scarcity of land for container...
