Bergqvist, R., & Monios, J. (2016). The last mile, inbound logistics and intermodal high capacity transport - the case of Jula in Sweden. World review of intermodal transportation research, 6(1), 74-92. https://doi.org/10.1504/writr.2016.078157

Some of the biggest challenges for intermodal transport competitiveness are the extra handling costs and pre- and post-haulage costs. This paper investigates the use of Intermodal High Capacity Transport (IHCT) for the intermodal transport chain in g...

Port governance in the UK: Planning without policy (2016)
Journal Article
Monios, J. (2017). Port governance in the UK: Planning without policy. Research in Transportation Business & Management, 22, 78-88. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rtbm.2016.10.006

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.

Drivers for vertical integration in the rail sector: using wagons as “relationship specific assets" (2016)
Journal Article

Purpose – This paper uses a combination of transaction cost economics (TCE), the resource-based view (RBV) and the relational view to analyse vertical integration in the rail sector, through which rail wagons are viewed as “relationship specific asse...

Institutional structure and agency in the governance of spatial diversification of port system evolution in Latin America. (2016)
Journal Article

Port development is challenged not only by growing trade flows, but by institutional conditions that are more contextual, exhibiting aspects of both path dependence and contingency. This paper analyses the intersection of two clear trends in the evol...

Between path dependency and contingency: New challenges for the geography of port system evolution (2016)
Journal Article
Monios, J., & Wilmsmeier, G. (2016). Between path dependency and contingency: New challenges for the geography of port system evolution. Journal of Transport Geography, 51, 247-251. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtrangeo.2016.01.008

Seaports play a critical role as gateways and facilitators of economic interchange and logistics processes and thus have become crucial nodes in globalised production networks andmobility systems. Both the physical port infrastructure and its operati... Read More about Between path dependency and contingency: New challenges for the geography of port system evolution.
