Port Privatisation

Edited by James Reveley, Senior Lecturer in Management, Faculty of Commerce, University of Wollongong, Australia and Malcolm Tull, Associate Professor in Economics, Murdoch Business School and Asia Research Centre, Murdoch University, Australia

'This book is an excellent reference on the state of port reform throughout the Asia-Pacific region. While there have been a number of articles in recent years on port reform in Australia, China, Hong Kong, Korea and Singapore, much of the Asia-Pacific region has been overlooked. This book not only rectifies this gap by providing much needed insight into the situation in India, Japan, Malaysia, and New Zealand, while also consolidating the work already completed elsewhere. With the rise of Asia as the world's most important shipping and port market, the editors are to be commended for bringing new voices to the discussion and developing a strong contribution to the port reform and port governance literature.'
