Samenvatting

The COVID-19 pandemic, Brexit and the US-China trade dispute have heightened interest in the geopolitics and security of modern ports.

Ports are where contemporary societal dilemmas converge:
- the (de)regulation of international flows;
- the (in)visible impact of globalization;
- the perennial tension between trade and security;
- the thin line between legitimate, illicit and illegal.

Applying a multidisciplinary lens to the political economy of port security, this book presents a unique outlook on the social, economic and political factors that shape organized crime and governance.

Advancing the research agenda, this text bridges the divide between global and local, and theory and practice.
