This book creates a positive impression with the breadth of its subject matter and the willingness to delve deeper. What makes it unique in the world is its detailed coverage of national shipping policies of third countries, which are analyzed and commented on in a manner that allows for horizontal comparisons among them.
Moreover, it is rare for a volume to include such diverse topics as the Hague Visby Rules, which describe the carrier/shipper relationships, and comments on South Korea's shipping policy, which has recently garnered attention from the International Trade Organization.
On the other hand, one cannot fail to appreciate the in-depth understanding of the existing dilemmas regarding Greek shipping policy and the future of the Piraeus cluster. Ultimately, as emerges from the eighth chapter of the book, this is the deeper challenge of any shipping policy: to understand the existing interdependencies in order to predict the impacts of a change in one sector on the others.
We can only wish for those who design these policies to have the broad perspective on matters that this book teaches us, as conveyed by Professor and friend George Vlachos.
