Reviews
'A very useful and thoroughly professional summary of EU port policy up to the present time, and provides a wide audience with a valuable reference source in this area. It is therefore essential reading for industrial practitioners and academics in this field.' -- Anthony K.C. Beresford, International Journal of Maritime History
'The societal relevance of the study is clear. . . the scientific relevance of the study seems to go without saying. . . The study is a real must for those who are (getting) involved in national and European port policy making, because it provides a clear and extensive overview of how the debates and policy goals have progressed. The book can also be seen as a foundation for interested scholars who wish to investigate the mechanisms of European policy making in a multifaceted and multi-actor sector.' -- H. Stevens, Maritime Economics and Logistics
'This useful book is a welcome and timely addition to a series on transport economics, management and policy edited by Kenneth Button. . . As a comprehensive analysis and thorough reference work . . . the book will appeal strongly as a progress report to all those in academic and policy circles with an interest in ports, transport and European integration. . .' -- Brian S. Hoyle, Growth and Change

A coherent common EU wide port policy has not yet been achieved, but the authors of this book argue that it has a major role to play in European integration and that its significance in this context is set to increase. European Union Port Policy assesses the progress that has been made towards a comprehensive policy framework, reviewing the impact of both historical and contemporary policy initiatives - such as the recent 'port package' - before forecasting expected developments in policy making and the prospects of successfully achieving a single port policy.
This book offers a unique review of port policy in the EU and will appeal to all those in academic and policy circles with an interest in both transport and European integration.
