During the last decades there have been important changes in the ways that goods are produced and distributed. This book analyzes the spatial outcomes of these changes by addressing key questions such as which places are taking advantage of this new configuration of flows? How do the firms in such places use transport and logistics to increase their power over other firms? It moves geographically from the global to the local and examines maritime transport and ports as well as logistics and road transport. The results are relevant for any countries where logistics and transport are central to regional development initiatives.
