Sustainable Port Clusters and Economic Development Building Competitiveness through Clustering of Spatially Dispersed Supply Chains

“The book is both extensive and unique in examining the spatial and activity scope of port collaboration, but its focus remains on the Benelux region within Northwest Europe. … This book should therefore be seen as a solid and inspiring building block for a broader scope analysis of port collaboration, as opposed to being the definitive work on the subject matter.” (Michaël Dooms, Maritime Economics & Logistics, Vol. 22, 2020)
