• 01 02 The Nordic countries have played a key role in shipping for over a century, but have had to contend with declining employment and loss of markets over the last fifty years. Globalization has led to a series of new challenges and opportunities in the maritime industries - both the rules of the game and the playing field have changed. This book analyzes how shipping companies and authorities in Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland have adapted to these changes. It explains why important parts of Nordic shipping failed to respond effectively to the economic integration process, while other parts were able to exploit the global growth opportunities. By linking company strategies to changes in political and institutional frameworks, this book maps out the transformation of an entire industry. 19 02 An interdisciplinary study of the history of the shipping industry  Evaluates the preconditions for the development of the industry, including political, economic and institutional factors Includes a comparative analysis of the successes and failures of the industry in Nordic nations, drawing valuable policy lessons 31 02 A comparative analysis of the development of the shipping sector in the Nordic region after 1960 13 02 STIG TENOLD Professor of Economic History at the Norwegian School of Economics, Bergen.
