About the book
Over 90 per cent of the goods we use – from our smartphones to the fuel in our cars – are transported by ships. The cargo shipping industry is the most globalised industry in the world, yet we know very little about the context in which these ships operate or the ways in which seafaring labour is organised. Drawing on evidence from South Africa and the Philippines, Waves of Change provides an account of globalisation, seafaring labour markets and the state that allows us to understand how processes of globalisation unfold in this industry. The author shows that globalisation does not always mean a ‘race to the bottom’ for workers: labour solidarity and interventionist states shape globalisation as much as ship owners do. Scholars, policy makers, students and those with a general interest in globalisation and labour will find Waves of Change a revelatory account of an industry about which little is generally known.
‘Waves of Change highlights the complex, often poorly understood world of the global shipping industry and the seafarers who carry more than 90% of the world’s trade by volume. As one of the oldest global industries, the book challenges the simplistic capitalistic and neoclassical ideals that subsequently argue for nation states to leave the commercial fate of any domestic shipping industry to global market forces. Instead the author asks many critical questions. Most profound being if nations rely on shipping so heavily and global markets are so turbulent and equilibrium so elusive, why have so many governments abandoned shipping industry reform? This impressive book challenges us to ask why nations are passively ignoring the social and economic benefits derived from a properly regulated, competitive shipping industry manned by seafarers who are not only competent, but recognised for their contribution to a nation’s success.’

Dear Colleagues
Although we have received over a hundred contributions, as a result of many requests for a deadline extension and since for the first time the IAME conference did not use preliminary abstract submission, the IAME2016 organisers have decided to keep the submission system open until the 30th of March, so there is still time to submit your papers or amend/improve the ones you have already submitted.
Please note that after that date papers will be allocated to reviewers and it will therefore not be possible to submit contributions for the full review track. Please also note, however, that it will still be possible to submit contributions not for review until the 12th of June. Contributions submitted after the 30th of March will be included in the programme if accepted, but will not be eligible for publication in the selected proceedings or the journal special issues.
We hope to see you all in Hamburg!
Best regards,
The IAME2016 Conference Organising Committee
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Event
IAME 2016 will be held in Hamburg on the 23rd-26th of August 2016. The conference, for the first time in Germany, will be co-organised by the Hamburg School of Business Administration (HSBA) and the Kühne Logistics University (KLU) with the support of the University of Hamburg (UHH), the Technical University of Hamburg (TUHH), and the Fraunhofer Center for Maritime Logistics and Services (CML). All institutions involved are united by the desire to show the beauty of Hamburg to the world and contribute to the reputation of the metropolis on the Elbe as a leading centre for research in maritime economics and management.
Conference Theme
The role of Hamburg in ship finance and the position of the city as one of the world ship-owning capitals is well established. The Hamburg ship-owning community is an important contributor to innovation in the sector and to the wealth of the city. In addition the Hamburg port is in the forefront in the areas of efficiency and sustainability. Given the importance of such topics for the years to come, the conference theme has been selected as: The maritime transport of the future: the role of innovation uptake, sustainability and availability of shipping finance.
Contributions are invited in the areas including but not limited to:
