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.’

Submit your paper for IAME2016 Conference | Deadline extension until March 30th

Wednesday, 16 March 2016

 
Deadline for full paper submissions*: 30 March 2016 
* Journal special issue(s) IAME selected proceedings, IAME USB proceedings
Deadline for paper submissions**: 12 June 2016
** Extended abstracts for presentation only, poster sessions and papers with no review process

 

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,
