Description

Maritime trade underpins the global economy, with approximately ninety percent of all goods transported by ship. This comprehensive volume examines the profound transformations in shipbuilding and ship repair industries from 1950 to 2010, tracing how early British dominance gave way to Japanese competition in the 1950s, followed by the rise of South Korea and China as dominant forces. Through detailed case studies, the book explores how workers across different regions responded to these historic shifts in commercial pressures, technological advancement, and industrial relocation. Published by Amsterdam University Press and Routledge, this work provides essential historical context for understanding how global maritime industries evolved and the human dimension of industrial change during the post-World War II era.

Key Features

Covers six decades of shipbuilding history from 1950 to 2010, documenting major industrial shifts across Britain, Japan, South Korea, and China.

Explores workers' responses and adaptations during the transition from British dominance to Asian competition in the shipbuilding and ship repair sectors.

Uses multiple case studies to analyse how commercial pressures and technological changes reshaped maritime industries globally.

Published by Amsterdam University Press and Routledge as part of the Work around the Globe historical comparisons series.

Provides economic and social history context for understanding ninety percent of global goods transport conducted via ship.
