"Emerging Global Logistics Networks: Implications for Transport System and Policies"

in Growth and Changes Vol. 34 Issue 4, 2003, pp. 456 - 472

In the last decades we have seen a steady growth of international trade and international transport. Logistics chains are constantly changing to facilitate these increasingly global movements. In qualitative terms, long-term trends in logistics services indicate a growing degree of product customisation and an increased responsiveness in order delivery. These developments impact on the development of technology and the growth of welfare in different world regions in different ways. This paper will help to improve our understanding of the interrelationships between trade, logistics, transport and regional development at a global scale. Our key starting point is the need for more and more efficient transportation and sophisticated logistics processes. This discussion leads us to the identification of some new - esearch challenges in the field of transportation and logistics.
