Models of static, multi-level and network governance and maritime policy. Maritime Governance and Policy-Making: Postmodernism, the Role of the Nation-State and the Omnipresence of Space-Time Compression in a Capitalist Society
This research centres on the causes of failure of many public policy initiatives in the shipping and ports sectors in the past 25 years. These range from the inconsistencies associated with liner shipping regulation, through repeated disasters in the bulk and ferry shipping sectors, to problematic relations between the European Union, the IMO, the OECD and major maritime nation states and culminating in the recent inadequacies in EU ports policy initiatives. Recent work has focussed on a Marxist interpretation of events, taking Harvey’s (1982, 1989, 1990) concept of a ‘spatial fix’ with regards to capital accumulation that requires continuous space-time compression to sustain the capitalist system’s desire for growth and development. Passing from a Post-Fordist/modernist environment characterised in governance terms by a period of state-centred hierarchies whereby maritime policy-making was focussed upon state initiatives, state influence in supra-national and international bodies such as the EU and IMO, and state control of regional and local finance, we have moved from around 1970-1980 to a period of Postmodernism characterised by increasingly quick and severe compression of both space and time commonly termed ‘globalisation’ which has made unviable the modernist state-centric governance hierarchy. However, state-centric, hierarchical political and governance structures in the maritime sector have yet to catch up resulting in the policy failures that have been identified in recent years. The research will focus on how governance in the maritime sector needs to adapt to meet the demands of a Postmodernist environment and the continuing pressure for accelerated space-time compression.
