The globalization of the waves: shipping and its role in promoting global
markets for goods, services, capital, labor, and ideas, c. 1800—2000

For the accepted session in the 18th WEHC in Boston, 29 July – 3 August,
2018 

By definition, international seaborne transport is an activity that crosses
borders, where the factors of production have always been extremely mobile.
Ships and seamen are employed all over the world, so the link to the “home
country” is often very limited. Consequently, shipping has sometimes been
referred to as “the world’s first globalized industry”. Moreover, shipping
is an activity that promotes globalization of other markets, by integrating
agents that are geographically dispersed. The aim of our sessions is to analyze
these two dimensions – both the globalized and the globalizing aspects of
shipping – and how they have developed across time. Improvements in shipping
tied the continents together and facilitated the establishment and growth of the
international economy.

We invite papers analyzing the pioneering role of the shipping industry in
establishing global markets – for goods, services, capital, labor, and ideas
– and also evaluate the manner in which the global dimension has affected
seafaring cultures and communities.

Please send your proposal (abstract and CV) to jari.ojala at jyu.fi before
February 1st, 2018. Notice of acceptance will be sent before the end of March
2018.
