Port Performance Research Network (PPRN)
Port Performance Research Network (PPRN) workshop, Copenhagen
June 23rd 2009 , 08.45 - 17.00
The 7th Port Performance Research Network Workshop will be held Tuesday 23rd June (the eve of IAME 2009) at the Copenhagen Malmö Port Headquarters in Copenhagen, with the assistance of Pierre Cariou, World Maritime University.
The Port Performance Network is informal network of maritime economists interested in issues of port policy. It was established at the IAME 2001 meeting in Hong Kong to undertake empirical testing of port governance and is currently coordinated by Drs Mary Brooks and Thanos Pallis. Since then, PPRN has met 6 times and its members produced a summary report of port governance structures and port developments in 14 countries. The outcome of the first phase of PPRN activities was published in: Brooks and Cullinane (eds) 2007 Devolution, Port Governance and Port Performance London: Elsvier.
The current phase of the PPRN activities is devoted in further empirical and conceptual analysis of port governance models and performance. Taking stock of the results from the Athens meeting, the forthcoming PPRN meeting will further discuss frameworks and structure future research lines on the following themes that have been identified during the Athens Meeting:
- Users (and other stakeholders) perspectives and port effectiveness.
- Port Authorities' strategies and Port Governance
- Concessions and Port Governance
- Institutional frameworks
