Abstract

Hall P. V. and Jacobs W. Shifting proximities: the maritime ports sector in an era of global supply chains, Regional Studies. Economic geographers argue that spatial and non-spatial dimensions of proximity are central to innovation and collective action. The various dimensions of proximity in relation to maritime ports are examined. Global supply chains represent a shift in organizational and cognitive proximities between seaports and among port users. In the process, extra-local relationships have become even more influential in maritime port development. As organizational proximity between dominant port users has increased through vertical and horizontal integration, territorially based institutional and social proximities, especially as regards stable and shared regulatory systems, are increasingly important as a counterbalance to ensure openness to innovation and upgrading.

Les geographes economiques affirment que les dimensions geographiques et non-geographiques de la proximite sont essentielles a l'innovation et aux actions collectives. On cherche a examiner les diverses dimensions de la proximite par rapport aux ports maritimes. Les chaines d'approvisionnement mondialisees representent un deplacement des proximites organisationnelles et cognitives entre les ports maritimes et parmi les usagers des ports. En meme temps, les rapports externes sont devenus de plus en plus determinants quant au developpement des ports maritimes. Au fur et a mesure que la proximite organisationnelle entre les principaux usagers des ports a augmente par moyen de l'integration verticale et horizontale, les proximites institutionnelles et sociales basees sur les territoires, surtout pour ce qui est des systemes de controle stables et partagees, s'averent de plus en plus importants comme contrepoids pour assurer l'ouverture en ce qui concerne l'innovation et l'amelioration. Chaines d'approvisonnement mondialisees Innovation Proximite Ports maritimes Hall P. V. und Jacobs W. Veranderliche Nahe: der Sektor der Meereshafen in einem Zeitalter der globalen Lieferketten, Regional Studies. Seitens der Wirtschaftsgeografen wird argumentiert, dass die raumlichen und nicht-raumlichen Dimensionen der Nahe einen zentralen Aspekt der Innovation und des kollektiven Handelns darstellen. Wir untersuchen die verschiedenen Dimensionen der Nahe im Hinblick auf Meereshafen. Globale Lieferketten fuhren zu einer Verschiebung der organisationellen und kognitiven Nahe zwischen Meereshafen und Hafennutzern. In diesem Prozess sind extralokale Beziehungen bei der Entwicklung von Meereshafen noch wichtiger geworden. Da die organisationelle Nahe zwischen dominanten Hafennutzern durch vertikale und horizontale Integration zugenommen hat, wird eine territorial basierte institutionelle und soziale Nahe - insbesondere hinsichtlich stabiler und gemeinsamer Regulierungssysteme - als Gegengewicht zur Gewahrleistung von Offenheit fur Innovation und Verbesserung zunehmend wichtig. Globale Lieferketten Innovation Nahe Meereshafen Hall P. V. y Jacobs W. Cambio de proximidades: el sector de puertos maritimos en la era de cadenas de suministro global, Regional Studies. Los geografos economicos defienden que las dimensiones espaciales y no espaciales de proximidad son fundamentales para la innovacion y la accion colectiva. Aqui analizamos las diferentes dimensiones de proximidad con relacion a los puertos maritimos. Las cadenas de suministro global representan un cambio en los proximidades organizativas y cognitivas entre los puertos maritimos y sus usuarios. En este proceso, las relaciones extra locales han llegado a ser aun mas influyentes en el desarrollo de puertos maritimos. Como la proximidad organizativa entre los usuarios de puertos dominantes ha aumentado a traves de una integracion vertical y horizontal, las proximidades institucionales y sociales basadas en el territorios, sobre todo en lo que respecta a los sistemas reguladores estables y compartidos, son cada vez mas importantes como contra equilibrio para asegurar la apertura a la innovacion y mejora.
