| Abstract: | Athough the European Commission has sought to promote competition in the port transport sector and recommended the adoption of "common principles" and a uniform "management philosophy", significant differences between ports persist in terms of management and labour regulation on the one hand, and operational efficiency and international competitiveness on the other. Through a social-institutional perspective, the authors demonstrate how labour regulation facilitated change and international competitiveness in Antwerp, but retarded the potential of technological and other productivity-enhancing development, in different ways, in London and Le Havre. |
