- The output results from a 7-year long project involving travel, ethnography aboard containerships, access to fourteen archives globally, fieldwork and 50+ interviews in most countries of the Arabian Peninsula, as well as Pakistan, India, the Philippines, Singapore, Hong Kong, the Netherlands, the UK and the US. Because maritime infrastructure is defined to include physical facilities (including harbours, railways and roads emanating from ports), management structures, free zones, electronic systems and software, finance and insurance, the book analyses the politics of a vast range of materials and places, and research with workers, financial experts, engineers, technocrats, port managers and political figures.
