Reviews
'Port cities have become key enablers of global supply and production chains. The study of port cities, and particularly the relation between ports and cities, has reached new heights to address paradigm shifts in the institutional and market environment. This book constitutes a major contribution to existing literature by presenting a convincing in-depth analysis of the fast changing dynamics in port-city relationships in China, a country where the practices of the states are probably more important than the procedures of the firms.' Theo Notteboom, University of Antwerp, Belgium 'The scale and scope of recent change in China's port cities is staggering. James Wang, the leading scholar on Chinese ports, provides a comprehensive interpretation of multi- level institutional forces that intersect with commercial imperatives behind the present complex spatial relationships in coastal China. The book guides the reader through the complexity and reviews the contemporary challenges. It is nothing less than a tour de force.' Brian Slack, Concordia University, Montreal, Canada
