Book excerpt: La teoría del crecimiento en el ámbito de la Economía Marítima explica de forma eficiente las rutas de equilibrio y compara las distintas posiciones de los países, tarea en la cual las aportaciones científicas han avanzado mucho.

También se incorpora una amplia referencia al comercio marítimo en lo que respecta a cartera de pedidos, nuevos buques entregados por los astilleros y actividad en la utilización de la flota. Se analiza la estructura del mercado de fletes en relación con el tipo de mercancía, buque utilizado para el transporte y rutas. Los capítulos finales incorporan un análisis muy novedoso de la conectividad y el desarrollo de las redes marítimas, así como de las estrategias del marketing portuario ante los desafíos de la globalización marítima. Este trabajo pretende cubrir el espacio existente entre las necesidades del negocio marítimo y del mercado de fletes y los medios de análisis disponibles hasta el momento. Se espera que sea una herramienta útil para profesores, alumnos, investigadores y profesionales que deseen mejorar el conocimiento del tráfico marítimo a nivel mundial.
Download or read book Metals and Monies in an Emerging Global Economy written by Arturo Giráldez and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The literature on early-modern monetary history is vast and rich, yet overly Eurocentric. This book takes a global approach. It calls attention to the fact that, for example, Japan and South America were dominant in silver production, while China was the principal end-market; key areas for transshipment included Europe and Africa, India and the Middle East. Europeans were often just middlemen. Other monetized substances - gold, copper and cowries - must also be viewed globally. The interrelated trades in metals and monies are what first linked worldwide markets, and disequilibrium within the silver market in the 16th and 17th centuries was an active cause of this global trade.
Download or read book Glosario Del Banco Mundial written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1996 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition of the World Bank has been revised and expanded by the Terminology Unit in the Languages Services Division of the World Bank in collaboration with the English, Spanish, and French Translation Sections. The Glossary is intended to assist the Bank's translators and interpreters, other Bank staff using French and Spanish in their work, and free-lance translator's and interpreters employed by the Bank. For this reason, the Glossary contains not only financial and economic terminology and terms relating to the Bank's procedures and practices, but also terms that frequently occur in Bank documents, and others for which the Bank has a preferred equivalent. Although many of these terms, relating to such fields as agriculture, education, energy, housing, law, technology, and transportation, could be found in other sources, they have been assembled here for ease of reference. A list of acronyms occurring frequently in Bank texts (the terms to which they refer being found in the Glossary) and a list of international, regional, and national organizations will be found at the end of the Glossary.

Book excerpt: En el nuevo contexto de la globalización, el lenguaje se convierte en un elemento imprescindible para la comunicación, la negociación y para culminar los intercambios mercantiles; esto es, constituye un rasgo esencial para adecuarse a las normas que imperan en el funcionamiento de las actividades económicas. En el específico campo de las actividades marítimas, el inglés está reconocido como lengua franca por la Organización Marítima Internacional, y adquiere cada vez mayor importancia en el proceso de estandarización de las gestiones realizadas para el desarrollo del transporte marítimo a la luz del creciente número de intercambios internacionales de mercancías y de servicios por vía marítima y debido a la proliferación de buques con tripulaciones que hablan idiomas diferentes. Este volumen pretende proporcionar una guía útil que aporte el material adecuado y de apoyo en todas aquellas cuestiones referidas a las actividades marítimas: el puerto, el buque, las mercancías, las comunicaciones, los mecanismos operativos y los formularios básicos; integrando aquellos elementos esenciales que se refieren al funcionamiento de los operadores, agentes y gestores de dichas actividades. El Instituto Universitario de Estudios Marítimos, consciente de su labor divulgativa, investigadora y docente, ofrece un texto práctico y manejable que familiarizará al lector con la terminología inglesa propia de la operativa portuaria y marítima.

Download or read book Rio de Janeiro in the Global Meat Market c 1850 to c 1930 written by Maria-Aparecida Lopes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-07-19 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the meat provision system of Rio de Janeiro from the 1850s to the 1930s. Until the 1920s, Rio was Brazil’s economic hub, main industrial city, and prime consumer market. Meat consumption was an indicator of living standards and a matter of public concern. The work unveils that in the second half of the nineteenth century, the city was well supplied with red meat. Initially, dwellers relied mostly on salted meat; then, in the latter decades of the 1800s, two sets of changes upgraded fresh meat deliveries. First, ranching expansion and transportation innovation in southeast and central-west Brazil guaranteed a continuous flow of cattle to Rio. Second, the municipal centralization of meat processing and distribution made its provision regular and predictable. By the early twentieth century, fresh meat replaced salted meat in the urban marketplace. This study examines these developments in light of national and global developments in the livestock and meat industries.
