Reforming public port authorities through multiple concession agreements: The case of Cyprus

Port Governance and Cruise Tourism

“…Secondly, there are many references that are cited together in these studies (co-citation), that is, two or more studies are used simultaneously as references for one or more studies (see Figure 3). Although it can be presumed that the common references among the three studies by Pallis et al [80,82,84] explain this, Figure 4 clarifies that there is also a bibliographic coupling (common references) between the studies by Pallis et al [80,82,84] and the other three studies [81,83,85]. Table 2 shows a high presence of institutions mainly from Mediterranean Europe in five articles (Cyprus, Croatia, Italy, and Greece), and Asia in two articles (China and Japan).…”

The arcs between nodes in the relational network show the simultaneous use of these Figure 4 shows the relational graph that links its references to the set of six articles, the thickness of the arcs between nodes indicates the intensity of the relationship, and the size and color of the spheres indicate the total number of cites received by these articles in the Web of Science Core Collection.…”

The connections resulting from the set of references connecting Pallis et al [80,82,84] and the other three articles [81,83,85] are presented in Table 3. The arcs between nodes in the relational network show the simultaneous use of these references, which shows a dense connection between them, by colors (network, blue, and green) the three clusters of references that are densely connected to each other are indicated, and the thickness of the arcs indicates the intensity of the relationship.…”

Port governance revisited: How to govern and for what purpose?

“…In this process, the perspectives derived from the previously collected literature and the authors' own expert insights play an important role. Specifically, since the concession agreement is clearly listed as a port governance tool by Notteboom (2006) and Panayides et al (2017), we decide to include seven papers from the special issue (Volume 39, 2012) of Maritime Policy & Management (MPM) on terminal concessions in seaports, aiming at gaining more understanding of concessions. Moreover, port cooperation is explicitly considered as a governance tool by Knatz (2018).…”

Port Governance: An integrated stakeholder perspective on sustainable port-city development

“…Em diversos países envolvendo atividades de transhipment, por exemplo, os sectores portuários são fortemente dependentes da economia e do comércio global (Song & Lee, 2017), o que leva a recorrer a reformas portuárias, através de alterações legislativas, para restaurar a competitividade internacional nas operações de transhipment (Brooks et al, 2017) ou de constrangimentos financeiros graves do país monitoradas por instituições internacionais (Caldeirinha et al, 2017;Pallis & Vaggelas, 2017;Panavides et al, 2017) com implicações profundas no modelo de governação. Outras condições de reforma resultam da pressão significativa das forças do mercado global ou de opções de financiamento (Knatz, 2017).…”
