On the complementary (rather than opposing) forces that interact to form a dynamic port governance system, in which the whole is greater than the assembled parts, was dedicated the presentation of PortEconomics member and co-director Theo Notteboom during the Jean Monnet Symposium on the future of the European Port Policy, that was held in Chios, Greece.
Using a Chinese metaphor, Theo discusses the “Yin and Yang of seaport governance”, and discussed them during the Jean Monnet Round-Table: Towards a better Port Governance.
Theo was joined at the panel by Matthew Baldwin, Deputy Director General of DG-Move, European Commission, Isabelle Ryckbost, Secretary General of European Sea Ports Organisation (ESPO), Lamia Kerdjoudj Belkaid, Secretary General of Federation of Private Port Operators (FEPORT) and Livia Spera, Political Secretary of European Transport Workers Federation (ETF) who focuses on all forces- institutional, port authorities, port operators and port labour- that form the european port governance developments.
