In April 1956, a refitted oil tanker carried fifty-eight shipping containers from Newark to Houston. From that modest beginning, container shipping developed into a huge industry that made the boom in global trade possible. The Box tells the dramatic story of the container's creation, the decade of struggle before it was widely adopted, and the sweeping economic consequences of the sharp fall in transportation costs that containerization brought about. But the container didn't just happen. Its adoption required huge sums of money, both from private investors and from ports that aspired to be on the leading edge of a new technology. It required years of high-stakes bargaining with two of the titans of organized labor, Harry Bridges and Teddy Gleason, as well as delicate negotiations on standards that made it possible for almost any container to travel on any truck or train or ship. Ultimately, it took McLean's success in supplying U.S. forces in Vietnam to persuade the world of the container's potential. Drawing on previously neglected sources, economist Marc Levinson shows how the container transformed economic geography, devastating traditional ports such as New York and London and fueling the growth of previously obscure ones, such as Oakland. By making shipping so cheap that industry could locate factories far from its customers, the container paved the way for Asia to become the world's workshop and brought consumers a previously unimaginable variety of low-cost products from around the globe.

Cet ouvrage vous fera découvrir le passé, le présent et l'avenir de l'institution phare de la communauté douanière internationale : l'Organisation mondiale des douanes (OMD). Notre objectif est de vous présenter de manière complète, ordonnée et synthétique, les énormes contributions de cette institution prestigieuse et reconnue à la croissance sécurisée du commerce extérieur mondial. Lors de l'élaboration du texte, une attention particulière a été accordée aux instruments pertinents pour le travail quotidien de la douane qui constituent les navires phares de l'OMD (la Convention sur le Système harmonisé, la Convention de Kyoto révisée, le Cadre de normes SAFE, entre autres) ainsi qu'aux questions qui présentent actuellement un intérêt particulier pour la communauté douanière mondiale (le commerce électronique transfrontalier, la facilitation des échanges, l'agenda de l'avenir des douanes, pour n'en citer que quelques-unes), en cherchant à concilier les divers aspects pratiques des opérations douanières avec leurs fondements théoriques. En résumé, ces pages seront d'un grand intérêt pour tous les opérateurs du commerce extérieur ; en particulier, les fonctionnaires douaniers, les courtiers en douane (ou agents douaniers), les transitaires et agents de transport international, les responsables d'entreprises importatrices et exportatrices, ainsi que pour toutes les personnes (professionnels et étudiants) qui souhaitent approfondir leurs connaissances du monde passionnant de la douane et du commerce international.
