Special Issue on: "Logistics and Maritime Studies on One Belt One Road"


Guest Editors:
Achim Czerny and Meifeng Luo, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong


The blueprint of the One Belt One Road (OBOR) initiative is to connect the vibrant East Asian economic circle and the developed European economic circle and encompass all of the countries that have significant potential for economic development. One of the key objectives of the OBOR initiative is to increase connectivity and economic development along both the land-based and oceangoing routes through the movement of goods, services, information, and people.

This special issue will provide a forum to address the various issues associated with the OBOR initiative from the perspective of logistics and maritime studies. It will also serve as a platform to facilitate international research and industrial collaboration to examine the multifaceted issues related to the OBOR.

The issue will carry revised and substantially extended versions of selected papers presented at the One Belt One Road (OBOR2016) , but we also strongly encourage authors unable to participate in the conference to submit articles for this call.
