Each chapter includes case studies from different parts of the world, explaining the role played by coal in the expansion of the shipping industry. This book also explores regions usually neglected by the mainstream scholarly literature in this field. The relationship between steam engine technology and imperial expansion, how the emergence of global security was driven by maritime technological revolutions, and the connection between global seaports and the spread of global economic and political systems are also discussed. This book aims to highlight the important role seaports and fuel markets played in the evolution of international commercial flows and activities. Fuelling the World Economy will be useful for historians, economists, and geographers interested in maritime and energy issues, as well as researchers interested in transport and technology. Daniel Castillo Hidalgo is Associate Professor of Economic History at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain, and is widely published on economic and maritime history. He is editor of African Seaports and Maritime Economics in Historical Perspective. Cezar Honorato is Full Professor of Social and Economic History at the University Federal Fluminense, Brazil. He is author of books, chapter in books, and articles in journals of maritime, economic, social, transport and Latin America history
