TheCompetitivenessofGlobalPortCities:TheCaseofRotterdam/Amsterdam,theNetherlands.ThisworkingpaperoffersanevaluationoftheperformanceoftheportsofRotterdamandAmsterdam,ananalysisofthe impactoftheseportson their territory and an assessment of policies and governance in this field. Itexamines port performance over the last decades and identifies the principalfactors that have contributed to it. The effect of the ports on economic andenvironmental questions is studied and quantified where possible. The valueadded of the port clusters of Rotterdam and Amsterdam is calculated and itsinterlinkages with other economic sectors and regions in the Netherlandsdelineated. The major policies governing the ports are assessed, along with

policies governing transport and economic development, the environment and spatial planning. Theseincludemeasuresinstitutedbytheportauthorities,aswellasbylocal,regionalandnationalgovernments.Governance mechanisms at these different levels are described and analysed. Based on the reportsfindings, recommendationsareproposedwitha view to improvingportperformanceand increasing thepositiveeffectsoftheportsofRotterdamandAmsterdamontheirterritory.
