Mark Straver's PhD research examines how post-war globalization affected the Dutch shipbuilding industry from 1945 to 1983, focusing on the development of global external conditions and the subsequent local strategic responses by shipyards. By understanding the rise and fall of a particular industry, his project takes into account the broader maritime network as well as the role of government intervention. His research connects the development of maritime industries with the resilience of business systems in the context of globalization and the effects of business-government relations. His research is embedded in the Research Centre Modern Maritime History (RCMMH), which is part of a larger project studying the modern maritime history of the Netherlands from 1850 to 2000. Mark Straver holds Master's degrees in History and Finance Financial Law, both from Erasmus University Rotterdam.
