The book delves into the complexities of international freight forwarding, emphasizing the crucial role of freight forwarders as "The Architect of Transport" within multimodal transport chains. It integrates concepts from economic theory and sociology to offer a comprehensive view of the intermediary role in this sector, often overlooked in existing research.
