Digital Port Exposure in China's Maritime Connectivity
Pacific Focus, EarlyView.ABSTRACT China's maritime infrastructure expansion is usually analyzed through finance, ownership, location, and dual‐use potential. This article shifts attention to the digital systems through which ports now operate. It develops the concept of digital port exposure to describe how foreign‐linked digital systems become embedded in port operations ...

How to optimise tournament draws: The case of the FIFA World Cup
International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, Page 791-821, March 2027.Abstract The organisers of major sports competitions use different policies with respect to constraints in the group draw. Our paper aims to rationalise these choices by analysing the trade‐off between attractiveness (the number of games played by teams from the same geographic zone) and fairness (the departure of the draw mechanism from a uniform ...
