Abstract
Archaeology and history play a very important role in understanding the development of the contemporary Mediterranean economy. To give an example of ancient Mediterranean Blue economy, this article focuses on the Mediterranean people par excellence in antiquity: the Phoenicians. In fact, the themes of the 2021 Conference (fishery, development of ports, green shipping), along with certain basic concepts of contemporary economy (e.g. networking, globalisation, glocalization, goods and brain circulation, etc.) and sociology (migration, socio-economic gaps, etc.), perfectly fit with the Phoenicians who spread from the Levantine coast as far as the Atlantic coast of modern Portugal.
Keywords: Phoenician archaeology, ancient Mediterranean networking, glocalization.
