Vapaasatamat ovat maailmanlaajuisesti yhä yleisempi järjestely tavoitella talouskasvua. Vapaasatamien hyödyllisyydestä ollaan tutkimuskirjallisuudessa ja päätöksenteon tasolla verrattain yksimielisiä huolimatta siitä, että kokeilujen lopputulokset harvoin täyttävät niille asetettuja tavoitteita. Vapaasatamia koskevassa talous- ja kauppatieteellisessä kir jallisuudessa poliittisuuden näkökulma on jäänyt paitsioon. Tämä artikkeli esittää, että vapaasatamia on syytä tutkia ennen kaikkea poliittisena ilmiönä. Tähän pyrkien artikkeli esittelee poliittisen talouden typologian vapaasatamille. Typologia tuo yhteen vapaasatamia ja niiden erilaisia muotoja koskevan relevantin tutkimuksen koostaen erilliset tutkimushaarat yhdeksi kokonaisuudeksi. Artikkeli pyrkii edistämään vapaasatamien tarkastelua valtioiden suvereniteettia murtavana ja ohittavana poliittisen vallankäytön välineenä. Vapaasatamien poliittisen talouden typologian kautta vapaasatamat näyttäytyvät laajana monikansallisten yritysten ja maailman superrikkaiden vallankäytön työkaluna. Tämä haastaa näkemystä vapaasatamista epäpoliittisina taloudellisina järjestelyinä.
