In contrast to traditional research that is limited to individual maritime clusters, a holistic perspective is employed in this study to investigate the global hierarchy of maritime clusters. To conceptualize the global hierarchical stability of maritime clusters, Porter's diamond model is used to develop a general analytical framework and both empirical and theoretical analyses are conducted. The results of empirical analyses indicate that the global hierarchy of maritime clusters tends to remain stable. And the following conceptual discussions attribute such stability to historical effects, weakening prerequisite effects, and game effects. Further theoretical analysis reveals that governance restructuring, a novel innovation type, can disrupt the global hierarchical stability of maritime clusters and facilitate the leapfrog development of emerging maritime clusters.

与仅限于单个海洋集群的传统研究不同，本研究采用整体视角来研究海洋集群的全球层次结构。为了概念化海洋集群的全球层次稳定性，波特的钻石模型被用来开发一个通用的分析框架，并进行了实证和理论分析。实证分析的结果表明，全球海洋集群的层次结构趋于稳定。以下概念性讨论将这种稳定性归因于历史效应、削弱先决条件和游戏效应。进一步的理论分析表明，治理重组是一种新的创新类型，
