DOWNLOAD EBOOKAs the key component in aluminum production, bauxite became one of the most important minerals of the last one hundred years. But its effects on people and economies varied broadly – for some it meant jobs, progress, or a political advantage over rival nations but for many others, it meant exploitation, pollution, or the destruction of a way of life. Aluminum Ore explores the often overlooked history of bauxite in the twentieth century, and in doing so examines the forces that shaped the time, from the mineral’s strategic development in the First World War and throughout the Cold War, to its role in the globalization of markets, as companies from the northern hemisphere vied for the resources of the south. In this wide-ranging collection, scholars from around the world consider multiple international perspectives on this history – from Guinea to Nazi Germany to Jamaica – all while examining the central place of one commodity in a time of change.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKUsing aluminum as a detailed case study from which it might be possible to construct a model applicable to other industries, examines the political, economic, social, and environmental aspects of extracting raw material from peripheral countries for processing and use in core countries. Ten papers from a conference in Madison, Wisconsin (no date noted) cover ecology, economy, and raw material industry structures; firm strategies and international competition; establishing control of peripheral resources; and Brazilian resource development and Japanese access strategies.
