Bauxite Reserves And Potential Aluminum Resources Of The World

A compilation of the geologic and geographic occurrence of world reserves and potential resources of bauxite, and of potential sources of aluminum in rocks and minerals other than bauxite.

Using 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.
