Conclusions.This book deals with the consequences of the inclusion of African states and communities in the global aluminium chain. The so-called “New Scramble for Africa” of the 2000s illustrated how seriously African living conditions are affected by continuous cycles of boom and bust, and how strongly the quality of life currently depends on the investment decisions and corporate social responsibility policies of transnational corporations. Taking the example of the global production network of bauxite and aluminium, the author focuses on the socio-political aspects of this dependency, which he achieves through the conducting of a series of interviews with various involved parties.International Political Economy Series,2662-2483Political economyAfrica—Politics and governmentEconomic developmentGlobalizationDevelopment economicsPolitical sociologyInternational Political Economyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912140African Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911090Regional Developmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/913050Globalizationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912030Development Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000Political Sociologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22170Political economy.Africa—Politics and government.Economic development.Globalization.Development economics.Political sociology.International Political Economy.African Politics.Regional Development.Globalization.Development Economics.Political Sociology.338.274926Knierzinger Johannesauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut960393BOOK9910300498103321Bauxite Mining in Africa2177102UNINA
