Conclusions. 330 $aThis book deals with the consequences of the inclusion of African states and communities in the global aluminium chain. The so-called "New Scramble for Africa" of the 2000s illustrated how seriously African living conditions are affected by continuous cycles of boom and bust, and how strongly the quality of life currently depends on the investment decisions and corporate social responsibility policies of transnational corporations. Taking the example of the global production network of bauxite and aluminium, the author focuses on the socio-political aspects of this dependency, which he achieves through the conducting of a series of interviews with various involved parties. 410 0$aInternational Political Economy Series,$x2662-2491 606 $aInternational economic relations 606 $aAfrica$xPolitics and government 606 $aRegionalism 606 $aGlobalization 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aPolitical sociology 606 $aInternational Political Economy' 606 $aAfrican Politics 606 $aRegionalism 606 $aGlobalization 606 $aDevelopment Economics 606 $aPolitical Sociology 615 0$aInternational economic relations. 615 0$aAfrica$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aRegionalism. 615 0$aGlobalization. 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 0$aPolitical sociology. 615 14$aInternational Political Economy'. 615 24$aAfrican Politics. 615 24$aRegionalism. 615 24$aGlobalization. 615 24$aDevelopment Economics. 615 24$aPolitical Sociology. 676 $a338.274926 700 $aKnierzinger$b Johannes$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0960393 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300498103321 996 $aBauxite Mining in Africa$92177102 997 $aUNINA
