Delves into the modern era of cartels, going beyond the example of petroleum and OPEC to examine the structure of international commodity markets for bauxite, cocoa, coffee, sugar, rubber, and tin, and the conditions that led to the formation of cartels in those markets during the latter half of the 20th century. Focuses on four major aspects of international commodity markets: patterns of production and consumption; economic dislocations to both importers and exporters; the formation of cartels as a solution to weak and variable commodity prices; and effects of tightening raw materials markets. Concludes with discussion of the role of technology in management of commodity markets. The author is associate professor of economics at Fairfield University. Annotation c.
