摘要

"建设集团 "以炼钢所需的战略矿物为中心,描绘了全球化最后一次大危机--从19世纪80年代到20世纪40年代的跨战争年代--的全球历史。人们对钨和锰等合金矿产的研究很少,但这些矿产却至关重要,虽然它们的需求量很小,但它们却是国家繁荣和安全的基础:钢铁和军工生产。这就产生了一个根本性的问题:没有一个工业强国在国内拥有足够的这些矿藏,它们都集中在印度中部、高加索、中国南部、巴西丛林、澳大利亚内陆和非洲南部等偏远地区。在这个钢铁就是力量的世界里,"建立集团 "表明,对资源的焦虑促使人们在战时以自成一体的集团形式寻求自给自足和自治。对战略矿产的争夺加剧了紧张局势,将对手推上战争之路,在整个跨战争时期重塑了地缘政治实体和国际机构的形式与结构。

Building Blocs: Raw Materials and the Global Economy in the Age of Disequilibrium
“Building Blocs” charts a global history of the last great crisis of globalization—the transwar decades from the 1880s through the 1940s—by centering strategic minerals needed to make steel. Little studied, but critically important, alloying minerals like tungsten and manganese were only needed in small amounts, but they were essential to the foundations of both national prosperity and security: steel and military production. Herein lay a fundamental problem: none of the industrial powers possessed adequate domestic deposits of these minerals, which were concentrated in remote locations such as central India, the Caucasus, southern China, Brazilian jungles, the Australian outback, and southern Africa. In a world in which steel was power, “Building Blocs” shows that resource anxieties motivated interwar quests for autarky and autonomy in the form of self-contained blocs. The scramble for strategic minerals escalated tensions and put rivals on the road to war, reshaping the forms and structures of geopolitical entities and international institutions throughout the transwar period.
