Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last two decades have witnessed a dramatic expansion and intensification of mineral resource exploitation and development across the global south, especially in Latin America. This shift has brought mining more visibly into global public debates and spurred a great deal of controversy and conflict. This volume assembles new scholarship that provides critical perspectives on these issues. The book marshals original, empirical work from leading social scientists in a variety of disciplines to address a range of questions about the practices of mining companies on the ground, the impacts of mining on host communities, and the responses to mining from communities, civil society and states. The book further explores the global and international causes, consequences and innovations of this new era of mining activity in Latin America. Key issues include the role of Canadian mining companies and their investment in the region, and, to a lesser extent, the role of Chinese mining capital. Several chapters take a regional perspective, while others are based on empirical data from specific countries including Bolivia, Brazil, El Salvador, Guatemala and Peru.

Download or read book A History of Mining in Latin America written by Kendall W. Brown and published by UNM Press. This book was released on 2012-03-16 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For twenty-five years, Kendall Brown studied Potosí, Spanish America's greatest silver producer and perhaps the world's most famous mining district. He read about the flood of silver that flowed from its Cerro Rico and learned of the toil of its miners. Potosí symbolized fabulous wealth and unbelievable suffering. New World bullion stimulated the formation of the first world economy but at the same time it had profound consequences for labor, as mine operators and refiners resorted to extreme forms of coercion to secure workers. In many cases the environment also suffered devastating harm. All of this occurred in the name of wealth for individual entrepreneurs, companies, and the ruling states. Yet the question remains of how much economic development mining managed to produce in Latin America and what were its social and ecological consequences. Brown's focus on the legendary mines at Potosí and comparison of its operations to those of other mines in Latin America is a well-written and accessible study that is the first to span the colonial era to the present.

Download or read book The mineral industries of Latin America written by Steven Mitchell Taylor and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin America produces large volumes of a wide range of mineral commodities to the United States, Japan, and Western Europe. Latin American countries consistently rank among the United States' largest sources of mineral imports. The United States imports over thirty different mineral commodities from this area. The level of mineral development varies widely among the countries of this region. The principal factors responsible for this are the quality of infrastructure, the resource endowment, historical role of multinational corporations in mineral development, foreign loans, the level of State-ownership of mining companies and political and economic stability. Of these, the first three are the most important. The use of protectionist policies to promote mineral development is another important consideration. Politically-stable countries, such as Mexico and Brazil, tend to have more developed mining industries. The minerals industries of Latin America face numerous challenges in the 1980's. In addition to the problems created by the world recession and low commodity prices ore-grades are falling at mines throughout the region. Historically high interest rates have further compounded the serious foreign debt problems of Brazil, Mexico, Chile, and Venezuela, and others. Analysis of past and present mineral production and trade of these countries reveals several trends that will alter the level of their mineral exports to western industrialized countries. Latin American countries are diversifying the composition and destinations of their mineral exports. Rapidly expanding steel industries in Brazil and Mexico will consume a portion of their iron ore, manganese, and fluorspar production, now available for export. Increases in the domestic processing of minerals will have serious implications for the mineral processing industries in the industrialized countries. Latin America will play a more important role in the world mineral economy as new projects in the region reach full productive capacity in the mid-to late- 1980's. Peru and Chile presently have the most favorable climates for foreign investment in the region. Recent liberalizations of their mining laws have increased foreign companies' interest in investing in their mining industries. Large foreign debts, and the lack of infrastructure, will continue to limit foreign investment and mineral development in Bolivia, Brazil, and Mexico. Mineral development in the region's minor mineral-producing countries will be very limited in the 1980's. Latin American countries have been the major suppliers of strategic minerals to the United States in previous wars and international conflicts. Political instability in southern Africa and the Middle East increases the importance of Latin America's mineral and energy resources to the United States. Latin American countries will continue to supply large shares of the United States' requirements of a number of minerals.
