Zur internationalen Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der Metallhütten in der Gemeinschaft Unabhängiger Staaten (

The specialized book "On the International Competitiveness of Metal Smelters in the Commonwealth of Independent States" offers a comprehensive analysis of the metallic raw material markets following the dissolution of the USSR. It examines the unexpectedly high exports from the successor states and their impact on global markets, particularly concerning supply surpluses and price declines. Commissioned by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs, the German Institute for Economic Research has conducted a detailed investigation into the background of this export offensive. The authors highlight the development of the USSR into one of the largest raw material producers and the changes in demand that led to a significant increase in exports of aluminum, chromium, nickel, and copper. The book provides valuable insights into the economic and political conditions that influenced these developments, making it an important resource for professionals and those interested in the fields of economics and law.
