This new collection presents the very latest research on commodity prices and economic development, in the context of a changing globalised economy.
The chapters explore a number of current perspectives on medium term commodity price developments, focussing on ongoing structural transformations. Beginning with an exploration of long term commodity trends and general commodity characteristics, the book goes on to present in-depth studies of particular markets. Case studies are taken from a diverse range of countries and regions, and examine key fuel and non-fuel commodity markets. The book closes by addressing the crucial issues of energy security and embedded energy.
The book will be of great relevance to all those with an interest in development economics, international economics and energy markets.
