For most of the twentieth century, tin was the site of new forms of
international regulation which became a model for other
commodities. The onset of the depression of the 1930s saw a
collapse in commodity prices, and governments of tin producing
countries decided to form a cartel to return the industry to
comparative prosperity. This is a detailed study of how the tin
industry found itself in difficulty and how the cartel developed
its policies of control over production and stocks, together with
its enduring legacy after World War II. This study of a cartel
brings together two levels of analysis that are normally kept
separate; international cooperation, and national organization, and
demonstrates how each affected the other. It is based on a
comprehensive review of a wide range of archival sources which are
sufficiently rich and frank that they provide an insider's sense of
how a cartel actually worked.
