Paper and the British Empire examines the evolution of the paper
industry within British organisational frameworks and highlights
the role of the Empire as a market and business-making area in a
world of shrinking commerce and rising trade barriers. Drawing on a
valuable range of primary sources, this book covers the period
1861-1960 and examines events from the establishment of free trade
backed by the gold standard to Britain's membership of the European
Free Trade Association. In the field of the paper industry, the
speed and intensity of the industrialisation process around the
globe have been shaped by a wide variety of variables, including
the surrounding institutional framework; entrepreneurial and
organisational strategies; the cost and accessibility of transport;
and the availability of capital, knowledge, energy resources, and
technology. The supply of papermaking raw materials has also been
key and has historically been the most important determinant for
geographical location and dominance. The research in this work
focuses on the roles played by such variants, on the one hand, and
demand characteristics on the other. In particular, it considers
developments connected to a quest for Empire-grown raw materials in
order to tackle the problem of the lack of indigenous raw materials
and the resulting dependence on Scandinavian wood pulp imports.
This text is of considerable interest to advanced students and
researchers in economic history, business history, and the paper
industry, and will also be useful to organisations working within
the pulp and paper industries.
