Abstract
In this paper the author examines the possibilities of developing countries by establishing international commodity agreements and governmental producer associations. He specifically analyses the tin industry and the International Tin Agreement (ITA), and compares it to the bauxite and copper industries.
His main conclusion is that political co-operation between producing countries is a necessary precondition for establishing successful commodity agreements.
