The Soviet Iron and Steel Industry
In this empirically based study, ZumBrunnen and Osleeb present a current, comprehensive, and in-depth view of Soviet heavy industry capacity and suggest that significant changes in production locations and manufacturing efficiency levels are warranted. Using a mathematical model to analyze the optimal locations for Soviet iron and steel production, they predict probable shifts in industry locations, output, and processes at both existing locations and future centers up to the year 1990.
Soviet Natural Resources in the World Economy
Russia is a huge storehouse of natural resources, including oil, gas, and other energy sources, which she can trade with the rest of the world for advanced technology and wheat. In this book, leading experts evaluate the Soviet potential in major energy and industrial raw materials, giving special attention to implications for the world economy to the end of the twentieth century. The authors examine the mineral and forest resources that the Soviet Union has developed and may yet develop to provide exports during the 1980s. They discuss the regional dimension of these resources, especially in Siberia and the Soviet Far East; individual mineral raw materials, such as petroleum, natural gas, timber, iron ore, manganese, and gold; and finally the role of raw materials in Soviet foreign trade. The authors, representing the United States, Canada, and Great Britain, are primarily geographers, but they include economists, political scientists, and a geologist. Their work is based on primary sources (for most of these reports, current information is no longer being released to researchers) and on interviews with Soviet officials.
