Beschrijving
Trade in global resources has intensified over the last two centuries asindustrializing societies explored new resources in the Global South.
Developing resource networks cemented (neo)colonial interdependencies
and affected economic, social, and environmental developments.
Additionally, science and technological developments opened new
possibilities with unfamiliar resources in industrial processes. This paper
highlights the developments of use- values and exchange-values which have
influenced the construction of transnational trade-networks. It investigates
the plurality of use-values, i.e. the ability to satisfy human needs, by studying
use-value propositions, the attribution of use-values through modern
science practices, and diffusion of use-values through knowledge-politics.
Furthermore, it explores the influence of technological developments in
changing exchange-values, which opened global markets for
interchangeable commodities. The paper presents first insights into research
projects on edible oils and metal production as a lens to investigate these
dynamics, which are crucial to explain trends and shifts in resource trade
flows
