| Résumé anglais |
The expression “rare earth crisis” was used by a collection of
actors in the United States, Europe and Japan to describe the situation created
by the 2010-2011 surge in the global market prices of 17 metals occupying a
strategic place in many industrial sectors and the fear that supplies would be
disrupted following China's adoption of export quotas. Yet this crisis – described
both as a trade crisis and a geopolitical one – concealed a financial operation
and major damage to the environment. This article adopts several perspectives
to study what may be described as “interwoven crises”, paying special heed to J.
Roitman and M. Dobry's call to be attentive to the processes by which crises are
labelled in addition to their dynamics and effects. Analysis is further enhanced by
extending the timeframe of the analyzed circumstances, thus providing a better
grasp of their longer-term dynamics and re-situating these critical situations in
their temporal and spatial contexts. Source : Éditeur (via Cairn.info) |
