This thesis seeks to understand the causal factors of deindustrialization in the steel industry during the late twentieth century and uses the former Atlantic Steel Company mill in Atlanta, Georgia as a case study. Using company records and secondary sources from a variety of social science disciplines, I explore the roles of neoliberalism, government foreign and domestic policies, and the world economic crisis of 1973 to reassess contemporary understanding of the concept of deindustrialization.

As a whole the steel industry in Taiwan has become relatively mature from a highly growing industry in the past till facing slow down in demand recently. Its growing rate has been decreasing gradually. During the past two years, the growth was decreasing following the saturation of the domestic market. On the other hand, the Mainland China has a strong demand on steel due to its rapid economic development, and has become an important export market for the steel industry in Taiwan. The strong demand from the rapid growing China market can absorb the extra production capacity of the downstream steel industry in Taiwan which is facing a bottleneck in the domestic market. The present study is aimed to research the following issues: 1. Strategy and competitiveness of steel industry in Taiwan; and 2. Taiwan steel companies¡¦ investment in China. The main conclusion obtained I the present study includes: 1. Shareholders structure of steel companies in Taiwan has affected decision making for investment in China. 2. The domestic market for steel in Taiwan has been saturated. 3. China is an opportunity for Taiwan steel industry. 4.Taiwan steel industry invested a lot and built steel mills in China, mostly during 2002 and 2003.

<p> The major emphasis of this paper is to examine technological changes in the steel industry and how these effect employment. The hypothesis is that, "technological changes have contributed significantly to unemployment in the steel industry." The history of the steel industry in Canada is examined. Trends in production, consumption and employment are studied. All are found to be declining in Canada. A regression analysis shows technology to be a significant factor affecting production efficiency in western countries. Data from Canada, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States for the years 1964 to 1982 are used in the regression. More efficient production means lower employment for a given amount of output. The hypothesis is accepted because employment is proven to be lowered as new technology is implemented.</p> / Thesis / Candidate in Philosophy
