Content: This book investigates how global value chain governance, public institutions and strategies in the area of industrial policy and industrial relations by stakeholders such as national or global trade unions, governments, companies or international NGOs shape upgrading in the Global South. A special feature is its interdisciplinarity, combining sociological, economic, legal and political dimensions. Case studies systematically compare different industry trajectories. Furthermore, it encompasses far-reaching insights into the role of global value chains for development, economic catching-up of countries and socio-political aspects such as working conditions and interest representation.

    China's leverage of industrial policy to absorb global value chains in emerging industries (2022)
    Details
    UID:
    gbv_179385355X
    ISBN: 9783030873196
    Content: This chapter elaborates on the leverage of industrial policy in the People’s Republic of China (PRC or simply China) to boost economic development in special consideration of global value chains (GVCs) and emerging industries. Industrial policy is an essential component of China’s state capitalist economic system, and it is one of the main drivers for both China’s economic growth and industrial transformation that kick-started in the 1980s. China’s leadership has shown that it is capable of effectively employing means of industrial policy, ranging from artificially created demand to subsidies, to quickly develop and foster newly emerging industries. Drawing on the experience of China's solar panel industry, this chapter explores the patterns of Beijing’s use of tech-focused industrial policy to spur economic upgrading with the example of an emerging industry that is of critical importance to the European economy: new energy vehicle (NEV) batteries.

    Comparing national and industry-specific trajectories of economic and social upgrading as well as various strategic solutions (2022)
    Details

    ISBN: 9783030873196
    Content: This chapter serves to develop a classification of economic and social upgrading trajectories according to the theoretical approach introduced in the first chapter of this book, and to present empirical results according to this framework. Based on this classification and theoretical debate tentative policy recommendations for economic and social upgrading in global value chains (GVCs) are provided. In order to analyse the possibilities and challenges for economic and social upgrading in different industries and countries, a correspondingly open and complex theoretical research strategy is needed. We firstly suggest supplementing the analysis of value chain governance modes with economic approaches on power relations and rent-seeking possibilities in different market forms. Secondly - since the expectations of mainstream economists regarding economic and social upgrading opportunities for countries in the Global South through involvement in GVCs have not materialized - we take the concerns of institutionalists seriously, who underline that upgrading also depends on a country’s capacity to shape the national competitive and labour market situation through a series of political measures such as labour regulation and industrial policy. Therefore, in our interdisciplinary view, GVC approaches should be further integrated into debates on labour power, industrial relations and industrial policy.

    Contemporary globalisation and value systems : what gains for developing countries? (2022)
    Details
    UID:
    gbv_1793809178
    ISBN: 9783030873196
    Content: The focus of this paper is twofold: first, to sketch an analytical framework that may be helpful in underpinning the key conceptual correlates of contemporary Global Value Systems (GVSs), while flagging, very briefly, its historical antecedents and tracking it to its current juncture; second, to reflect on a couple of major economic implications, particularly for developing countries, associated with the current phase of the global production and appropriation regimes, ascendent since the 1970s. There is a large and contentious literature on both these broad themes covering several issues; this paper is neither intended as survey of all the important contributions, nor as an adequate engagement with divergent views in the relevant literature. Rather, our primary objective here is to offer some theoretical reflections from a Marxian political economy perspective, on the above-noted concerns. The first section locates the GVSs within the longue duree of capitalist development; the second section provides a brief overview of the characteristics of contemporary GVSs and its implications for developing countries.

    Economic and social effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the future of global value chains (2022)
    Details
    UID:

    ISBN: 9783030873196
    Content: The COVID-19 crisis is unique in many respects, and as the IMF (World economic outlook April 2021. International Monetary Fund, p. 43, 2021a) puts it: "a crisis like no other." A global economic contraction occurred that was unprecedented in its speed and depth. Support packages were put together in some parts of the world that also dwarfed anything seen up to that point. Also, the massive differences in how countries, sectors, and people were affected by the crisis is unusual in many respects. What is already visible is that national government policies are playing a significant role during the pandemic and its impact on social groups. In this comment, we will briefly assess the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic up to now (July 2021) and discuss possible future trends for the reorganization of global value chains (GVCs). First, we will give an overview of the pandemic’s economic and social effects as well as various policy responses by governments and international organizations. Second, we will discuss the effects of the pandemic on GVCs as well as different scenarios of further restructuring dynamics in GVCs. To conclude, we will argue that although the COVID-19 pandemic might not fundamentally alter the current globalization model, it could serve as a catalyst for already ongoing changes.

    Economic and social upgrading in global value chains : the automotive industry in Brazil (2022)
    Details
    UID:
    gbv_1793820503
    ISBN: 9783030873196
    Content: For over 20 years, the Brazilian economy has faced enormous challenges as a result of neoliberal structural reforms, economic stagnation and external crises, particularly after the Latin American crisis of the late 1990s to early 2000s and after 2014. Deep economic structural changes and fluctuations in the pace of growth profoundly affected Brazilian production and consumption, various sectors of activity, and the social and working conditions of the population. One of the largest and most historically significant industrial sectors in Brazil is the automotive industry. While working conditions in the industry have greatly improved since the beginning of the 2000s, with worsening macroeconomic conditions since 2014 the Brazilian labour movement’s ability to continue achieving an upwards trajectory for workers seems to be under threat. This analysis focuses on the automotive industry as a point of reference to better understand Brazil’s economic development since the late 1990s, the challenges inherent to integration in global value chains (GVCs) and how all of these factors influence working conditions and the ability of organised labour to achieve improvements.

    Embeddedness of power relations in global value chains (2022)
    Details
    UID:
    gbv_1793813159
    ISBN: 9783030873196
    Content: This chapter provides an overview of the literature on power relations in global sourcing which goes beyond the prevalent focus on the dyadic business-to-business relation. The move through the various theories of power leads to my major claim which is that power dynamics in GVCs must be understood in the context of institutions in various fields and at different levels. While economic logic can explain certain patterns of power asymmetries, the power dynamics among actors at particular times and locations will be shaped by the specifics of the context. Therefore, universal claims concerning the character of power relations in global sourcing must be qualified by considerations for definite contexts. The overview applies Steven Luke's ‘three faces of power’ to the agential dimensions of power, the neo-institutionalist’s differentiation of regulative, normative, and cognitive institutions, and neo-Gramscian perspective on the emergence and reproduction of the so-called neoliberal historical bloc which provides the previously mentioned institutions with some sort of coherence.

    Few opportunities for smallholders for upgrading in agricultural value chains (2022)
    Details
    UID:
    gbv_1793848882
    ISBN: 9783030873196
    Content: This chapter presents findings from field studies of smallholders and farmworkers producing coffee, mangoes, and rice in several countries in the global South. It is one of the few comparative studies of the constraints and opportunities for social upgrading in global agricultural value chains (GVCs). We argue that the ease with which new suppliers can be found gives highly concentrated global wholesalers and retailers enormous leverage over smallholders. As a result, opportunities for social upgrading tend to be limited. Even in successful cases, it is accompanied by fewer employment opportunities. Cooperatives, which enjoy government support and enforced labor laws, are an exception. The chapter begins with a discussion of problems in measuring the impact of GVC participation and a theoretical explanation of why economic upgrading is not sufficient to ensure social upgrading. Special attention is given to the role of the state in promoting social upgrading.

    Foxconnisation of automobile manufacturing? : production networks and regimes of production in the electric vehicle industry in china (2022)

    ISBN: 9783030873196
    Content: The digitalization of the automobile, the rapid emergence of new energy cars and of new mobility systems are driving accelerating restructuring of production models and value chains in the global automotive industry. Continuing structural overcapacity in car production, the frequent breakdown of car traffic and the related ecological crisis in megacities around the globe, as well as the continuing emission cheating scandals surrounding major automakers are driving a broad-ranging process of restructuring that puts into question the existing regime of capital accumulation in the global car industry. In addition, the emerging forms of new and shared mobility undermine the model of private ownership as the dominant norm of consumption, on which the growth of the automotive industry had been based since the days of Henry Ford.
