Development Trajectories in Global Value Chains
Globalization is characterized by the outsourcing of production tasks and services across
borders, and the increasing organization of production and trade through global value chains
(GVCs), global commodity chains (GCCs), and global production networks (GPNs). With
a large and growing literature on GVCs, GCCs, and GPNs, this series is distinguished
by its focus on the implications of these new production systems for economic, social, and
regional development.
This series publishes a wide range of theoretical, methodological, and empirical
works, both research monographs and edited volumes, dealing with crucial issues of
transformation in the global economy. How do GVCs change the ways in which lead
firms and suppliers shape regional and international economies How do they affect local
and regional development trajectories, and what implications do they have for workers and
their communities How is the organization of value chains changing and how are these
emerging forms contested How does the large-scale entry of women into value-chain
production impact gender relations What opportunities and limits do GVCs create for
economic and social upgrading and innovation In what ways are GVCs changing the
nature of work and the role of labor in the global economy And how might the increasing
focus on logistics management, financialization, and social standards and compliance shape
the structure of regional economies
This series includes contributions from all disciplines and interdisciplinary fields related
to GVC analysis and is particularly supportive of theoretically innovative and informed
works grounded in development research. Through their focus on changing organizational
forms, governance systems, and production relations, volumes in this series contribute to
on-going conversations about development theories and policy in the contemporary era
of globalization.
