The Governance of Global Value Chains and the Effects of the Global Financial Crisis Transmitted to Producers in Africa and Asia
用全球价值链方法追踪2008年全球金融危机通过贸易传导至非洲和亚洲低收入生产者的效应,探讨不同价值链治理结构如何决定生产者对外部冲击的脆弱性。
Abstract This article uses a global value chain (GVC) approach to trace the effects of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) transmitted to low income producers in Africa and Asia through trade. It explores how the governance structures associated with different types of GVC determined producers' vulnerability to the exogenous trade shock of 2008. It contextualises the GVC concept of governance with regards to specific country case studies. This is through elaboration of the links between internal GVC governance structures to firms, with external structures, negotiated by governments. These modalities are shown to have resulted in differentiated effects of the GFC being transmitted to producers.
