Analyzing industrial policy regimes within global production networks: the Ethiopian leather industry
结合全球生产网络框架与发展体制视角,分析国家与全球生产网络的互动关系,并以埃塞俄比亚皮革产业为例,探讨产业政策如何影响企业升级与产业耦合。
Abstract This article contributes to debates on how to broaden and deepen our understanding of the interrelationships between the state and global production networks (GPNs). It proposes that combining the GPN framework and the developmental regime perspective based on a strategic-relational conceptualization of institutions allows for better assessment of the interrelationship between the strategies of (supplier) firms and industrial policy institutions that (re)structure the dynamically changing, interrelated and multiscalar institutional underpinnings of states and GPNs, with important implications for upgrading and coupling processes. Empirically, the article presents a case study of the Ethiopian leather industry.
