Global Value Chains (GVCs) started to play an increasing and key role in the global economy from the 1990s on. The market mechanism in GVCs supports industrialisation in the Global South and under certain conditions product and process upgrading. But GVCs do not lead to the catching-up of countries in the sense of them approaching real GDP per capita levels comparable with developed countries. These arguments are supported by a critical interpretation of the traditional trade theory, the New Trade Theory and specific approaches to explain GVCs, especially different governance structures and power relationships. Several case studies support these arguments. For catching-up, countries need comprehensive horizontal and vertical industrial policy and policies for social coherence. The small number of countries which managed to catch up did this in different variations. Level: beginner Global Value Chains in economic development   Institute for International Political Economy Berlin Oft wird so getan, als wenn es für den Kampf gegen den Klimawandel „nur“ einer Transformation des bisherigen Wirtschaftens bedarf.

Bates & Jenkins explain what is needed to equip students with the ability to critically reflect on learned content and understand meta-discussions in their field. 2007 Level: advanced Teaching and Learning Ontology and Epistemology in Political Science Stephen R. Bates and Laura Jenkins Political Studies Association In this short Video Silke Helfrich discusses the basics of commons. It’s an introduction into the essence of commons from a perspective stemming from outside the economic discipline that focuses on social practice. Her perception challenges the economic mainstream’s perception of common goods and goes beyond a purely materialistic conceptualisation of commons. 2014 Level: beginner The Basics of Commons Silke Helfrich Leuphana Digital School
