Global Value Chains in economic development

Hansjörg Herr, Petra Dünhaupt | 2019

 

Abstract: 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.

Key words: Global Value Chains, Under-development, Rent-seeking, Industrial Policy

Global Social Theory is a large wiki-like project by Gurminder K Bhambra. Its central aim is decolonising and diversifying universities, production of knowledge, and social thought in general. It represents a large online library divided into three parts: concepts, thinkers, and topics in/of social theory and decolonial thought. Every part comprises of short, introductory articles on an according theme. It may be helpful to give you a general overview (and a list of basic readings) on the most essential areas of social theory: caste, class, and race; civil society; racism; secularism; feminism and many others. It may also allow students whose university curriculum in sociology, economics, or other social sciences lacks diversity to compensate for that. Level: początkujący Global Social Theory Multiple academic authors: professors, researchers, and lecturers. globalsocialtheory.org The workshop introduces into the field of critical political economy and tries to identify the role of finacial markets in capitalism, the reason for financial crises and the relevance of Marx in regard to these topics. 2018 Level: początkujący Marxian Political Economy Jannis Eicker and Anil Shah 2. Summer Academy for Pluralist Economics This chapter by the Centre of Economy Studies provides a map through the complex jungle of economic theories.

Daraus erwachsen demokratiezersetzenden und autoritäre Bewegungen. Ein Beitrag von Eva Groß, Andreas Hövermann und Amelie Nickel. 2024 Level: początkujący Das unternehmerische Selbst in der Krise Eva Groß, Andreas Hövermann und Amelie Nickel Economists for Future Der Politologe Ingo Stützle bemüht sich um eine marxistische Kritik an der Modern Monetary Theory. Zwar stellt er einige valide Kritikpunkt heraus – etwa die mangelnde Berücksichtigung von Machtverhältnissen. Doch ist seine Gegendarstellung kaum weniger machtblind. Eine Kritik von Malte Kornfeld. 2024 Level: zaawansowane MMT-Kritik unter Vorbehalt Malte Kornfeld Makroskop It is fiercely debated when exactly the growth set off and what the drivers of Indian growth were. Scott Alexander summarises some of the recent literature on this question, demonstrating that not only the liberalisation policies of the 90s might be the driver of the take-off, but potentially public investments, political developments or cultural shifts. 2019 Level: początkujący Indian Economic Reform: Much More Than You Wanted To Know Scott Alexander Slate Star Codex
