Labour Relations

<strong></strong>It is widely recognised that labour has been downplayed in the literature on global value chains (GVCs) and global production networks (GPNs). While several scholars have tried to bring labour ‘back in’ to GVC research, others suggest this agenda does not go far enough and fails to challenge mainstream political and economic assumptions. This paper takes its cue from claims that labour is ‘co-constitutive’ in the development of GVCs/GPNs, using a case study of India’s rapidly-growing automotive industry. It goes further in arguing for a greater focus on capitalist subjectivity in the structure and organisation of GVCs. While the growing dialogue between global labour studies and GVC scholarship has emphasised labour subjectivity, there has been a tendency to underestimate the role of capital.

Production Value

Currently, in Russia there is a need for inclusion of Russian companies in the global value chains. The international alliances created in the automotive industry are able to influence this situation to a certain extent. Increasing the level of localization of such enterprises is a possible solution to the problem of production value chains formation. The aim of this research is to compare the level of production localization of automotive industry enterprises in Russia. The main research methods are comparison, analysis and synthesis of the obtained information. The authors analyzed the degree of localization of the largest automobile enterprises included in international alliances.

The Relationship

The increasingly interconnected nature of global commerce has caused dramatic structural transformation. Global value chains (GVCs) are crucial to understanding the resulting consequences, including the possibilities available today for a country's economic success. Law plays a central role. In this article, we explore GVC upgrading in Africa, focusing on the mining sector in Zambia. We outline three impediments to Zambia's upgrading capacity within the copper-mining GVC and conclude with three policy suggestions that could improve Zambia's position. By shedding light on the relationship between law, development and global value chains, the article provides beneficial insight to Zambia and across Africa.
