ABSTRACT The international trade literature has shown the benefits of the international fragmentation of production for developing countries. However, there are considerations about the hierarchy and control in Global Value Chains (GVCs). Thus, this research aims to evaluate the Brazilian and Chinese international insertion in GVCs by proposing an index about technological sophistication in exports (qtech) by technological intensity for 2005-2015. The results pointed out that the integration in GVCs and technological sophistication have been directed towards technological clusters in which Brazil has revealed comparative advantages, while China has been moving towards technological clusters with dynamic comparative advantages.

The Impact

The article assesses the impact of various factors on the growth rate of international trade. Many experts interpreted the cross-border flows of goods decline against the backdrop of a growing global economy as an alarming sign that indicates a slowdown in the processes of globalization. To determine the reasons for the dynamics of international trade, the decompositions of its growth rate were carried out and allowed to single out the effect of the dollar exchange rate, the commodities prices and global value chains on the change in the volume of trade. As a result, it was discovered that the most part of the dynamics of international trade is due to fluctuations in the exchange rate of the dollar and prices for basic commodity groups. The negative contribution of trade within global value chains in 2014 was also revealed. During the investigated period (2000—2014), such a picture was observed only in the crisis periods, which may indicate the beginning of structural changes in the world trade.

Understanding the development implications of agri-food standards and global value chains is crucial, as they are a fundamental component of developing countries’ growth potential and could increase rural incomes and reduce poverty, but at the same time they present serious challenges and could lead to further marginalization of the poor. This chapter reviews some of the implications of the spread of stringent standards associated with global value chains for developing countries and global poverty reduction. The chapter focuses on five aspects: the interaction between standards and value chain governance; the effects on agricultural productivity and smallholder welfare; farm-level and institutional spillovers; labor market and gender effects; and the interaction between liberalization policies and value chains.

The rise of global value chains (GCVs) has seen the transfer of carbon emissions embodied in every step of international trade. Building a coordinated, inclusive and green GCV can be an effective and efficient way to achieve carbon emissions mitigation targets for countries that participate highly in GCVs. In this paper, we first describe the energy consumption as well as the territorial and consumption-based carbon emissions of Belarus and its regions from 2010 to 2017. The results show that Belarus has a relatively clean energy structure with 75% of Belarus' energy consumption coming from imported natural gas. The ‘chemical, rubber and plastic products' sector has expanded significantly over the past few years; its territorial-based emissions increased 10-fold from 2011 to 2014, with the ‘food processing' sector displaying the largest increase in consumption-based emissions. An analysis of regional emissions accounts shows that there is significant regional heterogeneity in Belarus with Mogilev, Gomel and Vitebsk having more energy-intensive manufacturing industries. We then analysed the changes in Belarus' international trade as well as its emission impacts. The results show that Belarus has changed from a net carbon exporter in 2011 to a net carbon importer in 2014. Countries along the Belt and Road Initiative, such as Russia, China, Ukraine, Poland and Kazakhstan, are the main trading partners and carbon emission importers/exporters for Belarus. ‘Construction’ and ‘chemical, rubber and plastic products' are two major emission-importing sectors in Belarus, while ‘electricity' and ‘ferrous metals' are the primary emission-exporting sectors. Possible low-carbon development pathways are discussed for Belarus through the perspectives of global supply and the value chain.

RESUMOObjetivo: O artigo visa identificar a aparição e a abordagem das CGV (Cadeias Globais de Valor) no âmbito da Organização Mundial do Comércio (OMC), tendo em vista a aparente alteração na plasticidade do comércio internacional e, por consequência, na economia mundial. A globalização nos tempos atuais pode ser compreendida como uma fragmentação da produção, em que o processo produtivo de uma mercadoria (ou serviço) é concebido em etapas, porém, executadas em diversos Estados.Metodologia: A metodologia utilizada é dedutiva com abordagem qualitativa e a pesquisa desenvolve-se por meio de bibliografias.  Resultados: O destaque do principal resultado é a possibilidade de identificar características distintas entre Cadeias de Commodities, passando pela Cadeia de Commodities Global, até se alcançar as Cadeias Globais de Valor. Revela, também, que o avanço das CGV tem-se mostrado positivo, mormente no que tange às repercussões observadas nas políticas comerciais e econômicas dos Estados.Contribuições: Como principal contribuição, o artigo apresenta uma análise do cenário internacional no que tange ao comércio e sua nova forma de transacionar, sobretudo com Estados não desenvolvidos. Partindo-se da análise do CGV e sua relação com a Organização Mundial do Comércio,  a revelação desse emergente modelo foi flagrada, ademais, na insistente inserção dos termos CGV e Global Value Chains nos documentos e relatórios da Organização Mundial do Comércio, especialmente com maior intensidade a partir de 2014.PALAVRAS-CHAVES: Tributo; responsabilidade tributária; terceiros.  ABSTRACTObjective: To identify the appearance and approach of GVCs (Global Value Chains) within the World Trade Organization (WTO), in view of the apparent change in the plasticity of international trade and, consequently, in the world economy. Globalization in the present times can be understood as a fragmentation of production, in which the productive process of a commodity (or service) is conceived in stages, but executed in several States.Methodology: The methodology used is deductive with qualitative approach and the research is developed via bibliographies.Results: The highlight of the main result is the ability to identify distinct characteristics between Commodity Chains, going through the Global Commodity Chain, until reaching Global Value Chains. It also reveals that the advancement of GVCs has been positive, especially regarding the repercussions observed in the commercial and economic policies of the States.Contributions: As the main contribution, the article presents an analysis of the international scenario regarding trade and its new way of trading, especially with undeveloped States. Based on the analysis of the GVC and its relationship with the  World Trade Organization, the revelation of this emerging model was also caught in the insistent insertion of the terms GVC and Global Value Chains in World Trade Organization documents and reports, especially with greater emphasis. Intensity as of 2014.KEYWORDS: Tax; tax liability; third parties.

The objective of our article is to analyze the risks of a new coronavirus pandemic with impact on the dynamics of the modern world economy, as well as to assess the corresponding consequences and risks that will lead to the formation of a new model for organizing interactions in international trade, foreign direct investment and a revision of the determinants of global economic growth. The nature of the impact of the current pandemic on the existing system of international economic relations, in contrast to the previous global crises, is unprecedentedly tough, which has led to a number of contradictions in the development of global value chains, international trade flows, and  the  transformation  of  external  financing  conditions.  The  author  believes  that  the  most important  challenge  of  the  pandemic  is  not  only  the  recovery  of  the  economy  and  economic activity, maintaining the growth rate of labor productivity, but also in preventing the growth of inequality, in shaping the ability to manage global risks and imbalances. The trends towards the localization of international trade and the repatriation of global  value chains act as a risk of a significant slowdown in international exchange, which contradicts the canons and strategies for the development of foreign economic relations  of those countries  that ensured their economic growth by expanding participation in international trade and attracting foreign direct investment. According to the author, a new wave of international economic cooperation between countries can bring a new impetus to the development of international trade, capital movement and the dynamics of economic mobility.
