In the context of the developing global economic crisis, it is important to have an adequate methodological toolkit for the global positioning of the manufacturing industry in different countries of the world in the production value chains. In this work, the authors made an attempt to further develop their own concept that solves this problem. A methodology for calculating indices reflecting the dynamics of national industrial competence “in the context” of the integration of the country’s manufacturing industries into global value chains is presented. The calculations and conclusions are based on the OECD TiVA statistical database (2018). The tendencies of industrial development of thirty economies of the world, including the Russian one, were identified, taking into account their “embedding” in global value chains. So, if the manufacturing industry of Russia, participating in the international division of labor, manages to maintain an average level of general national industrial competence, then its strategic positions associated with the development of high-tech industries can be qualified as “outsider”. The author’s methodology seems promising in terms of assessing the global economic positioning of countries and formulating recommendations for national regulators of manufacturing activity.

The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (2016) calls for resources for the implementation of the Action Plan for Accelerated Industrial Development in Africa, and states that: “Industrialization is essential for African countries as a means of increasing income, creating jobs, developing value-added activities and diversifying economies”. The United Nations Development Program (UNDP), the African Development Bank (AFDB), and the Organization for Cooperation and Economics Development (OCED, 2014, p. 16) explain the benefits to African countries’ participation in Global Value Chains (GVC) to industrialize without having to implement all stages of the chain. They add that the acquisition of new production capacities can allow countries and companies to move upmarket, which is to say to increase their share of value added in a GVC. But the opposite is the case, at least in some countries like Burkina Faso. We are witnessing a “specialization of primary products (cotton and non-monetary gold), to the detriment of manufacturing industry with high potential for multiplier effects on local economies” National Plan for Economic and Social Development of Burkina Faso (PNDES, 2017, p.12). Cusolito and al. (2016) mention that overcoming a series of obstacles (such as bad policies and governance, insufficient technology and skills) is the way to actively participate in GVCs. Yet OPEN it is these same obstacles that have always prevented the industrialization of Sub-Saharan Africa (excluding South Africa). The results show that the Global Value Chains (GVC) contribute to the creation of added value in developing countries what has an effect on industrialization

The article examines the indicators of foreign trade of individual countries of the world; substantiates the directions of reducing the dependence of national exports on commodity prices on world markets; clarifies the development trends of trade and economic relations of Ukraine with countries of the world; examines the direction of expanding the national export potential. Object of research – the process of economic security in international relations. Purpose of study – improving efficiency of the mechanism of activization of development of the trade and economic relations of Ukraine with the countries of the world. Methods of research – method of abstracting, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, system approach. One of the main prerequisites for the effective functioning of the national economy, the key to its dynamic development is the expansion of export potential. Accordingly, the strategic objective is the largescale growth of Ukraine’s presence in foreign markets. The partial or complete loss of traditional markets reinforces the need to find effective solutions for the development of exports of Ukrainian products. The presence of Ukraine in the global production network has increased significantly over the past ten years, but still remains insufficient. For the active inclusion in the global value chains, it is necessary to change the commodity structure of Ukrainian exports and switch to the production of medium and high-tech products. Forecast assumptions about the object of study – improvement of the mechanism of ensuring economic security in international relations.

The purpose of the article is to assess the involvement of industries in global value chains and determine the prospects for intensification of these processes. The research methods are statistical analysis, comparison, graphical analysis. The role of export volumes of high value-added products, their enclosing in global value chains is determined. A methodical approach to assessing the involvement of industries in global value chains is proposed, allowing to detect the state of the country’s involvement in the international distribution of labour in concordance with specific industries. The analysis of the structure of exports of industries on the example of Ukraine is carried out. the industries that have a significant export share both in the total exports and in the structure of production output are determined. The leading indicators of the country’s involvement in global value chains are computed, as follows: the national added value in the country’s exports by industries, the contribution of specific industry sectors of the economy to the national added value of gross exports, the share of the national added value in exports of industries in the total national added value of gross exports. The positioning of industries within the coordinate system «share in the export structure - share of the national added value in exports» is carried out. It is determined that the share of national added value in exports of extractive industries of Ukraine is higher compared to the average of the world countries in this research. At the same time, being lower in the industries of the manufacturing industry, thus justifying the virtual absence of knowledge-intensive and innovative stages of production of the manufacturing industry, which necessitates a deeper specialization in the exports of low-grade products. The directions of a rational integration of the Ukrainian economy into global value chains are substantiated. The measures to be assumed on the part of the government policy to intensify the involvement of Ukrainian producers in global value chains are proposed.

Under the backdrop of the continuous escalation of the Sino—U.S. trade friction, China's industrial development environment in global value chains (GVCs) has further deteriorated, research on the improvement GVC status of the Chinese manufacturing industry has become the focus of attention for industry and academia. The direction of R&D inputs are of utmost importance to the improvement of GVC status. However, comparatively little attention has been paid to this topic in existing studies. Following the production activity decomposition framework and combining with the World Input-Output Tables, the action mechanism of R&D inputs on GVC status from two aspects of industrial value-added and embedding position were analyzed, the moderating effect of digital servitization was demonstrated. Results show that: The input of applied research has inverted U-shaped influence on the industrial value-added, while it has U-shaped influence on embedding position; The input of basic research has U-shaped influence on the industrial value-added, while it has inverted U-shaped influence on embedding position; The moderating effect of digital servitization between R&D inputs and GVC status is significant, in the short term, the digital servitization can not only magnify the promotion effect of the applied research inputs on GVC status, but also shorten the lag period of basic research inputs on GVC status. In the long run, the digital servitization can not only weaken the marginalization trend of the applied research inputs on GVC status, but also enhance the positive feedback effect of basic research inputs on GVC status. This study is important for China to improve the GVC status.

Currently, it is not individual enterprises that compete in the global market of industrial goods, but value chains. Within their framework, technological and production interfaces, diversification of demand markets, and optimization of business processes contribute to a sharp increase in the competitiveness of enterprises. The existing measures to support the development of industry do not confirm their effectiveness based on the results of work. To improve the system of support measures, the following steps are proposed: value chains should become the main tool for implementing the state’s industrial policy, measures for technological re-equipment based on intersectoral interaction of enterprises of high-tech and medium-tech industries should be implemented, as well as development institutions alternative to the banking sector should be formed. When implementing the proposed state support measures, the conditions for the sustainable development of the manufacturing industry in Russia are formed.

The article explores the key issues tied to Russia’s participating in global value chains under constraints in national economic development and business. Specificities of Russian economy and Russian sectoral specialization, which includes export-oriented production and increased demand in Russian energy resources, natural resources, oil extraction industry and other extraction and manufacturing industry products among overseas producers and consumers in the world market, play a significant role as crucial reasons for Russia’s deeper engagement in the process of creating added value. Russia possesses a certain set of potential in taking advantageous positions in the global chains and is capable to deliver a set of benefits that create opportunities for improvement in the country’s current participation in international production. In reality, the Russian manufacturers aren’t sufficiently advantageous in global value chains and their engagement in the sphere of international cooperation within global value chains isn’t effective due to regulatory restrictions and the fact that Russian economy lags behind developed economies. There have been defined the features of Russian economy and business, the weak points, key differences from other countries that participate in the global value chains and key indicators of Russia’s engagement in global value chains. Within the defined major issues that prevent Russia from engaging in global value chains effectively, the state plans to eliminate issues and measures to implement these plans and strategies for improvement in the positions and ways of integration of the country were examined. In conclusion there were formulated the possible ways of improving the position of Russia in the global value chains, based on the reviewed problems and constraints in national entrepreneurship, state support system and conditions of international trade

The place in the rankings of agricultural exporting countries in world trade is estimated in terms of the volume of imports and exports of raw materials and food. However, to assess the efficiency of agricultural exports, it is important to analyze the value added of exported goods produced in the country. The position of the exporting country in global value chains is derived from the type of agricultural production, which in turn depends on the level of development of the national economy, the availability and breadth of use of modern high technologies. The article examines the concept of the development of world agriculture from the point of view of the formation of global value chains, set out in the report of the UN World Food Organization [1] in comparison with the political decisions of such countries as India and the People’s Republic of China in the development of agricultural and food exports. The paper analyzes the risks associated with the consolidation of developing countries as suppliers of agricultural raw materials, as well as the conditions and action plan that allow the country-exporter of agricultural raw materials to move to higher levels in the global value chains on the world market. This experience should be considered to make comprehensive and effective decisions on the formation of the export policy of agricultural products and food of the Russian Federation, considering the food security of the country.

In the paper, we investigate the main causes and consequences of de-industrialization manufacturing and identify important factors influencing the structural transformation of the industrial sector through the prism of global technological challenges. Important challenges identified include environmental challenges of the threatening impact of climate change, digitalization in all spheres of public life, the technological leadership of developed countries in context field of Industry 4.0, changes in the geopolitical landscape and trade conflicts between countries; migration and population aging; changes in competencies and retraining of employees to acquire digital skills; cybersecurity and volatility threats; quarantine amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The current structural imbalances of Ukrainian industrial development are considered and the current state and dynamics of structural changes in the Ukrainian economy in technological, reproduction, sectoral and foreign economic dimensions are analyzed. Crisis trends in the Ukrainian industry developed long before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic: comparing the structure of Ukrainian industry by type of economic activity, a decrease in the share of the manufacturing industry, a loss of production potential for a number of high-tech industries (automotive industry, instrument making, shipbuilding) and a decrease in added value in manufacturing industry with Ukraine's establishment as an independent state in which profound political, social and economic reforms have begun to take place. The analysis made it possible to determine further opportunities for industrial development, taking into account harmonization with European trends in digital and green transformations in industry. Based on the research results, complex directions for solving structural imbalances in industry at interrelated levels are proposed: state, regional and local levels. Overcoming the consequences of Ukrainian manufacturing deindustrialization in the context of European integration is dependent on developing and implementing relevant policy of manufacturing modernization and principles of the "circular economy"; integration into strategic value chains; creating conditions for training personnel with digital competencies; development of an innovative infrastructure – scientific, industrial, technological parks, innovation clusters and business-incubators. This will lead to the development and introduction of domestic innovation in production, which in turn should inspire further progress in the innovation structural transformation in Ukrainian economy and help to enhance national competitiveness and achieve sustained economic growth.

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.

AbstractInternational trade has been increasingly organized in the form of global value chains (GVCs). In this paper, we provide a new method for comparing GVCs across countries and over time. First, we use the World Input–Output Database (WIOD) to construct both the upstream and the downstream global value networks. Second, we introduce a network-based measure of node similarity to compare the GVCs between any pair of countries for each sector and each year available in the WIOD. Our network-based similarity is a better measure for node comparison than the existing ones because it takes into account all the direct and indirect relationships between the country–sector pairs, is applicable to both directed and weighted networks with self-loops, and takes into account externally defined node attributes. As a result, our measure of similarity reveals the most intensive interactions among the GVCs across countries and over time. From 1995 to 2011, the average similarity between sectors and countries have clear increasing trends, which are temporarily interrupted by the recent economic crisis. This measure of the similarity of GVCs provides quantitative answers to important questions about dependency, sustainability, risk, and competition in the global production system.
