abstract: 'Socioeconomic inequalities can take different forms. Sometimes they
|
||||
|
||||
appear simply as disparities between individuals or households, or
|
||||
|
||||
between groups that differ on the basis of factors such as social class,
|
||||
|
||||
gender, age, ethnicity, among many others. Likewise, social and economic
|
||||
|
||||
inequalities can be perceived in different geographical scales of
|
||||
|
||||
analysis, between countries or groups of countries, as well as between
|
||||
|
||||
regions, provinces, cities or neighborhoods. Although this paper focuses
|
||||
|
||||
on territorial inequalities, there is no doubt that both levels are
|
||||
|
||||
deeply interrelated.
|
||||
|
||||
At this point, there is no longer any doubt that globalization has gone
|
||||
|
||||
hand in hand with increasing inequality in general and, in particular,
|
||||
|
||||
growing regional disparities in developing countries throughout Latin
|
||||
|
||||
America, Asia, Africa or Eastern Europe, as well as the continuity of
|
||||
|
||||
regional inequalities in developed countries such as Spain, for example.
|
||||
|
||||
This context poses new challenges for the academic investigation of
|
||||
|
||||
inequality, because to explain the phenomenon of unequal regional
|
||||
|
||||
development in a globalized world it is necessary to put the actors of
|
||||
|
||||
this process and their roots in the territory in the center of the
|
||||
|
||||
scene, along with issues such as their position in the economic system
|
||||
|
||||
and the generation and reproduction of power asymmetries.
|
||||
|
||||
Although for some authors globalization acts as an asymmetric process
|
||||
|
||||
that tends to deepen the inequalities between countries and regions, for
|
||||
|
||||
others the problem is not strictly the process of globalization, but the
|
||||
|
||||
way in which countries, regions and firms are inserted and positioned in
|
||||
|
||||
global economy. What is clear is that, being in some way an inevitable
|
||||
|
||||
scenario, globalization contains both opportunities and challenges for
|
||||
|
||||
regional development, while it generates winners and losers among the
|
||||
|
||||
actors and regions involved.
|
||||
|
||||
We believe that the approaches of Global Value Chains (GVC) and Global
|
||||
|
||||
Production Networks (GPN) can be useful tools for understanding the
|
||||
|
||||
relationships between globalization and unequal regional development,
|
||||
|
||||
and for analyzing how actors and regions participate in the global
|
||||
|
||||
economy, how the power and income are distributed among them and what
|
||||
|
||||
possibilities exist for repositioning, among other issues.
|
||||
|
||||
If we look at, for example, the literature on developing countries in
|
||||
|
||||
Latin America, the tendency in recent decades to adopt the conceptual
|
||||
|
||||
framework of GVC is evident, but the contributions from GPN have been
|
||||
|
||||
largely unnoticed so far, which has tended to limit its specific
|
||||
|
||||
application to the analysis of territorial inequalities. On the other
|
||||
|
||||
hand, several authors have highlighted the need to compatibilize, enrich
|
||||
|
||||
and eclectically integrate the analytical frameworks of GVC and GPN.
|
||||
|
||||
The article aims to cover these research niches with a comprehensive
|
||||
|
||||
review of the approaches of global value chains and global production
|
||||
|
||||
networks, hoping that it can be used as a theoretical and methodological
|
||||
|
||||
contribution to the analysis of regional inequalities. This review is
|
||||
|
||||
structured on the basis of a contrast between the respective strengths
|
||||
|
||||
and weaknesses of each approach, showing those points where they can
|
||||
|
||||
complement and enrich each other.
|
||||
|
||||
Throughout the literature there is an old interest in understanding the
|
||||
|
||||
changing forms of organization of production and trade at global level,
|
||||
|
||||
its evolution and its repercussions over territorial inequalities,
|
||||
|
||||
starting for example with dependence theories, center-periphery, world
|
||||
|
||||
system and commodity chains, passing through global commodity chains
|
||||
|
||||
(GCC) and arriving at the further development of GVC. While there are
|
||||
|
||||
some differences in terminology and emphases between the origins of GVC
|
||||
|
||||
and GPN, over the years they have tended to shrink and converge, since
|
||||
|
||||
these approaches are interrelated and share a common agenda of problems.
|
||||
|
||||
Another central aspect is that, despite theoretical discussions (and, in
|
||||
|
||||
particular, criticisms of GPN towards GVC), studies under one tradition
|
||||
|
||||
or another tend to be largely similar, since there are not great
|
||||
|
||||
methodological differences between them. This is directly related to the
|
||||
|
||||
balance of strengths and weaknesses of each approach. On the one hand,
|
||||
|
||||
authors that support the GPN framework value their greater
|
||||
|
||||
analytical-conceptual breadth (covering topics supposedly relegated by
|
||||
|
||||
GVC tradition), but it has the counterpart of making its implementation
|
||||
|
||||
more complex. In contrast, GVC analysis is best understood as a
|
||||
|
||||
methodological approach that can be mobilized within various theoretical
|
||||
|
||||
perspectives, although this greater operational versatility comes with
|
||||
|
||||
the cost of some degree of theoretical eclecticism.
|
||||
|
||||
It should be noted that, although these approaches have been developed,
|
||||
|
||||
such as their own names indicate, over the basis of the
|
||||
|
||||
internationalization and relocation of different circuits of production
|
||||
|
||||
and trade at a global level, their methodological contributions can also
|
||||
|
||||
be applied to domestic chains or networks, making a broad interpretation
|
||||
|
||||
of trade and exports of a particular region to analyze the interaction
|
||||
|
||||
between the local dimension and the extra-regional scale (national or
|
||||
|
||||
international factors).
|
||||
|
||||
As a closure, we can conclude that the GVC approach is applicable to
|
||||
|
||||
regional analysis (avoiding some analytical complexities of GPN) but it
|
||||
|
||||
needs to be strengthened with some elements of GPN tradition. In
|
||||
|
||||
particular, it is necessary to reinforce the territoriality of chains of
|
||||
|
||||
networks, to widen the spectrum of institutions taken into account and
|
||||
|
||||
to analyze their relations from a multidimensional (vertical,
|
||||
|
||||
horizontal, diagonal) and multiscalar perspective (regional, national,
|
||||
|
||||
international, global). At the same time, it is necessary to keep in
|
||||
|
||||
mind the existence of different types of networks, power relations and
|
||||
|
||||
possibilities of upgrading.
|
||||
|
||||
At this point we should also point out some possible restrictions or
|
||||
|
||||
weaknesses for the application of the approaches of GVC and GPN to the
|
||||
|
||||
analysis of uneven regional development. On the one hand, the idea of
|
||||
|
||||
inequality necessarily relates with economic processes that, by their
|
||||
|
||||
own nature, can adopt asymmetric and divergent characteristics. But
|
||||
|
||||
unlike the analytical (often critical) perspectives we present in this
|
||||
|
||||
paper, the use of the concept of global value chains has become popular
|
||||
|
||||
in recent years and has entered into the agendas of international
|
||||
|
||||
organizations and multilateral forums that tend to adopt a highly
|
||||
|
||||
optimistic (or uncritical) view towards globalization and its possible
|
||||
|
||||
impacts on the progress of underdeveloped countries and regions. By
|
||||
|
||||
circumventing or minimizing the potentially negative and inequitable
|
||||
|
||||
factors discussed in the article, this can strongly change public policy
|
||||
|
||||
recommendations and strategies.
|
||||
|
||||
On the other hand, a weakness of GVC and GPN literatures is the limited
|
||||
|
||||
recognition that innovation, knowledge and technology have usually
|
||||
|
||||
received. In any case, these approaches recognize the importance of
|
||||
|
||||
innovation as a basic input for upgrading processes, but little is said
|
||||
|
||||
about the specific nature of the complex processes of learning and
|
||||
|
||||
innovation, which represents an interesting line of work to be covered.'
