Chapter Chapter 1 in Global Value Chains and Industrial Development, 2024, pp 1-10 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter provides overview of the book. Considering the evolution of global value chains (GVCs), this book’s objectives are as follows: (1) GVC participation and influencing factors: To elucidate the methodologies used to analyze GVC participation and examine the factors influencing the participation of developing nations, especially the link between GVC participation and income levels. (2) GVC upgrading and influencing factors: To understand the methodologies for analyzing GVC upgrading and explore the elements affecting GVC enhancement in developing nations. This is particularly relevant for nations experiencing a surge in imported inputs due to weak industry supplier bases. (3) The role of connectivity in GVC dynamics: To delve into the evolution and present state of maritime and aviation connectivity and examine its repercussions on GVC involvement and the subsequent transformation of industrial frameworks.
