Abstract: Abstract This chapter examines the evolution and present landscape of maritime and aviation connectivity by utilizing centrality metrics derived from Lloyd's List and the OAG Database. These calculated connectivity metrics shed light on how maritime and aviation linkages influence the extent of GVC involvement, as detailed in Chap. 2 , and affect the subsequent advancement of industrial frameworks through GVC engagement, as outlined in Chap. 3 . The in-depth analysis underscores the ascent of certain emerging economies juxtaposed with the relative descent of more advanced nations. Notably, the growth trajectory of maritime and aviation connections displays significant geographical disparities, mirroring the different pace of economic development across regions.
