Globalisation in reverse? Reconfiguring the geographies of value chains and production networks
Standing at a crossroads, where ongoing ‘slowbalisation’ coincides with new forces such as the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, heightened geopolitical tensions, the emergence of disruptive technologies and the increasing urgency of addressing environmental challenges, many important questions remain unsolved regarding the nature and impact of the current economic globalisation. This special issue on ‘Globalisation in Reverse? Reconfiguring the…
Dialectics of Association and Dissociation
This article aims to substantiate how processes of valuation translate between different registers of value. We develop an analytical framework of how valuation is intertwined with geographic origination and the geographies of association and dissociation, which establish how commodities and consumer products are either associated with, or dissociated from, matters that are beneficial or damaging for sales and brand reputation. The article focuse…
Covid-19 and the case for global development
Geographies of dissociation
In this article, we seek to contribute to cultural-economic geography debates on the social construction of economic value. We widen the focus on already well-studied associations between branded commodities and other entities representing nonmonetary values by also considering what we refer to as ‘dissociations’. Dissociation denotes practices of weakening or obscuring negative links between a branded commodity and other entities in order to let…
Positioning and ‘doing’ geographies of dissociation
Inspired by five commentaries on our forum article, in this response article we elaborate on three points related to geographies of dissociation, namely positioning dissociation, dealing with plurality and moving from agenda-setting to empirical research. In order to assess the validity of critique elaborated in the commentaries, we specify the contribution we seek to make. Geographies of dissociation aim to contribute to a strand of cultural eco…
Sites of contestation in global fur networks
Variegated National Retail Markets
The last two decades have seen a major wave of retail globalization that has driven the transformation of retail markets in the emerging economies of Southeast Asia and beyond. This article provides a systematic analysis of the divergent pathways of retail market transformation in Malaysia and Thailand through exploring the interface of foreign retailers’ strategies of market development and regulatory efforts by the state. Drawing on the variega…
Global Production Networks
Contemporary capitalism is characterized by a high degree of economic globalization; uneven regional, national, and international development; and increasing fragmentation of production activities within and across borders, among other things. The global production network (GPN) framework has been developed in economic geography and cognate disciplines since the turn of the century as a heuristic device and more recently a theoretical approach to…
Spaces for creativity? Skills and deskilling in cultural and high-tech industries
Networks, Social Capital, and Development
This entry provides an overview of the role of networks and social capital for development. Networks have become an almost universal organizing principle for societies and economies, and have increasingly been at the center of analysis in human geography and cognate disciplines. At the same time, the concept of social capital has gained prominence in development studies and policy, following in particular Robert Putnam's influential writings in t…

The global production network (GPN) framework has been developed in economic geography and cognate disciplines since the turn of the century as a heuristic device to better understand and analyze these proc…
Whither ‘high-tech’ labor? Codification and (de-)skilling in automotive components value chains
Governmentalizing Gramsci
This article takes a fresh look at the multiple power relations between state, capital and labor in global production networks. Moving beyond debates about public vs. private governance, it brings together Antonio Gramsci's concepts of hegemony and the integral state with Michel Foucault's concepts of governmentality and the "dipositive" in order to analyze the power topologies that permeate global production networks. Using the Cambodian garment…
Spatial Relationships
This entry provides a brief account of how spatial relationships have been theorized in the social sciences. Space has often been conceived of as a physical arena in which social interaction takes place, a view that became increasingly challenged in human geography and cognate disciplines like sociology. Recent work therefore emphasizes the relational nature of space and place as constituted through social interactions rather than as a Kantian a …

Global production networks, labour and development
Making connections
This article offers a sympathetic critique of recent attempts to forge a dialogue between Global Commodity Chain (GCC) and World City Network (WCN) approaches to global economic change. While broadly supportive of the endeavour, we make three observations about this ongoing project. First, we question the utility of emphasizing the common roots of these approaches in World Systems Theory given that both have subsequently moved into new epistemolo…
Global production networks
Understanding and conceptualizing the complexities of the contemporary global economy is a challenging but vitally important task. In this article, we critically evaluate the potential of one interpretive framework-the global production networks (GPN) perspective-for analysing the global economy and its impacts on territorial development. After situating the approach in relation to other cognate chain/network approaches, the article proceeds to r…

Spatial Relationships
Traditionally, the analysis of spatial relationships has been considered to be the domain of geography, whereas the academic discipline of sociology was concerned about the relationships between societies and social actors. Following a period of regional geography approaches in the first half of the twentieth century that had emphasized territorial differentiation as being at the core of human geography, this view has been subsequently contested.…
Whither Global Production Networks in Economic Geography? Past, Present, and Future
We would like to thank Jamie Peck and Ros Whitehead for their efficient handling of the review process of this special issue. We are grateful to all the paper presenters and participants in the three paper sessions on “Global Production Networks” at the Philadelphia centennial meeting of the Association of American Geographers in March 2004 for their important contributions to the development of global production networks as a research paradigm i…
Making Connections
The authors investigate the contemporary restructuring of the mobile-telecommunications industry with the use of a global production networks (GPNs) perspective. After a brief conceptual discussion of GPN, standard setting and embeddedness, their analysis proceeds in four further stages. First, they consider how technological change has driven the development of complex mobile telecommunications GPNs in a sector previously characterised by relati…
Globalizing’ regional development
Recent literature concerning regional development has placed significant emphasis on local institutional structures and their capacity to ‘hold down’ the global. Conversely, work on inter‐firm networks – such as the global commodity chain approach – has highlighted the significance of the organizational structures of global firms’ production systems and their relation to industrial upgrading. In this paper, drawing upon a global production networ…
Spatial' relationships? Towards a reconceptualization of embedded ness
The concept of embeddedness has gained much prominence in economic geography over the last decade, as much work has been done on the social and organizational foundations of economic activities and regional development. Unlike the original conceptualizations, however, embeddedness is mostly conceived of as a 'spatial' concept related to the local and regional levels of analysis. By revisiting the early literature on embeddedness in particular the…
Global production networks and the analysis of economic development
This article outlines a framework for the analysis of economic integration and its relation to the asymmetries of economic and social development. Consciously breaking with state-centric forms of social science, it argues for a research agenda that is more adequate to the exigencies and consequences of globalization than has traditionally been the case in 'development studies'. Drawing on earlier attempts to analyse the cross-border activities of…
