Playing the scales
Local actors can defend public value by mobilizing resistance coalitions against threats from higher spatial scales. Drawing on existing scholarship on resistance movements and public value creation, this paper proposes a theoretical framework for understanding how local actors can protect public value from threats of rescaling driven solely by hegemonic discourses and presents a strategy that we call “playing the scales.” Our case study analyzes…
Tensions Between Local Embeddedness and Scaling up
Although grassroots initiatives in the renewable energy transition are flourishing, their embeddedness in local contexts challenges their capacity to spread their impact on a broader scale. Certainly, while scaling up has been described as difficult to combine with local embeddedness, little is known on the specific nature of the tensions involved in combining the two. Studying a federation of citizen renewable energy (RE) cooperatives in the sou…
Entangling global chains of wealth and value through CSR-ization
Recent contributions to Global Value Chain studies have cast the intertwining of global finance and production in a new light, through the concept of entanglement of Global Wealth Chains (GWCs) and Global Value Chains (GVCs), and their uneven social consequences have been questioned. The paper contributes to this emerging debate through a critical Polanyian perspective on GVCs/GWCs where the processes of fictitious commodification pertain not onl…
Political CSR initiatives as levers of marginalisation
Purpose The transformative potential of CSR is a far-reaching question. It has been analysed through the lens of the inclusion of stakeholders concerned by social and environmental issues in political CSR fora such as multi-stakeholder initiatives or, on the contrary, their exclusion from these processes. This paper aims to highlight the transformation or status quo produced by political corporate social responsibility (PCSR) initiatives, the ext…

CSR beyond the corporation
The frontier of corporate social responsibility (CSR) is constantly being negotiated by corporate and non-corporate actors that vie to define its meaning and scope. In this article, we explore the relationship between CSR and governance in the context of global value chains that span both organizational boundaries and geographic borders. We draw on the CSR and global value chain literature to highlight the nexus between CSR and what we see as two…
Dictionnaire critique de la RSE
Tout le monde parle de la RSE mais qui sait vraiment à quoi renvoie ce phénomène ? Si chacun s'accorde sur le fait qu'il bouleverse le mode traditionnel de négociation sociale et de médiation publique, il n'existe en revanche aucune forme de consensus clair quant à ses contours et limites. Avancée pour les uns, recul pour les autres, phénomène intriguant pour tous, la RSE interpelle, mobilise, divise... sans que l'on dispose d’un minimum de référ…
Multinational corporations’ politics and resistance to plant shutdowns
MNCs’ politics has been considered a ‘contested terrain’ and further research is needed into the dynamics between the Head Office’s drastic restructuring decisions and local responses to understand how collective resistance is performed, and on what conditions. A neo-Gramscian approach is developed to analyse two plants in France facing drastic restructuring, including shutdown. We trace the dynamics of forces significant in aligning resisting su…
Quand rhétorique managériale rime avec violence sociale. Le cas d’une restructuration dans les télécommunications
Cet article analyse le contexte strategique, organisationnel et managerial de la crise sociale qu’a traversee une grande entreprise de telecommunication en France a l’automne 2009, alors qu’une vague de suicides de salaries survenus entre 2008 et 2009 connaissait une forte mediatisation. Les auteurs resituent, en premier lieu, ces suicides par rapport aux transformations majeures qu’a recemment vecues cette ancienne administration, en montrant qu…

Les réseaux d'innovation sont-ils toujours ancrés dans les territoires
La présente recherche interroge l’inscription spatiale des réseaux d’innovation. Nombreux sont aujourd’hui les travaux qui font le lien entre la réalisation d’activités innovantes et la co-localisation des acteurs sur un même territoire. L’ancrage territorial des membres d’un réseau d’innovation aurait ainsi un impact sur leur capacité à apprendre et à innover collectivement. Selon la lecture que nous en proposons, « l’encastrement inter-organisa…
Bringing the social context back in
This paper addresses recent changes in governance patterns that significantly altered power relations and wealth distribution in global commodity chains. First, it emphasizes the rise of a financial sphere made up of institutional investors and executives of large corporations at the top of GCCs, and discusses the consequences of this for supplier relations and working conditions of women workers at the base of GCCs. Second, by linking recent gov…
Firme-réseau globale et réseaux transnationaux d’ONG
Cette contribution s’appuie sur l’observation d’un cas de campagne activiste mettant en cause la marque allemande PUMA au sujet des conditions de travail des salariés de l’un de ses sous-traitants au Mexique. De nature exploratoire, ce travail pose les bases d’un cadre d’analyse des mutations organisationnelles et stratégiques observables dans les relations entre l’entreprise et les nouveaux acteurs du dialogue social que constituent les ONG acti…
The Global Sourcing Patterns of French Clothing Retailers
Combining a business-system perspective and a global value-chain perspective, I draw on French clothing import data and interviews to characterize the sourcing patterns of French clothing retailers and analyze their determinants. The dominant pattern identified is one of dispersed, unstable, and informal supplier relations, which can be explained by the importance of small specialized chains, the predominance of family and management ownership, a…
New Challenges for Developing Country Suppliers in Global Clothing Chains
Global production and local jobs
This article is developed out of a research project on 'Global Production and Local Jobs' launched by the International Institute for Labour Studies of the International Labour Organization (ILO). It identifies salient features of global production networks in the automobile, electronics and apparel industries, and discusses their implications for local industrial upgrading, jobs and development policy. The approach combines in novel forms comple…
