From commodity chains to value chains: interdisciplinary theory building in an age of globalization

The theory of GVC governance at the center of the paper is part of a long-term effort to generalize from accumulated comparative observational research on a range of global industries. First, I discuss the motivations for supplementing the buyer-driven and producer-driven modes of global commodity chain governance developed by Gary Gereffi in the 1990s with an industry-neutral, non-empirical framework. Second, I briefly present the features of the GVC governance framework as they appear in the 2005 article. Third, I discuss the interdisciplinary theoretical underpinnings of the framework in more detail than was possible in the original article. Fourth, I discuss the problem of variation in GVC governance. Fifth, I situate the GVC governance framework in a larger field of GVC-related theory, including but not limited to power and institutions.Este artículo sitúa, elabora y busca profundizar una explicación sobre la teoría de gobernanza de las cadenas de valor globales (CDV) desarrollada por Gereffi, Humphrey y Sturgeon (2005). La teoría sobre la gobernanza de las cadenas de valor al centro de este trabajo forma parte de un esfuerzo de larga data, que apunta a hacer generalizaciones a partir de la investigación comparada y observada de una variedad de industrias globales. Primero, discutiré la motivación de complementar el enfoque de cadenas conducidas por el comprador y el productor dentro del marco de cadenas de commodities globales desarrollado por Gary Gereffi en los años 1990 con un marco que sea neutro y no empiricista para poder analizar las industrias globales. Segundo, presento los principales componentes del marco de análisis de las cadenas de commodities desarrollado en el artículo citado del 2005. Tercero, discuto las bases teóricas interdisciplinarias que sostienen el enfoque a más profundidad de lo que se hace en el artículo original. Cuarto, se discute el problema de las variaciones en el marco de CDV y gobernanza. Quinto, sitúo el marco de gobernanza de las CDV dentro de la teoría más amplia de cadenasde valor, incluido, pero no limitado al análisis de relaciones de poder e instituciones.FLACSO Ecuador2013-11-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.flacsoandes.edu.ec/eutopia/article/view/102710.17141/eutopia.2.2010.1027Eutopía, Revista de Desarrollo y Territorio; No. 2 (2011): Cadenas productivas y territorio; 11-38Eutopía.
