Abstract

I develop a critical framework on international management and production that draws from the literature on global commodity chains and global production networks, on institutional entrepreneurship, and on neo-Gramscian theory in international political economy. The framework views global production networks as integrated economic, political, and discursive systems in which market and political power are intertwined. The framework offers insights into contested political and social issues, such as sweatshops and incomes for coffee growers.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
