Summary & key words
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.
