A distinctive feature of the book is that it situates the contemporary GVC revolution—that envisages fragmentation and dispersion of production processes across the world based on competitive costs and quality—as a natural progression of the traditional FDIs-MNEs nexus, which emphasized internationalization of production and trade in search of profits, resources, markets, or cheap labour. Moreover, the book provides a comprehensive analysis, from historical, theoretical and empirical perspectives, of both traditional FDIs-MNEs Nexus that dominated the world economy until the end of the twentieth century, and of the New Nexus of FDIs-MNEs-GVCs, that has opened grand opportunities for global prosperity by providing short-cut paths to industrialization and economic growth for less developed countries.           As an exemplar, the book examines GVCs in automobiles—a medium-tech manufacturing activity with numerous backward and forward linkages—to demonstrate how the FDI-MNE-GVC interface in this sector has wedged industrialization, employment, and trade in six emerging countries/regions—Brazil, Central and Eastern Europe, China, India, Mexico and Thailand.International economicsDevelopment economicsInternational business enterprisesEconomic growthPolitical economyInternational Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W33000Development Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000International Businesshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/525000Economic Growthhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W44000International Political Economyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912140International economics.Development economics.International business enterprises.Economic growth.Political economy.International Economics.Development Economics.International Business.Economic Growth.International Political Economy.337Dowlah Cafauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut892261BOOK9910299641103321Transformations of Global Prosperity2528666UNINA
