Abstract
The concluding chapter returns to the five critical research issues identified in the introduction to the edited volume. It summarises how the book’s chapters have advanced our knowledge on these issues, puts the findings into a broader context and then suggests topics for follow-up research. Particular attention is drawn to four ideas. First, policies towards global value chains (GVCs) generally create losers and winners, a factor that sometimes gets blurred in policy-oriented research. Second, the diversity of GVCs means that much can be learnt from comparative, cross-regional research. Third, regional value chains (RVCs) should not be seen as an alternative to GVCs. Global and regional value chains are tied to one another, and industrial policy on RVCs should make use of global linkages. Fourth, there is potential for further examining the role of cities/city regions in GVCs, especially regarding the impact on development in peripheral countries.
