Abstract

The introductory chapter illustrates the relevance of (research on) global value chains (GVCs) in sub-Saharan Africa. It provides an overview of the state of the art, and outlines the structure of the edited volume. Five key features of GVCs are identified, and the respective chapter contributions summarised: first, governance institutions and their policies are critical for the dynamics of GVCs and their impact on economic development. Second, GVCs are diverse, which has far-reaching implications for both economics and politics. Third, regional value chains have recently gained considerable political relevance, arguably being an alternative to value chains of a global scope. Fourth, the political and socio-economic effects of GVC participation merit more attention too. Fifth, there is a need to consider the sub-national dimension of GVCs, particularly the roles of cities and city regions.
