WebsiteThe fragmentation of international production has become a defining feature of global trade, with a large share of international exchanges embedded in global value chains (GVCs). These transformations have significant implications for development trajectories, industrial structures, and trade and innovation policies across countries.
The two-day event will combine keynote sessions with paper presentations by PhD students and young scholars. It also seeks to consolidate collaboration with researchers from the University of Urbino, strengthening transnational networks between Berlin-based scholars and heterodox doctoral programs in international economics.
The event will be focused on trade and international relations. In this regard, the discussion will cover the following topics:
- International trade
- Unequal relation south-north
- Technology transfer
- Foreign Direct Investment effect on global south
- Global value chain
- Structural change
