摘要本文回顾了全球价值链治理理论的发展和现状，并通过“模块化理论构建”的实践，为构建更广泛的治理理论迈出了初步的步伐。我们专注于两个全球价值链治理理论，我们以前的贡献：一个理论的联系和公约的理论。我们提出的模块化框架建立在三个标量维度上：（1）微观层面----单个价值链节点的交易决定因素和动态;（2）中观层面----这些联系特征如何以及在多大程度上“旅行”价值链的上游和下游;（3）宏观层面----审视“整体”全球价值链治理。由于篇幅所限，我们只关注宏观层面治理的“极性”问题，区分单极、双极和多极治理形式。虽然我们将对全球价值链的总体治理如何由微观/中观因素以及更广泛的体制、监管和社会进程相互构成进行更雄心勃勃的分析，但我们提供了一个初步框架，可以将这项工作与之联系起来。我们的最终目的是促进今后努力使用和完善更多的理论，将理论更好地结合在一起或以不同的模块配置结合在一起，并在宏观层面纳入反映全球价值链治理中关键行为体不断变化的要素-例如，非政府组织、品味和标准制定者以及社会运动在全球价值链治理中的影响力日益增强。
ABSTRACT In this article, we review the evolution and current status of global value chain (GVC) governance theory and take some initial steps toward a broader theory of governance through an exercise in ‘modular theory-building’. We focus on two GVC governance theories to which we previously contributed: a theory of linking and a theory of conventions. The modular framework we propose is built on three scalar dimensions: (1) a micro level – determinants and dynamics of exchange at individual value chain nodes; (2) a meso level – how and to what extent these linkage characteristics ‘travel’ upstream and downstream in the value chain; and (3) a macro level – looking at ‘overall’ GVC governance. Given space limitations, we focus only on the issue of ‘polarity’ in governance at the macro level, distinguishing between unipolar, bipolar and multipolar governance forms. While we leave a more ambitious analysis of how overall GVC governance is mutually constituted by micro/meso factors and broader institutional, regulatory and societal processes to future work, we provide an initial framework to which this work could be linked. Our ultimate purpose is to spur future efforts that seek to use and refine additional theories, to connect theories together better or in different modular configurations, and to incorporate elements at the macro level that reflect the changing constellation of key actors in GVC governance – the increasing influence of, for example, NGOs, taste and standard makers, and social movements in GVC governance.
