本文考察了生产全球化对意大利鞋类行业的影响，并调查了一些鞋类地区在加入国际生产网络时发生的结构性变化。讨论了以下问题：意大利鞋类区是否专门从事生产周期的特定阶段？是否有减少地区内活动的趋势？还是根据各地区的主要细分市场和价值链（如奢侈品时尚市场或大众市场）出现不同的模式？本研究利用意大利国家制鞋业协会（ANCI）收集的外发加工贸易（OPT）数据，从“省”层面分析制鞋业生产的碎片化问题。现有的数据分类允许调查不同的外包策略和区域内的新趋势。提出了两个案例研究；一个在威尼托的里维埃拉德尔布伦塔，另一个在普利亚的巴列塔。在调查的鞋类地区中，发现了不同国际本地化策略的证据。本文认为，这些不同的专业化模式与集群的市场地位密切相关，并表明这些模式影响集群未来竞争力的潜力。
This paper examines the impact of globalization of production on the Italian footwear sector and investigates the structural changes taking place in some shoe districts as they join international production networks. The following questions are discussed: Are Italian footwear districts specializing in particular phases of the production cycle? Is there a trend towards the reduction of activities carried out within districts? Or are different patterns emerging according to the districts' main market segment and to the value chains ( e. g. luxury fashion market or mass market) they belong to? The study explores these issues using data on outward processing trade ( OPT) collected by Associazione Nazionale Calzaturieri Italiani (ANCI) to analyse the fragmentation of production in the footwear sector at "provincia" level. The available disaggregation of data allows an investigation of the different outsourcing strategies and emerging trends within the district. Two case studies are presented; one on Riviera del Brenta in Veneto and the other on Barletta in Puglia. In the footwear districts investigated, evidence of different international delocalization strategies is found. It is argued that these different patterns of specialization are closely related to the clusters' market position and suggest that these patterns influence the clusters' potential for future competitiveness.
