摘要：在关于基于全球价值链 (GVC) 的全球经济的起源、演变和运作的争论中，政治以及国家都处于边缘地位。我们在此主张，在全球价值链和相关辩论中，需要更加仔细地理解国家机构和国家权力的核心复杂性，以此为基础，可以将不断发展的全球价值链世界的治理正确地理论化为围绕经济和政治权力的不可分割性。我们提出了一个框架，以理解政治和国家在全球价值链世界的建设和维护中的作用，使用促进、监管和分配治理形式的三重类型，并提出“外包治理”的概念，试图捕捉国家通过积极的政治机构有目的地参与将各种治理职能和权力委托给私人行为者的过程的方式。我们的首要论点是规范性的：我们目前观察到的“外包治理”形式与回归性分配结果相关，与包容性和可持续的全球经济背道而驰。
ABSTRACT Politics, and by extension states, are marginal in debates about the genesis, evolution and functioning of the global value chain (GVC)-based global economy. We contend here that the core complexity of state agency and state power needs to be much more carefully understood in GVC and related debates, as a basis on which the governance of the evolving GVC world can be properly theorised as revolving around the inseparability of economic and political power. We advance a framework for understanding the role of politics and states in the construction and maintenance of a GVC world, using a three-fold typology of facilitative, regulatory and distributive forms of governance, and propose a notion of ‘outsourcing governance’ as an attempt to capture the ways in which states purposefully, through active political agency, have engaged in a process of delegating a variety of governance functions and authority to private actors. Our overarching argument is normative: ‘outsourced governance’ of the form we currently observe is associated with regressive distributional outcomes, and is antithetical to an inclusive and sustainable global economy.
