近年来，全球经济活动的地点发生了重大变化，新兴经济体相对于发达经济体占据了更大的份额。这些发展使许多作者提到了全球工厂的概念。但很少有人注意到谁控制着地理上分散的活动，或者换句话说，关于全球工厂的治理。全球经济活动地点的变化是否主要是由于新兴经济体当地企业的增长，还是由于发达经济体的跨国公司增加了外国直接投资，还是由于发达经济体企业协调的外包安排的扩散？这些控制/治理问题对获取全球价值链中赚取的利润/租金，从而对全球收入分配产生深远影响。本文探讨了这些问题，并考虑谁从当代全球化阶段受益最多。
Recent years have witnessed major changes in the global location of economic activity, with the emerging economies assuming greater shares relative to the advanced economies. These developments have led many authors to refer to the idea of the global factory. But little attention has been given to who has control over the geographically dispersed activities-or, to put it another way, about the governance of the global factory. Have the changes in the global location of economic activity come about primarily through the growth of locally owned firms in the emerging economies, or through increased FDI by MNEs from the advanced economies, or through the proliferation of outsourcing arrangements coordinated by firms in the advanced economies? These control/governance issues have profound implications for the capture of the profits/rents earned in global value chains, and hence for the global distribution of income. This paper explores these issues, and considers who has benefited most from the contemporary phase of globalization.
