Recently, key reports by UNCTAD, the WTO, World Bank and African Development Bank have been centrally focused on GVCs and their potential to drive developmental outcomes. GVCs are now acknowledged by key international organisations as forming the backbone of the global economy. Initially focused on economic development outcomes, more recently research on GPNs and GVCs has also explored the social and environmental implications. Research on global production networks (GPNs) and global value chains (GVCs) has made major progress in going beyond nation state-centric accounts of trade to look at the roles played by specific actors, the governance relationships involved and implications for upgrading producers' development prospects. This 2 session panel explores the economic, social and environmental challenges of GPNs and their developmental policy ramifications. Global value chains and production networks constitute the backbone of global trade and are subject to attention by both policymakers and political contestation.
