This article closely examines two industrial clusters in China, and compares the various adaptations these two clusters have undergone, as well as the mechanisms underlying the industrial and geographical dynamics within these two clusters. Specifically, based on recent field investigation and in-depth interviews during 2011–2014, we examine two types of local governance, and pay attention to the articulation between “governance within global value chains” and “governance within local clusters,” and to how global and local governance co-shape the ways in which and the extents to which local firms participate in the global economy, producing diverse geographies of production and generating diverse trajectories of regional development. The article concludes that local and global governance co-determine domestic firms’ upgrading sources, the strength of their local embeddedness, and the ways in which they conduct spatial and organizational restructuring, such as factory consolidation, factory closure, industrial upgrading, and geographical relocation.

Nonlinear Pattern

This study examines the relationship between economic growth and participation in global value chains (GVCs) and demonstrates that the U-shaped nonlinear pattern of GVCs could be more effective than the simple linear pattern of GVCs in terms of economic growth in high- and middle-income economies. The U-shaped nonlinear pattern expresses that there are decreasing foreign-dominated GVCs (increasing high value-added domestic value chains) for building local value chain and then raise the GVCs participation to benefit at a better position in GVCs. This paper investigates a panel of 63 advanced and emerging economies and obtained significant evidence by using systemic quantitative analysis. This research suggests that emerging markets should decrease foreign-dominated GVCs (increase high value-added domestic value chain) and then raise the participation of the GVC for economic growth.

The article provides a scientific and theoretical justification of new business models and structures of energy infrastructure development. It is determined that with the increase of decentralization of energy production more and more communities and enterprises can play a certain role in the energy system. It is noted that the first step towards building a community energy system is the process of uniting and coordinating stakeholders to build a legal, administrative and managerial structure. In rural areas, the community's energy initiative has been found to increase economic sustainability and lead to social innovation, increase the number of people who can access the benefits of renewable energy and energy efficiency through the Smart Village strategy approach. The initiation and implementation of Smart Village strategies can be based on existing initiatives and can be funded from a variety of public and private sources. Rural communities can include one or more settlements, without any restrictions on administrative boundaries or population. It has been proven that in rural areas, the community energy initiative through the Smart Village strategy approach increases economic sustainability and leads to social innovation, increases the number of people who can access the benefits of renewable energy and energy efficiency. Smart Villages develop and implement their strategy to improve their economic, social and environmental conditions, relying on a participatory responsibility approach, in particular by mobilizing solutions offered by digital technologies. Local energy generation means that profits and energy costs do not flow from the region, and can help reduce energy costs in the long run, while stimulating the emergence of local value chains. The main purpose of the infrastructure is to enable the generation of energy at the local level, which will ensure the concentration of energy costs in the region to reduce energy costs in the long run, while stimulating the emergence of local value chains. The article gives examples of effective implementation strategies Smart Village in the European Union.

Local Value

The phasing out of the Multi-Fibre Agreement in 2005 triggered a global reorganization and relocation of the textile and garment industry. There is a rich literature on how global buyers with headquarters located in developed countries have played a dominant role in this reorganization process. The literature is less clear on how local firms have reacted or which new industrial structures are emerging in middle-income countries in response to these developments. This article examines how the textile and garment industry in Brazil is adapting to this new competitive environment. We show how large and small producers have transformed their relationships and created dynamic exchanges of roles in response to international competition, and how these new dynamic relationships are influencing the fast creation and fast destruction of value in fashion.
