摘要
It is widely recognised that labour has been downplayed in the literature on global value chains (GVCs) and global production networks (GPNs). While several scholars have tried to bring labour "back in" to GVC research, others suggest this agenda does not go far enough and fails to challenge mainstream political and economic assumptions. Taking its cue from calls for a "re-formulated research agenda" for labour in GPNs, this paper uses a case study of capital and labour relations in India's rapidly growing automotive industry to posit an analytical framework that can sufficiently recognise workers' "co-constitutive" role in the operation, reproduction and restructuring of commodity chains dominated by powerful global corporations.
