Citations in the corpus

• Review and Positions: Global Production Networks and Labour (2011, background): “For instance, GVC analysis had little to say about territorial or institutional context and so remained relatively ‘placeless’ (Bair, 2008).”
• Embedding Local Places in Global Spaces: Geographical Indications as a Territorial Development Strategy (2010, background): “…1994:97).2 Strengths of the GCC approach include its explicit focus on cross-national forms of economic organization and its ability to theorize the relationship between different governance structures and the associated power relations and coordination mechanisms (Bair 2008; Dicken et al. 2001).”
• Governing global value chains: an introduction (2008, background): “Although there was usually no equity relationship between the lead firm and its suppliers, what the buyer-driven construct sought to make explicit was that power could be embodied in inter-firm relationships even in the absence of formal hierarchy (Bair, 2008a).”
• Governance gaps in eradicating forced labor: from global to domestic supply chains (2019, background): “Notes 1 For a genealogy of the GVC concept and overlapping concepts like global commodity chains and global production networks, see Bair (2008).”
• Global Commodity Chains and the Marxian Law of Value (2010, background): “6 Bair (2008) argues that this recourse to network theories is more rhetorical than substantive since Gereffi, Humphrey and Sturgeon actually use a more expansive notion of network than the one derived from the new economic sociology.”
• Sustainability governance of chains and networks: a review and future outlook (2015, background): “…(Leslie and Reimer, 1999) and convention theory (Daviron and Gibbon, 2002), the GPN approach has furthered understanding of global economic organisation beyond productivism by strongly emphasising the socially and territorially embedded nature of production and consumption (Bair, 2008; Hess, 2004).”
• Geographies of markets: Materials, morals and monsters in motion (2011, background): “Finally, many of those scholars whom we have assembled under the label of ‘markets in motion’ deliberately regard their project as an attempt to go beyond stylized discussions of interfirm governance (see, for instance, Bair, 2008; Ramamurthy, 2004; Werner and Bair, forthcoming).”
• Rethinking governance and value in commodity chains through global recycling networks (2013, unknown): “GPN approaches are sensitive to the “different institutional and regulatory contexts that shape international production systems” (Bair 2008, 355, emphasis added).”
• The governance of supply networks: a systematic literature review (2012, background): “The remaining 4 were literature reviews (Bair, 2008; Belaya et al., 2009; Provan et al., 2007; Rao and Goldsby, 2009).”
