• The Blue Revolution in Asia: Upgrading and Governance in Aquaculture Value Chains (2014, unknown): “The concept of governance in GVC analysis is based on the observation that value chains are rarely coordinated spontaneously through market exchange (Gereffi, Humphrey & Sturgeon, 2005; Gibbon, Bair & Ponte, 2008; Ponte & Sturgeon, 2014).”
• The governance of global wealth chains (2017, background): “global wealth chains; global value chains; offshore; financial governance; taxation; MNCs; inequality.”
• Emerging trends in aquaculture value chain research (2019, background): “Multi-polarity also reflects the plurality of social and regulatory drivers that shape the structure and governance of value chains (Ponte 2014).”
• Economic and Social Upgrading in Global Value Chains and Industrial Clusters: Why Governance Matters (2014, background): “Whereas the initial distinction between producer-driven and buyer-driven commodity chains conceptualizes governance as ‘‘driving’’ and the more differentiated fivefold typology sees governance as ‘‘coordinating,’’ Ponte and Sturgeon (2014) introduce a third dimension: governance as ‘‘normalizing.’’”
• Power in global value chains (2019, unknown): “This leads away from the unipolarity of governance, where power is concentrated in one functional position in the value chain, towards multipolarity, where power might appear in various functional positions (Fold, 2002; Ponte & Sturgeon, 2014).”
• Global value chains, rising power firms and economic and social upgrading (2015, background): “…the former’s relative emphasis on local institutions and embeddedness (Coe et al., 2008; Henderson et al., 2002; Hess and Yeung, 2006), while GVC analysis deals more specifically with vertical commercial linkages and the role of power in global supply chains (Bair, 2009; Ponte and Sturgeon, 2014).”
• The evolution of power in the global coffee value chain and production network (2019, background): “…narrowly on a firm’s position in the overall value network rather than on the range of ways in which power can be exercised in global production networks, as we do. modular theory-building (Ponte and Sturgeon, 2014) that has the potential to inform and strengthen the GVC and GPN literatures.”
• Asian firms and the restructuring of global value chains (2014, background): “…how such networks are governed and how different actors frame the overall architecture of the network with special focus on the associated issue of upgrading in these networks (Bair & Gereffi, 2003; Gereffi & Memedovic, 2003; Gereffi et al., 2005; Humphrey & Schmitz, 2002; Ponte & Sturgeon, 2013).”
• Exogenous sources of regional industrial change (2018, background): “The literature on global value chains (Gereffi et al., 2005; Ponte and Sturegon, 2014) and global production networks (GPNs) (Coe et al.”
