- Value chains, neoliberalism and development practice: The Indonesian experience (2014, methodology): “Subsequent policy papers, authored, like the UNIDO report, by independent researchers rather than by inhouse agency staff, were published by the Inter-American Development Bank (Pietrobelli and Rabellotti, 2004), Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ) (Stamm, 2004; Humphrey, 2005)”
- Upgrading in Global Value Chains: Lessons from Latin American Clusters (2005, background): “Indeed, extensive evidence on Latin America reveals that both the local and the global dimensions matter, and firms often participate in clusters as well as in value chains (Pietrobelli & Rabellotti, 2004).”
