Key Findings
1
Case studies of athletic footwear, Chilean produce, automobiles, and cocaine demonstrate how commodity chains integrate marketing, consumption, national industries, and transnational drug politics.
2
Comparative analyses connect commodity chains to post-Fordist flexibility, the new spatial division of labor, and industrial restructuring across the Pacific Rim and Global South.
3
Historical studies trace commodity-chain patterns in the capitalist world-economy before 1800, including shipbuilding and grain flour chains from 1590 to 1790.
4
The contributions examine how buyer-driven firms, especially U.S. retailers and apparel companies, shape overseas production networks and global manufacturing.
5
The volume analyzes commodity chains as organizing structures linking production, distribution, consumption, and global capitalist development.
