Global value chains (GVCs) have been quickly developed and extended since the 1990s. GVC growth is often seen as one of the main reasons behind the rapid growth of international trade but it has been slowed down since the financial crisis in 2008 particularly due to the decline in overall economic growth, the rising protectionism and intensifying trade tension as well as the Covid-19 pandemic. The pandemic-determined GVC disruption especially in the first half year of 2020 induced many countries to think about whether moving away from GVCs and relying more on national or regional inputs and value chains may help firms and countries to be better protected from foreign shocks[...]

The ubiquitous “Made in China” label epitomizes China’s transformation from a virtual autarky in the 1970s to a veritable exporting powerhouse in little more than a generation. This transformation arguably owes much to the country’s ever-increasing integration in global value chains. This has undoubtedly been helped by policy. As early as the mid-1980s China introduced special “processing trade” schemes in an attempt to boost exports. The hallmark of this scheme is that there are tariff-exemptions on imported inputs as long as these are only processed in the country and then re-exported. Domestic sales of these processed goods are, in general, not permitted[...]

Growth in global value chains (GVCs) is often seen as one of the main reasons behind the rapid increase of international trade that is widely recognised as a key driver of economic growth, poverty reduction and societal development. However, this does not mean that everyone can to some extent comparably benefit from the increasing international trade.

The COVID-19 pandemic is a huge challenge for all aspects of human lives – locally, nationally but also globally. With respect to the global economy, the COVIC-19 pandemic has clearly demonstrated how
vulnerable global supply chains can be in the face of global shocks. The severe pandemic-determined global supply chain disruptions particularly in the first half year of 2020 has triggered political and public discussions worldwide about whether there is increasing national need for economic self-sufficiency and about the role of potential business reshoring in this regard. There have been also such debates and discussions in Germany[...]
