Descripción del proyecto
Revisar nuestra comprensión de los fundamentos políticos de la globalización económica
La globalización económica, el movimiento generalizado de bienes, capitales, servicios, etc., tiene enormes consecuencias para la política y las sociedades. El equipo del proyecto PINPOINT, financiado con fondos europeos, elaborará un marco innovador basado en los vínculos entre empresas creados por redes de producción nacionales. Esto ayudará a fomentar una mejor comprensión del comportamiento del Gobierno, las preferencias de los ciudadanos y las coaliciones políticas sobre la globalización económica. El proyecto se centra principalmente en los intercambios económicos entre las empresas para determinar el comportamiento de los Gobiernos, las empresas y los ciudadanos en el contexto de los mercados internacionales, así como el papel de las instituciones en dicho entorno.
Objetivo
What are the political sources and consequences of economic globalization, and how do political institutions shape globalization? Current frameworks for understanding the politics over economic globalization emphasize a fragmentation of politics: political conflict breaks down to individual firms and citizens, because the gains from trade are concentrated on large, globally engaged, and politically active firms. Departing from this view, PINPOINT develops an innovative framework built on the linkages between firms created by domestic production networks. Production ties imply a much broader impact of economic globalization, because many domestic firms interact with international markets indirectly as suppliers and as customers of globally engaged firms. Moreover, these linkages vary in quantity and quality. To date, we know surprisingly little about the role of production networks in politics, which creates a mismatch between the structure of modern economies and current theoretical frameworks. Ignoring such ties risks misattributing the impact of economic globalization, overlooking economic roots of political coalitions, and misunderstanding the sources and consequences of economic globalization. PINPOINT places economic exchange between firms front and center in an account of the behavior of governments, firms, and citizens in the context of international markets, and of the role of institutions in such an account. PINPOINT will provide theoretical and empirical innovations that lead to a revised understanding of the political underpinnings of economic globalization and of the mechanisms through which institutions shape economic globalization.
