Description du projet
Revoir notre compréhension des fondements politiques de la mondialisation économique
La mondialisation économique, la circulation généralisée des biens, des capitaux, des services, etc., a d’importantes conséquences sur la politique et les sociétés. Le projet PINPOINT, financé par l’UE, développera un cadre innovant qui s’appuie sur les liens entre les entreprises créés par des réseaux de production nationaux. Il permettra de mieux comprendre le comportement des gouvernements, les préférences des citoyens, et les coalitions politiques face à la mondialisation économique. Le projet cible essentiellement les échanges économiques entre les entreprises afin de définir le comportement des gouvernements, des entreprises et des citoyens dans le contexte des marchés internationaux, ainsi que le rôle des institutions dans ce cadre.
Objectif
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.
