Abstract

The project seeks to examine the effects of the COVID-19 crisis on global value chains in Germany and selected countries in the Global South. Together with international research partners in India and Brazil, the first step will be to analyze the short- and medium-term economic and social effects of the COVID-19 crisis in the automotive and IT-value chains, as well as the policies adopted in reaction to it. The second and main purpose of the project will be to analyze long-term economic and social upgrading or downgrading trajectories, a potential modification of the existing globalization model and a fundamental restructuring of the type(s) of capitalism.
