全球生产网络中的社会升级——一个制度视角的阐释

Social Upgrading in Global Production Networks: An Institutional Perspective

全球生产网络(GPNs)通过在全球范围内组织生产和分配从而对区域和国家经济产生重要影响,对GPNs中社会升级的研究主要是在劳动力从经济主体到社会主体延伸条件下对其综合福利的动态考察。文章构建了一个包含微观经济、国内政治、国际行为者与工人权利之间的运行框架,从制度的角度评估了GPNs、政治经济变迁与社会升级之间的关系。无论社会升级是否内生于经济升级,完善劳动力标准、增强劳动者能力和利用国内外相关利益组织提升劳动者福利均是社会升级完成的重要保障。

Global Production Networks （GPNs） may have a great impact on regional and national economy and society through their production and distribution effects. The study of social upgrading in GPNs is in fact the synthesis investigation on the wealth of labors who have transformed from economic agents to social agents. The paper constructs a framework that includes microeconomic, domestic political and international actors and the power of workers to evaluate the relationships between the external variables and outcome variables （social upgrading）. Whether social upgrading is endogenous of economic upgrading or not, improving labor standards, enhancing labor capability and optimizing labor wealth by using relational organizations are the important safeguards to implement social upgrading.
