Abstract

Majzlíková focuses on exploring the transformation of global value chains (GVCs) into more regional structures after the mid-2010s. Her research examines the jobs and value added that result from the final demand for manufacturing products in different global regions, with a focus on the major European economies—Germany, Spain, France, the UK and Italy. In addition to the study of offshoring, it examines the growing trend of nearshoring during this period. In the case of European economies, it attempts to estimate intra- and extra-EU offshoring shifts, thus identifying changes in global markets. The chapter is complemented by a focused analysis of the automotive industry to see whether the trend towards regionalisation of production value chains is also present at the industry level.
