PhD Defense: Juliane Lang

In order to obtain the PhD degree, Juliane Lang has submitted her thesis entitled:

Win-win for whom? Power and inequality in the Chilean wine and farmed salmon value chain.

Global Value Chains (GVCs) are often heralded as providing win-win solutions for economic development. This is contrasted by a growing body of research pointing to hidden social and environmental costs of GVCs, and their contributions to inequality – globally and within countries of the Global South. Drawing on case studies of the Chilean wine and farmed salmon value chains, this dissertation provides a guiding analytical approach to inequality in GVCs and gives insight into three mechanisms of value (re)distribution through which power in GVCs creates and reproduces inequalities.

The thesis will be available from research.cbs.dk
