At this point, a political science view un...

Latecomer sectors in late-industrializing economies follow different patterns in their development and growth processes, which largely determine the share acquired from the global value chain. The development and growth process of the sectors are generally argued to be the result of the interaction of a macro-level specific institutional context (e.g., system of intellectual property rights, la...
