1 Global Production Networks: Debates and Challenges

Abstract

within the School of Environment and Development at the University of Manchester. The group comprises: Gavin Bridge, Noel Castree, Neil Coe, Peter Dicken, Martin Hess, Jennifer Johns, Erik Swyngedouw and Kevin Ward, along with approximately ten PhD students. GPERG is a well established geography research group at the University of Manchester. Members of the group share a common commitment to political economy in analysing spatial and temporal unevenness as well as environmental change. Recognising economic life as geographically constituted, and capitalism as a highly variegated and differentiated system, we focus on how space, place, scale and the biophysical world are integral to economic and social processes. Conceptualising states, corporations, labour and ‘nature’ as interconnected actors, our research examines the conditions under which new economic geographies are produced, and the social, political and environmental possibilities to which they give rise. Our research is organised into four areas: corporate networks, governance, nature and resources, and work and employment.
