Denmark is part of a 'Global Value Chain', and as such a deep understanding of this process is essential for Danish businesses, the people of Denmark and their policy makers. The continuously progressing international division and reshaping of the global value chain is one of the phenomena captured under the popular heading of globalization. These developments are driven by two major forces. Firstly the actions of national and supranational policy making bodies, such as National Governments, the EU or the WTO and secondly the incentives and actions of national and multinational enterprises. It is in this emerging space of tensions between globalization polices and firm behaviour, that the GlobID research group has positioned its focus.
