Global Cities and the Governance of Commodity Chains: A Case study from Latin America

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

The authors seek to specify the relationship between global city formation and the deepening of global integration with a case study on financial service providers. Using stock-market transaction data, they have analysed the involvement of (local and global) finance institutions in bond and share issues of the 50 top ranked Mexican and Chilean enterprises. With the initial empirical investigation on financial service intermediaries that provide services to leading corporations in Mexico and in Chile they take a first step to specify how the two firm-based, trans-state networks – global city and production networks – relate.
