The study of global divisions of labour; production as instituted process; regional worlds of production, and the dynamic network/territory interface. ‘Changing geographies of production are a product of the inter-play of (inter alia) corporate, state, and trades union strategies, as companies pursue profitability, trades unions and workers seek new employment and/or protect existing jobs, and states attempt to balance the pursuit of accumulation in their territory with the claims of equity and socio-spatial justice’ (Hudson TIBG (2002) 27, 262). Coe, PHG 36, 3, 389 provides a really useful A-Z of the distinguishing features of Global Production Network analysis.
