Cadeias globais de valor e inserção da indústria brasileira no processo produtivo mundial

Abstract

The present study aims to analyze the integration of the Brazilian economy into Global Value Chains (GVCs) in light of the new global production configuration, considering its added value and technological intensity. Globalization and the advancement of capitalism have transformed the dynamics of production chains, making the interconnection between countries and companies essential for economic development. GVCs encompass a complex global network of companies and subsidiaries that cooperate in various stages of production, from logistics to research and development. However, recent events, such as the war in Ukraine and the Covid-19 pandemic, have exposed vulnerabilities in GVCs, highlighting the need for adaptation and resilience. The research focuses on the strategies that companies and governments have adopted to face unpredictable challenges and ensure operational continuity. In the Brazilian context, the role of the country as a commodity supplier and its potential to advance in the global production chain is discussed. Using a qualitative and exploratory approach, the research combines bibliographic and documentary review to provide a deep understanding of global dynamics and the competitiveness of Brazilian industry. The conclusions emphasize the importance of public industrial policies that promote the strengthening and innovation of the national industry in the international arena.
