Abstract

The title of this book tells us that it is about the role of East Asian production networks in the interconnected worlds of global electronics. Yeung further explains that it is also about the global shift in electronics to East Asia since the 2000s, and further elaborates that he is providing a theory to explain “ this coevolutionary transformation in geographi-cal con ﬁ gurations and its underlying organizational innovations and competitive dynamics that constitute the interconnected worlds of global electronics ” (p. 30). He goes on to explain that network dynamics are less governed by preexisting institutions and are “ mostly driven by the competitive network logics of seeking cost ef ﬁ ciency, market access, ﬁ nancial and capital gain and risk mitigation through the innovative (re)con ﬁ guring of their production networks ” (p. 93). While adding a surprising caveat that including semiconductors “ may stand out as a rather unusual segment ” (p. 11), the book provides an excellent analysis of semiconductors in the information and communication technology sector.

互联世界:东亚的全球电子和生产网络

这本书的标题告诉我们，它是关于东亚生产网络在全球电子互联世界中的作用。杨进一步解释说，这也是关于自2000年代以来电子产品向东亚的全球转移，并进一步阐述他正在提供一种理论来解释“地理配置中的这种共同进化转变及其潜在的组织创新和竞争动态，构成了全球电子产品的互联世界”(第30页)。他接着解释说，网络动态较少受到先前存在的机构的支配，而“主要是由寻求成本效率、市场准入、金融和资本收益以及通过创新(重新)配置其生产网络来降低风险的竞争性网络逻辑驱动的”(第93页)。虽然该书还添加了一个令人惊讶的警告，即包括半导体“可能会成为一个相当不寻常的领域”(第11页)，但该书对信息和通信技术领域的半导体进行了出色的分析。

期刊介绍： Economic Geography is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing original research that advances the field of economic geography. Their goal is to publish high-quality studies that are both theoretically robust and grounded in empirical evidence, contributing to our understanding of the geographic factors and consequences of economic processes. It welcome submissions on a wide range of topics that provide primary evidence for significant theoretical interventions, offering key insights into important economic, social, development, and environmental issues. To ensure the highest quality publications, all submissions undergo a rigorous peer-review process with at least three external referees and an editor. Economic Geography has been owned by Clark University since 1925 and plays a central role in supporting the global activities of the field, providing publications and other forms of scholarly support. The journal is published five times a year in January, March, June, August, and November.
