Zusammenfassung
Das Ziel dieses Textes ist es, die in der Global City Forschung bislang wenig untersuchten Steuerungsfunktionen von unternehmensorientierten Dienstleistungsfirmen in den Mittelpunkt zu rücken. Dazu werden Global Cities als Governance-Knoten von Wertschöpfungsketten konzeptualisiert. Auf der empirischen Ebene wird am Beispiel der klassischen Megacity Mexico City argumentiert, dass auch Städte des „Globalen Südens“ als solche Orte weltwirtschaftlicher Steuerung fungieren.
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to focus on the control functions of producer service companies, which so far have received only little attention in global city research. To this end, I conceptualize global cities as nodes of governance in value chains. On the empirical level, I take the classical megacity Mexico City as a case and argue that also cities of the “Global South” assume functions of global economic governance.
