摘要

20世纪90年代以来，跨国公司地方嵌入研究相对聚焦于资本密集型或技术密集型企业，而需要大量非熟练工人的劳动密集型跨国企业并未引起足够关注，建立在产业联系、技术外溢、社会网络等核心概念基础上的跨国公司地方嵌入分析框架很显然不能很好地解释劳动密集型跨国公司地方嵌入的理论与实践问题。在劳工地理学、新经济地理学等学科背景下，基于全球生产网络、关系嵌入、空间修复等核心概念，研究分别从劳工能动性的空间尺度、跨国公司地方嵌入的劳工要素、劳工管控对跨国公司的地方嵌入、区域劳工景观的空间修复等视角出发，系统梳理相关研究进展并提出未来主要研究议题，包括如何识别劳工供需因素对跨国公司地方嵌入的影响机制，如何剖析特殊劳工管控体制下劳工空间实践与能动性的关系，如何刻画跨国公司地方嵌入对区域劳工经济地理景观的影响，如何总结跨国公司地方嵌入与区域发展的战略耦合模式等。

Abstract

Local embeddedness of transnational corporations (TNCs) within global production networks (GPNs) deserves academic attention. Most current studies on the embeddedness of TNCs have focused on industrial linkages, technological spillovers, and social network, whereas labor market has not been given due attention. Under the background of labor geography, new economic geography and other disciplines, based on the core concepts of global production network, local embeddedness, spatial fis, etc, the study also examines the impact of TNCs' local labor network on economic geographical landscape of regional labor, reveals the local embeddedness of mechanisms TNCs in local labor market, and explores the strategic coupling paths between the local embeddedness of labor market and regional development. In the future, the main research topics may include how to identify the mechanisms of labor supply and demand factors on local embeddedness of multinational companies, how to analyze the relationship between labor space practice and initiative under the special labor control system, how to depict the impact of the local embeddedness of multinational companies on regional labor economic geographical landscape, and how to summarize the strategic coupling mode of local embeddedness and regional development of multinational companies.
