Summary: Chapter 1. Introduction -- Chapter 2. Conceptual framework -- Chapter 3. Research design -- Chapter 4. Cities as regional nodes in global value chains: The example of the oil and gas industry in Southeast Asia -- Chapter 5. An intermediate step to resource peripheries: The strategic coupling of gateway cities in the upstream oil and gas GPN -- Chapter 6. Filtering strategic coupling: territorial intermediaries in oil and gas global production networks in Southeast Asia -- Chapter 7. Concluding discussion -- AppendixSummary: This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the role of gateway cities in contemporary circuits of global production. Apart from facilitating the interlinking of economic activities in the surrounding regions with the global economy, gateway cities have enormous implications for how certain regions participate in the global economy. Based on a case study of the oil and gas industry in Southeast Asia the book maps gateway cities, explores why these cities have come to occupy a gateway role, and evaluates their implications for regional economic development. To this aim, the book links components from research on the World City Network with Global Production Network research and demonstrates how this intersection creates synergies for studying the role of cities in economic globalization. The main audiences that this book appeals to are researchers and students interested in debates on regional development and the role of cities in the global economy. The book is also attractive to scholars interested in the organization of extractive industriesPPN: PPN: 1666735019Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-EES | ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SXEE
