Abstract
This research aims to investigate the characteristics of Taiwanese IT production networks’ trans-border extension in China as well as exploring the host regions’ institutional transformation. We take the major Taiwanese PC system and electronic peripheral/component companies as cases to investigate the dynamics and mechanisms of organizational rearrangement of the production networks’ geographical extension, including Taiwanese MNCs’ internal division/ integration of labor, the influence on the inter-firms transaction of the supply architecture, and the alteration/revision of the commodity chains’ power relations. Moreover, the transplantation of the production systems always generates complicated interaction with the host localities. As a result, how the flexible production systems of Taiwanese IT industry splice China’s post-socialist regime, how the local governments regulate the impacts in the context of economic restructuring and build new local institutions is another important issue. The comparative study of the land property right regime in Dongguan and Suzhou would be beneficial to understand the trajectories of different “local institutional regimes” in China. Above all, the significance of this research lies in investigating the characteristics of Taiwanese PC production networks and the influenced patterns of urban-regional development from the perspective of economic globalization, and exploring the institutional transformation of the post-socialist local state’s territorial governance from the perspective of China studies. Finally, by integrating these two approaches, this research will provide intense analysis and theoretical dialogue.
