CGGC Now Duke University Global Value Chains Center

For a decade Duke's Center for Globalization, Governance and Competitiveness (CGGC), under the leadership of Professor Gary Gereffi, has directed research on global trade patterns that has been valuable to scholars and policymakers alike. The center is now changing its name to reflect its focus on global value chains, which traces the production, marketing and sale of items across national boundaries, one of the hallmark of a globalized economy.

Below, Gereffi discusses the name change and the center's accomplishments.
