After the May 2009 London Summit of the Group of Twenty, the World Bank assembled researchers and trade policy practitioners to analyze responses to the 2008-09 global economic crisis. A first volume focused on government responses, and this second concerns business responses. Nine papers cover resilience, consolidation, and shifting end markets in global value chains in a postcrisis world; the crisis and trends in global trade, demand, and production; and sectoral perspectives on global value chains and developing countries postcrisis. The sectors analyzed are apparel, automobiles, electronics, timber, and offshore services. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
