| Abstract | |
The global productive structure has undergone great changes. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, there was an intense fragmentation and geographical dispersion of production stages. Despite this dispersion, the higher value-added activities of the productive networks remain concentrated in only a few cities, which play different roles in different productive networks. Based on these considerations, this thesis analyzed the role of cities as strategic locations for the coupling of countries and regions to global production networks, addressing the case of Rio de Janeiro, in the context of the South American cities, highlighting the role that the city plays in the coupling to the oil and gas network. To do so, we used several databases, interviews and applied the network methodology. The results show that the city of Rio de Janeiro stands out among the cities of South America, performing several functions, especially the knowledge generation, a high value added activity, which allows greater value capture. This prominent role, comparing to other cities in the region, is strongly linked to the fact that Petrobras is headquartered in Rio de Janeiro (AU) | |
