abstract="This article examines how global value chains (GVCs) have shaped a world factory regime, based on the case study of the Foxconn group in Shenzhen, China. We identify three features that characterize a world factory regime: the GVCs' impacts, the fragmented structure of corporate governance, and workplace despotism, and propose a concept of &quot; global fragmented despotism&quot; to explain changing labor conditions, workers' suicides and resistance uncovered in Foxconn since 2010.
