生产连结相关之理论比较:从"权力关系"取径研究生产网络的重要性

近十年来，国际上已有许多学者从“权力关系”的角度加以研究生产网络的过程，如：Dicken所提出的生产链之概念，及Gereffi的全球商品链，与Henderson et al．提出之全球生产网络……等理论，皆开始重视探讨生产过程中各阶段关键作用者(agent)之间互动的重要性。近今这些不同但核心概念相似的理论，让我们意识到一个问题：到底从权力关系取径的角度，对于生产链接过程或产业聚集的研究，有何重要意义?对于一般讨论产品生产过程的地理研究，又可以多补足哪些观点?本文即从一般常用处理产品生产链接的两个相关理论——价值链与产品周期理论的意涵内容出发，比较其与“权力关系”取径二者之间解释生产链接过程的差异与优劣，并试图了解从“权力关系”观点，对于地理学研究产业之生产过程的重要性与意义，此为本文目的。

Comparison of Theories about Production Network: the Importance of Power Relation

In recent ten years, there have been a lot of theories about the global production with viewpoint ol power relations, such as commodity chain ( Dicken, 1998) , global commodity chain ( Gereffi, 1989) and the global production network (Henderson et al. , 2002) etc. . The plenty ol theories with similar core concepts make me want to know what the significance and meanings represent in research on power relationship in Geography. Thus, the aim of this paper is to compare the general theories about production network-especially in added value chain and product cycle theory, with those in power relation perspective. Consequently, it attempts to find out different merits and flaws between these dimensions, and to understand why research on power relationship in Geography is important.
