Stine Haakonsson

Her research focuses on the current restructuring of industries and firms at the global level (outsourcing, offshoring, engagement in global value chains). In particular, it examines the restructuring of innovation and R&D activities into global innovation networks (GINs), the role of emerging markets (China, India, Brazil, South Africa) in these emerging GINs, and the consequences of these new network constructs for the EU and the emerging markets respectively. The research also addresses technology transfer and capability building related to renewable energy. In addition, she studies the institutional frameworks governing globalisation processes (World Trade Organisation — e.g. the TRIPs Agreement, UNFCCC, World Bank) and their impact on the globalisation of knowledge-intensive industries.
