Biography
Dr. Suwandi's areas of specialization include international political economy, global development, economic imperialism, labor, and social stratification. Her book, Value Chains: The New Economic Imperialism (Monthly Review Press, 2019), examines the exploitation of labor that continues to occur in the global South, particularly under the domination of multinational firms emanating primarily from the global North, despite the complexities and decentralization that characterize global value chains in today’s world economy.
