Abstract

Das Ziel dieses Textes ist es, die in der Global City Forschung bislang wenig untersuchten Steuerungsfunktionen von unternehmensorientierten Dienstleistungsfirmen in den Mittelpunkt zu rücken. Dazu werden Global Cities als Governance-Knoten von Wertschöpfungsketten konzeptualisiert. Auf der empirischen Ebene wird am Beispiel der klassischen Megacity Mexico City argumentiert, dass auch Städte des „Globalen Südens“ als solche Orte weltwirtschaftlicher Steuerung fungieren.
