Chapter Three examines the regional development effects of foreign direct investment in the integrated peripheries of the automotive industry by analyzing supplier linkages between foreign subsidiaries and domestic firms. It develops the spatial concept of integrated peripheries in core-based transnational production networks to explain the rapid growth of the automotive industry in Europe’s peripheral regions. Conceptually, it draws on the dynamic notion of uneven development in contemporary capitalism. Namely, it draws on the concept of spatiotemporal fix and on the global production networks concept of strategic coupling to investigate the mode of articulation of integrated peripheries into transnational macroregional production networks. Empirically, it analyzes the quantity and quality of supplier linkages in the automotive industry of Slovakia. The empirical analysis uncovered weak and dependent supplier linkages between foreign subsidiaries and domestic firms, which limits the potential for technology transfer and undermines potentially positive long-term regional development effects of large foreign direct investment by automotive industry corporations.
