“…The construction of the B&R regional value chain improves the overall resource allocation efficiency, achieves higher input–output efficiency, improves the level of the domestic value chain and drives the transformation and upgrading of its domestic industrial structure (Bashir et al, 2021; Ge et al, 2020). However, most of the research on regional value chain analysis from the perspective of value‐added trade is still mainly carried out by major countries such as China or the United States (Fan et al, 2019). Therefore, under the background that the B&R initiative has received extensive attention and positive responses along the route, exploring the B&R regional value chain from the perspective of added value is crucial to accurately understand the real benefits of countries in the B&R and providing references for other regional initiatives.…”

This paper constructs a regional value chain network based on complex network analysis, and analyses its structural features and dynamic evolution process. The results show that at the macro level, the scales of the domestic trade value‐added (DVA) network and foreign trade value‐added (FVA) network of the ‘Belt and Road’ (B&R) show an expanding pattern over time. Moreover, the core‐periphery analysis shows that the network exhibits a vivid core‐periphery structure. Then, community analysis reveals that the network has prominent characteristics of regional agglomeration. After 2005, the division of communities tended to be stable, and the representative countries of the DVA network and FVA network communities differed. Finally, at the individual level, as for degree centrality and strength centrality, China, Russia and Thailand are all the cores in the DVA network, while India, an emerging economy, shows increases in the breadth and depth of relations and becomes more important. In the FVA network, Singapore and Russia are more significant. As for PageRank centrality, Russia, Singapore, China and India are all the cores in the DVA network and FVA network, but for betweenness centrality, the core countries that play the ‘bridge’ role in the DVA network and FVA network are not unified.

“…Vidya et al [16] note that regionalisation is often dominated by developed countries and regions. Southeast Asian regional production patterns have been increasingly examined; where the prominent role of China in the region, and the wider global trading system has given rise to Southeast Asia being at the centre of global regionalisation patterns in the world economy [17,18]. Athukorala [19] finds that the rise of global value chains and the fragmentation of the production process has shaped regionalisation patterns in East Asia.…”

This study provides an analysis of the UK's role in the automotive sector, focusing on the trading relationship of the UK within and between regions. It additionally provides an examination of the countries that hold equivalent trading positions to the UK in various segments of the automotive sector. The results indicate a high level of integration with Europe & Central Asia; outside the region, there appears to be a trend towards sourcing inputs from East Asia & Pacific, along with the Middle East & North Africa acting as an export destination. The equivalence analysis results provide a set of nations that could reposition themselves to gain from the UK's departure from the European Union. Amongst them are traditional key European players in the sector, along with Eastern European nations, which have been developing key strengths within the sector in recent years.
