This study investigates the decoupling of Ukrainian aerospace, defense and electro-engineering industries resulting from the Russian Crimean annexation in 2014. Conceptually, we contribute to global value chain/global production network research by developing the notion of geopolitical decoupling, thus augmenting the existing 2-fold typology. Moreover, the article elaborates a typology of recoupling. Empirically, we investigate patterns of decoupling from Russia and recoupling via alternative production networks as well as patterns of decoupling/recoupling according to the position of companies in the production hierarchy. We found a neat pattern of decoupling from Russia according to tier but profoundly different dynamics of recoupling with the European Union and Asia.

地缘政治脱钩和全球生产网络：2014 年吞并克里米亚后乌克兰工业的案例

本研究调查了 2014 年俄罗斯吞并克里米亚导致乌克兰航空航天、国防和电子工程行业脱钩。从概念上讲，我们通过发展地缘政治脱钩的概念，为全球价值链/全球生产网络研究做出贡献，从而增强现有的 2 -折叠类型学。此外，本文还阐述了重新耦合的类型学。根据经验，我们研究了与俄罗斯脱钩和通过替代生产网络重新耦合的模式，以及根据公司在生产层次结构中的位置进行脱钩/重新耦合的模式。我们发现了一种与俄罗斯脱钩的巧妙模式，但与欧盟和亚洲重新脱钩的动力却截然不同。
