More than two-thirds of the world’s trade and production is conducted by multinational corporations and takes place in cross-border supply chains (global value chains, GVC). This figure reflects the magnitude of the ubiquity of such systems. Global (cross-border) supply chains have attracted a lot of attention from business and political circles, academic scholars – economists and sociologists. However, legal scholars have remained aloof from these debates. The article integrates the concept of cross-border supply chains (global value chains) into domestic legal scholarship. From the legal point of view, a supply chain is a multilevel (modular) system of contracts subordinated to a single goal and designed to centralize, organize and coordinate the flow of production, supply and service processes in the international business turnover. An important feature of such contractual systems is their role as an intermediary in the dissemination of foreign legal norms, norms of non-state legal regulation, private standards and in the legitimization of social norms.
