Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The goal of this paper is twofold: first, it is to add to the growing number of works seeking to extend the concept of global commodity chains (GCC�s) to service work; second, it is to go beyond these existing works by arguing the relatively few studies that have sought to extend the GCC framework to service work have missed a crucial point in their investigations: given that the unique perspective of GCC analysis relies on its taking the of the commodity as the unit of analysis, and that in service work it is the service workers who are, or are at least a central part of, the commodity being sold since it is these workers who enact this service (and without whom there would be no service), then a global commodity chain analysis of service work should focus on tracing the �production� of the service providers. To demonstrate this extension of the GCC framework to the case of service providers, where service work increasingly takes place in a global environment, I will focus on the �production� of two specific types of service work providers - care providers and flight attendants. In both cases, I show that the GCC framework with its focus on process and its multidimensional perspective is a useful tool for studying the multiplicity of national and international factors involved in producing these service workers. I also show how using the GCC framework allows us to see what I will call �territorial incongruencies� produced in global service work.
