Internationally fragmented nature of production has led to the emergence of Global Value Chains (GVCs). This has opened up the opportunities for emerging market economies like India to increase their presence in international trade in spite of not having any intrinsic comparative advantage because with GVCs, countries just have to focus on specializing in specific production stages and not on producing an entire product. This article presents a brief review of the studies that used the country-level data derived from international input-output tables to investigate the determinants of GVC participation. The paper discusses several policy, non-policy and institutional factors along with certain firm related factors which are highlighted in GVC literature as key drivers of countries’ GVC engagement. It was found that impact of different factors on the degree and level of GVC participation differ significantly by region, country, sector, time, and the modes of integration (forward or backward).
