G–7 and BRICS countries play important roles in the world economy and global politics. The aim of the article is to answer the research question: “How participation of G–7 and BRICS countries in global value chains has been changing since 1995?”. To answer this question global value chains participation indexes were calculated. They were derived from Inter-Country Input-Output Tables. The value-added of this study stems from employing Input-Output Tables delivered by two institutions (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development and Asian Development Bank). Consequently, article presents indexes calculated on the basis of two datasets. Combining two databases enabled to conduct study for quite long period (1995–2022). Analyzing the changes of global value chains participation indexes of G–7 and BRICS countries, we can distinguish following phases of internationalization: period of rapid globalization (1995–2008), global crisis and economic rebound (2009–2011), period of slowbalization somewhat strengthened by coronacrisis (2012–2020), and another recovery (2021–2022). This finding lead us to the conclusion that fast internationalization came to a halt in 2008 and since global financial crisis globalization has been quite slow despite some periods of recovery. Thus, there is an implication for more detailed research on slowbalization – its grounds, tendencies and prospects (whether fast internationalization is possible in the future; what is the role of economic policy in stimulating the pace of globalization).

Globalne łańcuchy wartości (GŁW) stały się nieodłącznym atrybutem krajobrazu gospodarczego Azji Wschodniej, jednym z kluczowych filarów procesów integracji regionalnej i międzynarodowego podziału pracy opartego na fragmentacji i specjalizacji. Głównym celem artykułu jest scharakteryzowanie wpływu pandemii COVID-19 na GŁW w Azji Wschodniej z perspektywy Japonii z wykorzystaniem miesięcznych statystyk handlowych 2020-2021. Opracowanie wskazuje na krótkoterminowy destrukcyjny wpływ na statystyki handlowe z perspektywą poprawy, jednak pod warunkiem stopniowego wygaszania pandemii, efektywnego wykorzystania koncesji Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) w celu pobudzenia handlu GŁW oraz lepszej koordynacji na poziomie regionu w zakresie odpowiedzi na przyszłe kryzysy zdrowotne. Analizie statystycznej towarzyszy analiza krytyczna literatury przedmiotu. Artykuł przedstawia aktualny obraz statystyczny wpływu pandemii COVID-19 na handel wewnątrz RCEP wraz z odniesieniami do prawnych i instytucjonalnych aspektów reakcji poszczególnych krajów na kryzys zdrowotny.

GVCs have become an inherent component of the economic landscape of East Asia, one of the key pillars of the regional integration processes and division of labour based on fragmentation and specialisation. The main objective of the paper was to describe the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on GVCs in East Asia from the perspective of Japan, using monthly trade statistics for 2020-2021. The paper indicates the short-term disruptive impact on trade statistics with the prospect of improvement, however, under conditions of the gradual phasing out of the pandemic, the effective utilisation of RCEP concessions to boost GVC trade, and with the better coordination of the regional response to future health crises. Statistical analysis is accompanied by critical analysis of literature in the field of research. The paper delivers the current statistical picture of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on intra-RCEP trade, accompanied by references to legal and institutional aspects of the response of individual countries to health crisis.
