Description 1 online resource (xiv, 191 pages) Contents Research Question, Conceptual Framework and Background -- The Textiles and Readymade Garments Industry in South Asia: A Brief History and Re-emergence -- The Readymade Garment Sector in Bangladesh -- The Readymade Garment Sector in India -- The Readymade Garment Sector in Nepal -- The Readymade Garment Sector in Pakistan -- The Readymade Garment Sector in Sri Lanka -- Synthesis and Conclusion Summary Neo-classical economic trade theory suggests that countries on an aggregate level specialize in products that are consistent with their particular advantages and this book suggests that the predictions of the theory are broadly borne out. However, this theory is cast on a very aggregate level such as textiles and steel and the theory provides little guidance on process. Thus, there is little one learns from the theory about business, structural, and institutional practices that make a particular country more successful than others even if their broad comparative advantage is similar. Similarly, one learns little about the various forms of critical linkages or partnerships, backward and forward (induced by industrial policy or spontaneous), public-private, domestic-foreign (in a value chain context), South-South, and intra-cluster or sector that result in export success and failure in the garment industry in South Asia Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 171-179) and index Notes Print version record Subject Clothing trade -- South Asia -- Case studies Exports -- South Asia -- Case studies BUSINESS & ECONOMICS -- International -- Marketing.
