New developments in international policies related to trade and investment and falling barriers to trade worldwide as well as within individual regional communities have transformed the structure of production and global competition in the textile and apparel industries across the world. Furthermore, with the incorporation of textile trade in the GATT framework following the removal of quantitative restrictions, and the subsequent liberalization of investment opportunities, the Indian market is now home to several international brands, which has led to the present upsurge of FDI in this very important sector of the Indian economy. The book closely examines the nature and impact of such external changes on the industry?s structure and labour-related issues. The key feature of this book is that it presents a snapshot of all the domestic and international policies related to this sector, from the earliest relevant period to the present, and analyses the topical issues in significant detail. The book also offers some empirical analyses to show the impact of external changes on the concentration of firms in this industry and the regional inequalities that have emerged from regional variations in firms? employment, labour-income and profit levels.  Further, it addresses another striking feature, namely the role of preferential trading blocs or Regional Trading Arrangements (RTA) in creating trade-diverting effects related to this sector apart from the implications of foreign collaborations and cross-border mergers and acquisitions. Many economists fear that the benefits of these RTAs for the partner countries are much greater than those for India, with net gains of incremental exports from India being small or even negative. This book discusses these critical issues in the context of India?s textile and apparel trade. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Economics,$x2191-5504 606 $aTrade 606 $aBusiness 606 $aCommerce 606 $aInternational economics 606 $aLabor economics 606 $aGlobalization 606 $aMarkets 606 $aIndustrial organization 606 $aTrade$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/527010 606 $aInternational Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W33000 606 $aLabor Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W37000 606 $aEmerging Markets/Globalization$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/525010 606 $aIndustrial Organization$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W31010 615 0$aTrade. 615 0$aBusiness. 615 0$aCommerce. 615 0$aInternational economics. 615 0$aLabor economics. 615 0$aGlobalization. 615 0$aMarkets. 615 0$aIndustrial organization. 615 14$aTrade. 615 24$aInternational Economics. 615 24$aLabor Economics. 615 24$aEmerging Markets/Globalization. 615 24$aIndustrial Organization. 676 $a330 676 $a331 676 $a337 676 $a338.6 676 $a381 700 $aKar$b Mausumi$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01064028 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298491803321 996 $aThe Indian Textile and Clothing Industry$92535934 997 $aUNINA
