| Sommario/riassunto: | This scholarly work examines the intersections of global production networks (GPNs) and regional economies, with a focus on the apparel industry in Eastern and Central Europe. It explores how economic geography, state policies, trade regulations, and historical legacies influence the dynamics of capital, labor, and industrial trajectories in global production systems. The book provides a detailed analysis of transitions in the apparel sector, including the shift from state socialist production models to export-oriented economies, the impact of trade agreements, and the emergence of low-cost production hubs. It also addresses issues of labor conditions, firm restructuring, and cultural economies within regional markets. Intended for academics, policymakers, and industry professionals, the book aims to deepen understanding of industrial upgrading, economic transitions, and the role of state and market interactions in shaping regional economic futures. |
