​Export Success and Industrial Linkages

The Case of Readymade Garments in South Asia
​This book uses an analysis of the garment industry in South Asia to uphold the predictions of neo-classical economic trade theory, but suggest that there is little to learn from it about business, structural, and institutional practices or critical linkages and partnerships.
Moving beyond the theoretical grandstanding that has characterized the study of industrial development for years, this book provides a detailed and unbiased picture of how industries really develop, using the case of the textiles and ready-made garment industry in South Asia.

This book looks at first glance to be a narrow study of the ready-made garment industry in several South Asian countries. Do not be deceived. The empirics illuminate some of the biggest issues of world development ​
