The changing patterns of production and trade in fibres, textiles
and clothing provide a classic case study of the dynamics of our
interdependent world economy. For centuries Asia supplied the
textile factories of Europe with natural fibres, including silk
from East Asia exports virtually no natural fibres and instead is
the world's most important exporter of manufactured textile
products and chief importer of fibres. New Silk Roads, first
published in 1992, demonstrates that despite the import barriers
erected by advanced economies, textiles and clothing production
continues to serve as an engine of growth for developing economies
seeking to export their way out of poverty. This book is based on
selected papers given at a conference which discussed East Asia's
role in world fibre, textile and clothing markets. It draws on
trade and development theory as well as on historical evidence to
trace the development of these changing markets, which are now
dominated by the newly industrialized economies of Korea, Taiwan
and Hong Kong and, increasingly, China and Thailand.
