Abstract: Abstract Two major forces are promoting dramatic change in the prospective international division of labor in garments and textiles.1 Producers in the NICs are now looking over their shoulders at nascent garment and textile export operations in the newly-invigorated economies of the Asian population giants — China, India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. Concurrently with this increase in wage-based competition, sophisticated microelectronics-based systems for garment and textile production and marketing are emerging in the OECD economies.
