Book Description
This paper aims to estimate the effects of the United States-China trade wars of 2018 and onwards as they pertain to the individual stages of global textiles and apparel supply chains. The analysis utilizes data in groupings of different Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HS) Categories to trace where along a hypothetical supply chain did the trade war have a particular effect. This paper serves to add to the foundation of knowledge and literature surrounding the relationship between trade shocks and global supply chains. Over the course of the trade war between the United States and China, key findings would be that the trade war effects were either consistent or inconsistent with expectations of different entities' approach to exporting activities in anticipation of, and during, volatile trade conditions.

Book Description
Threads of Labour presents new empirical research by a network of garment workers' support organizations and makes sense of global supply chains from the bottom up. Presents new empirical research by a network of garment workers' support organizations in ten different locations in Asia, Europe and Mexico. Creates a blueprint for conducting worker-orientated action research in order to better understand and resist the negative impact of globalization on labour. Ensures that workers' voices reach those who are already trying to reconfigure global capitalism in more humane directions. Explores the ways in which workers might begin to develop new forms of organization that are more suited to securing gains in the global garment industry. Bridges the gap between activist and academic research, improving the conversation between these two groups.

Book Description
This book presents a series of studies analyzing critical factors that promote and constrain textile & clothing (T&C) production and trade in the Belt & Road (B&R) countries, and forces that drive the restructuring and transforming of global T&C supply chain and operations in the B&R context. The book also offers insights into the challenges and opportunities for T&C manufacturing in B&R countries through interviews with T&C experts, and also examines how Hong Kong can strengthen its “super-connector” role by facilitating sustainable trade and development in the T&C industries, as well as discussion on the impact of global trade wars on T&C trade. In the studies presented in this book, they offer topics ranging from the macro-economy, international business environment and strategies, logistics and supply chain, policy changes, to sustainability. The studies offer descriptive, theoretical and empirical analyses that explore T&C business and management related opportunities and challenges that are derived from the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Econometric analysis with the gravity model is applied to T&C trade and extended to cover other areas that have not been considered in previous studies, such as production costs, export supply chain costs, technologies, demographical factors, and factors related to the business environment and policies, including qualitative variables. Studies using in-depth interviews and linear regression analysis are also present to explore new factors for T&C trade and production relocation to B&R countries.

Book Description
China has been one of the largest consumer market and will be surpass the United States in the foreseeable future (Nlambassadeorg., 2016). Due to the increasing demands on fashion services and products, China attracts an enormous amount of international investment from the top fashion companies. However, the conventional fashion retailers can hardly cope with the challenge of fast changing trends and demands in the fashion market, whereas the fast fashion, which featured the quick response (QR) to the fashion trend, and the relatively low and affordable price, has rapidly developed and gained reputation from Chinese customers (Hines and Bruce, 2001; Christopher et al., 2004). Since the different cultural, political and economic factors between China and the European countries, where the fast fashion was originated from, the European-based fast fashion companies inevitably encounter the novel challenge of supply chain management (SCM). The empirical study on China’s fashion market provides insights for these companies to overcome such problems and challenges. Meanwhile, Chinese local fast fashion companies could also adjust their business strategies and priorities based on the unique conditions of the Chinese market. Therefore, it is highly important to study how to construct the agile supply chains (ASCs) for fast fashion companies in China from the managerial perspective. In addition, studying the ASC in fast fashion will also extend current research on SCM, especially in the field of supply chain agility (SCA) and flexibility. Although SCA is commonly regarded as the critical factor that affects the companies’ competitiveness, especially in the field of fast fashion, the research on such topics is still insufficient (Tse et al., 2016; Fayezi et al., 2016). Haq and Boddu (2015) have used the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) to analyse the ASC enabler for the food industries. And they also call for a wider discussion on the field of ASCM in different countries or different industries. Therefore, the thesis aims to identify and prioritise the key enablers for constructing ASC in China’s fast fashion industry. By analysing the current studies on agile supply chain management (ASCM), the thesis identifies 21 enablers that could help to construct ASCs. The data is collected by a survey from the department managers and employees who are currently employed by fast fashion companies located in China. To prioritise the 21 enablers, the thesis initially categorizes the enablers into 5 major categories, namely the strategic management (SM), the collaborative management (CM), the information management (IM), the manufacturing management (MM), and the market sensitivity (MS) (Haq and Boddu, 2015). Then, the thesis applies the AHP, which is widely used in the decision-making process, to prioritise the 21 enablers, and to identify the key enablers (Saaty, 1980). Through the identification of the critical ASC enablers, the thesis suggests that the fashion companies should transform their business strategies from forecast-based or inventory-based model to information-based or network-based model. And also the fast fashion companies located in China should effectively allocate resources on various enablers.

Book Description
With the rise of China as a global economic powerhouse and its reach for influence beyond its borders, countries located along the historic Silk Road are experiencing dramatic changes. China's ambitious One Belt, One Road development initiative aspires to connect the People's Republic to the rest of Eurasia; and in addition to fostering economic growth in the vast region, its strategic intent is to give China a geopolitical advantage on the entire landmass. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how the physical and human geography of the land-based Silk Road Economic Belt is influencing, and will influence, the textile and apparel supply chain and, with it, economic relations among several participating countries -- China, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran, Turkey, and Italy. In addition, this paper argues why China's influence over the Eurasian textiles supply chain can be its greatest geopolitical advantage -- even more so than its control over abundant fossil fuel resources.
