9 Preface This book owes its genesis to a working paper by Hausmann and Rodrik (2003) on specialization in trade theory. The paper addressed an intriguing puzzle concerning why particular countries might choose to export particular commodities within their broad area of specialization. Thus, as they put it, within the broad readymade garment sector (RMG), why might Bangladesh specialize in producing hats and Pakistan in producing bedsheets? While the authors addressed this puzzle theoretically, interesting questions about the historical and microinstitutional field details that might complement theoretical answers remained, since economic trade theory is at a very high level of commodity aggregation. In pursuing this issue, the questions of what and why became incidental to, in our view, the more important question of how, once we started to explore the underlying processes during fieldwork. Shortly after reading this working paper, I moved to a visiting professor position at Mount Holyoke College, Massachusetts, and developed a seminar course South Asian Economic Development. Course development once again exposed me to the importance of the textile industry, particularly the garment sector, in the early export successes of low-income countries. I was also impressed with the quality of the research papers presented for the course by some of my students, a couple of them on the textile industry with a focus on the garment sector. It was during this first course offering that I met the five excellent students who later collaborated with me on the country studies: Diva Dhar on India, Mariam Navaid on Pakistan, Manisha Pradhananga on Nepal, Farah Siddique on Bangladesh, and Siyumii Yanthrawaduge on Sri Lanka. A chapter on history and background and another on importer s perspectives were afterthoughts, and I worked respectively with Ashima Singh and Courtney A. Van Cleve on these. I had developed a proposal for a field research study, but was advised by the Mount Holyoke s grants officer to first do a pilot project. Given the quality of student research and the students enthusiasm and energy, it
10 xiv Preface occurred to me that they might be the ideal research partners. They had the training, enthusiasm, country knowledge, and institutional support that more than made up for their lack of experience. I approached faculty members at the department, and they strongly supported the idea and encouraged me to apply for a faculty research grant. The Dean of the Faculty at Mount Holyoke College, Don O Shea, was also very encouraging and solicited a brief synopsis and budget. While the sum I asked for was modest, it was nonetheless much larger than a normal faculty research grant from the Research Committee at the college. Also, the funding solicited was for seniors, and the college did not normally fund senior research after graduation. Nonetheless, the Dean entertained the proposal and funding was secured for project fieldwork. This included air tickets to the five larger South Asian countries and modest field research expenses. The economics department at the college agreed to fund a symposium for the presentation of the country papers. The papers provided plenty of material for what has now become this book. I would like to acknowledge in particular Don O Shea for his flexibility and encouragement and Mount Holyoke College for financial support. I would also like to thank colleagues at the economics department for their encouragement, in particular Jens Christiansen, who has been a consistent and enthusiastic supporter, and Michael Robinson. I would also like to thank Gunseli Berik of the University of Utah for very helpful, detailed, and extensive comments, and the two anonymous reviewers of this book. This is the second book I have worked on with Anthony Wahl as an editor, and one could not ask for a better one, particularly in terms of thoughtfulness and quick feedback. I would like to thank Dawn Larder, senior administrative assistant of the economics department at Mount Holyoke College, for helping in various ways throughout the writing of this book. Finally, thanks to Diva Dhar for taking some excellent photographs during her fieldwork in India, one of which has been used for the cover.
