The dissertation examines the effects of Cambodia's accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) on its textiles and apparel industry considering them from the economic, labour and welfare perspectives. The impact of quotas elimination under the legislation of WTO is explored describing the increase of competition in Cambodian textile and apparel manufacturing (TAM) industry. The research draws on secondary data provided in the review of literature that touches upon WTO policy and regulations including trade liberalization, the Agreement on Textiles and Clothing (ATC), Multi-Fibre Arrangement (MFA), etc. Conclusions are made about the relative success of Cambodia in coping with WTO accession in economic and labour terms, but the potentially mixed results in welfare terms.
