This dissertation examined the nature of export competitiveness in the Chinese textiles and garment industry, focusing specifically on the US and UK markets. Relying heavily on Porter's diamond as a framework for national (and as a result, international) competitiveness, the dissertation analysed how the Chinese textiles and garment industry was able to improve its competitiveness in the US and UK markets. In so doing, the dissertation examined the global changes in trade in textiles, the WTO and its impact on the global textile and garment industry, as well as the relevance of factor conditions, demand conditions, related and supporting industries, firm rivalry, strategy and structure, and government actions on competitiveness in this industry. The dissertation would be useful for anyone interested in the literature on competitiveness, in particular, Porter's approach to the competitive advantage of nations.
