Abstract

This book offers a fresh look at the global and regional apparel industry by focusing on export-oriented Korean apparel multinational enterprises (MNEs) and their expanding role in weaving regional connections and shaping economic and social development across Asia. In this introductory chapter, we discuss major themes that cut across this volume, highlighting the following three aspects: (1) global value chain (GVC) integration, upgrading, and regional expansion, (2) GVC governance and the rise of multinational first-tier suppliers (FTSs), and (3) their experiences of navigating complex technological and institutional uncertainties. The chapter then outlines each of the chapters to follow and concludes with a brief discussion of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
