Abstract

During the 1990's, apparel industry adjustment to foreign competition and technological change will likely accelerate as the new North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the recently concluded General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) significantly expand foreign access to the U.S. apparel market. To better cope with this adjustment, a State may wish to form "apparel action teams" to review State economic development options vis a vis the apparel industry. This report discusses 12 key questions a State might usefully address in assembling such a team and defining the team's agenda. The 12 questions fall into 3 major categories: (1) putting together the policy team; (2) setting the ground rules for planning; and (3) setting the ground rules for implementation. The "action team" approach suggested here should be widely applicable for use in many States' key manufacturing sectors.
