2	Dependency and development in the garment industry: Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands Heidebrecht, Sarah E. January 1900 (has links) Master of Science / Department of Apparel, Textiles, and Interior Design / Joy Kozar / This study examines colonization, development, and globalization in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) with respect to the garment industry, the main industry of the islands. A broad-reaching analysis examined population, gender, economic factors, and import/export data in order to explore the repercussions of garment industry development and subsequent decline on the CNMI. A quantitative analysis was conducted utilizing data from the United States Census Bureau, the CNMI's Department of Commerce, and the U.S. Department of Commerce Office of Textiles and Apparel. This research illustrates how the effects of the garment industry in small developing nations are dramatically impacted by a trade arrangement, the Multi-Fiber Arrangement (MFA), which was a protectionist measure used to restrict manufacturing of certain product through a quota system. In addition, this study reveals the economic implications and societal outcomes for the CNMI after the collapse of the garment industry as a result of the 2005 MFA phase-out. Garment production orders shifted to large producer nations once quota restrictions were no longer in place. Factory closures, lost business revenue, and a loss of manufacturing positions affecting predominantly women plagued the CNMI as well as cost-of-living increases. Federalization of the CNMI took place in 2009 which further complicated the islands’ politics and guest worker population status. Tourism is now the CNMI's chief industry although its growth is dismal and heavily reliant upon world economies. A comparison between Mauritius, another small island nation, concludes the discussion with insight on women's development and future considerations for economic growth as a means of development and dependency in the CNMI.

A partir de entrevistas com pessoas que trabalharam com moda nessas décadas; da pesquisa em jornais e na revista Rio Magazine; e de fotos antigas das lojas mais renomadas do Centro da Cidade, então principal comércio de moda feminina no Rio de Janeiro, buscou-se entender o quanto as casas que surgiram em Copacabana no período se basearam no modelo físico e na forma de produção de vestuário estabelecidas pelas distintas lojas do Centro; e o quanto elas se adaptaram ao imaginário simbólico de Copacabana e às ideias de modernidade e distinção do período. / [en] This work aims to enlighten about the womenswear retail businesses in Copacabana in the late 1940s and 1950s, in particular about Celeste Modas. Drawing from interviews with professionals who worked in fashion at the time; going through newspapers from the period and Rio Magazine; and using antique photos of Rio s most renowned shops in the city Centre (the main shopping area at the time), it aimed to understand to which extent the Copacabana boutiques relied on the retail and production model already in place in the Centre, and how much they adapted their retail businesses to fit into the symbolic conception of Copacabana and the ideas of modern and luxury of the period.
