- Summary:
- The main theme of this book is to examine the globalisation of the South Pacific region and Fiji and more particularly the globalisation of Fiji by examining the supply chain of garment industry. This book will not only attempt to explain how Fiji and the South Pacific region are integrated into the global economy, but also how they are influenced by sub-regional, regional and global forces. This book will demonstrate the analytical tools of 'the State', 'the firm', and 'the global forces' to the centre stage of discussion and analysis. This focus allows the unravelling of the key element in the global commodity supply chain analysis advanced in this book.
