Kurzbeschreibung:

This project assesses the impacts of COVID-19 pandemic and the partial withdrawal of the European Union’s Everything but Arms trade arrangement on the employment in Cambodia’s garment sector. These trade related shocks or disruptions are analyzed in the political context of Cambodia’s authoritarian shift , as the country has no functioning political opposition and independent trade unions ability to promote workers’ rights has been compromised. As for the economic context, the report looks at Cambodia’s foothold in the global garment industry , which remains as an assembly platform of low value added apparel. The research addresses this de-facto market specialization and the implications when considering changes in power dynamics between global buyers and manufacturers who are consolidating and transnationalizing their production networks.
