\nSYNOPSIS:<\/strong>
\nThe end of the cold war was the beginning of a new era in
\nSouth Asia. New political regimes dramatically displaced the old,
\nwhile the new rhetoric of economic globalism and development
\novershadowed the earlier notions of national capitalism. I make sense
\nof this paradigm shift through the everyday production and trade of
\ntextile and garments between Nepal and the United States. This
\nindustry in Nepal enjoyed a remarkable rise at the tail end of the
\ncold war (1970s-1990s) but faced an abrupt end after 2001, bringing
\nwith it unprecedented consequences for the businessmen and workers
\ninvolved. Based on my ethnographic fieldwork on the garment shop
\nfloors and trade union offices in Kathmandu, as well as my engagement
\nwith policymakers in Washington DC who regulated this industry
\nglobally, I suggest that the global politics of trade is turning Nepal
\ninto a new economic frontier of the post-cold-war era.<\/p>\n
