SYNOPSIS:
The end of the cold war was the beginning of a new era in
South Asia. New political regimes dramatically displaced the old,
while the new rhetoric of economic globalism and development
overshadowed the earlier notions of national capitalism. I make sense
of this paradigm shift through the everyday production and trade of
textile and garments between Nepal and the United States. This
industry in Nepal enjoyed a remarkable rise at the tail end of the
cold war (1970s-1990s) but faced an abrupt end after 2001, bringing
with it unprecedented consequences for the businessmen and workers
involved. Based on my ethnographic fieldwork on the garment shop
floors and trade union offices in Kathmandu, as well as my engagement
with policymakers in Washington DC who regulated this industry
globally, I suggest that the global politics of trade is turning Nepal
into a new economic frontier of the post-cold-war era.
