Globalisation and the introduction of the MultiFibre Agreement (MFA) in 1974 had changed the Ready Made Garment (RMG) industry of Bangladesh. Within a very short period of time the RMG sector of Bangladesh attained prominence in terms of its contribution to Bangladesh's gross domestic product, foreign exchange earnings and employment. On January 1 st 1995, the World Trade Organisation replaced the MFA with the Agreement on Textiles and Clothing (ATC). According to the ATC, by 2005, the RMG sector had to be fully integrated into GATT rules and the existing quotas had to come to an end. The removal of quotas threatened to increase competition in the global garment industry and limit Bangladesh's growth. But Bangladesh could receive benefits under the Generalised System of Preferences and gain access to the EU and US markets, if it met the International Labour Organisation standards.

Following the successful global trade talks at the fourth World Trade Organisation (WTO) Ministerial Conference held in Doha in 2001, the fifth WTO Ministerial Conference was held at Cancun in Mexico in 2003. The conference, which opened with the aim of reducing trade barriers and strengthening the international trading system, was stalled due to major differences between the developing countries and the developed countries on several issues, ending the conference in deadlock. While developed and developing countries blamed each other for the failure of the conference, others blamed the WTO. For the next conference, to be held in Hong Kong in 2005, to be successful, both the developed and the developing countries have to contribute their share of the effort. The case study promotes an understanding of the role of the Ministerial Conferences in improving global trade, the differing preferences of developed and developing countries on several issues of global trade and the impact of the success or failure of the conference in arriving at a consensus on the various aspects of an international trading system. The case also offers scope for discussion on the validity of each group's preferences on the pending issues for negotiations, and also the required efforts by each group for the progress of international trade.

The End of Multi-Fiber Arrangement: Opportunities for China's Textile Industry
written by Firdaus Maldar, fl. 2005 (Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh: IBS Center for Management Research, 2005, originally published 2005), 9 page(s)

The global textile and apparel industry had been governed by quotas under the Multi-Fiber Arrangement (MFA) since 1974. The developed countries laid certain restrictions on the number of items that could be exported by low cost producers, such as China and India, so as to protect their local textile industry. After the expiry of MFA on January 1 st 2005, China was expected to be one of the biggest winners due to its competitive textile industry. Chinese textile exports had experienced tremendous growth since its entry into the World Trade Organisation in 2002. But many competitors and importing countries, including the US textile industry, voiced concerns that China was set to dominate and destroy the textile industry through unfair trade practices including currency manipulation and subsidising its textile industry.

The U.S. – China Wind Power Dispute

In 2010, China's rapid development of wind energy, and specifically, its policies to promote wind turbine manufacturing, had resulted in significant loss of market share in the wind turbine market in China for U.S. and other foreign manufacturers. Although China was clearly violating WTO rules with its trade policies, U.S. and other firms were reluctant to bring a dispute to the WTO for fear of retaliation on the part of the Chinese government in the form of loss of access to the Chinese market. As a result, the United Steel Workers of America (USWA) trade union brought the dispute the WTO. Because the trade violations were so clear, China backed down even before the dispute could get out of the first, 'consultations' phase of the WTO dispute settlement process. This case can be used in a course on States and Markets in the Global Economy, Principles of Global Management, Global Business Environment, or Foreign Trade to demonstrate how the World Trade Organization (WTO) solves trade disputes -- both in theory and in practice. It can be used in a course on the U.S. business environment to demonstrate U.S. trade policy. It can be used in a course on the business environment of Asia to demonstrate China's role in the global economy.
