520    How does a globally uncompetitive industry compete 
       successfully in specific markets? What shapes the 
       decisions of importers in these markets to purchase inputs
       from a more costly supplier? Current theories highlight 
       the role of the market or firm strategy as possible 
       explanations. It's Not Just the Economy, Stupid! Trade 
       Competitiveness in the 21st Century relies on 12 years of 
       research of the US textile industry and the apparel 
       industry throughout the Latin American and Caribbean 
       regions to provide an alternative answer to these 
       questions. The book argues that market factors and 
       business strategies alone do not determine industry 
       competitiveness and firm import behavior. Rather, special 
       international trade programs and regulated trade 
       agreements, which are commonly described as free trade 
       agreements, make it possible for an industry that is less 
       competitive in the global market to become highly 
       competitive in specific markets. Furthermore, these same 
       international trade programs and agreements create 
       incentives for importers to purchase inputs from specific 
       markets, including those with higher costs.For example, 
       the US textile industry is less cost competitive than the 
       same industry in a number of other countries, such as 
       China. Although less expensive textile suppliers exist, 
       some Latin American and Caribbean countries continue to 
       import a majority of their textiles from the United States
       for use in their garment exports. The book shows that this
       particular trend results from special trade programs and 
       regulated trade agreements. The findings presented here 
       complement existing scholarship on international trade by 
       focusing on the behavior of importers rather than 
       exporters. Furthermore, whereas current studies explain 
       how industries compete in the global market, the book 
       shifts the emphasis toward industry competitiveness in 
       specific markets.
