Stitched Up: How rich country protectionism in textiles and clothing trade prevents poverty alleviation

Quotas are now being lifted, but protectionist barriers remain, and more may be erected. The abrupt lifting of quotas has also left several poor and vulnerable countries facing a harsh transition period, and in urgent need of assistance.
