Este es un artículo sobre el desempeño comparativo de las exportaciones del sector de confección de ropa en América Central y la cuenca del Caribe frente a los principales productores del Lejano Oriente para el mercado de los Estados Unidos. Aparte de un relato de tendencias históricas, la metodología empleada en el mismo es del tipo estadística descriptiva y resumida. Esta subdivisión hemisférica del trabajo que consiste en la especialización caribeña en el ensamblaje de prendas hechas con insumos de los Estados Unidos y otros países industrializados ha experimentado fluctuaciones a lo largo de las décadas desde su inicio. El último “capítulo” de esta industria ha sido el regreso al proteccionismo en Estados Unidos, iniciado por la Administración Trump. Se proporciona un resumen de la historia de la industria de exportación de prendas de vestir de la región frente a la evolución de los programas de acceso preferenciales al mercado de EE. UU., seguido de un examen del impacto de la competencia del Lejano Oriente en el contexto de una globalización más amplia de los mercados. El impacto de las políticas proteccionistas de EE. UU. en este comercio parece mínimo en lo que respecta al Caribe y América Central.
This is an article on the comparative export performance of garment assemblers in Central America and the Caribbean Basin versus the key Far East Asian producers for the United States’ market. Apart from a report of historical trends, the methodology used in it is of the descriptive and summary statistical type. This hemispheric subdivision of labor consisting of Caribbean specialization in the assembly of garments made from inputs from the United States and other industrialized countries has experienced fluctuations over the decades since its inception. The latest “chapter” in this industry has been a return to protectionism in the United States, initiated by the Trump Administration. A summary of the history of the region’s garment export industry in the face of evolving US preferential trade access programs is provided, followed by the impact of Far Eastern competition in the context of a wider globalization of markets is examined. The impact of U.S. protectionist policies on this trade appears minimal as far as the Caribbean and Central America is concerned.
