The issue of the development prospects of the Russian economy and the economy of its individual branches in the regions is highly relevant in terms of the increasing crises and economic development challenges. The scope of the study is a garment industry of the Siberian Federal District, which includes 12 subjects, and only six of them develop the garment industry actively. There are the regions of Kemerovo, Novosibirsk, Omsk, Tomsk, Krasnoyarsk Krai and the Republic of Khakassia. The subject matter of the research is the state and prospects of the garment industry of the Siberian Federal District. It also includes the assessment of the garment industry as one of the sub-sectors of the light industry in terms of its competitiveness in the domestic market. The purpose of the comprehensive study is to determine the conditions and factors affecting the development of the industry, as well as to identify its development reserves and competitiveness on the basis of industrial cluster’s generation. The hypothesis of this study is that in the Siberian Federal District, there are a need and reserves to create a cluster of the garment industry. The main methods of the study are the comparative analysis, the expert assessment of the sector in certain regions of the Siberian Federal District, as well as the assessment of possible formation of the industrial cluster in the region. The results of the study are the evaluation of the competitiveness and prospects of the garment industry in Russia and the Siberian Federal District (a low level of development and competitiveness); the evaluation of the development level of the garment industry in the Federal District, which have showed the demand for apparel products from the population and enterprises, as well as the conditions for the provision of clothing manufacture with natural fabrics and synthetic materials, labor resources and research and development achievements; also the justification of the existing potential for development of a sectoral cluster by means of pooling together the productions and economic communications of the Novosibirsk and Omsk regions at the initial stage.The obtained results should be used to strengthen works for the development of regional industrial cluster (with a creation of a working group at the regional governments, the garment industry development programs, and practical measures for its realization), as well as a creation of conditions for stimulation of investment activity of entrepreneurs. The research has confirmed the hypothesis, that in the Siberian Federal District, there are a need and reserves to create a cluster of the garment industry.

InProgressive Enlightenment, Leslie Tomory examines the origins of the gaslight industry, from invention to consolidation as a large integrated urban network. Tomory argues that gas was the first integrated large-scale technological network, a designation usually given to the railways. He shows how the first gas network was constructed and stabilized through the introduction of new management structures, the use of technical controls, and the application of means to constrain the behavior of the users of gas lighting. Tomory begins by describing the contributions of pneumatic chemistry and industrial distillation to the development of gas lighting, then explores the bifurcation between the Continental and British traditions in distillation technology. He examines the establishment and consolidation of the new industry by the Birmingham firm Boulton & Watt, and describes the deployment of the network strategy by the entrepreneur Frederick Winsor. Tomory argues that the gas industry represented a new wave of technological innovation in industry because of its dependence on formal scientific research, its need for large amounts of capital, and its reliance on business organization beyond small firms and partnerships--all of which signaled a departure from the artisanal nature and limited deployment of inventions earlier in the Industrial Revolution. Gas lighting was the first important realization of the Enlightenment dream of science in the service of industry.

The companies' innovative activities are a foundation for strengthening their position in the industry and ensuring sustainable access to advanced technologies. Analysis of the correlation between access to loans and innovative activity gives grounds not only to evaluate the effectiveness of companies' investment decisions but also to identify barriers that hinder their progress. This determines the relevance of the issue under research. The aim of this study is to determine the impact of lending on the innovativeness of light manufacturers globally, which is essential for understanding the mechanisms that contribute to the development of the industry. The Granger test was used to establish causality. The Dickey-Fuller test was performed to verify the model. The impact was assessed and analysed using correlation and regression analysis. The results of the study indicate that there is no causal relationship between lending and the growth of the number of innovative light manufacturers. According to the regression analysis, investment in innovative companies in Sweden shows a significant positive effect, as an increase of USD 1 million in funding leads to an 11% increase in the number of such companies. In the US, an increase in lending by the same amount stimulates only a 4% growth of innovative light manufacturers. The UK recorded a similar figure at 2%, while it reached 6% in Singapore. These differences indicate the variability of investment efficiency in different countries. The obtained results can significantly contribute to the deepening of research on the use of credit for the introduction of innovations in light manufacturers. A promising direction for further analysis is the study of the influence of credit mechanisms on the innovative development of the light industry in developing countries. This research has the potential to identify key factors that contribute to successful innovation in this area.

Accelerating the green transformation of China’s light industry is of great significance for addressing resource and environmental issues and promoting sustainable development. Based on data from 16 light industry sectors in China from 2004 to 2023, this paper employs a system dynamics model to systematically explore the pathways for the green transformation of China’s light industry. The study finds that the green transformation of China’s light industry will exhibit a trend of first declining and then rising in the future. Simultaneously implementing measures to increase environmental regulation, strengthen independent innovation, promote imitative innovation, and reduce technology acquisition represents the optimal pathway for driving the green transformation. Based on these findings, future efforts should focus on optimizing technological innovation pathways and scientifically setting environmental regulation intensities. This paper not only fills the gap in dynamic system analysis within the field of green transformation of the light industry, but also provides valuable reference for promoting the sustainable development of manufacturing in China and globally.

To promote Chinese-style modernization, we must unremittingly promote the all-round revitalization of the countryside. Industry and agriculture are inseparable. The light industry is a traditionally dominant industry in China and is closely linked to the revitalization of rural areas. The coordination and resonance between the high-quality development of the light industry and rural revitalization is a significant area of research. This study developed models for coupling coordination degree and fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis. It utilized data from 2012 to 2022 to empirically analyze the relationship between the high-quality development of China’s light industry and rural revitalization. Both of the systems had reached a condition of moderate coupling and showed dynamic interactive coupling. The degree of coupling coordination is affected by multiple variables, like economic development and scientific and technological innovation. There are two ways to promote the two to achieve a highly coupled and coordinated state. Therefore, this study opens up a novel methodological perspective and innovative path for research in related fields.

Strategy determines the success of the long-term development of any enterprise. In the context of sustainability, the consumer wants to be aware of what strategic principles the company adheres to, including questions about the use of environmental materials, technological innovation, corporate social responsibility, and other aspects. All these aspects should be reflected in the sustainability strategy, which, like any document, is in closed mode. In order to broadcast certain business practices in the field of sustainable development, any brand of light industry and fashion industry needs a system of strategic communications. This paper analyzes the corporate experiences of famous brands in the industry, examining their mission, vision, principles, ideology, philosophy and so on. The study has created a unique model that can help brands with sustainability information policy from the perspective of privacy in terms of partial disclosure of their sustainability strategy. In the future, the study can be extended to quantitative and qualitative analysis of the effects of changes in the communication system.

The light industry sector provides enormous amounts of daily necessities and critical basic industrial materials, allowing it substantial influence over the pollutant emissions embodied in international trade (PEEIT). Yet the characteristics and drivers of its PEEIT are poorly known. This study combined structural decomposition analysis with an input–output analytical framework to understand what economies, industries, and socioeconomic factors could be targeted to reduce these PEEIT. Results show that the PEEIT of 16 light industries in 40 economies was enormous and increased, with fluctuation, from 2000 to 2014, with high industrial and regional concentration and a noticeable long tail. Trade in intermediate products drove profound variations in the PEEIT. Changes in emission intensity and production dependence were the dominant drivers, followed by changes in the consumption and trade scales. The consumption and trade structures had smaller effects. These findings provide valuable information for customizing sectoral emission reduction priorities. Highlights Trade-embodied emission of light industry was enormous and increased with fluctuations. The emission of global light industry was dominated by a few economies and industries. Intermediate products profoundly promoted the light industry emissions and their changes. Emission intensity, production dependence remained the decisive drivers.
