Impact of Non-Tariff Barriers in Textile Sector: Empirical Evidence of India with RCEP
NOABSTRACTThe article is based on primary research into the effects of non-tariff obstacles on Indian textile manufacturers doing business with certain RCEP countries.A qualitative survey was conducted in three Indian states: Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan. The top firms in all three states are manufacturing firms, and nine out of twenty have addressed the problem of non-tariff barriers.The survey’s primary findings revealed that Indian textile producers confront hurdles such as antidumping, certification, customs, documentation, environmental, export limitations, labelling, video recording, metal problems, and rules of origin. Furthermore, Indian textile industries have largely faced these issues with China, the United States, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, and Singapore.According to the findings, India should prioritize developing trade with all RCEP countries other than Vietnam and China in order to maximize its competitiveness. Also, India is no longer as competitive, particularly in the cotton industry.

Between Eastern Africa and Western India, 1500–1650: Slavery, Commerce, and Elite Formation
This essay examines relations between eastern Africa and western India in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries in respect to two related sets of problems: the changing regimes of commercial circulation, and more particularly the evolution of patterns of human movement, notably via the slave trade from Ethiopia and the Swahili coast to Gujarat and the Deccan. It argues that over the course of the sixteenth century, commercial relations between Deccan ports such as Goa and Chaul, and the Swahili coast, came to be strengthened through the intervention of the Portuguese and their military-commercial system. At the same time, large numbers of African slaves reached the Muslim states in India, especially in the period after 1530, where they played a significant role as military specialists, and eventually as elite political and cultural actors. The shifting geographical dimensions of the African presence in India are emphasized, beginning in western Gujarat and winding up in the Deccan Sultanates. This contrasts markedly with the African experience elsewhere, where the meaning and institutional context of slavery were quite different.

Manufacturing processes for textile and fashion design professionals
To be truly prized and employable, textile and fashion designers have to be aware of, and knowledgeable about, a wide range of processes to enable their designs to be manufactured effectively, often thousands of miles from their design studio. This much-needed new reference is the only encyclopedic guide to manufacturing processes and materials that is truly relevant for textile and fashion designers. It is organized into five main parts: fiber and yarn technology; textile technology; construction technology; life cycle strategies; and materials appendix. This book is a complete overview of the life cycle of textile and fashion manufacturing, from the spinning of yarn to recycling. All the processes feature detailed step-by-step case studies showing the process in manufacture at a leading international supplier. The appendix features essential knowledge on over sixty natural and synthetic materials. With around 1,400 specially commissioned photographs and technical illustrations, this is the indispensable, reliable, convenient, and highly accessible practical reference for all textile and fashion designers.-- Source other than Library of Congress.

Hidden Messages: Connotation analysis of Textile Trademarks in the Republic of China (1912-1949)
This study analyses trademarks of the textile industry issued between 1912–1949 in the Republic of China, revealing the trademarks’ art features and hidden messages. The trademarks’ images and information folders were critically examined within their historical context. The work, by analysing the themes and patterns of the trademarks, revealed that the people-oriented conception, humanistic spirit, nationalist sentiment and the multiple connotations of era development were behind the trademarks, which answers questions about the social connotations of textile trademarks of the Republic of China and also gives us some guidance to understand how to use these connotations for innovation trademark design to inherit better traditional culture in the future.

Circular advantage in global textile waste trade: geographic vs. nongeographic distances in a fragmented world
This study investigates the determinants of global textile waste trade by comparing the influence of traditional geographic distances with emerging nongeographic distances, including sustainability, resource intensity, and income disparities. Employing a cross-sectional gravity model framework for the year 2024, the analysis draws on bilateral trade data between the top 34 textile waste exporters and their importing partners. Findings reveal that while geographic distance remains statistically insignificant, nongeographic dimensions such as income and resource intensity distances play a critical role in explaining variation in trade volumes. This suggests a shift in global trade dynamics, where institutional and environmental asymmetries outweigh traditional physical distance. The study introduces the concept of “circular advantage” as a strategic lens to assess trade competitiveness in waste-related sectors. The implications are vital for trade and sustainability policymakers seeking to realign waste governance with circular economy goals.

Community detection in the textile-related trade network using a biased estimation of distribution algorithm
It is very important to discovery potential customers or groups for the traditional textile enterprises to enhance its’ market competitiveness. Aiming to discover the implicit characters of the textile-related trade system, A biased estimation of distribution algorithm was proposed to detect the community structure in this paper. This algorithm combined a biased search and a simulated annealing selections strategy which were used to improve both the convergence speed and the accuracy of the EDAs to discovery the communities structure for complex system by maximizing the modularity density. The biased search is efficient by taking into account an asymmetric similarity between any pairs of nodes in network according to the different characteristics and local environment of nodes. The proposed algorithm was applied to detect the community structure for a textile-related trade network with the scale-free character extracted from a set of textile companies by uniquely leveraging each node with economic behavior, and the result show that the algorithm is efficient and competent
