Book excerpt: This study examines colonization, development, and globalization in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) with respect to the garment industry, the main industry of the islands. A broad-reaching analysis examined population, gender, economic factors, and import/export data in order to explore the repercussions of garment industry development and subsequent decline on the CNMI. A quantitative analysis was conducted utilizing data from the United States Census Bureau, the CNMI's Department of Commerce, and the U.S. Department of Commerce Office of Textiles and Apparel. This research illustrates how the effects of the garment industry in small developing nations are dramatically impacted by a trade arrangement, the Multi-Fiber Arrangement (MFA), which was a protectionist measure used to restrict manufacturing of certain product through a quota system. In addition, this study reveals the economic implications and societal outcomes for the CNMI after the collapse of the garment industry as a result of the 2005 MFA phase-out. Garment production orders shifted to large producer nations once quota restrictions were no longer in place. Factory closures, lost business revenue, and a loss of manufacturing positions affecting predominantly women plagued the CNMI as well as cost-of-living increases. Federalization of the CNMI took place in 2009 which further complicated the islands' politics and guest worker population status. Tourism is now the CNMI's chief industry although its growth is dismal and heavily reliant upon world economies. A comparison between Mauritius, another small island nation, concludes the discussion with insight on women's development and future considerations for economic growth as a means of development and dependency in the CNMI.

Book excerpt: The Northern Mariana Islands are a group of 14 islands in the Pacific Ocean, lying just north of Guam. They are located about 3,200 miles west of Honolulu, 5,500 miles west of Los Angeles, and 1,500 miles south of Tokyo. The United States took control of the Northern Mariana Islands from Japan during the latter part of World War II. In 1947, the U.S. Congress approved the Trusteeship Agreement that made the United States responsible to the United Nations for the administration of the islands. Accordingly, the United States was obligated to promote the political, economic, social, and educational advancement of the Islands' inhabitants leading to self-government or independence. For about the next 15 years, the Northern Mariana Islands had little economic development. Except for some U.S. military activity on the Islands, the economy consisted of subsistence farming and fishing, small-scale manufacturing, and trading. Later, the Northern Mariana Islands sought self-government and permanent ties to the United States. Over time, the Islands negotiated different political arrangements with the United States. In March 1976, the President signed Public Law 94-241, which formed a Covenant to Establish a Commonwealth in Political Union With the United States of America. A basic objective of the Covenant was to encourage economic growth and a standard of living in the CNMI comparable to that in the United States.
