Reshoring: A Stage in Economic Development or a False Patriotic Tune? The Case of the Polish Apparel and Footwear Industry

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Reshoring of Manufacturing

Part of the book series: Measuring Operations Performance ((MEOP))

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to examine economic and political grounds and consequences of near-reshoring and reshoring activities in Polish apparel and footwear sector. As the consumers and companies perspective is taken, the applied method is a combination of surveys conducted amongst Polish apparel and footwear companies and consumers together with some statistical analysis about the evolution of this sector in Poland and anecdotal evidence about reshoring and near reshoring activities. The paper contributes to literature by taking both a value-driven and a political economy perspective and enhances the understanding as to how reshoring and near-reshoring can both reshape business models and serve as smart tools of a new protectionism at the level of the national or regional economy.

The chapter is a result of the project financed from sources of the National Centre of Science DEC-2013/11/B/HS4/01484.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The term “populism” is used here in a negative sense. According to Economist (July, 4th, 2016): “Trumpism looks set to earn its own dictionary entry: An unpleasant but often politically successful mix of populism, nativism and xenophobia, delivered with a dollop of cynicism”.

  2. 2.

    (See eg. World Bank Doing Business Report, 2016).

  3. 3.

    We are aware that the correlation itself does not determine the causal relationship between two variables but it is one of its conditions (Babbie 2008, p. 547).
