这篇文章考察了全球化动力如何影响伊斯坦布尔的城市经济。我们的重点是制衣业，该行业目前正面临巨大压力，以满足国际服装零售商日益增长的需求。虽然这些零售商几十年来一直通过全球采购推动服装行业的全球化，但最近它们对伊斯坦布尔和其他地方的制造供应商公司提出了新的要求，并成功地将满足这些新需求的问题转化为生存问题。制造商应对这些新需求的确切方式，以及其努力对劳动力的影响(特别关注居住在城市外围社区的女性劳动者)是本文的核心。
This article examines how globalising dynamics have been affecting Istanbul’s urban economy. Our focus is on the part of the clothing industry which is now under tremendous pressure to meet the ever-increasing demands of international clothing retailers. While these retailers have been fuelling globalisation in the clothing industry via global sourcing for some decades now, they have recently placed new demands on their manufacturing supplier firms in Istanbul and elsewhere, and have successfully turned the question of meeting these new demands into a matter of survival. The exact manner in which manufacturers have been coping with these new demands, together with the labour force implications of their efforts (with a special focus on women labourers living in the peripheral neighbourhoods of the city) is the core of this article.
