New International Division of Cultural Labor in the context of the outsourcing of Hollywood film and television productionThe New International Division of Cultural Labor (NIDCL) was born from the idea of ​​the New International Division of Labor (NIDL) which is the result of the shift of industries from advanced first world countries to developing ones such as India and China.
