Abstract

Abstract This article examines the subcontracting arrangements that apply to microenterprises operating in the informal economy in East Java, Indonesia. A qualitative study was carried out in which the snowball technique made it possible to obtain the details of both the formal and informal company owners, who were then interviewed with the purpose of gaining a deeper understanding of the subcontracting relations. Formal export companies outsource to micro family businesses in the subcontracting market as a way to optimise production. Our study highlights the fact that formal and informal companies are located in the same communities. Subcontracting relations are hence based on trust and cooperation, which are key to minimising production costs.

期刊介绍： Third World Quarterly ( TWQ ) is the leading journal of scholarship and policy in the field of international studies. For almost four decades it has set the agenda of the global debate on development discourses. As the most influential academic journal covering the emerging worlds, TWQ is at the forefront of analysis and commentary on fundamental issues of global concern. TWQ examines all the issues that affect the many Third Worlds and is not averse to publishing provocative and exploratory articles, especially if they have the merit of opening up emerging areas of research that have not been given sufficient attention. TWQ is a peer-reviewed journal that looks beyond strict "development studies", providing an alternative and over-arching reflective analysis of micro-economic and grassroot efforts of development practitioners and planners. It furnishes expert insight into crucial issues before they impinge upon global media attention. TWQ acts as an almanac linking the academic terrains of the various contemporary area studies - African, Asian, Latin American and Middle Eastern - in an interdisciplinary manner with the publication of informative, innovative and investigative articles. Contributions are rigorously assessed by regional experts.
