| Research Abstract |
The aim of the research is to conduct research on the Informal Economy with special reference to the Global Value Chain (GVC) from perspective of economics and also politics/social aspect. The regional integration of Asia has provided new economic opportunity not only for global capital but also for micro/small enterprises. For example, destination of shoes exports from Thailand is now showing new trend that is decrease of Western market and expansion of neighboring Asia and Middle East countries. Globalization of micro/small enterprise is part of this new trend. At the result, competition between the formal and the informal economy is getting higher which leading the change of relationship of these two economies.
