It analyses how the leather processing and leather goods/footwear subsectors are integrated into the global market and to what extent informal arrangements including illicit practices are conducive to global market entry. Power relations are dissected along the value chain, in order to analyse how local producers adapt to upholding competitiveness. The results of the work show the need to devise upgrading strategies which pay heed to the reality of informal dynamics in a global value chain (GVC) to improve the local producers’ competitiveness. The GVC perspective was combined with considerations on upgrading, subcontracting, middlemen and informality to adequately analyse the complexity of the transactions in the chain. The data of this study are drawn from empirical field studies in Dhaka, Bangladesh and other sections of the international leather value chain during the time period of 2010 to 2014. A qualitative research approach was complemented with quantitative methods.Springer Geography,2194-315XEconomic geographyHuman geographyEconomicsManagement scienceBusinessEconomic Geographyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J12000Human Geographyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X26000Economics, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W00000Business and Management, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/500000Economic geography.Human geography.Economics.Management science.Business.Economic Geography.Human Geography.Economics, general.Business and Management, general.338.47675Strasser Josephauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1063183MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910299422203321Bangladesh's Leather Industry2530874UNINA
