Globalization, Poverty, and Income Inequality examines the
relationship between globalization and trade liberalization, and
poverty and income inequality, using Indonesia as a case study.
Contributors examine how advances in coffee certification,
treatments for visual disabilities, and property rights, among
other factors, have had both meritorious and deleterious effects on
the local population. Ultimately, they describe an ambiguous
relationship between trade liberalization and inequality, both of
which can increase or decrease in proportion to one another
depending on region and sector. This empirically driven work
provides a nuanced view of the trade-poverty relationship,
contributing balanced testimony to policy debates being held
internationally.
Globalisation is more complex than ever. The effects of the global
financial crisis and increased inequality have spurred
anti-globalisation sentiment in many countries and encouraged the
adoption of populist and inward-looking policies. This has led to
some surprising results: Duterte, Brexit and Trump, to name a few.
In Indonesia, the disappointment with globalisation has led to
rising protectionism, a rejection of foreign interference in the
name of nationalism, and economic policies dominated by calls for
self-sufficiency. Meanwhile, human trafficking and the abuse of
migrant workers show the dark side of globalisation. In this
volume, leading experts explore key issues around globalisation,
nationalism and sovereignty in Indonesia. Topics include the
history of Indonesia's engagement with the world, Indonesia's
stance on the South China Sea and the re-emergence of nationalism.
The book also examines the impact of globalisation on poverty and
inequality, labour markets and people, especially women.
