Description :

Globalization is more complex than ever. The effects of the global financial crisis and increased inequality have spurred anti-globalization sentiment in many countries and encouraged the adoption of populist and inward-looking policies. This has led to some surprising results: DuterteBrexit and Trump to name a few. In Indonesia, the disappointment with globalization 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 globalization.

In this volume leading experts explore key issues around globalization nationalism and sovereignty in Indonesia. Topics include the history of Indonesia’s engagement with the worldIndonesia’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.
