Abstract: Globalization is one of the most intensive subjects to be debated during the last decade, both in the developing countries and developed countries. The major question is who are the winners and the losers from the globalization. As a case study, this article attempt to investigate whether furniture makers in Central Java are winners or losers from globalisation. More specifically, it addresses two questions: first, have enterprises and workers gained from producing for the global economy? Second, are these gains sustainable? The answer to the first question is yes; however, to the second question is no, not under current circumstances.
