Implication of Globalization on Indonesia's Development and NGOs' Response

Budi Winarno

International Area Studies Review, 2003, vol. 6, issue 1, 69-82

Abstract: Globalization and economic liberalization have given benefits to the developed countries but have been baneful for the developing countries in some respects, including Indonesia. Market-driven development pushed the government losing its control of foreign and domestic capital flight out of the country, when Indonesia was beaten by monetary, economic, and political crises. As a result, poverty, unemployment and the widening gap between the rich and the poor people have been increasing. Indonesia's NGOs have blamed and resisted the conspiracy of developed countries in the process of impoverishing the developing countries. Therefore, efforts have been undertaken by Indonesia's NGOs to provide advocacy and empowerment, as well as defending the rights of poor people and their dignity. However, the struggle of Indonesia's NGOs on the side of poor people is still far away.
