Abstract

Indonesia faced a thorny problem is the high level of poverty. The persistently high poverty rate, is recognized not only caused by the lack of management resources, but there are many factors that lead to a high rate of poverty in Indonesia. One is globalization, which is touted as the factors that exacerbate poverty. The dominant aspect of globalization is the globalization of the economy. Economic globalization is a process increasingly globalized world economy or in the broad sense of globalization as a process of formation of a system of order that applies to the countries in the world.

The question that often arises is the extent of the impact of globalization on poverty in Indonesia ?. What is the impact of globalization can reduce poverty or even globalization can exacerbate poverty in Indonesia ?.

To see whether globalization can reduce poverty in developing countries, especially Indonesia can be seen from several aspects, among others, failure to achieve the MDGs. MDG-1, namely a decrease in the poverty rate from 15.10 per cent (1990) to 12.49 percent (2011). The slow performance or even failure to achieve the MDGs shows that commitment along with 189 of those countries is not supported by the globalization process. This also proves that the globalization that raised the issue of the distribution of welfare among developing countries and the poor do not have proof truth. the globalization process has not been able to fully eradicate poverty. The process of globalization is expected equalization does not necessarily occur in developing countries countries like Indonesia.
