Though it's been studied extensively, the relationship between globalization and human rights remains unclear. Using Indonesia as a case study, Globalization, Poverty, and Income Inequality reexamines the links between free trade and the wealth gap, challenging the prevailing doctrine that internationalism empowers the poor. Its findings suggest that trade agreements have an ambivalent effect on low-income workers. This empirically rigorous work provides a nuanced perspective on the relationship between trade and poverty, contributing balanced testimony to a contentious global debate.

Charts and diagrams, tables, xii + 266pp. Hardback. "The process of globalization has implications for human rights, though the relationship between the two is not always clear. How does globalization affect human rights in local contexts? Globalization, Poverty, and Income Inequality examines the relationships between globalization and trade liberalization, and poverty and income inequality, using Indonesia as a case study. This empirically rigorous investigation finds that although increased trade tends to reduce poverty, there are exceptions. For example, globalization via trade in certified organic coffee has not helped low-income farmers. And globalized access to treatments for visual problems has been countermanded by rising digitization that negatively affects the visually disabled poor. Ultimately, the chapters 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." (Publisher's description).
