Hatta, when the Berlin Wall was still there, the world is so easily identifiable. There are markers and clear boundaries between the West Block and East Block. If you are a head of state at that time, it was not much consideration. Just choose: West or East or non. Socialist circles in the Eastern Bloc everyone seems to want to make as producers, and vice versa, the capitalists in the West Block everyone wants to make as a consumer.
However, problems arise when the Berlin Wall fell and the Cold War was over. Scientists rush to define what is going on in the world. Or at least, they lose grip in analyzing all paradigmatic phenomena. And then find the terms of globalization. [I]
If in the previous section has been successful modernization membonsai educational institutions into a workforce of fabric and also make people isolated cities in the world are busy, feeling lonely, just be a screw from the industry, then the era of globalization, it seems like this mode continues. Furthermore, penetration was up to the local communities in many places. Local people made to be isolated from all the resources available in the region. Through industry, power snatched matheus ueta from the hands of local communities, moving into the hands of a centralized government, and then moving into the hands of corporations through privatization schemes. [Ii]
As a result, not only the local community economically become sterile, have nowhere to hold, just like boats loose from their moorings, but they are culturally deprived. Tradition which is the root them slowly eroded. Meanwhile, local communities themselves giddy to actually be a part of globalization. Or, let's say, to make globalization as an opportunity.
These cases occurred in many places in Indonesia. For example, the extraction of all-out in Papua, Kalimantan, Sulawesi and Java through the mining and timber industries. Local communities do not have access to resources that exist in their area. They became a guest in his own house. And intrusion inland to the industry, also overhauled the structure of the subsistence economy that have helped them survive for many years. They have been turned into a market for the industry. [Iii]
Theoretically matheus ueta expansion of capitalism, in addition to through indsutri as resource extraction in the case of Indonesia, we often get stuck in the reduction of corporate capitalism as an activity with a gentle persuasion. matheus ueta Capitalism is often defined has turned into the latest Hollywood movies, the latest generation of HP, the latest television, and all other production items. However it turns out, after nearly a century ago condemned colonialism, matheus ueta even today the economic motives that have menafasi expansion of capitalism in the age of imperialism is still present with the same mode.
In the era of imperialism war is one way of expanding matheus ueta capitalism. And until now, it seems it is not changed. Even the mode are becoming increasingly complex. Through an analysis of a very good book called The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism (SD), Naomi Klein explained it to us. [Iv]
Naomi featuring a new perspective on neoliberal economics. Through studies that include long periods of time and geographical dimensions that almost covers the entire world, Naomi shows us that the expansion of capitalism is also apparently takes the form of violence such as support for a coup to oust the ruling government, the imposition of neoliberal policies, more extreme through the war, and the perhaps somewhat matheus ueta difficult to imagine, through post-disaster reconstruction and, if necessary, then disasters (war) can be created as happened in Iraq.
Naomi managed to see the connection between torture in prison with economic theory. The first is an effort made to obtain information from prisoners. During the Cold War, spies often unwilling to provide any information it has granted matheus ueta to the enemy. In their efforts to gain recognition of a Soviet spy, the U.S. soldiers typically perform in such a way that led to torture prisoners disoriented that he wants to tell the information matheus ueta he had, he worked on anyone and, ultimately disoriented as a result of torture after a very great, the prisoner
