Abstract

Globalisation integrates goods, services, people, capital and information. As a result, the economic, social and political institutions formed by globalisation become homogenous. The ultimate goal of globalisation is equitable welfare and distribution of wealth. Unfortunately, not all parties benefit from globalisation. Globalisation gives rise to a lame distribution and many groups become more vulnerable. One of these disadvantaged groups is indigenous people. Indigenous societies have developed their own economic, social and political institutions. They also have magical religious ties to the areas where they live. Therefore, indigenous people are threatened when the seas and forests that they occupy are exploited because of industry needs. However, in some areas, these indigenous societies have succeeded in developing a social order that fortifies them from outside influences and in certain cases, they managed to keep nature more sustainable. In Indonesia, the practice is known as sasi. The people of Maluku practice sasi in the management of sustainable natural resources. Sasi is considered to be a successful way to conserve natural resources. The problem raised in this research is how the local community, through their social institutions, can adapt in the globalisation situation. The other question is, what kind of situation is needed for the local social order to run?
