in globalization. Since the economic crisis started in 1997, the President of the Republic of
Indonesia, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono outlined economic challenges and opportunities for
Indonesia. They are significant source of finances to develop the economy for the next 15
years, supplying the ever-increasing need for electricity, the infrastructure sector, increasing
purchasing power, and strong cooperation between businessmen and the government. Today,
Uzbekistan has also entered into the new phase of economic reforms.
The major goals of these reforms are the provision of deep structural transformations in
the economy and primarily, in such areas as strengthening national currency and liberalizing
foreign trade. The program of radical denationalization and privatization of enterprises is
aimed at priority development of private ownership and sharp reduction of the presence of
state in the economy. Special attention is attached to accelerated growth of SME, private
entrepreneurship, increasing its role in the structure of the economy, development of banking
and finance sectors (Karimov, 2011).
Globalization, which is defined as a multidimensional phenomenon, does not only touch
political, economic, social and cultural spheres of any society but also reshapes the traditional
way of studying the social world and human nature (Robinson, 2005). Globalization has been
here coloring our daily life. Its potential impacts-through increasing social, cultural, economic
and political interconnectedness arising from the phenomenon-on nation economic, social,
cultural, political, and character development, needs special attentions.
In the beginning, globalization is expected to increase the welfare of the world as a whole.
However, by time it was found that expected welfare increase was not realized for the poor
people and less developed countries. It, furthermore, increased the inequality of incomes
distribution on the world population (Alkapler, 2008). On the other hand, globalization is
assumed to break down borders in markets, political structures and as well as in cultural
interaction, resulting in global interdependence and a diminishing of local control. These
resulted in the ability of capital and services to act freely globally, the political basis remains
local. Those countries which have the ability to cope with this “new era” by moving from local
capitalism to being a host for multinational capital – attracting foreign direct investment into a
country with liberalized markets and reformed financial and legal structures, characterized by
good governance, globalization provides a space for strong economic growth (van Zyl, 2001).
We understand that globalization is a prismatic phenomenon. It is a complex phenomenon,
which encompasses a great variety of tendencies and trends in the economic, social
and cultural spheres. Accordingly, it should be looked at in all its manifestations and from
various angles. Indonesia and Uzbekistan economy and management would be interesting to
review and discuss.
