"With a focus on how trade, foreign investment, commercial arbitration and financial regulation rules affect impoverished individuals, Poverty and the International Economic Legal System examines the relationship between the legal rules of the international economic law system and states' obligations to reduce poverty. The contributors include leading practitioners, practice-oriented scholars and legal theorists, who discuss the human aspects of global economic activity without resorting to either overly dogmatic human rights approaches or technocratic economic views. The essays extend beyond development discussions by encouraging further efforts to study, improve and develop legal mechanisms for the benefit of the world's poor and challenging traditionally de-personified legal areas to engage with their real-world impacts."

"Indonesia adalah salah satu negara yang paling beragam di dunia, secara etnis maupun secara agama. Kolektivisme di antara masyarakat di Indonesia juga masih kuat. Di samping itu, tingkat penurunan kemiskinan sudah melambat, disebabkan oleh penurunan kemiskinan di daerah pedesaan yang lambat dibandingkan di perkotaan. Dengan latar belakang tersebut, saya termotivasi untuk menganalisa bagaimana modal sosial mempengaruhi peluang miskin seseorang. Saya menggunakan kepercayaan sebagai ukuran modal sosial. Data yang saya gunakan berasal dari IFLS, dimana sebelumnya disesuaikan dengan IRT, dan diagregasikan pada level distrik. Sebagai perbandingan, saya juga menggunakan partisipasi masyarakat sebagai ukuran modal sosial. Saya meregresikan kemiskinan pada tingkat rumah tangga dengan modal sosial dan determinan kemiskinan sebagai variabel kontrol. Saya juga menambahkan variabel interaksi antara subsidi pemerintah dan modal sosial untuk melihat interaksi keduanya. Hasil dari analisis saya menunjukkan bahwa kemiskinan tidak mempunyai dampak signifikan terhadap peluang miskin dan kebijakan kemiskinan pemerintah.

Indonesia is one of the most diverse countries in the world, ethnically and religiously. Collectivism is also very prevalent inside the societies in the country. The rate at which poverty rate is going down is slowly halting. This phenomenon is mainly caused by the drop of poverty rate in rural areas not going down as fast as it is in the urban areas. Motivated by these facts, I try to analyze how social capital affects poverty incidence in Indonesia. I use trust as a measure for the level of local social capital. To do this, I use trust data from IFLS adjusted using IRT to better reflect the real level of trust, and aggregate the data in district level. For comparison, I also used social participation as a proxy of social capital. Furthermore, I regressed incidence of poverty at household level against the aggregated trust, as well as social participation, and a set of control variables consisted of theoretized poverty determinants. I also add the interaction between government subsidies and social capital to see how the two interact. The result suggests that social capital doesn`t have a substantial impact on poverty incidence and government policies."
