DINAMIKA HUKUM PERDAGANGAN DAN KETENAGAKERJAAN DALAM ERA GLOBALISASI: ANTARA INTEGRASI PASAR DAN PERLINDUNGAN PEKERJA

Abstract

Globalization has brought significant changes to various aspects of life, including trade and employment law. Global economic integration encourages countries to adapt their national legal systems to align with international standards and regulations. This article aims to analyze the impact of globalization on the transformation of trade and employment law and examine the challenges and opportunities that arise in this context. The research method used is a normative juridical approach by reviewing various literature, laws and regulations, and relevant legal concepts. The results of the study indicate that globalization encourages the harmonization of trade law through state involvement in the international trade system, particularly through the World Trade Organization, which demands the alignment of national regulations with global trade principles. The development of digital technology has also expanded the scope of trade through e-commerce, requiring new legal arrangements, including those related to data protection and electronic transactions. In the employment sector, globalization has given rise to new dynamics such as increased labor mobility and the development of the gig economy, which pose challenges in protecting workers' rights. In the Indonesian context, labor regulatory reform policies such as the Job Creation Law reflect the government's efforts to balance investment interests with labor protection. Thus, globalization presents both opportunities and challenges in the development of trade and employment law at the national and international levels.
