Globalization in the Perspective of Islam and Economic Experts

This paper aims to describe globalization in the perspective of Islam versus economic experts. Analysis of backward linkages and forward linkages is used to determine the impact of globalization on the economic structure and the multiplier effect analysis is used to examine the behavior of entrepreneurs in globalization. The result shows that globalization in the perspective of Islam is interpreted as a command of God to mankind in the whole world to know each other (QS.Al-Hujurat:13). However, according to the perspective of economic experts, pessimistic economist believed that globalization is a threat, while the optimistic economists said that globalization is an opportunity that can raise the welfare of the world community.
