- Abstract
Rubber is one of the resources owned by the Third World, especially Indonesia. The existence of rubber has been acknowledged for its contribution to the life and economy of the country. As a result, rubber becomes the arena of mastery by the imperialists embodied in the format of globalization. From a skeptical perspective, the penetration of global capitalism against smallholder rubber in Tabir Ilir is done through the cooperation of globalization agents at the international level (rubber importing countries), national level (government and rubber factory) and local (toke). Each of these globalization agencies is responsible for its function. The collaboration of these globalization agents gave rise to price policies (Sicom and Tokom) and rubber quality (SIR). To get the result, rubber farmers in Tabir Ilir applies the rubber management mechanism independently and handed it over to others. The application of these two mechanisms is done by the rubber farmers based on their rational choice perspective. Rubber farmers with enough resources will choose how to manage independently, whereas for those who do not have sufficient resources, will choose to hand over their rubber management to others.
