AbstrakPenelitian ini difokuskan pada dampak globalisasi terhadap keadilan, kesejahteraan dan demokrasi serta konsep hukum yang bagaimanakah yang lebih memungkinkan untuk mewujudkan keadilan dan kesejahteraan rakyat di tengah krisis demokrasi dan bagaimanakah pelaksanaan dalam praktik pengadilan di Indonesia. Metode yang digunakan dalam studi ini adalah socio-legal approach yang bersifat kualitatif, berdasarkan data kepustakaan. Dengan pendekatan socio-legal approach, studi ini menggunakan dua pendekatan, yaitu pendekatan sosial dan pendekatan yuridis normatif. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan globalisasi telah mengakibatkan terjadinya kesenjangan (ketidakadilan) ekonomi dan meluasnya kemiskinan. Kemiskinan akan berdampak buruk terhadap demokrasi. Dalam situasi produk legislasi yang elitis, maka penerapan hukum yang didasarkan pada tradisi legal-positivism, akan semakin memperluas ketidakadilan dan kemiskinan. Karena, itu, di tengah situasi produk legislasi yang elitis, penerapan hukum secara progresif, merupakan cara alternatif yang lebih memungkinkan untuk mewujudkan keadilan dan kesejahteraan rakyat. Praktik pengadilan di Indonesia, menunjukkan mulai berkembangnya cara-cara penerapan hukum yang progresif, namun tradisi legal-positivism masih menjadi mainstream para hakim.
