Abstract

This paper is library research attempting to explore the way to maintain the local identity in globalization for Indonesian particularly their national religious identity. Taking and tracking documents in the form of data relating to the issues of globalization, religious identity, and� Pancasila and adopting the concept of grounded globalism by James L. Peacock which affirms and seeks embodied connectedness to locale, this paper shares the perspective that Pancasila is still qualified and deserve to be used as a basic foundation to maintain and strengthen the national religious identity of the Indonesian people in the global era. Indonesia does not need to be transformed by global identity. Indonesia has already had its own national religious identity which is global. The five principles of Pancasila need to be actualized as the ground and cultural traits of their global identity. By grounding global identity on Pancasila, Indonesians can enjoy globalization without losing its national identity.

Highlights

Globalization has been greeted with joy and fear associated with all localism: the state, nation and community
Adopting the concept of grounded globalism by James L Peacock which affirms and seeks embodied connectedness to locale; this paper aims to emphasize that Pancasila is still qualified and deserve to be used as a basic foundation to maintain and strengthen the national religious identity of the Indonesian people in global era
The approach used is a historical approach, which is to trace the history of Pancasila as the basis of state philosophy which is expected to be a basis for reinforcement that Pancasila is capable of being a common foundation and cultural traits as well for Indonesia's national religious identity

Summary

Introduction

Globalization has been greeted with joy and fear associated with all localism: the state, nation and community. It has been widely acknowledged as the most powerful force that shapes the modern world. Some assert it inevitable and widely perceived as beyond human control, which further weakens resistance. It is regarded as a complex concept that is always connected with political, economic and socio-cultural aspects. Even though globalization may sometimes give rise to economic, political and cultural benefits it has been regarded as a serious threat. Globalization is often interpreted as revoking old ways of life and threatening livelihoods and local culture
