PRAKTIK MONOPOLI DAN KARTEL DI PASAR GLOBAL DALAM METAFORA KEADILAN

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the practice of monopolies and cartels in the global market through a metaphorical approach to justice in order to expose the structural inequality hidden behind formal legal legitimacy. The object of study includes the dominance of multinational companies such as OPEC, Amazon, and Google in the global market. The method used is a critical qualitative approach with hermeneutic and discourse analysis techniques, supported by literature studies from selected academic sources. The results show that cartel and monopoly practices not only create economic distortions through market and price control, but also violate Rawls' principle of distributive justice and ignore ethical responsibilities towards stakeholders. This research develops a conceptual framework that integrates distributive ethics, stakeholder theory, social justice, and antitrust principles as the basis for developing more substantively fair market policies, so that justice in the global market must be understood more deeply as an ethical and social principle, not just a formal legal one, so that antitrust regulations can promote inclusive, equitable, and collective welfare-oriented markets.
