Abstract

Balinese are known for their agrarian culture and strong social culture such as mutual cooperation, hospitality, and a high level of togetherness. This is the main attraction for tourists to visit Bali, because he higher level of tourist visits has an impact on the creation of a global network society which is also supported by various social media to interact massively between Balinese people and the global community that characterizes the conditions of the globalization era. Global network society as one of social capital strengthens local politics. But the shift in mindset and strategy in politics emerged in some Balinese people oriented to the short-term interest with nuanced materialistic effects of globalization era. This results in the occurrence of local political dynamics with the phenomenon of giving rise to conflicts, differences of opinion both in the internal family and society. In fact, if it is realized that the social culture possessed by the Balinese, if it is strengthened by a global network is social capital in the face of the dynamics of local politics. This paper emphasizes on maintaining social culture as a local wisdom of Balinese people, building a Global network society by utilizing the era of globalization and making these two components strengthen social capital in the face of the dynamics of local politics. Keywords: Social Networks, Social Capital, Dynamics, Local Politics and Globalization.
