Abstract

In 2014 Indonesian Presidential Election, Joko Widodo promised to give a priority in the issue of Indonesian migrant workers, especially in Malaysia. This was basically part of Jokowi’s program to protect Indonesian citizens abroad. In Malaysia, Indonesian migrant workers have involved into various problems and cases. Therefore, this article attempts to examine Jokowi’s administration related to Indonesian migrant workers in Malaysia and its impact to both countries bilateral relations. Both countries obviously gained many advantages from the influx of Indonesian migrant workers in Malaysia. The migrant workers remittance is one of the largest revenue for Indonesian government. As for Malaysia, the presence of Indonesian migrant workers highly contributed to the national economy amid lack of interest of Malaysian citizens to such kind of “dirty jobs.” Hence, this article invites readers into the comprehensive discussion on migrant workers issue and Indonesia-Malaysia relations, especially during the first half of Jokowi’s tenure of the office.

Abstract

This study describes Indonesia's strategy to ensure children's participation through the National Children's Forum policy. Based on the significant increase in the fulfillment of children's participation rights in Indonesia in the 2018-2022 timeframe and seeing the position of the National Children's Forum (FAN) as a forum and meeting place that discusses children that are attended directly by the only children at the national level who directly or indirectly have the power to be able to provide input on policies regarding the fulfillment of children's rights and protection at the national level to the Indonesian government. The research method used in this study is descriptive qualitative research, which uses interview methods and a literature review to describe the behavior of events in detail based on facts. These are then analyzed to reach analytical conclusions to the research questions. The findings of this research show that Indonesia's policies in guaranteeing children's participation rights include the establishment of the National Children's Forum by the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection. These efforts include regulations, indicators of Child-Friendly Districts/Cities, and the establishment of Children's Forums down to the village level. The Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection also involves families, schools, and communities through special programs. Indonesia is active in regional and international forums, such as the ACF, which influence the formation of policies related to children's rights. These strategies demonstrate Indonesia's commitment to realizing child participation at various levels.

Abstract

During President Trump's first term, he declared a US-China trade war, which formed numerous opportunities for developing countries. It also urges multinational corporations to relocate their manufacturing factories outside of the US-China region to prevent further increasing tariff. This study used "the dependency theory" to understand that Indonesia is the biggest economy in ASEAN, despite Nigeria and South Africa as the largest economies in Africa.  As Sierra Leone's geographical position connects South America, Africa, and Asia by Sea, but they did not have any significant advantages during the trade war, in comparison to Vietnam. Therefore, this study compares and analyzes two forms of policy competition, Incentives-Based (IBC) and Rules-Based (RBC), to solve the issue of how these Global South nations should benefit from the Trump tariff war. Using qualitative and quantitative methods, it examines the opportunities for the tariff wars ahead between developed countries, which may lead to another great recession. As the results, this study shows that policies do not accommodate to investors as those in Vietnam, whose population is smaller than Indonesia's. Obviously, Nigeria is serving as an alternative for investment, increasing its GDP and creating a favorable public perception of free trade.
