Abstract

As one of the world’s poorest countries in the world 30 years ago, South Korea proved its remarkable economic development. Within three decades, South Korea’s economic development shot up and attracted international attention. The economic strength in South Korea is supported by several global corporations such as Samsung, LG, Hyundai and others. The corporations have South Korea’s “ala” power, chaebol. Chaebol itself is similar to keiretsu in Japan, which global corporations are run by families and are hereditary. As time goes by, South Korea with its corporate culture does provide many advantages for South Korea as a whole, but this condition does not last forever. Not on the decline in revenues to South Korea’s economy, but the scandal of some global corporations in South Korea, especially Samsung raises new questions, should the South Korean Corporate culture be changed in the future? This question will be answered and explained in this paper. The author will explain through the history of the Korean corporate culture that is influenced by Confucianism, Samsung’s history to become a global corporate power for South Korea as well as an analysis of corporate governance on the economic situation in South Korea.

Abstract

Pandemi COVID-19 yang mulai menyebar dari awal tahun 2020 sudah menjadi bencana nasional bagi beberapa negara. Virus yang pada awalnya bernama SARS-Cov-2 ini kemudian menyebar dari Wuhan, Cina ke seluruh dunia dan menyebabkan WHO mengumumkan status pandemi. Vietnam merupakan satu dari sekian negara di dunia yang dinyatakan berhasil mengatasi pandemi ini dengan melaporkan nol kasus dalam waktu 14 (empat belas) hari, mengurangi kondisi social-distancing, dan membuka kembali kegiatan masyarakat secara terbuka. Tulisan ini membahas mengenai respon Vietnam pada saat SARS-Cov2 ini mulai mewabah di Vietnam dan strategi dari Pemerintah Vietnam untuk menghentikan wabah di tingkat domestik. Vietnam berhasil menangani COVID-19 karena langkah awal yang, walaupun berlebihan, namun tepat sasaran. Selain itu, peranan identitas nasional Vietnam sebagai negara yang hebat dalam sejarah dan berhasil mengusir siapapun yang menganggu mereka, juga menjadi kunci keberhasilan kolaborasi masyarakat dan pemerintah dalam menghadapi pandemi tersebut. Keberhasilan Vietnam bisa menjadi contoh bagi negara lain yang sedang mencari solusi dan strategi yang tepat untuk menghadapi wabah COVID-19 ini. Kata-kata kunci: SARS-Cov-2, COVID-19, pandemi, Vietnam, strategi The COVID-19 pandemic, which began to spread from early 2020, has become a national disaster for several countries. The virus, initially named SARS-Cov-2, spread from Wuhan, China, to the rest of the world and made WHO declare it as a pandemic status. Vietnam is one of the countries that has been regarded as successful in overcoming this pandemic by reporting zero cases within 14 (fourteen) days, reducing social distancing orders, and re-opening public activities. This paper discussed Vietnam's response when SARS-Cov2 began to plague Vietnam and the government's strategy to control the pandemic at the domestic level. Vietnam succeeded in defeating COVID-19 because of, although excessive, effective initial responses. Also, as a heroic country in history and succeeded in expelling enemies, Vietnam's national identity is the key for successful collaboration between the community and the government in the pandemic counter. Vietnam's success is a model for other countries looking for the right solutions and strategies to deal with the COVID-19 outbreak.Keywords: SARS-Cov-2, COVID-19, pandemic, Vietnam, strategy

Abstract

AbstrakTransnational Organized Crime (TOC) adalah bentuk luas dari organisasi kejahatan yang dibentuk oleh sekelompok orang di wilayah tertentu. Dengan adanya globalisasi, perkembangan dari sebuah TOC bisa melewati batas-batas negara dan bahkan balik mengancam entitas dari negara tersebut. Satu hal yang membedakan TOC dengan organisasi kejahatan yang lain adalah struktur dan pola aktivitasnya yang rapi, seperti organisasi transnasional pada umumnya. Salah satu TOC yang melegenda sampai dengansekarang adalah kelompok mafa dari Cina, Triad. Sebagai organisasi kejahatan yang berumur panjang, berdiri sejak Dinasti Qing pada 1760-an, Triad memiliki banyak cabang yang tersebar di wilayah dengan populasi etnis Cina yang besar selain Cina sendiri seperti Taiwan, Hongkong, Singapura, Amerika Serikat dan Inggris. Melalui tulisan ini, penulis berusaha menjelaskan mengenai perkembangan Triad dari yang awalnya kelompok mafa menjadi kelompok yang memiliki tujuan bisnis seperti korporasi. Langgengnya kekuatan Triad sebagai sebuah organisasi kejahatan disebabkan juga banyaknya celah, baik diinstitusi domestik maupun institusi internasional. Celah tersebut dimanfaatkan secara baik oleh TOC untuk terus-menerus beraktivitas sampai sekarang.Kata-Kata Kunci: Organisasi Kejahatan Transnasional, TRIAD, Globalisasi, Mafia, KorporasiTransnational Organized Crime (TOC) is a widespread form of criminal organization formed by a group of people in a particular region. Because of globalization, the development of a TOC can cross the borders of the country and even turn against the entity of the state.One thing that distinguishes TOC from other crime organizations is, its neat structure and pattern of activities, such as transnational organizations in general. One of the legendary TOCs is the mafa group from China, Triad. As a long-lived crime organization, establishedsince the Qing Dynasty in the 1760s, Triad has many branchess cattered in areas with large Chinese ethnic populations other than China itself such as Taiwan,  Hong Kong, Singapore, the United States and Britain. Through this paper, I’ll try to explain the development of the Triads, from a group that was originally a mafa to a group that has business objectives like a corporation. The lasting power of the Triads as a criminal organization is supported by the gap which happened in domestic and international institution. This gap is used properly by TOC to continue their activities until now.Keywords: Transnational Organized Crime, TRIAD, Globalization, Mafa, Corporation

Abstract

This study compares waste governance in Banyumas, Indonesia, and Alappuzha, India, two cities in the Global South that faced similar public health and environmental crises caused by waste accumulation and had access to comparable waste management technologies. Both cities received international recognition for their community-based systems, yet their policy trajectories diverged. Banyumas experienced stagnation, while Alappuzha achieved sustained progress. Using a most similar systems design (MSSD) framework, this paper highlights two variables that shape reform outcomes, political continuity and the institutionalization of community participation. In Alappuzha, stable political leadership and the Kudumbashree women’s cooperative transformed protests into formalized community participation. In contrast, Banyumas remained dependent on individual leadership and fragmented community groups, with weak institutionalization leaving reforms fragile and vulnerable to political turnover. These findings suggest that although both cities began from similar conditions, political capacity and community participation ultimately determine whether waste governance results in progress or stagnation. Keywords: Alappuzha, Banyumas, Community Participation, Political Leadership, Waste Management   Tulisan ini membahas perbandingan tata kelola sampah di Banyumas, Indonesia, dan Alappuzha, India, dua kota di Global South yang sama-sama berangkat dari krisis lingkungan dan kesehatan akibat akumulasi sampah serta memiliki akses pada teknologi pengelolaan yang relatif sebanding. Kedua kota sama-sama pernah mendapatkan penghargaan internasional terkait sistem pengelolaan sampah berbasis komunitas lokal. Namun, trayektori kebijakannya berbeda. Banyumas mengalami stagnansi, sedangkan Alappuzha mengalami progresi. Dengan kerangka most similar systems design (MSSD), tulisan ini menyoroti dua aspek yang membentuk trajektori kebijakan, yaitu political continutiy dan institusionalisasi partisipasi komunitas. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, Alappuzha berhasil menjadikan krisis sebagai momentum reformasi berkelanjutan dengan mengandalkan kepemimpinan politik yang stabil dan koperasi perempuan Kudumbashree, yang mampu mentransformasi protes warga menjadi partisipasi yang lebih formal. Sebaliknya, Banyumas mengalami stagnasi karena reformasi kebijakan masih bergantung pada kepemimpinan politik individual dan partisipasi komunitas yang masih terfragmentasi. Minimnya pelembagaan membuat capaian mudah terhenti. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa meskipun titik awal serupa, kapasitas politik dan partisipasi menentukan apakah reformasi menghasilkan progresi atau stagnasi. Kata-kata Kunci: Alappuzha, Banyumas, Partisipasi Komunitas, Kepemimpinan Politik, Pengelolaan Sampah
