Abstract

As a regulatory tool, spatial planning is important as it directs socio-economic development and prevents environmental and social damage by commercial and public projects. There should be an integrated spatial management to ensure the effective use of restricted spatial resources, balancing infrastructural, industrial and commercial business development with the available resources, including land, forest, and marine. However, the fragmented approach to spatial management has been thrived since the independence of Indonesia. The newly controversial Law No. 11 of 2020 on Job Creation has emerged a big hope that Indonesia will end the fragmented approach to spatial management. However, this Law seems to maintain this approach by enacting four different governmental regulation for four spatial issues, namely land use planning; forestry; energy and mineral resources; and marine and fishery. This fragmented approach has adverse consequences as it leads to overlapping authorities that may end up with disharmony and conflicting regulations. Besides, the insistence to employ fragmented approach to spatial management has linked to oligarchy issue as shown by old older, new order and the regional autonomy era.

Abstract

Foreign direct investment has a crucial role in accelerating economic development of a state. One of the most attractive investment sectors is tourism that has unique characters of a service industry. It has contributed jobs, tax income, and domestic value significantly. However, foreign direct investment in tourism has adverse impacts, such as environmental and anti-competitive practice. The existence of domestic laws and regulations is crucial to determine a state’s success to gain benefits from foreign direct investment in tourism. This paper aims to analyze the existing laws and regulations that regulate foreign direct investment in Indonesian tourism. This paper shows that the existence of foreign direct investment has been managed through fragmented and unclear laws and policies based on Indonesian laws of investment, tourism, environment, labor, and land. Hukum Terfragmentasi dan Aturan yang Tidak Jelas terhadap Penanaman Modal Asing dalam Pariwisata IndonesiaAbstrakPenanaman modal asing memiliki peran penting dalam meningkatkan pembangunan ekonomi di negara tuan rumah. Salah satu sektor penanaman modal asing yang paling menarik adalah pariwisata karena keunikan karakternya sebagai industri jasa. Penanaman modal asing di sector ini telah berkontribusi dalam menciptakan lapangan kerja, pajak, dan nilai tambah domestik. Namun, sector ini juga menyebabkan dampak negatif, seperti lingkungan dan praktik anti-persaingan. Memaksimalkan keuntungan dan sekaligus memitigasi dampak negatif, keberadaan hukum dan peraturan domestik sangat penting untuk menentukan sejauh mana keberhasilan suatu negara dalam memperoleh manfaat positif dari penanaman modal asing di sektor pariwisata. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hukum dan peraturan terkait penanaman modal asing, khususnya pariwisata di Indonesia. Tulisan ini menunjukkan bahwa keberadaan penanaman modal asing dalam pariwisata dikelola melalui undang-undang dan kebijakan yang terfragmentasi dan cenderung mengandung ketidakjelasan dengan melihat undang-undang tentang investasi, pariwisata, lingkungan, tenaga kerja dan hak guna tanah di Indonesia.DOI: https://doi.org/10.22304/pjih.v5n3.a1

Abstract

Foreign direct investment plays a critical role in a host country's economic development. Tourism, with its distinct character as a service business, is one of the most appealing investment industries. It has made a substantial contribution to the creation of jobs, tax revenue, and domestic value-added. The existence of domestic laws and regulations is critical in determining the extent to which a country's performance in getting benefits from investment can be maximized while reducing the negative impact. This article is aimed to examine whether the newly-enacted Job Creation Law provides a better arrangement on foreign direct investment in tourism compared to the previous laws and regulations. This article employs a normative approach by analyzing relevant laws and regulations concerning foreign direct investment in tourism in Indonesia. By looking at aspects on the choice of business fields, the issuance of business permit, land ownership, and labour, this article contends that Job Creation Law fails to provide integrated and comprehensive arrangements on the existence of foreign direct investment in tourism.

Abstract

In the modern era, Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs) are relatively effective to attract more foreign direct investment (FDI). Many countries then eagerly concluded BITs, including Indonesia. Considering the adverse impact of FDI on the environment, most countries then start putting the environmental concern in their BITs, assisting them to prevent and mitigate any adverse impact of FDI on the environment. Indonesia, however, did not follow this measure. This paper then shows the lack of the current Indonesia’s BITs in putting the environmental concern in their provisions. The fact that Indonesia has terminated some BITs becomes a right momentum to start putting the environmental concern in the updated and modified Indonesia BITs in the future. From other countries’ practices, there is evidence to suggest that BITs can and do contain provisions aimed at ameliorating environmental damage caused as a result of FDI within host countries’ territories.

Abstract

The existence of FDI on tourism has provided benefits, covering job opportunities, transfer of technology, government revenue, and the partnership with small and medium enterprises. However, FDI on tourism has also contributed to environmental damage in Indonesia. This paper is aimed to analyse whether trade and investment agreements that involve Indonesia can contribute to prevent and mitigate environmental damage as a result from FDI on tourism. This article is normative research, examining the existing trade and investment agreements that involve Indonesia and compare them with other countries’ agreements. This paper argues that there is evidence to suggest that trade and investment agreements may incorporate provisions in order to ameliorate environmental harm from the existence of FDI on tourism. However, Indonesia has not incorporated any such provisions in its own agreements. Hence, this paper explains that there will be three suggestions to be considered, namely: Indonesia should start putting environmental concern under its trade schedule; Indonesia should consider opening environmental services; and Indonesia should start putting environmental concern in its investment agreements.

Abstract

The existence of international trade has provided important benefits for reducing poverty. Many countries then have concluded trade agreements, to reach this goal by committing trade liberalization. The relatively high number of poverty has raised some concerns, questioning the effectiveness of trade liberalization. Putting Indonesia as a case study, this article weighs the role of trade liberalization and domestic trade policies in reducing poverty. This article argues that the existence of domestic trade policies is more significant than trade liberalization. The unfair practices, corruption, and the overwhelming spirit of national interest that colour domestic trade policies, contribute to the failure of reducing poverty instead of trade liberalization.

Abstract

The presence of foreigners in Indonesia for a long period certainly requires a place to live or a residential house. According to Article 144 (1) b of Job Creation Law, foreigners have the right to own flat units in Indonesia. Is this regulation intended to attract foreign investors? If it is yes, does not it contradictory to the “kenasionalan” principle stipulated in the Basic Agrarian Law (BAL) and other Indonesian regulations? This study is aimed to deal with those legal issues, by using the normative legal method. The result shows that the ownership right of flat units given to foreigners by the Job Creation Law is in contradiction with the “kenasionalan” principle, Article 33 paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution, and the BAL which only allows land/building use and lease right for foreigners. In addition, the regulation which allows the establishment of flats on land with building-use rights for a maximum of 80 (eighty) years raises a legal problem since such regulation had been revoked by the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Indonesia with its Decision Number 21-22/PUU-V/2007. Thus, the study recommends that the Government conduct a review of the regulation which allows foreigners to have ownership right to flat units under the Job Creation Law.

Abstract

Foreign direct investment (FDI) is critical to Indonesia's economic development. Tourism is one of the most appealing investment industries. It has made a significant contribution to employment creation, tax revenue and domestic value addition. However, FDI in tourism has had negative environmental consequences. Moreover, Indonesian trade agreements and investment treaties do not reflect environmental concerns. The schedule under the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) follows a similar trend, although other countries’ practices have shown that Indonesia can add this concern. Domestic laws and policies are also silent because the goal of economic growth outweighs protecting the environment. The United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (Guiding Principles) govern states' obligations to defend human rights and companies' obligations to respect and give remedy. This article examines the feasibility of incorporating the Guiding Principles into FDI in tourism. The Guiding Principles, together with the Global Code Ethics for Tourism, would provide a starting point for more robust legal frameworks for foreign tourism companies and emphasise sustainable development.

Abstract

The establishment of the dispute settlement procedure that consists of the Panel Report and the Appellate Body has been the most remarkable characteristic of the World Trade Organization. Beside the most productive international dispute resolution process, it has consistently adopted a rule-oriented procedure in enforcing the commitments made during trade negotiations. Since the last five years, however, the dispute settlement process has confronted an existential crisis. While conflict resolution through consultations and panels continues, the process under the Appellate Body is forced to stop. The United States has impaired the appointment of additional judges to this body, preventing it from obtaining the quorum required to hear appeals. By employing a normative research, this paper aims to identify and analyze the deadlock of the appointment of the Appellate Body judges and its repercussions for international trade governance, including Indonesia. This deadlock could jeopardy the viability of global trading system as there would be no proceeding to hear the dispute at the appellate level. Some cases that involved Indonesia would also be affected, particularly if the parties are willing to continue this process to the Appellate Body.
