Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major impact on the world order, especially on the health and economic sectors. The World Health Organization (WHO) noted that as of 4th December 2020, positive cases of COVID-19 in the world reached more than 64 million confirmed cases, and 1.5 million death cases. Responding to this condition, the world's attention has turned to efforts to produce vaccines. However, apart from vaccines, the world demand for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) has also continued to increase, and even, the world experienced a shortage of PPE. In this case, Indonesia as a producer of PPE can take advantage of this momentum to earn economic benefits in the midst of this pandemic. PPE made in Indonesia produced by PT Sri Rejeki Isman Tbk has obtained ISO 16604 Class 3 certification at Intertek HQ, Cortland, New York. PPE is a nubic garment or CBRN (Chemical Biological Radiation) that can be used for both pandemic and non-pandemic needs. This research will discuss Indonesia's PPE diplomacy in the pandemic era. This study uses economy diplomacy theory and qualitative methods to analyze Indonesia's opportunities through PPE diplomacy. The results showed that the contribution of PPE and mask exports reached US$ 4.56 billion. Therefore, this paper assesses that PPE is economically more strategic than vaccines. Indonesia has a great opportunity to generate concrete benefits from economy diplomacy through the production of domestic PPE or what can be called PPE diplomacy. Key words: COVID-19, economy diplomacy, PPE

Abstract

This study aims to discuss Indonesia’s role in optimizing the implementation of the blue economy through (Indonesia Sustainable Oceans Program) ISOP by focusing on synergy based on local wisdom. A literature review is accomplished to gather evidence of the genuine efforts that Indonesia has made through ISOP and the immediate involvement of Pecalang in conserving Bali’s Ocean. The blue economy concept provides an opportunity to increase public understanding of the importance of keeping the sea sustainable. On the other hand, the government is expected to provide support through implementing policies for optimal management of the sea and surrounding resources. This role is essential because Indonesia is an archipelagic country that fully utilizes the sea as its primary resource. According to Ministry of Environment and Forestry of Indonesia, at least 14 million tons of plastic still end up in the Indonesian ocean every year, thus it needs a different approach to tackle this issue. A local wisdom-based approach can be a more effective and progressive conservation measure. The author uses a case study on Pecalang Segara as a local protective agent for Bali’s marine conservation. Through a qualitative study with descriptive analysis, the authors conclude that the immediate involvement of Pecalang Segara as a local community in implementing ISOP can encourage the formation of a more effective guidance scheme in implementing sustainability from the blue economy concept.
