Abstract

Economic globalization is a critical point for the study of international political economy. This paper examines the big picture of economic globalization of the country's domestic policies which is in this case the development of maritime infrastructure in the era of President Joko Widodo (2014-2019). Using the concept of state capacity as a tool of analysis, this paper explores the new reasons for prioritizing the development of Indonesia's marine infrastructure which was massively carried out under Joko Widodo's administration. In this paper, economic globalization is seen through the ability of the state to provide basic facilities in maritime infrastructure development with the aim of building efficiency and innovation in creating a level of sustainable competitiveness for Indonesia's economic growth. The findings in this study explain that [1] the realization of maritime infrastructure development in Indonesia is still more in the planning phase so that it does not significantly reduce logistics costs between the western and eastern regions of Indonesia, [2] there are discrepancy in government rhetoric on achieving maritime infrastructure development with its implementation. Keywords: Economic Globalization, Maritime Infrastructure, Indonesia’s Development.

Abstract

After global financial crisis 2008, the position of the US dollar began to be debated and led to the narrative of the internationalization of renminbi. This literature review discusses how the literatures has evolved regarding internationalization of renminbi. Based on the taxonomy method, this literature review finds three major themes: China’s interest, implementation process, and external reactions. Based on those three themes, this literature review argues that internationalization of renminbi occurs because the character of international relations tends to be competitive due to power relations. This condition triggered the adjustment of Chinese interests according to Chinese characteristics using offshore renminbi centers. Besides using the supply-side approach as the dominant approach, this literature review identifies an increase in discussion after 2009 and also finds approach and empirical gap that use demand-side approach of international actors. This paper contributes to the study of international political economy related to state and market logic.

Abstract

This research is aimed mainly to overlook the phenomenon of drug-trafficking as one of the non-conventional security issues. It also tries to present how this issue is seen through various aspects, with the case study of Southeast Asia in general; and Indonesia in particular. The purpose of this research is to describe the problem through perspective of the threat to state as both the producer and consumer (of the drugs). This perspective is further elaborated through a number of assessments, namely political, military, economic, and social. To explain how this issue develops, the research will be conducted through library research, using supporting and relevant literature. Hopefully, the results of the research are able to give better understanding that the phenomenon of drug-trafficking is mare than just social and health issue. Thus, as the consequence, the policies regarding the issue, whether conducted by the state or through regional mechanisms, have to take more serious forms

Abstract

Transboundary haze pollution has become an urgent environmental issue in Southeast Asia. As a regional organization in Southeast Asia, ASEAN issued the ASEAN Agreements on Transboundary Haze Pollution (AATHP) international agreement to handle this Issue together. AATHP will act as a regime that makes collaborating easier to handle this Issue. Indonesia and Singapore are two countries that have a high interest in establishing cooperation because of their position as the two most affected countries. However, even with AATHP making cooperation mandatory, Indonesia is still reluctant and uncooperative in collaborating with Singapore. This research will explain why Indonesia took this stance using Oran R. Young's Theory of the Effectiveness of International Environmental Regimes. This research uses qualitative research methods with secondary data sources originating from reports from both countries, books, journal articles, and online media reports. This research found that Indonesia's uncooperative nature was due to differences in approaches between the two countries in dealing with this Issue. On the one hand, Singapore wants to push for a shift amongst ASEAN countries from slash-and-burn practices to a zero-burning policy as an environmentally friendly approach to opening oil palm plantations. However, factors still force Indonesia to allow slash-and-burn practices to continue in its territory. This research also found that the dispute between Indonesia and Singapore on this Issue has caused tensions that extend to the bilateral relations between the two countries, especially regarding whether or not there has been an encroachment of sovereignty based on the actions taken in dealing with transboundary haze pollution. This research recommends that Indonesia and Singapore explore cooperation in technology transfer with minimal potential for sovereignty encroachment and explore compliance mechanism options based on the principle of non-intervention at the ASEAN level.
