Abstract

The discontinuation of Holden's operations was caused by the unfriendly policy of the Australian government. The fall of an industrial entity are influenced by the manifestation of the government's interest upon the economy wheel. Australia's national interest in its strategy of international trade oriented towards the energy, minerals and agriculture sector has had dire consequences for Holden. In addition, Australia's commitment to the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) for environmentally friendly vehicles has changed the orientation of its national automotive industry. Furthermore, Donald Trump's isolationism policy towards the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) has indirectly killed Holden. This study uses four conceptual frameworks in the form of International Political Economy Theory, the Concept of Government Decision Making on the Market, Free Trade Policy, and the Concept of Government Policy on Industrial Operations. Based on the research that has been carried out, this proves that the political dimension will always affecting an economic entity. The Australian government has legitimized its national automotive industry through a political decision-making process.Keywords: Holden, Manifestation of Interest, International Trade, Government Legitimacy

Abstract

The outbreak of COVID-19 has made China's image deteriorate into an unfavourable view. The government cannot waive this problem. Sectors such as but not limited to economics, anti-China sentiment, and the bullied Chinese diaspora has impacted. Therefore, China must have strategies that can restore its image internationally. Based on the background of the problem, the research question is how are China's strategies in restoring its country image due to the COVID-19 pandemic? To answer this question, the author uses the conceptual framework of Diamond and McDonald's Multi-Track Diplomacy. It then argues that China uses the strategies in the Multi-Track Diplomacy operating tracks one (government) and nine (media and communication) to restore its image. This study finds that China carries those strategies in tracks one and nine to recover their image by image building. The type of data used in this research is qualitative and analysed using narrative data analysis methods.

Abstract

Money laundering is the act of disguising the origin of money resulting from a crime so that it appears as if it came from a legal act. Money laundering is a transnational crime because its actions and impacts reach across countries. Therefore, international cooperation is needed in dealing with money laundering. Indonesia decided to propose Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA) with Switzerland to investigate money laundering cases that had been committed by Indonesian citizens in Switzerland. After several negotiations, Switzerland finally agreed to cooperate with Indonesia in bilateral cooperation on Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA). Before this collaboration was agreed, Switzerland was known for its very strict banking secrecy system. From this phenomenon of Indonesia-Switzerland bilateral cooperation, a question arises as to why Switzerland which is known for its bank secrecy, is willing to assist Indonesia in tracing the money laundering case. To answer this question, the authors use a norm-based constructivist theory in conducting this research. The main argument of this study is that Switzerland's decision to agree to bilateral Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA) cooperation with Indonesia was driven by compliance with international norms formed from international regimes agreed upon by Switzerland. The type of data used in this study is qualitative and analyzed using congruent analysis methods.
