The collaboration between countries demonstrates the mutual national interests. Following the establishing of downstream policy through Ministerial Regulation No. 11 of 2019, the Indonesian Government has shown increased concern for optimizing its domestic nickel potential. This study examines the impact of cooperation between Indonesia's and China' in the nickel industry on Indonesia's economic growth and environment.

Abstract

This study evaluates the effectiveness of Indonesia’s environmental policy reforms in the nickel sector as a response to global criticism regarding ecocidal practices. Indonesia's nickel industry plays a crucial role in the global supply chain, especially in meeting the demand for electric vehicles. However, the ecological impacts of this industry have drawn international scrutiny, particularly from environmental organisations highlighting extensive ecosystem damage. Using environmental security theory, this study focuses on evaluating policy reforms, such as the revision of Environmental Impact Assessments (AMDAL) and the regulation of hazardous and toxic waste (B3), as well as their impacts on ecosystem sustainability and social stability. The findings indicate that policy reforms tend to be reactive and face substantial implementation challenges in the field, which limits their effectiveness in reducing environmental degradation. Additionally, this research contributes to the environmental governance literature by highlighting the discrepancy between policy and practice, particularly in developing countries that face significant challenges in meeting global sustainability standards. The results of this study suggest that Indonesia requires a stronger and more sustainable governance approach to address global sustainability demands.
