Abstract

Indonesia, as the world’s largest producer of nickel, faces significant challenges in leveraging its resources for economic development. These challenges are compounded by external pressures, including the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), and internal issues related to China’s dominance in Indonesia’s nickel sector. Despite its vast nickel reserves, Indonesia is excluded from the green incentives provided under the IRA, which threatens to undermine its strategic position in the global nickel supply chain. The study seeks to understand the underlying factors driving this exclusion and the impacts of China’s dominance on Indonesia’s nickel industry. This research employs an explanatory qualitative approach, drawing from literature reviews and interviews with an industry expert. The methodology focuses on interpreting the interrelations between international trade policies, environmental sustainability, and Indonesia’s domestic challenges. The study identifies three key factors behind Indonesia’s exclusion from the IRA: the lack of a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the United States, environmental concerns over Indonesia’s mining practices, and the significant presence of Chinese companies in Indonesia’s nickel sector. China’s dominance has also led to environmental degradation, reduced domestic industrial competitiveness, and economic dependency. To address these challenges, the research proposes that Indonesia negotiate an FTA with the United States. Such an agreement would create a framework for accessing IRA incentives, strengthen Indonesia’s economic sovereignty, and mitigate China’s dominance. While the negotiation process will require strong political will and careful diplomacy, it presents a viable path for Indonesia to secure its economic and geopolitical interests.

Abstract

China emerged as one of the world's largest film markets during the 2010s and became an increasingly important destination for Hollywood's international expansion. Despite the country's restrictive film policies, Hollywood achieved remarkable box office success between 2012 and 2019. This study examines the factors behind Hollywood's box office success in China during this period by analyzing both the industry's internal strategies and the external conditions that supported its commercial performance. The study employs a qualitative approach using an explanatory method. Secondary data were collected through library and online research, including books, academic journal articles, government publications, industry reports, statistical data, and relevant news articles. The findings show that Hollywood's success resulted from the combination of several factors rather than a single explanation. Internally, Hollywood strengthened its position through collaboration with Chinese film companies, Chinafication, market-specific promotional activities, product differentiation, and high film quality. Externally, the implementation of the 2012 Memorandum of Understanding between the United States of America and China: Films for Theatrical Release, the relatively cooperative relationship between the United States and China, and the rapid growth of the Chinese film market created favorable conditions for Hollywood's expansion. From the perspective of neoliberalism, Hollywood's success demonstrates the importance of international cooperation, institutional arrangements, and expanding markets in facilitating international economic activities.
