This finding provides valuable insights for policymakers in formulating policy implementation that promote sustainable development in maritime axis policy, ensuring that economic growth benefits can be enjoyed by both current and future generations. Thus, the maritime axis policy not only has potential to drive economic growth but also safeguard in marine ecosystems that are essential for the livehood of coastal communities.

Abstract

This journal article analyses the trends in the strategic environment (lingstra) that underlie the formulation of Minimum Essential Force (MEF) stages I, II, and III, and evaluates the process of preparing Indonesia’s defence spending from 2020 to 2025. The analysis uses a qualitative approach and secondary data documentation from the Ministry of Defence, the Ministry of Finance, and the National Development Planning Agency. The article presents the dynamics of policies and the process of formulating the defence expenditure budget, including a comparison between the proposed and approved budgets. It also includes data on financing components from Pure Rupiah Funds, as well as domestic and foreign financing. The findings show that global and regional strategic environmental factors, such as geopolitical competition, military modernization in neighbouring countries, and advancements in defence technology, significantly influence Indonesia’s defence priorities.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of import tariff policy on Indonesia’s economic growth over the 2010–2024 period, aiming to provide an empirical foundation for designing adaptive tariff strategies that balance efficiency and industrial protection. A quantitative explanatory approach is employed using panel data from 34 provinces. Secondary data were obtained from official open sources, including Statistics Indonesia (BPS), the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC), the World Integrated Trade Solution (WITS), and the World Bank. The analysis utilizes Fixed and Random Effect Models, with the Hausman test determining the optimal specification. The results indicate that higher import tariffs suppress Indonesia’s economic growth by increasing input costs and reducing industrial productivity. Investment and exports exhibit positive effects, while exchange rate depreciation negatively affects growth, particularly in import-dependent sectors. Notably, moderate tariffs can play a strategic role in protecting emerging industries that contribute to structural transformation and long-term competitiveness. The findings underscore the need for adaptive tariff policies lowering tariffs on raw materials and capital goods while maintaining moderate protection for strategic sectors such as manufacturing and agro-processing. Such policies can enhance productivity, attract investment, and foster sustainable growth across Indonesia’s regions. This study advances the literature by combining provincial-level panel data with a robust econometric framework to quantify the effects of tariff adjustments on economic growth. It bridges theory and policy by demonstrating how selective liberalization, grounded in endogenous growth dynamics, can optimize Indonesia’s trade strategy for sustainable and inclusive development.
