Abstract

Stories of migration tend to mark monumental moments in people's lives. In Indonesia, the experiences of labour migrants, in particular, female overseas domestic workers (usually referred to as TKW: Tenega Kerja Wanita), continue to make the news and has made its way into the Indonesian popular culture as well. In this conceptual paper, I offer a brief observation on the discussion of labour migration in Indonesia, and propose new ways to explore migration and urban space. In particular, with a focus on intersectionality of the two with respect to migrant women returnee's experience, I propose an approach that considers the details in their everyday lives and reflections upon them intertwined with formal and informal aspects of urban citizenship. Finally, by using Jakarta as a case study of urban space where migrant returnees live in, and influence and change, I suggest a research direction that centralizes migrant women as a storyteller and keyplayer in our understanding of urban, social, and cultural change in Indonesia and broadly, Southeast Asia.

Abstract

The South China Sea dispute has its roots decades ago, but tensions have been increasing among the six claimants in recent years, based on each claimants own foreign policy claiming overlapping territory with each other and claimants conducting military activities in the area. Xi Jinping, the leader of the People’s Republic of China, takes a major role in making China’s foreign policy, including the territorial dispute in the South China Sea. Since his leadership, reportedly, more assertive measures had been taken by China, especially with Vietnam as one of the most vocal claimants. This paper explains China’s strategic environment focusing on China's foreign policy planks and U.S. Rebalance Policy in the Asia-Pacific, China’s foreign policy purpose in the South China Sea dispute, and finally analyzes how they are processed by Xi Jinping’s idiosyncratic factors in making the most rational decision of foreign policy towards Vietnam regarding the South China Sea dispute (2012–2016). This research finds that the influence of external parties in the region has resulted in Xi Jinping resorting to making foreign policy – from being assertive to more cooperative – which has the purpose of maintaining its bilateral relations with Vietnam as it is a rational decision to maintain China’s status quo in the dispute.Bahasa Abstrak: Perselisihan di Laut Tiongkok Selatan telah berakar sejak beberapa dekade yang lalu, namun ketegangan telah semakin meningkat  dalam beberapa tahun terakhir ini, dimana masing negara ‘claimants’ memiliki kebijakan luar negerinya sendiri untuk mengklaim wilayah yang saling tumpang tindih dan di saat bersamaan juga melakukan aktivitas  militer di daerah tersebut. Xi Jinping, Presiden RRT, memiliki peran yang sangat  besar dalam pembuatan kebijakan luar negeri Tiongkok, termasuk dalam perselisihan teritorial di Laut Tiongkok Selatan. Sejak kepemimpinannya, tindakan yang lebih tegas telah dilakukan oleh Tiongkok, terutama terhadap Vietnam sebagai salah satu penggugat yang paling vokal. Tulisan ini menjelaskan lingkungan strategis Tiongkok yang memfokuskan pada  kebijakan luar negeri Tiongkok dan Kebijakan “Rebalance” AS di Asia Pasifik, tujuan kebijakan luar negeri Tiongkok dalam perselisihan Laut Tiongkok Selatan, dan akhirnya menganalisis bagaimana faktor-faktor tersebut dipertimbangkan oleh Xi Jinping dalam pembuatan rasionalitas kebijakan luar negerinya terhadap Vietnam dalam perselisihan Laut Tiongkok Selatan (2012 - 2016). Tulisan ini menyimpulkan bahwa pengaruh pihak luar di wilayah tersebut telah mengakibatkan Xi Jinping beralih untuk membuat kebijakan luar negeri - dari bersikap asertif hingga lebih kooperatif - yang bertujuan untuk mempertahankan hubungan bilateralnya dengan Vietnam yang menjadi keputusan paling rasional untuk mempertahankan status quo Tiongkok dalam perselisihan tersebut.

Abstract

The economic crisis that hit Indonesia both in mid-1980s and 1997 has allowed Indonesia to liberalize its economy. Economic liberalization has promoted a deeping of Indonesia’s economic integration into the global capitalist economy. The economic crisis in 1997 not only challanged the economy. The crisis also caused a flourishing of political change: the delegitimizing of an authoritarian regime, the spreading of political liberalization, and the burgeoning of democratization. Decentralization has been adopted as a deepening instrument in promoting democracy. Political pressure for curbing rent seeking activities has been articulated along with the country’s changing economy. Ironically, political liberalization that overhauled the authoritarian structure and power has failed to keep rent seeing activities in check. Rent seeking activities have institutionalized following the country’s changing economy and, therefore, they have been vulnerable to corruption.

Abstract

Parallel import has been an important issue in international trade. Business people have been buying genuine products from one country and selling them to another country that offers a higher price without the permission of the intellectual property owner. This practice is not always illegal because it is protected by the laws of some countries and it depends on the types of exhaustion theory that they have applied in their national law. This study will mainly discuss the various types of exhaution theory, how the theory effects parallel imports, and the application of the theory by the EU, WTO and WIPO. Therefore, by examining the indicated areas, this study aims to find the proper implementation of exhaustion theory and thus to provide appropriate recommendations for the practice.

Abstract

This article tries to explain some thoughts on the importance of cultural factors in the study of International Relations (IR).  The mainstream theories of international relations since the end of the World War II have ignored the role of cultural factors in world politics. But, after the Cold War era in 1990s, culture began to enter the center of research on international relations.  After the Cold War ended, cultural factors become particularly prominent and began to gain more attention from the scholars of International Relations. There are at least three prominent theories which are increasingly taking into account the role of cultural factors in international relations, that is, Huntington’s “clash of civilization” theory, Nye’s “soft power” theory, and constructivism theory. In addition, since the 1990s, many studies conducted by IR scholars have focused on the relationship between culture and the foreign policy of a country. The emergence of international culturology as a sub-field of IR studies further confirms that culture is an important variable in international relations.
