Abstract

Countries with large ocean areas tend to rely on aquaculture products to drive their economy, such as Kiribati which relies heavily on the fisheries sector because its ocean area is significantly larger than its land area. To claim that the sea is Kiribati's only hope for its economy is not an exaggeration given how much aquaculture products contribute to its national income. Unfortunately, Kiribati's heavy reliance on the fisheries sector is not balanced with an adequate management framework and this condition is increasingly exacerbated by climate change and over-exploitation of marine resources, which are posing serious threats to Kiribati's economy. Using descriptive qualitative methods, this research aims to identify sectors with potential as new economic sources and challenges for the development of a blue circular economy in Kiribati. The findings of this research will reveal that Kiribati has several sectors that can be utilized in the implementation of a circular blue economy. However, numerous challenges prevent these sectors from reaching their full potential. Furthermore, this research will aim to formulate policy recommendations to maximize Kiribati's circular blue economy potentials.

Abstract

This article addresses a critical issue in the context of the blue economy, which is illegal fishing, and makes it the primary focus in efforts to maintain the sustainability of marine resources. In the era of the rapidly developing blue economy, it is important to understand the negative impacts caused by illegal fishing practices and how this damages marine ecosystems and the potential of the blue economy. The author explores the impacts caused by illegal fishing. The author identifies marine resource management strategies that have been implemented to combat illegal fishing, as well as the role of increasingly sophisticated technology in monitoring and controlling this illegal activity, and the importance of international collaboration in global efforts to combat illegal fishing and how regulation and public policy play an important role in protecting the blue economy. Apart from that, joint efforts are also needed, both in terms of regulations and public awareness. The research method used in this research is library research using a descriptive approach to gain further understanding. This research has great benefits in maintaining the sustainability of marine resources, strengthening the empowerment of coastal communities, and supporting the growth of the blue economy by overcoming illegal fishing, which threatens the sustainability of the ecosystem and economy.

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the development of ecotourism in Raja Ampat through the circular economy concept. A qualitative method is used in this study by compiling findings from various studies on ecotourism worldwide, especially in the local practice. Raja Ampat has become one of Indonesia's most popular tourist destinations, enhanced with extraordinary natural resources and its tourism attractiveness, which gives it potential in improving its ecotourism. However, perils like government support, insufficient technology, and community readiness were taken into account. Despite that, efforts were made to develop ecotourism in Raja Ampat through the development of eco-friendly infrastructures, workshops regarding the management of sustainable tourism, and involving locals in educational campaigns related to preserving natures in Raja Ampat. As a result, these efforts are considered for a significant increase in some infrastructural developments. These efforts indirectly had a positive impact on the economy of the locals. The Raja Ampat ecotourism development is in line with the circular economy, especially on the focus of tourist management that reinforces local and natural resources in a sustainable manner.

Abstract

Small Island Developing States are economically dependent on tourism and fisheries, both of which are closely related to marine ecosystems and sustainable coastal development. The limitations of geographic remoteness and isolation from international markets place them at a disadvantage economically and socially, so a way out is needed to address the economy of Small Island Developing States by applying the blue economy. This study aims to provide a comprehensive explanation of the blue economy as the key to sustainable coastal development in Small Island Developing States. This research uses a qualitative method by using a literature review of several studies that have been conducted. Based on the research that has been done, it is found that the solution offered by the blue economy in handling the economy and coastal development is through its integration with the circular economy in managing waste by empowering organic waste from hotels and empowering coastal communities in creative economic development to be an effective way out for Small Island Developing States.

Abstract

The implementation of the blue economy in Small Island Developing States (SIDS) can provide a promising economic opportunity to further utilize the riches of marine resources sustainably. Unfortunately, due to the internalized cultural hegemony supporting the economical North-SIDS relations, SIDS still rely upon the investment of the Global North to provide resources to implement this concept. In Neo-Gramscian theory, the Global North is forming a ‘historical bloc’ that uses their resources to maintain an upper hand in their relationship with SIDS. The concept of ‘Oceanian Sovereignty’ in the blue economy acts as a ‘counter-hegemony’ for these countries to unify support for their sovereignty and rights over their own development course through South-South Cooperation. This paper analyzes cases of North-South power imbalance. Using the Neo-Gramscian Theory, this paper uses qualitative methods in analysing the ‘Oceanian Sovereignty’ concept as a gradual effort to counter the Global North domination in the blue economy and look into challenges of the South-South Cooperation to manifest a just transition. This paper finds that under the current state of South-South Cooperation, it is challenging to contest Global North's domination that persists through neoliberal co-optation and economic pressure without sufficient strive for international solidarity and collaboration.

Abstract

Despite its marine diversity and tourism potential, the Caribbean is highly vulnerable to climate change, natural disasters, and damage from human activities. In response, Caribbean governments are actively implementing the Blue Economy framework and the Eastern Caribbean Regional Ocean Policy (ECROP), with support from the World Bank. The World Bank has launched the Caribbean Regional Oceanscape Project (CROP) to drive sustainable development of marine resources in the Eastern Caribbean. This study focuses on assessing CROP's impact on the Eastern Caribbean's Blue Economy, particularly in the tourism sector. The analysis of literature, databases, and agency reports pertaining to the Eastern Caribbean reveals two key findings. First, governments have adopted the Blue Economy as a central strategy to bolster regional fiscal and financial resilience through ECROP policies. Second, despite ECROP's success in increasing economic potential, there are policy imbalances in the various regions due to uneven regulation of the green industry sector. This can be seen in policies in some Eastern Caribbean regions that override the protection of marine ecosystems in favor of achieving state profits in tourism. To encourage the tourism sector as a driver of sustainable development in this region, countries must shift their governance towards more equitable industry regulation, ensure fair access, and prioritize coastal ecological sustainability.

Abstract

This paper aims to analyse the contribution of Singapore and China, the two most prominent investors, to Indonesia’s economic development. Since the 1950s and 1960s, Indonesia has engaged with both nations and experienced dynamic relationships. Since President Jokowi was elected (2014-2024), the relations between Indonesia, Singapore, and China have increased, involving both countries in most projects in Indonesia. We use the qualitative method in this research, utilizing primary and secondary data to ensure our argument. In our findings, we have at least three key points. First, we underline that the historical relationship between Indonesia, Singapore, and China is the foundation of their ties in the modern era. Second, as a rising power, China has started and continued its engagement in Indonesia, together with their investment. At this point, the Belt and Road Initiative is pivotal. Lastly, we underscore that Singapore’s contribution to Indonesia is gigantic, for example, how Singapore offered investment in Kendal. We conclude that Singapore and China played significant roles in improving Indonesia’s economic development in every aspect.

Abstract

This article aims to explore how the ASEAN Comprehensive Recovery Framework (ACRF) is employed by member countries as an exit strategy to address the COVID-19-induced crisis, particularly focusing on the timber trade. The creation of ACRF, specifically in tackling the timber sector crisis, becomes intriguing due to the distinct impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on timber trade between VPA and non-VPA countries. This study delves into elucidating how the ACRF functions as a solution to the timber trade crisis among ASEAN member states. Utilizing a qualitative explanatory research method, the analysis reveals that VPA countries leverage the ACRF as a collaborative framework to rejuvenate the timber industry, considering it an essential tool to enhance their dominance in the ASEAN timber sector. The ACRF, deployed to address the timber trade crisis amid the pandemic, represents a strategic shift in ASEAN's regime transformation. Specifically, ACRF Strategy 3, focusing on Maximizing Intra-ASEAN Market Potential and Wider Economic Integration, particularly point 3.d, eliminating Non-Tariff Barriers (NTBs) and reducing market-distorting policies is intricately linked to the ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement (ATIGA).

Abstract

This research examines India's negotiation strategy on the proposal to waive the TRIPS Agreement (TRIPS waiver) at the WTO to deal with COVID-19. India, along with South Africa, submitted the TRIPS waiver proposal in response to the disparity of available medicines between developing and developed countries during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. India has played an important role in proposing TRIPS waiver in 2020. India’s historical legacy to the birth of TRIPS flexibility during the Uruguay Round 1989 and the Doha Declaration on TRIPS and Public Health during the Doha Round 2001, making it interesting to observe the dynamics of negotiation and strategies used to include the TRIPS waiver in the Ministerial Conference 12. This research demonstrates that India has failed to use mixed-distributive strategy during the negotiation and then it shifts to apply integrative strategy due to the Quadrilateral type of negotiation, tight deadline affected by negotiation deadlock, and pressure of green room negotiation during the TRIPS waiver negotiation. The research utilizes the concepts of distributive and integrative strategy, as well as the dual concern model, to identify India's strategy and elaborate transformation. This research aims to contribute to the discussion of how developing countries like India navigate multilateral trade negotiation in WTO amidst contested interest between the Global North and South and elaborating strategy used during the process of negotiation.

Abstract

This study aims to discuss Indonesia’s role in optimizing the implementation of the blue economy through (Indonesia Sustainable Oceans Program) ISOP by focusing on synergy based on local wisdom. A literature review is accomplished to gather evidence of the genuine efforts that Indonesia has made through ISOP and the immediate involvement of Pecalang in conserving Bali’s Ocean. The blue economy concept provides an opportunity to increase public understanding of the importance of keeping the sea sustainable. On the other hand, the government is expected to provide support through implementing policies for optimal management of the sea and surrounding resources. This role is essential because Indonesia is an archipelagic country that fully utilizes the sea as its primary resource. According to Ministry of Environment and Forestry of Indonesia, at least 14 million tons of plastic still end up in the Indonesian ocean every year, thus it needs a different approach to tackle this issue. A local wisdom-based approach can be a more effective and progressive conservation measure. The author uses a case study on Pecalang Segara as a local protective agent for Bali’s marine conservation. Through a qualitative study with descriptive analysis, the authors conclude that the immediate involvement of Pecalang Segara as a local community in implementing ISOP can encourage the formation of a more effective guidance scheme in implementing sustainability from the blue economy concept.
