DEMISTIFIKASI MEMUDARNYA PERAN NEGARA DALAM NEOLIBERALISME (Perdagangan Bebas dan Konflik Antar Negara dibawah Rezim WTO)

World economic order after the ratification of GATT (General Agreement On Tarrifs and Trade) shows some contractions and a number of controversies. The broadening of trade agenda in Uruguay round was a new phase of agreement among the countries. Ministerial meeting 1986 produced a declaration called Punta del Este. This consensus creates the establishment of WTO as the only multilateral institution to mediate any cooperations of global trade. WTO itself palys its role to sustain and make sure that the agenda of trade liberalization runs optimally. Nevertheless, amids the euphoria of trade liberalization discourse, some problems and polemic come up. They appear due to inconsistency of developed countries which implement protectionism policy on their some sectors of trade. Third world group then build a coalition to refuse every form of deception in free trade policy. This condition has caused the emergence of internal friction in the body of WTO In this paper, the author will try to analyze and explain the dynamic of trade liberalization policy among the countries after the establishment of WTO. The main focus are on 2 questions, first, why is there conflict of interest in WTO?, and second, how is the dialectical relation of protectionism with free trade system between developed countries and developing countries?  Subsequently, we will obtain a hypothese that market liberalization is never fully implemented instead. Doctrine of free market and the elimination of trade handicaps are not executed consistently by developed c,ountries. Third world countries even tend to be dictated and suppressed to eliminate all kinds of trade handicaps. This handicap include some regulations like subsidy, tarrief,quota, or taxation. So the consequence is the destruction or domestic market in third world due to their incompetence of capital against MNC and developed countries. Market liberalization under neoliberalism can be stated as a new form of Unilateralism in Economy. Stronger and more advanced countries manage to impose their national interest on many trade agreements. The massive integration of world economy has created disparity and imbalanced competition. World is divided by a world gigantic power of capital which exploit third world. Through the mechanism of capital and trade liberalization, our reality si underpinned by domination and monopoly.  Globalization of economy has become a trap for south countries which keeps maintaining wealth accumulation only to few capitalist and developed countries This writting aims to problematize the inconsistent rules implementation within WTO in term of trade policies among countries. Trade liberalization has been mostly taken for granted which in turn covers up certain form of protectionism on some strategic commodities. It has sparked debates about the role of WTO whether it can truly liberalize trade policies or it has surrendered to the strong and  significant role of government intervention in advanced countries

Melacak Political Linkage Gerakan Islam Politik dalam Partai-partai Islam di Negara-negara Mayoritas Muslim : Studi tentang PKS dan AKP di Indonesia dan Turki

This study seeks to carry out a critical analysis of the political Islam platform promoted by the PKS (Justice and Prosperity Party), Indonesia and the Justice Party and Development of the AKP (Adalet Kalkinma Partition), Turkey, by tracing political linkage to both parties. PKS and AKP are major Islamic parties in the world that have so far successfully fought in electoral competitions. How to use the mass base and Islamic sentiment in liberal parliamentary struggle is their biggest challenge. Comparison will be made to find the common thread concerning Islamic-style populism with the electoral strategy they use. Political Islam can ultimately be understood not only from the categories of morality, ethics, or religion, but also on the objective category based on political realism. The author believes that this theme is important and interesting after examining the development of identity politics movements that have occurred not only in Indonesia but also in several other countries in the world in the last 10 years. Analysis of the AKP and PKS must,however, be understood in two aspects, namely, first, a cross-over between liberal democracy and Islamic activism, and secondly, the tendency to change the political strategy of the Islamic party. The interplay between the interests of electoral achievement and the ideological vision is a big and dynamic dilemma. Of the various methods available, the research team in this study use qualitative research methods. Data is obtained through a literature review or study of relevant literature such as books, journals, news websites, or thesis or dissertation works. As for author's hypothesis is that first, PKS and AKP have political linkage in three things, first, the political vision of Islam which is heavily influenced by the Muslim Brotherhood movement, second, the construction of civil networks and organizations, and third, electoral strategies and compromise on liberal democracy. PKS and AKP in the end have been conditioned by a number of compromises and political pragmatism. Both are forced to adapt substantially in terms of changes in party models to be more open and plural. Thus, there is a convergence between political Islam and the flow of liberal democracy based on the typical political situation in Indonesia and Turkey

DIPLOMASI INDONESIA KE SERBIA DALAM MENGEKSTRADISI MARIA PAULINE LUMOWA TAHUN 2019-2020

Korupsi merupakan salah satu jenis kejahatan transnasional. Hal tersebut tertuang dalam Article 8 UNTOC tentang Criminalization of Corruption. Selain itu, korupsi menjadi masalah krusial yang belum bisa teratasi dengan baik di Indonesia. Tingkat korupsi di Indonesia telah mencapai level sistemik dan berdampak besar di berbagai bidang. Salah satu permasalahan yang terdapat dalam percepatan penanganan pemberantasan korupsi di Indonesia adalah para pelaku tindak pidana korupsi yang kerap kali melarikan diri ke luar negeri untuk menghindari proses hukum. Upaya untuk menangkap pelaku korupsi yang melarikan diri dan menjalankan proses hukum tetap dilakukan oleh Indonesia. Salah satu upaya yang dilakukan oleh Indonesia adalah ekstradisi. Lazimnya ekstradisi dilakukan dengan prosedur formal atau didasari perjanjian ekstradisi antara kedua negara. Salah satu kasus pelaku tindak pidana korupsi yang melarikan diri ke luar negeri dan berhasil diekstradisi melalui prosedur non formal adalah Maria Pauline Lumowa. Maria Pauline Lumowa adalah pelaku pembobolan Bank BNI Cabang Kebayoran Baru Tahun 2003 dan mengakibatkan kerugian sebesar 1,7 triliun rupiah. Maria Pauline Lumowa berhasil ditangkap di Bandara Nikola Tesla, Serbia tahun 2019 lalu. Walaupun Indonesia dan Serbia belum memiliki perjanjian ekstradisi, namun ekstradisi tetap dapat dilakukan dan berhasil. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini akan membahas mengenai diplomasi Indonesia sehingga Indonesia dapat berhasil mengekstradisi Maria Pauline Lumowa setelah 17 tahun masa pelarianny

A Chronicle of Indonesia’s Forest Management: A Long Step towards Environmental Sustainability and Community Welfare

Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country in the world, with 17,000 islands of varying sizes and elevations, from lowlands to very high mountains, stretching more than 5000 km eastward from Sabang in Aceh to Merauke in Papua. Although occupying only 1.3% of the world’s land area, Indonesia possesses the third-largest rainforest and the second-highest level of biodiversity, with very high species diversity and endemism. However, during the last two decades, Indonesia has been known as a country with a high level of deforestation, a producer of smoke from burning forests and land, and a producer of carbon emissions. The aim of this paper is to review the environmental history and the long process of Indonesian forest management towards achieving environmental sustainability and community welfare. To do this, we analyze the milestones of Indonesian forest management history, present and future challenges, and provide strategic recommendations toward a viable Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) system. Our review showed that the history of forestry management in Indonesia has evolved through a long process, especially related to contestation over the control of natural resources and supporting policies and regulations. During the process, many efforts have been applied to reduce the deforestation rate, such as a moratorium on permitting primary natural forest and peat land, land rehabilitation and soil conservation, environmental protection, and other significant regulations. Therefore, these efforts should be maintained and improved continuously in the future due to their significant positive impacts on a variety of forest areas toward the achievement of viable SFM. Finally, we conclude that the Indonesian government has struggled to formulate sustainable forest management policies that balance economic, ecological, and social needs, among others, through developing and implementing social forestry instruments, developing and implementing human resource capacity, increasing community literacy, strengthening forest governance by eliminating ambiguity and overlapping regulations, simplification of bureaucracy, revitalization of traditional wisdom, and fair law enforcement
