Sailing In Waves
Dapat dikatakan sebagai salah satu tonggam penting perjalanan Bangsa Indonesia, Poros Maritim Dunia merupakan kelanjutan ide Negara Kepulauan (archipelagic state) yang diakui PBB melalui United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). Pada praktiknya, perjuangan mewujudkan Poros Maritim Dunia menjumpai banyak tantangan. Indonesia pertama kali perlu mengembalikan laut sebagai indentitas nasional yang kini banyak dilupakan. Dalam waktu yang lama, bukan saja kedaulatan Indonesia yang dilanggar, tetapi juga kekayaan laut yang dicuri oleh kapal-kapal asing. Tantangan berikutnya, pembangunan pelabuhan dan kapal-kapal yang memadai. Masalah yang tidak kurang pentingnya adalah sumberdaya manusia serta sinkronisasi kebijakan pusat dan daerah dalam pengembangan Poros Maritim Dunia. Pencanangan Poros Maritim Dunia merupakan titik tolak kesadaran baru, karena berhasil membuka kembali mata kita akan kekayaan negeri yang terbengkalai, serta kebanggaan sebagai Negara Bahari. Terlepas dari berbagai kritik, Poros Maritim Dunia perlu terus dikembangkan, sehingga potensi laut dapat dimanfaatkan semaksimal mungkin untuk kemajuan dan kesejahteraan rakyat Indonesia
Gastrodiplomasi Indonesia
Setiap negara berusaha menghubungkan kulinernya dengan identitas nasional masing-masing, tak terkecuali Indonesia. Namun, berbeda dengan negara lainnya, Indonesia memiliki nilai lebih atau 'bonus' karena keberagaman suku yang menyebar ke seluruh penjuru negeri, secara otomatis melahirkan budaya yang beragam pula, termasuk kuliner sebagai salah satu elemennya. Dengan kekayaan kulinernya tersebut, Indonesia sangat mampu dalam hal gastrodiplomasi, yakni menjadikan kuliner sebagai sarana untuk mengenalkan budaya suatu negara ke dunia internasional. Bahkan, perjalanan gastrodiplomasi Indonesia sejatinya telah bermula sejak era kepemimpinan Presiden Soekarno, dan terus mengalami peningkatan yang s...

Ideology and International Institutions
Can international institutions help create more cooperative and peaceful relations between states? If so, how? And what motivates states to create meaningful institutions in the first place? Though theorists and researchers have approached these questions from different schools of thought, the commonality among them is that institutions are apolitical and their purpose is to assure common gains or develop shared social norms and identities. Institutions succeed if they rise above petty power politics and fail when they succumb to political confrontations. In this book, Erik Voeten offers a new broader understanding of international institutions. Current theories offer conflicting portraits o...
Humanitarian Diplomacy
Humanitarian professionals are on the front lines of today's internal armed conflicts, working with politicians and diplomats in countries wracked by violence, in capitals of donor governments that underwrite humanitarian work, as well as within the United Nations Security Council and providing information to the media. This publication sets out a compendium of essays written by 14 senior humanitarian practitioners who led humanitarian operations in settings as diverse as the Balkans and Nepal, Somalia and East Timor, and across a time frame from the 1970s in Cambodia and 1980s in Lebanon to more recent engagement in Colombia and Iraq.
China Dream: Still Coming True?
At a time when the economic transition in China is casting shadows on the weak world recovery, and the country is further increasing military spending at double-digit rates, it is key to assess how far President Xi has gone in fulfilling the “China Dream” of ascendance to cultural, economic and military power. Even more important is to try to figure out what the substance of the “China Dream” is likely to be in the near future. The current risk is that the Chinese people and the Chinese government are dreaming different dreams, and that Xi’s “China Dream” might be more a dream for the country and much less so for the people. China has recently reached a series of symbolic milestones: the Yuan’s inclusion in the IMF’s SDR basket; the new China-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB); the market economy status by a number of countries. The 2016 Chinese G20 Presidency will provide a timely occasion for China to better define its role in global economic governance. However, progress on reforms is lagging behind expectations and international tensions are on the rise. This volume explores the viability of the China Dream and analyzes its major challenges.
China's International Projection in the Xi Jinping Era
This book illustrates the current state of China’s economic and trade relations from the perspective from different countries in the Xi Jinping era. The content is divided into five parts, the first of which traces the development of the Chinese economy starting with the reforms of the 1980s. The second part notes some distinctive elements of China’s positioning in the global economy, while the third describes the state of relations between the United States and China under the Trump presidency. The fourth part focuses on diplomatic and economic equilibria in East Asia, Central and Southern Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America. In turn, the last part addresses relations between China and various European countries. Given its scope, the book is a must-read for economists, policymakers and professionals from around the globe, interested in a better understanding of China’s economic prospects in the Xi Jinping era.
Environmental Conflicts, Migration and Governance
The globalized era is characterized by a high degree of interconnectedness across borders and continents and this includes human migration. Migration flows have led to new governance challenges and, at times, populist political backlashes. A key driver of migration is environmental conflict and this is only likely to increase with the effects of climate change. Bringing together world-leading researchers from across political science, environmental studies, economics and sociology, this urgent book uses a multifaceted theoretical and methodological approach to delve into core questions and concerns surrounding migration, climate change and conflict, providing invaluable insights into one of the most pressing global issues of our time.

Negotiate, Persuade And Create Great Deals
Negotiation comes up in our daily lives in so many interactions — in job interviews, while buying a house, and even when deciding where to go on a date or discussing your teenager's curfew. Executives are routinely expected to negotiate — with vendors, customers and each other — with little training or experience. Companies rely on their people to negotiate multi-million dollar deals, but fail to provide even basic negotiation tools.Negotiate, Persuade and Create Great Deals brings together cutting-edge research on negotiation from neuroscience, evolutionary theory and behavioral psychology along with interviews and insights with 25 master negotiators in business, politics, sports and diplomacy. We provide tools and techniques that can help executives and business professionals improve their ability to negotiate deals, while also laying out a framework that can support companies that wish to improve their organizational negotiation capabilities.
