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...

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.
Ideology and International Institutions
A new theoretical framework for understanding how social, economic, and political conflicts influence international institutions and their place in the global order Today’s liberal international institutional order is being challenged by the rising power of illiberal states and by domestic political changes inside liberal states. Against this backdrop, Ideology and International Institutions offers a broader understanding of international institutions by arguing that the politics of multilateralism has always been based on ideology and ideological divisions. Erik Voeten develops new theories and measures to make sense of past and current challenges to multilateral institutions. Voeten pres...
Poverty Reduction for Inclusive Sustainable Growth in Developing Asia
This book provides practical policy recommendations that are useful for developing Asia and for accelerating poverty reduction plans in the rest of the world. Poverty reduction in all its forms remains one of the greatest challenges facing humanity. In developing Asia, rapid growth in countries and sub-regions such as China, India, and Southeast Asia has lifted millions out of poverty, but progress has been uneven. On the other hand, the current coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the global economic recession that it has caused are pushing millions of people back into poverty. Poverty reduction, inclusive growth, and sustainable development are inseparable, and poverty reduction is the prem...
Inequality of Opportunity
Eight papers, both theoretical and applied, on the concept of equality of opportunity which says that a society should guarantee its members equal access to advantage regardless of their circumstances, while holding them responsible for turning that access into actual advantage by the application of effort.
The Community of Advantage
Normative analysis in economics usually aims at satisfying individuals' preferences, valuing economic freedom and viewing markets favourably. Behavioural research, however, shows that individuals' preferences are often unstable. Robert Sugden proposes a reformulation of normative economics compatible with psychology of choice.
