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...

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

With this book the editors complete the three-volume series on modern Japanese colonialism and imperialism that began with The Japanese Colonial Empire, 1895-1945 (Princeton, 1983) and The Japanese Informal Empire in China, 1895-1937 (Princeton, 1989). The Japanese military takeover in Manchuria between 1931 and 1932 was a critical turning point in East Asian history. It marked the first surge of Japanese aggression beyond the boundaries of its older colonial empire and set Japan on a collision course with China and Western colonial powers from 1937 through 1945. These essays seek to illuminate some of the more significant processes and institutions during the period when the empire was at w...

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...
This paper examines the different arguments raised by the studies that addressed the East Asian growth experience. The original arguments presented in this paper are all on the negative side, highlighting problems associated with some of the possible explanations for the East Asian miracle. The paper concentrates mainly on four dimensions of the debate about the East Asian growth experience: (i) The nature of economic growth intensive or extensive?; (ii) The role of public policy and of selective interventions; (iii) The role of high investment rates and a strong export orientation as possible engines of growth; and (iv) The importance of the initial conditions and their relevance for policy.
