Diantara isu ekonomi melemah ini, masyarakat Indonesia dikagetkan dengan datangnya tenaga kerja asing (TKA) dari negara tetangga. Tingginya arus TKA yang datang dari negara-negara tetangga ke Indonesia ini, terutama Tiongkok, tidak diantisipasi oleh pemerintah Indonesia. Walau angkanya masih simpang siur, sekurang-kurangnya terdapat 5,000 orang buruh yang kini baru tercatat bekerja di Indonesia (Tempo, 31 Agustus 2015). Kebijakan Masyarakat Ekonomi ASEAN (MEA) yang efektif di tanggal 31 Desember 2015 ini juga akan menambah banjirnya tenaga kerja asing ke negara kita ini karena dipermudahnya izin. Alhasil, lulusan-lulusan perguruan tinggi Indonesia harus berkompetisi dengan para calon ekspatriat asing dalam lapangan kerja yang terus memadat. Ditambah regulasi yang terus membuka keran investasi pada asing untuk mengatasi perlambatan ekonomi, kesiapan Indonesia untuk menampung para tenaga kerja asing patut dipertanyakan.
Keadilan transformatif merupakan keadilan yang tidak begitu diperhatikan dalam penyelesaian anak yang berkonflik dengan hukum. Umumnya keadilan restoratif selalu diutamakan, padahal keadilan transformatif memiliki pendekatan lebih mendalam, tidak sekadar menganalisis kejahatan seseorang dari perbuatan nyatanya, tetapi mendalaminya dari dimensi ekonomi, sosial, politik, dan sosial secara menyeluruh. Untuk itu buku ini hadir dengan memaparkan bagaimana konsep keadilan transformatif dapat berperan dalam penyelesaian perkara anak.

"In this book Marx's theory of ideology is re-examined and contrasted with the position of Althusser. On the basis of the Marxist theory of ideology, the existing reading methods are examined and found to be inadequate, and a new method is proposed. Law is examined as a classical form of ideology and its role as an ideological force in society is described. In this examination classical Marxist theory is criticised. A method for reading the ideological composition of law is outlined. The book can be seen as a contribution to social theory and methodology and as a critique of recent structuralist approaches to ideology and society. It is a detailed attempt to explore the basic Marxist position that ideologies are reflections of social relations and an attempt to see what this means in theory and in the practice of sociological research. This book will be of considerable interest to students and researchers in the humanities and social sciences." -- Backcover.
They say there was or there wasn't in olden times a story as old as life, as young as this moment, a story that is yours and is mine. Once in a Promised Land is the story of Jassim and Salwa, who left the deserts of their native Jordan for those of Arizona, each chasing mirages of opportunity and freedom. Although the couple live far from Ground Zero, they cannot escape the dust cloud of paranoia settling over the nation. A hydrologist, Jassim believes passionately in his mission to make water accessible to all people, but his work is threatened by an FBI witch hunt for domestic terrorists. A Palestinian now twice displaced, Salwa embraces the American dream. She grapples to put down roots in an unwelcoming climate, becoming pregnant against her husband's wishes. When Jassim kills a teenage boy in a terrible accident and Salwa becomes hopelessly entangled with a shadowy young American, their tenuous lives in exile and their fragile marriage begin to unravel. Once in a Promised Land is a dramatic and achingly honest look at what it means to straddle cultures, to be viewed with suspicion, and to struggle to find safe haven.

This is a brilliant and revelatory first novel by a woman who is both an Arab and an American, who speaks with both voices and understands both worlds. Through the narratives of four cousins at the brink of maturity, Laila Halaby immerses her readers in the lives, friendships, and loves of girls struggling with national, ethnic, and sexual identities. Mawal is the stable one, living steeped in the security of Palestinian traditions in the West Bank. Hala is torn between two worlds-in love in Jordan, drawn back to the world she has come to love in Arizona. Khadija is terrified by the sexual freedom of her American friends, but scarred, both literally and figuratively, by her father's abusive behavior. Soraya is lost in trying to forge an acceptable life in a foreign yet familiar land, in love with her own uncle, and unable to navigate the fast culture of California youth. Interweaving their stories, allowing us to see each cousin from multiple points of view, Halaby creates a compelling and entirely original story, a window into the rich and complicated Arab world.
Steel companies were at the birth of the modern business corporation. The first billion dollar corporation ever formed was U.S. Steel in 1901. By the mid-twentieth century the steel mill and the automobile plant were the two pillars upon which the twentieth century industrial economy rested. Given the scale of capital and operations, vertical integration was seen to be pivotal, from the raw materials of iron ore and coal on one end of the supply chain to the myriad of finished products on the other. By the end of the twentieth century, however, things had dramatically changed. Take a look inside for a brilliant and concise history of the steel industry. The author has put together a true pre...
