Under the deteriorated global outlook, East Asia is projected to do much better than Europe and North America. Enjoying a windfall from the risen prices of primary commodities, Indonesia is also projected to perform well in 2023, if not, a little weaker than in 2022. Going deeper into macroeconomic details, like household consumption and gauging conditions in some industries, offer a differentiated picture that strategists in governments and corporations will need to look into while striving to navigate the disrupted environment as winner.
Analysis and case studies of emerging forms of private, public, and hybrid social and environmental governance. The effects of globalization on governance are complex and uncertain. As markets integrate, governments have become increasingly hesitant to enforce regulations inside their own jurisdictions. At the same time, multilateralism has proven unsuccessful in coordinating states' responses to global challenges. In this book, Lena Partzsch describes alternatives to multilateralism, offering analyses and case studies of emerging—alternative—forms of private, public, and hybrid social and environmental regulation. In doing so, she offers a unique overview of cutting-edge approaches to g...
In Resource Nationalism in Indonesia, Eve Warburton traces nationalist policy trajectories in Indonesia back to the preferences of big local business interests. Commodity booms often prompt more nationalist policy styles in resource-rich countries. Usually, this nationalist push weakens once a boom is over. But in Indonesia, a major global exporter of coal, palm oil, nickel, and other minerals, the intensity of nationalist policy interventions increased after the early twenty-first-century commodity boom came to an end. Equally puzzling, the state applied nationalist policies unevenly across the land and resource sectors. Resource Nationalism in Indonesia explains these trends by examining the economic and political benefits that accrue to domestic business actors when commodity prices soar. Warburton shows how the centrality of patronage to Indonesia's democratic political economy, and the growing importance of mining and palm oil as drivers of export earnings, enhanced both the instrumental and structural power of major domestic companies, giving them new influence over the direction of nationalist change.
By any indicator, Indonesia, the fourth most populous nation on earth, is a development success story. Yet 20 years after a deep economic and political crisis, it is still in some respects an economy in transition. The country recovered from the 1997–98 crisis and navigated the path from authoritarian to democratic rule surprisingly quickly and smoothly. It survived the 2008–09 global financial crisis and the end of the China-driven commodity super boom in 2014 with little difficulty. It is now embarking on its fifth round of credible national elections in the democratic era. It is in the process of graduating to the upper middle-income ranks. But, as the 25 contributors to this comprehe...

Siapakah yang berkuasa menyebut seseorang dalam kondisi sehat atau sakit? Gagasan sederhana tersebut yang menjadi titik awal dari ide buku ini. Secara cermat dan tajam, kedua penulis berhasil mencelikkan mata publik terkait dominasi nalar instrumentalis dalam praktik kedokteran yang masih cenderung menempatkan pasien sebagai objek semata. Buku ini mengajak pembaca untuk bertualang dalam labirin tiga gagasan besar: tindakan komunikatif Habermas, genealogi rumah sakit Foucault, dan praktik wacana Fairclough. Buku yang penting dibaca oleh praktisi dan akademisi di bidang medis maupun sosial, dan siapa saja yang memimpikan praktik klinis sebagai ruang publik kesehatan yang egaliter. Selamat memb...
