This paper empirically investigates the causes of bank failures in Japan and Indonesia. Using logistic regression analysis of financial ratios, we explore the usefulness of domestic bank failure prediction models with a cross-country model that allows for cross-correlation of the error terms. Our results suggest that loans, both as a ratio to total assets, deposits and in some cases the ratio of non-performing loans, are the most significant predictors of bank failure in both Japan and Indonesia. Regulatory capital ratios, on the contrary, do not seem to be significant indicators of failure. In addition to the domestic models, we explore the usefulness of a cross-country model of bank failure prediction and find that this model outperforms the domestic models on several diagnostic tests.

Indonesia is currently in a serious trouble as public sphere which used to be dominated by the state and currently occupied by the market in order to satisfy the business. The barriers for institutionalize freedom of press for democratizing Indonesia not only appear from the way the state exercise its power but also from the bussines work in the market. In order to solve that problem, the author suggests that developing a strong and independent ethics of journalism is a strategic, yet difficult challenge to be met by journalist community. The challenge essentially is not merely to make sure that the ethics match with the interest of the bussinesses in maximising their profit and to match the interest of the state in making use of coercion, but also to make them culturally compatible.

Uncritical understanding of the notion of nation-state in Indonesia has led a discredit to ethno-nationalism, which essentially is the primary form of nationalism in favour of the secondary form of nationalism. The former refers to a shared imagination of being a member of ethnic group, and the later refers to a shared feeling of being a citizen of the state. Such a mistreatment of ethno-nationalism in governing the state has troubled the state itself as demand of more local autonomy sprang out. It is through a process of political decentralization that the state attempt to accommodate demand for expressing ethno-nationalism. The difficult process of negotiating transition toward a democratic order in Indonesia is eased by the state's capability to redefine the meaning of nationalism and local autonomy.

Led for the most part by Thailand, ASEAN sustained international opposition to Vietnam's 1978 invasion of Cambodia until the winding down of the Cold War forced Vietnam to retreat. Foreign Minister Siddhi Sawetsila deflected several attempts by Indonesia and Malaysia to shift ASEAN away from strong opposition to Vietnam's occupation, pursuing this policy until Thailand's main security concerns had been secured. Broad domestic support helped maintain Thailand's dominance within ASEAN, though government policy was often under attack. However, Thai policy lost coherence when Chatichai Choonhavan became Prime Minister in August 1988. Prime ministerial advisers, the military and the Foreign Ministry all competed for influence, allowing Indonesia to assume leadership of ASEAN's Cambodia policy in the run-up to the 1991 Paris Accords.

Dalam era globalisasi seperti sekarang ini, sistem hukum nasional suatu bangsa tidak lagi dapat melepaskan diri dari pengaruh sekelilingnya. Pengaruh itu dapat berasal dari sistem hukum yang ada di seluruh dunia maupun fenomena sosiologis yang terjadi. Persoalannya adalah bagaimana membangun hukum yang terstruktur sosial Indonesia tanpa meninggalkan trends globalisasi yang melingkupinya. Oleh karena itu diperlukan adaptasi kecenderungan internasional/Konvensi Internasional ke dalam Hukum Nasional. Kecenderungan tersebut tersirat dan tersurat dalam berbagai instrumen internasional seperti: konvensi, deklarasi, resolusi, "guidelines, code of conduct, standard minimum rules". Konvensi internasional tentang HAM yang dipandang penting untuk segera ditransformasikan ke dalam sistem hukum Indonesia adalah Kovenan Internasional tentang Hak Ekonomi, Sosial, Budaya, Kovenan Internasional tentang Hak Sipil dan Politik, Protokol Fakultatif pada Kovenan Internasional tentang Hak Sipil dan Politik.

As one of the countries that ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1990 which was subsequently promulgated into the Child Protection Act, Indonesia is still unsuccessful in protecting children. This mainly occurs in the context of protection illegal migrant workers' children who were born in the country where their parents work. In Sarawak, Malaysia, for instance, there are 43,445 stateless children. This study aims to portray the stateless children in Sarawak, Malaysia, and the efforts of the Indonesian government to protect their right to access justice. This research is normative-qualitative with observations and in-depth interviews with consultant general staff and Indonesian volunteers In Sarawak as one of the main research methods. The results of this study indicate that stateless condition makes it possible for the children to get other rights, such as education. Meanwhile, the Indonesian government has already made regulations and efforts to provide access to basic human rights for children of stateless migrant workers, including itsbat nikah abroad to legalize unregistered marriage among workers. However, it has not been fully successful because the problems are so complex that it needs to involve several parties, especially the Malaysian government, and plantation owners as employers of the migrant workers. Likewise, harder and more coordinated efforts are also needed to fulfill their citizenship right. (Sebagai salah satu negara yang meratifikasi Konvensi PBB tentang Hak Anak pada 1990 dan kemudian dikristalkan menjadi Undang-undang Perlidungan Anak, Indonesia ternyata belum sepenuhnya berhasil melindungi hak-hak anak. Ini utamanya berlaku dalam konteks perlindungan terhadap anak para buruh migran yang lahir dan tinggal di negara tempat orang tuanya bekerja. Di Sarawak, Malaysia, ada 43.445 anak-anak tanpa kewarganegaraan. Penelitian ini bertujuan memotret kondisi anak buruh migran ilegal tanpa kewarganegaraan di Serawak, Malaysia, serta menjelaskan upaya pemerintah Indonesia untuk melindungi hak-hak mereka. Penelitian ini bersifat normatif-kualitatif dengan observasi dan wawancara mendalam kepada pegawai Konsulat Jenderal dan relawan Indonesia sebagai salah satu metode penggalian data utamanya. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa status tanpa kewarganegaraan menghalangi anak-anak tersebut mengakses hak-haknya yang lain, semisal pendidikan. Sementara itu, pemerintah Indonesia sudah memiliki beberapa aturan tertulis dan berupaya memberikan akses keadilan bagi anak para buruh migran tersebut, termasuk melalui program itsbat nikah di luar negeri. Namun demikian, situasi belum sepenuhnya terkendali karena permasalahan yang begitu kompleks dan mengharuskan keterlibatan banyak pihak, utamanya pemerintah Malaysia dan para pemilik perkebunan. Perlu juga dilakukan upaya yang lebih keras dan terkordinasi agar hak-hak tersebut dapat terpenuhi.)
