Realism has been the dominant conceptual approach to studying Indonesian foreign policy. This article, however, considers realist analyses to be insucient since their emphasis on the struggle for power and security in the system of states has led to the neglect of the importance of perspectives which focus on order. To ll the gap it then intends to apply the English School perspective which focuses on the concept of international society to trace the nature and function of Indonesian foreign policy. Two cases are examined, including the Asian African Conference and Association of South East Asian Nations, to demonstrate the relevance of international society for policy ideas and action. The central argument is that the Indonesian elite worldview indicates that the creation and maintenance of order in international societies are ones which are prominent objectives legitimizing the conduct of Indonesia's external relations.

This study aims to determine the formulation of strategies that can be used in facing the challenges of implementation of innovation policies in realising sustainable development in the community environment with the case study of the Indonesia Village Government. The innovation policy aims to improve the quality in the use of village funds and also to encourage productivity and development in rural areas as well as build sustainable village capacity to improve the socio-economic welfare of the community and the independence of the village. This qualitative research uses a case study approach through field research in the village local government. We identified several challenges in the implementation of the innovation policy. In overcoming these challenges, as well as successfully implementing the policy, the role of innovative behaviour on the part of policy makers at the village level is importance. With an exploration strategy approach, entrepreneurial strategies and open and collaborative approaches used by various parties are also required in the successful implementation of innovation policy. The development of future research related to innovation policy relevant to the characteristics of rural communities is still very much needed.
Recently the impact of climate change has been an increasingly important policy issue to the Indonesian government. It makes serious programs to support the global climate change mitigation action. This article is aimed at analyzing the application of Indonesia's climate change policy. The focus is on crucial problems that constrain its effectiveness both at international and domestic levels. The discussions indicate that Indonesia's multilateral diplomacy to protect the environment is affected by the rise of global power politics as the consequence of the contestation between China and the United States. Meanwhile, internal actions are hindered by the complex social, economic, and cultural barriers. The efficacy of the policy is considerably weakened. To conclude, however, this author tries to offer some potential solutions for strategic planning and policy improvement.
Many fishermen in Indonesia have not fully utilized marine resources properly. However, the government has several ways to improve the welfare of fishermen in other sectors than the fisheries; one of them is connecting between fishermen, coastal and tourism. Meninting of West Lombok is a strategic coastal village for the tourism sector. This village has started to develop tourist destinations since 2011, unfortunately, there is no data on fishermen as a real interest group. This study develops a research pattern on fishing communities which generally discusses the social resources of fishermen and the political aspects of fishing communities separately. This study used a qualitative approach to the social mapping method. Data obtained through interviews and observations of purposively selected informants. The data related to fishermen resources are in maps, followed by an analysis of their accessibility to policy. Spatial aspects strengthen their social resources, interests, and accessibilities to coastal tourism development. The results show that the social resources of fishermen of Meninting Village are unevenly distributed in five dusun (sub-villages). Indicators shown are; capital ownership, mastery of knowledge and skills, ownership of production equipment, use of science and technology, ability to diversify production, fishermen's sociopolitical relations and ability to recognize the economic prospects of coastal tourism. Fishermen who live in areas directly facing the sea have better social resources and firmer interests in coastal development. The accessibility of fishing groups is limited in the development policy. Only fishermen in sub-village located in a coastal area can show themselves as defenders. While the fishermen who live far from the beach tend to be latent or even apathetic. This study recommends the need for other social mapping studies on the characteristics of coastal communities and the need for the government to use the social mapping information of fishing communities to formulate policies that contain regional aspects in coastal tourism development. ; Nelayan belum menikmati dengan baik kesejahteraan dari sumber daya laut Indonesia. Cara-cara meningkatkan kesejahteraan nelayan di luar sektor perikanan sudah dimiliki oleh pemerintah. Salah satunya mengaitkan nelayan, pesisir dan wisata. Meninting di Lombok Barat adalah desa pesisir yang strategis di sektor pariwisata. Desa ini sudah mulai melakukan pengembangan destinasi wisata sejak tahun 2011, namun sayangnya tidak ada data mengenai nelayan sebagai kelompok kepentingan yang riil. Penelitian ini mengembangkan pola penelitian-penelitian tentang masyarakat nelayan pada umumnya yang membahas secara terpisah antara sumberdaya sosial nelayan dan aspek politik masyarakat nelayan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan menggunakan metode pemetaan sosial. Data diperoleh melalui wawancara dan observasi terhadap informan yang dipilih secara purposif. Data terkait dengan sumber daya nelayan disajikan dalam bentuk peta, diikuti dengan analisis mengenai aksesibilitas mereka terhadap kebijakan. Aspek spasial memperkuat sumberdaya sosial yang dimiliki nelayan, kepentingan dan aksesibilitas mereka terhadap pembangunan wisata pesisir. Penelitian menunjukkan sumber daya sosial nelayan di Desa Meninting tersebar tidak merata pada lima dusun. Indikator yang ditunjukkan adalah; kepemilikan modal, penguasaan pengetahuan dan keterampilan, kepemilikan alat produksi, penggunaan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi, kemampuan diversifikasi hasil produksi, hubungan sosial-politik nelayan dan kemampuan untuk mengenali prospek ekonomi wisata pesisir. Nelayan yang tinggal di wilayah yang langsung berhadapan dengan laut memiliki sumberdaya sosial yang lebih baik dan kepentingan yang lebih tegas terhadap pembangunan pesisir. Aksesibilitas kelompok nelayan terbatas dalam kebijakan pembangunan tersebut. Hanya nelayan-nelayan di dusun pesisir yang mampu menunjukkan diri sebagai defenders. Sementara nelayan-nelayan yang tinggal berjauhan dari pantai cenderung latents atau bahkan apathetic. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan perlunya kajian sosio-spasial lainnya mengenai karakteristik masyarakat pesisir dan perlunya pemerintah memanfaatkan informasi sosio-spasial masyarakat nelayan untuk merumuskan kebijakan-kebijakan yang memuat aspek kewilayahan dalam pembangunan wisata pesisir.
This paper attempts to establish a causal relationship between a government micro and small enterprises (MSEs) credit promotion policy and MSEs' upward transitions and growth. Indonesian firm level data in conjunction with the cancellation of a mandatory MSE credit policy in 2001 by the Indonesian government are employed in the analysis. Firstly, estimations of the year-on-year micro to small size category transitions indicate the negative effect of the policy change on the upward transition of micro firms. Secondly, causal effect analysis using difference-in-differences (DiD) estimation, by employing the policy change as an exogenous shock on the MSE credit availability and setting medium and large enterprises (MLEs) as the counterfactual group, suggests that the policy cancellation reduces the probability of a micro firm to become a small firm by 1.3% relative to the MLEs' probability of transitioning between size categories. The negative effect on turnover growth is also identified.
