This paper looks at how Indonesia contributes to the creation of a relatively peaceful and stable Southeast Asian region after the Cold War. It examines Jakarta's diplomacy in the South China Sea, and explains its implications for the making of the regional order. The argument is that Indonesia's impact on regional security has been apparent in its attention to the improvement of rule-based interaction among states in the region. However, recent developments have demonstrated that Indonesia's initiatives, formulated in the Indo-Pacific Cooperation Concept, are unsuccessful due to the lack of support from other ASEAN states. This paper shows that great powers politics in the troubled waters has hindered the advancement of Indonesian's orderdriven policy.

Russia's engagement in Eurasian integration highlights the challenges that Russia faces in Asia. Russia needs to re-establish political and economic influence in the region to maintain her eastward-focused integration drive, including building a southeastwards bridge to China and Asia Pacific. In this context, the cooperative nature of Russian policies is the conditio sine qua non for the establishment of the Eurasian Economic Union in 2015. This article examines Russia's integration policy in relation to Central Asia and beyond, towards Asia as a continent. Regional integration is very much a popular idea, with the potential for economic benefits and increased international influence. Significant steps were taken towards the creation of the Eurasian Economic Union. However, to implement its regional initiatives and to become a more visible player in the regional multilateral institutions, Russia will have to overcome both domestic and international limitations it faces. Russia's current alienation from the West and its growing dependency on China may push the country to actively seek better ways to accomplish this mission. ; Russia's engagement in Eurasian integration highlights the challenges that Russia faces in Asia.

This study aims to explain how the psychological process affects perceived organizational politics (POP) toward organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB). The paradoxical effect of POP to OCB needs to be explained through two psychological processes: First, the mediation effect of psychological safety which explains POP as a barrier to OCB. Second, the mediation effect of careerism which explains POP as an OCB driver. One of the government institutions in Malang District used as research objects, involving 97 employees as respondents. A quantitative approach using Partial Least Square (PLS) used as the method of this study. The results showed careerism mediated the relationship between POP and OCB. But the surprising result is that psychological safety cannot mediate the effect of POP to OCB because employees feel that there is no high threat of doing voice behaviour, helping behaviour and individual initiatives in the political environment. These results indicate that OCB is a safe activity when it does not contrary to other people's self-interest, so it does not cause a conflict.

See the development of games and multimedia at this time, and reinforced by the weak understanding of the younger generation of Indonesia about the culture of his own country. Therefore, the author took the initiative to create a mobile game that raised one of the culture of the country of Indonesia in general, especially for the provinces contained in the island of Sumatra. In the process of making this game the author uses Adobe Flash Professional Creative Suite 5.5 software for making all the characters, background and sound effects. Because in Flash itself already there are some sound library that can be used for the needs of the application in this game that the author made. For the programming language used the author uses only one programming language that is ActionScript 3.0. this programming language is functional enough to build a game, because it is supported with Object Oriented Programming which facilitate in making this game. In the latest version of Adobe Flash it is now possible to publish data into applications gained in instal on mobile devices, in this case android, making it possible to create android applications without having to abandon actionscript as the programming language used. It is expected that with this game will the user's understanding of cultural diversity in Indonesia, especially the island of Sumatra will be better understood and known

This study examines the performance of the regional council in serving of channeling aspirations of the people in West Java, Indonesia. This is possible because West Java province is an autonomous regional authority to regulate and manage the interests of the community and Government Affairs at its own initiative based on the aspirations of the people. The study uses a qualitative approach in order to get the natural settings in which there were many behaviors and events occurred. This study also uses an institutional theory (institutionalism), because the theory could lead the researchers on the structure, regulation and institutional procedures which could have a significant impact on a public policy and it should not be ignored in policy analysis. This study finds that in order to carry out their functions as elected representatives, the members of the provincial representative council always make themselves available for the community. To that end, the members of the provincial parliament, among others, absorb and collect the aspirations of the constituents through regular working visits; accommodate and follow up the aspirations and complaints; and give morally and politically accountable to the constituencies. In addition to receiving complaints that come to the Parliament's office, public aspiration was performed on working visits on a regular basis by members of Regional Representative Council for each electoral district at the time of recess. In terms of transparency, all the services were conducted in a transparent manner. Even so, some people still doubt the veracity of such transparency.

Since the fall of the New Order regime, the courage to sue the state began to reverberate dipentas unitary national politics. The emergence of the idea of a federal state (united state) is the antithesis of the implementation of regional autonomy in Indonesia based on Law No.5 of 1974 on the Principles of Local Government is in the very setralisti. Through these legal instruments are the restraints and the dominance of local independence done so strict and systematic. Though conceptually the real regional autonomy is the freedom of movement (of expression) should be given to the autonomous regions to conduct their own initiatives to manage the interests of society in the region. Therefore there is a presumption that the imposition of the concept of regional autonomy through the form of a unitary state did not take the welfare of people in the region because the laws on local government implementation of the new order which is conceptually very repressive, also followed well as the behavior of authoritarian governments, harassing human rights, setralisme power sucking resources into the central region. To overcome this, then the solution is the democratization and decentralization of power through regional autonomy the broadest, not by changing the form of the state of federalism, but by changing the way state officials are concerned interestexistence of regions including the utilization of natural resources equity and pluralism (diversity) regions. This is where the importance of regional autonomy as one of the vanguard of the unitary Republic of Indonesia guard.Keywords: Unitary - Federal - Regional Autonomy

In standing at the threshold of the 21st Century, a century that will be characterized by competition, it is dominated by those with advanced technological capability, high productivity, modern and efficient transport and communication infrastructure. It will bring the competition that will necessitate highly skilled personnel imbued with initiative. But many organizations are not focusing on employees areas, especially on their weakness. It cannot be denied that any sophisticated owned infrastructure will not operate at its optimum efficiency without quality human resources. Increasing professionalism and responsibility by recruiting quality human resources is at the core of everything. In public organization or government, civil servants should rank highest priority in development because they are at the core of the organization, supporting the system.
