Upaya Diplomasi Indonesia terhadap Klaim China atas Zona Ekonomi Eksklusif Indonesia di Laut Natuna

Fitra Deni, Lukman Sahri — Fri, 01 Dec 2017 00:00:00 +0700

The Natuna Sea is the territorial sea of Indonesia, which is directly adjacent to the South China Sea. The Natuna Sea region, part of the Indonesia’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), is very rich in natural gas, oil, and various kinds of fish. China claims the territory as their traditional territorial waters in the Nine-Dash Line Map based on the Chinese version historical facts. In international maritime law perspective, China’s claim to the South China Sea, including Indonesia’s EEZ in the Natuna, is a violation of international maritime law which could disrupt the stability of the region because the South China Sea region is an international shipping lane. In Indonesia’s perspective, China’s claim could threaten the stability of domestic security and the longstanding relationship between Indonesia and China. Responding to China’s claim in Indonesia’s EEZ, Indonesia uses preventive diplomacy to prevent the widespread of conflict as Indonesia will not be able to confront China militarily. In addition, the Indonesian Government continues to hold informal dialogue with China in addressing the overlapping EEZ claim. Until now, Indonesia has not formally engaged in dialogue with China related to the South China Sea because if Indonesia do it, it will make Indonesia indirectly recognize China’s claim to the South China Sea. Until this research is written, the dialogue is still ongoing.

Efan Setiadi — Fri, 01 Dec 2017 00:00:00 +0700

The relationship between law and economics must be mutually influential because economic development will affect the legal map and vice versa. The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) can be a means to build trust and mutually beneficial relationships with Indonesia’s strategic partner countries or economies in the region. The APEC can also be a means to increase Indonesia’s capacity and competitiveness and to increase investment. However, in this article, the author emphasizes that the government cannot simply develop its economy by handing it to the market.

Hipolitus Yolisandry Ringgi Wangge — Fri, 01 Dec 2017 00:00:00 +0700

This article argues that the People’s Republic of China’s domestic politics since the late 1990s have been dominated notably by sectoral issues, such as land reforms, environment protests, migration issues, and so forth. All of which have one thing in common, namely challenging the well-established system under the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) regime. The land protests are highlighted given three facts. First, even though certain non-political issues emerged simultaneously in the early 2000s, the land protest becomes the much-concerned issue across the country. Second, the land seizure as the driving force of land protests turns out as the way for provincial officers to amass wealth since the national government could not improve welfare of those lower-ranking state officers. Third, the farmers exert the land protest issue as the bargaining to challenge both national and local officers. Eventually, the varied ways to launch strikes undertaken by farmers remain a fascinating subject to be observed.

Reformasi Aliansi Pertahanan Amerika Serikat-Jepang-Korea Selatan Menghadapi Ancaman Nuklir Korea Utara

Sony Iriawan — Fri, 01 Dec 2017 00:00:00 +0700

The phenomenon of North Korea’s nuclear weapons test poses a threat to security stability. The dynamics of the issue become more complex when China is also concerned about the issue through strategic partnership with North Korea in various fields such as economy, military, and energy. The proxy war strategy through China’s involvement in North Korea’s nuclear development has at least succeeded in posing a threat to the stability of United States hegemony in the region. That reality has encouraged the reform of the United States defense cooperation paradigm through the mechanism of a trilateral defense alliance with Japan and South Korea. The reform of the defense cooperation paradigm demands a concerted effort that not only focuses on North Korea, but also on the various factors and external environment that related to North Korea nuclear weapons issues.
