Abstract

Coffee is Indonesia's leading export commodity that is able to create added value for the country's foreign exchange. The Covid-19 pandemic that entered Indonesia has caused a decrease in coffee exports to the United States. One of the government's agendas to create economic recovery is carried out by optimizing the Indonesian Trade Promotion Center (ITPC) to emphasize the task of diplomacy. This study analyzes the role of ITPC in encouraging coffee exports to the United States as an effort to accelerate economic recovery. The research method used is qualitative explorative by relying on secondary data. The concept used is commercial diplomacy according to Michel Kostechky and Ollivier Naray which emphasizes the value chain which includes the main activities that include (trade promotion, FDI promotion, science and technology cooperation, tourist promotion and advocacy of the national business community) and support activities that include (intelligence, networking and public relations, negotiation contacts and problem solving). ITPC's efforts in encouraging coffee exports to the United States are based on the main activities, namely through trade promotion strategies and providing business advocacy services. Indicators of FDI promotion, science and technology cooperation and tourist promotion are not run by ITPC Los Angeles and ITPC Chicago because they do not fall within the authority and duties of ITPC. While efforts in support activities consist of intelligence, networking and public relations. Contact indicators of negotiation and problem resolution are not the authority of ITPC so they are not carried out. The results of ITPC's performance in encouraging coffee exports can be seen through an increase in the value of coffee exports to the United States in 2021-2022.

Abstract

This study analyzes the effectiveness of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) as an intergovernmental organization that focuses on migration issues in combating human trafficking of Indonesian migrant workers in Malaysia during the Covid-19 pandemic. IOM basically does not have the authority to eradicate the problem of human trafficking, but because this problem stems from irregular migration, IOM is trying to help the Indonesian government together with various partners to overcome this problem. In its role, IOM established the Counter Trafficking Unit (CTU) which focuses on addressing human trafficking. CTU activities are based on the "3P+Partnership" strategic approach. The research objective in this study is to analyze the effectiveness of international organizations, namely, IOM in overcoming human trafficking of Indonesian migrant workers working in Malaysia after Covid-19. The analytical knife used in this research is the theory of the effectiveness of international organizations and the concept of human security. The method used in this research is a qualitative method with analytical descriptive writing techniques. The result of this research is that IOM is not effective in overcoming human trafficking against Indonesian migrant workers in Malaysia. This can be proven through the dimensions of output, outcome, and impact. IOM can fulfill the output and outcome dimensions, but in the impact dimension, IOM has not been able to provide changes in Indonesian policy and IOM's handling efforts are not focused on migrant workers in Malaysia, but victims of human trafficking in general. In addition, data on human trafficking victims of migrant workers in Malaysia is inefficient and does not show the accuracy of the numbers.

Abstract

This study discusses Indonesia's strategy in helping MSMEs face the dominance of imported Chinese products in the Indonesian domestic market. Since the enactment of the ACFTA agreement, MSMEs, which are an important pillar of the Indonesian economy, have felt a significant negative impact. This is due to globalization that has changed the order in various aspects of life, especially the world economy, where countries are required to carry out free trade which includes the application of a 0 tariff policy in import exports. Due to Indonesia's lack of readiness in facing the free trade era, this caused MSMEs and domestic industries to go out of business because they were unable to compete with various imported goods originating from China. The purpose of this study is to analyze how the Indonesian government supports MSMEs in facing the dominance of imported Chinese products in Indonesia after the ACFTA cooperation. In this study, researchers discussed the increase in MSMEs in terms of product quality and quantity and the increase in human resources, which has never existed in previous research in accordance with the title that the researchers took, namely "Analysis of Indonesia's Strategy to Support the Improvement of MSME Product Quality in the Face of the Dominance of Chinese Imported Products within the scope of the ASEAN China Free Trade Area (ACFTA) with Theory Competitive Advantage". This research uses the theory of Competitive Advantage as an analytical knife in this study because the theory is in line with the focus of the research that the researchers took, namely the Indonesian government's strategy in increasing MSMEs through the quality and quantity of products and increasing human resources. This research uses qualitative methods with a descriptive approach. This research in collecting data is carried out through document analysis and meaning. The results of this study show thatsince the enactment of the ACFTA agreement, MSMEs, which are an important pillar of the Indonesian economy, have felt a significant negative impact. This is due to the implementation of the 0 tariff policy in import exports. Therefore, the government launched programs in suppressing the dominance of imported Chinese products in Indonesia such as the holding of BLK to improve the quality of human resources, the AOSD program to expand the market reach of MSMEs, Rumah BUMN as a liaison between MSMEs and partner companies, The EHP program is a program to eliminate import duty tariffs, cooperation in infrastructure development that supports the absorption of human resources, investment investment and cooperation between government institutions such as Indonesian SOEs and China Railway International Co.Ltd in the construction of high-speed trains, and the establishment of rules of origin to prevent trade deflection.
