AbstractData localization is a phenomenon that is of increasing global significance, as a growing number of countries impose data localization requirements on data controllers. This paper discusses data localization in the ASEAN context. It proposes a schema of data localization laws which comprises two categories of data localization requirements. This schema is used to examine data localization laws within ASEAN, and it will be shown that there is presently a moderate level of data localization among ASEAN Member States. The paper then discusses how data localization is dealt with in the EU and in ASEAN, addressing some recent developments in the two regimes. It concludes with recommendations for ASEAN's approach to data localization, drawing from the EU regime.

AbstractOn 31 December 2015, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) announced the establishment of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC). In theory, this agreement has produced association-wide economic integration. However, following the announcement and for the foreseeable future, ASEAN member states will continue to have significantly less than full regional economic integration. Why? Some observers believe that the AEC plans involve an overly ambitious timeline and too many ill-thought-out initiatives. Others point to ASEAN's traditional aversion to legally binding agreements. While progress has been made in reducing or eliminating intra-ASEAN trade tariffs, substantial non-tariff barriers to trade persist. However, for most member states, the ASEAN market is relatively small, while external markets, especially China, are growing rapidly. Given this outward orientation for ASEAN trade, is the lack of an unhindered regional market really a problem?

The aim of the paper is to determine the current state of the integration processes in the global economy and prognosticate on the foreseeable changes in this phenomenon in the upcoming. Will they be divergence from or continuity with the past trends in the global economy in this field? The article examines three regional integration groupings, i.e. the European Union, ASEAN Economic Community, and NAFTA. The analysis makes it possible to conclude that all of these groupings/organizations are encountering some problems. In the case of the EU, these are mainly: the two – speed integration process as far as a monetary union is concerned; serious negative consequences of the global financial crisis for the socio-economic cohesion of the EU-28; as well as a worsening position in the world trade in goods and services and in the total global gross capital inflows. The problems of the ASEAN Economic Community seem to be connected with some discrepancies between the political will in favour of deepening integration among member states and the real economic difficulties involved in attaining higher stages of integration among a group of countries extremely differentiated in their economic development. NAFTA’s problems also lie in the asymmetrical development between member states, as well as in the lessening importance of the integration within the organization for the member states, which results from the putting into effect numerous other FTAs. The growing openness of all the analyzed integration groupings, being in line with the globalization process, seems to be a future characteristic of integration processes in the global economy.

Business competition in Indonesia has entered a new chapter, immediately upon the ASEAN Economic Community establishment in 2015. Since then, the domestic market has been penetrated by foreign competitors, particularly from ASEAN member states, China, and South Korea. It is inevitable that the regional competition impinges local business lines. Therefore, these enterprises must initiate “glocally” marketing strategy - a global approach with a local taste that attracts local prospects.

<p>Pembentukan Masyarakat Ekonomi ASEAN pada tahun 2015 telah mendorong Negara Anggota ASEAN untuk mereformasi undang-undang mereka. Ini adalah momentum yang baik bagi Indonesia untuk mereformasi hukum kontrak dan pada saat yang sama untuk mencapai komitmen ASEAN untuk harmonisasi hukum ASEAN. Dalam tulisan ini akan dibahas, pendekatan hukum dapat diambil oleh Indonesia dalam upaya untuk mereformasi hukum kontrak sehingga konsisten dengan tujuan harmonisasi ASEAN hukum; dan seberapa luas atau apa lingkup substansi untuk dimasukkan dalam undang- undang untuk bisa menjadi undang-undang baru yang kompa Ɵ bel dengan hukum kontrak Negara ASEAN lainnya. Tulisan ini menggunakan metode peneli Ɵ an hukum norma Ɵ f dengan analisa kualita Ɵ f. Kesimpulan yang diperoleh dari peneli Ɵ an ini adalah bahwa pendekatan yang diambil untuk mereformasi hukum kontrak Indonesia saat ini adalah dengan menggunakan instrumen hukum internasional seper Ɵ Konvensi PBB tentang Kontrak untuk Penjualan Barang Internasional (CISG) 1980 dan Prinsip UNIDROIT Kontrak Komersial Internasional (UPICCs) sebagai referensi untuk hukum kontrak Indonesia yang baru. Sedangkan lingkup substansi yang akan direformasi terbatas pada prinsip-prinsip umum dan aturan hukum kontrak internasional dan ketentuan untuk penjualan barang. Untuk mempercepat reformasi, penulis menunjukkan bahwa hukum kontrak diprioritaskan dengan memasukkannya ke dalam Program Hukum Nasional (Prolegnas) dari periode 2015-2019.</p><p>The establishment of ASEAN Economic Community by 2015 has encouraged ASEAN Member States to reform their laws for harmoniza Ɵ on, including contract law. This is a good momentum for Indonesia to reform its contract law and at the same Ɵ me to achieve ASEAN commitment for ASEAN legal harmoniza Ɵ on. Having said that, the ques Ɵ ons are (1) what legal approach can be taken by Indonesia in its e ff ort to reform its contract law so that it is consistent with the objec Ɵ ve of ASEAN legal harmoniza Ɵ on, (2) how broad or what the scope of substance to be included in the new law can be so that the new law will be compa Ɵ ble with the contract laws of other ASEAN Countries. To answer those ques Ɵ ons, minor research has been conducted. A method of norma Ɵ ve legal research is used to collect data which is mainly from books, academic dra Ō s, na Ɵ onal legisla Ɵ on and interna Ɵ onal trea Ɵ es (secondary data). Those data is, then, analyzed using qualita Ɵ ve method. In conclusion, (1) the approach taken to reform the current Indonesian contract law is by using interna Ɵ onal legal instruments such as United Na Ɵ ons Conven Ɵ on on Contracts for the Interna Ɵ onal Sale of Goods (CISG) 1980 and UNIDROIT Principles of Interna Ɵ onal Commercial Contracts (UPICCs) as references for the new Indonesian contract law, (2) the scope of the substance to be reformed is restricted to the general principles and rules of interna Ɵ onal contract law and provisions for sale of goods. To speed up the reform, the writer suggests that contract law be priori Ɵ zed by pu ƫ ng it into the Na Ɵ onal Legal Program (Prolegnas) of 2015-2019 period.</p>

The findings in this article defy the common assumption that the free market, including the formation of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in Southeast Asia, is correlated with the creation of a spillover and complex interdependency, reducing conflicts between countries in the region. This finding could well contribute as a theory in the academic sphere and as policies in the practical world. The author uses a theoretical framework of structural realism to explain the potential conflict between countries of the Southeast Asian region. There are four potential conflict situations among countries in the implementation of AEC: firstly, the structure of economic disparity. This situation would construct an identity of in-group – out-group or “us” versus “them” in the context of who gains and loses in the AEC. Secondly, similarity of natural resources. This fact led the Southeast Asian countries to compete and create standardization wherein each party is in hostile competition to claim valid findings and arguments associated with efforts to reduce or stop the flow of imports into their respective countries. Thirdly, competition among businesses, in which AEC constructed free market could potentially provoke the emergence of regional trading cartel. Fourthly, the structure of military power. Historical records show that any economic growth occurring in a country will be accompanied by the growth of its military budget.

Modern Polish competition law has become highly regulated and codified over the twenty five years of its existence and this article will provide readers with information relating to its recent developments of 2015. Separate subsections present a review of provisions on remedies in infringement decisions as well as settlements. A considerable part of this paper is designed to outline the peculiarities that characterize Poland’s new provisions on fines. Further on, the paper introduces readers to newest trends in the area of concentration control between undertakings. In addition, an assessment of recent developments and suggestions for a further development of Polish competition law are reviewed in the EU context. The conscious intention of the author is to analyse whether the EU competition law pattern, often regarded as a model for Member States, has been used to develop Polish competition law. Has the latter been amended to look more, or less like EU competition law? Has Polish competition law shown the capacity to absorb the best elements of EU competition law into itself? How is the outcome aligned with the declared direction of these amendments?

Abstract This paper focusing on looking at Indonesia's readiness to deal with the Era of the Economic Community in ASEAN with the urgency that Indonesia's preparations should have a systemic impact on Indonesia's economic growth. The socialization that has been carried out continues and continues to be inflated by every child of the nation so as not to lose compete and be swallowed by the existence of regional countries that really use ASEAN Economic Community as a positive and constructive economic opportunity for each ASEAN member country officially. ASEAN Economic Community is one form of Free Trade Area (FTA) and located in Southeast Asia .ASEAN Economic Community which is formed with a mission to make the economy in ASEAN to be better and able to compete with countries whose economy is more advanced than the condition of ASEAN countries currently. The realization of ASEAN Economic Community, can make ASEAN a more strategic position in the international arena. Researchers expect that with the realization of the ASEAN economic community can open the eyes of all parties, resulting in an inter-sectoral dialogue that will also complement each other among the stakeholders of the economic sector in ASEAN countries and this is very inherent formally.
