Social Consideration

This writing addresses the practice of mukhabarah and muzara’ah in cultivating farms in Arang Limbung village, Sungai Raya district, Kubu Raya regency. Socioeconomic cooperation between farmhands and land lords constitute a mutual symbiosis; by cooperating they can handle the problems of cultivating farms. Landlords do not have sufficient time and skill to cultivate their farms while farmhands do not have land to plough. Consequently, they must collaborate through the concept of mukhabarah and muzaraah in which the profit sharing is according to the common agreement. This socioeconomic cooperation is based on trust and fair profit sharing that include: first, the basis of this cooperation is to help each other instead of doing business; and second, the profit sharing is according to farms production. Thus, this collaboration is not only based on profit objectives but social consideration as well. Keywords: Mukhābarah, muzāra‘ah, socio economic cooperation.

The Common

Despite its long history, aid for poor countries has never had a secure ethical rationale. “Poverty reduction” is inadequate: I show that people who are equally poor, but in countries with different circumstances, should not be equally eligible. I ground the rationale for aid in two psychologically instinctive duties of rescue: for humanitarian aid the rescue is from catastrophe, for development assistance it is from mass despair. I argue that the common practice of making aid conditional upon policy—whether economic, as developed by the International Financial Institutions, or social and environmental as required by NGOs—is both unethical and counterproductive. Instead, I develop the advantages and limitations of aid for mutual benefit.

Middle Power

Korea has been regarded by as a middle power nation. Korea’s accession to Group of Twenty (G20) status and membership of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development-Development Assistance Committee (OECD-DAC) were heralded as confirmation of Korea’s status as a middle power. Korea’s current regional initiative, the Northeast Asia Peace and Cooperation Initiative (NAPCI), represents a shift from middle power to ‘pivot’ state. The initiatives have potential theoretical implications for explaining Korea’s emerging role in the region.

Recent Developments

Japanese official development assistance (ODA) totaled $9.13 billion in 1988, which put Japan neck and neck with the United States for the title of largest aid-donor country. In the few decades since joining the Development Assistance Committee in 1961, Japan has steadily increased its aid effort until the country is now one of the major sources of economic cooperation. This article first outlines the characteristics of Japanese ODA—such as its emphasis on loans to Asia—and then discusses the various factors that have shaped these characteristics. In recognition of the fact that yen credits are central to Japanese assistance, the significance and impact of those yen credits are then examined. Finally, some recent developments in Japanese assistance and some issues that remain to be resolved are reviewed.

European Unification

With the eu struggling to maintain itself, it is highly relevant to look into the drive for and original vision on European unification of its principal architect, Robert Schuman, then French Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Schuman Declaration (1950) gave birth to the eu and procured the longest period of peace among its member states since the Treaty of Verdun (843). This article shows how Schuman’s Catholic faith influenced his life and therefore his politics. His drive to be a faithful instrument of Providence, supported by his origins from Alsace-Lorraine, made him strive towards peace on the European continent. He envisaged a European political integration through economic cooperation at the service of man and his transcendence and rooted in the common European spiritual and cultural heritage. This implied reconciliation, effective solidarity, subsidiarity and supra-nationality for European common interests through an integration in small steps.
