To prevent this issue, we need to collaborate with another institutions. Law enforcer, government, Social services and also Non-Governmental Organization need to collaborate to resolve this issue for Indonesia and for International society. Government has a responsibility and also active in various development condition such as prosperity development, economic development because it is the main responsibility for country to protect the law of the country including Human rights. This main responsibility cannot be reduced by political reasons, economic and also cultural reasons. This research aims an overview of the solutions regarding the form of the prevention and the protection of the law against human trafficking and also to find a concrete measure in the form of regulations to covers the victims of the human trafficking for a prosperity and economic development. However, based on the empirical data, there are many problems and obstacles in the implementation of the provision of legal protections in the term of restitution and rehabilitation. The suggestion is, to prevent and to protect human trafficking victims, we need to make sure the local regulations in each province is suitable with the act of PTPPO and also, we need to strengthen the coordination. Moreover, to strengthen the prosperity of the human trafficking victims and to immune the economic development in society, we need to make sure the coordination between the central government and the local government in each province is strong in the term of budgeting.

Pelaku bekerja dengan organisasi yang baik dan memiliki jaringan antar negara. Ia menjadi ancaman bagi masyarakat, bangsa dan negara itu sendiri. Untuk mencegah masalah ini, perlu dilakukan kolaborasi dengan institusi lain. Penegak hukum, pemerintah, layanan sosial dan juga LSM (organisasi non-pemerintah) perlu berkolaborasi untuk menyelesaikan masalah ini bagi Indonesia dan masyarakat internasional. Pemerintah pun memiliki tanggung jawab dan juga aktif dalam berbagai kondisi pembangunan seperti pembangunan kemakmuran, pembangunan ekonomi karena merupakan tanggung jawab utama bagi negara untuk melindungi hukum negara termasuk hak asasi manusia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan gambaran tentang solusi mengenai bentuk pencegahan dan perlindungan hukum terhadap perdagangan manusia dan juga untuk menemukan langkah-langkah konkret dalam bentuk peraturan yang mencakup korban perdagangan manusia untuk kemakmuran dan pembangunan ekonomi. Namun, berdasarkan data empiris, ada banyak masalah dan hambatan dalam pelaksanaan ketentuan perlindungan hukum dalam istilah restitusi dan rehabilitasi. Karenanya untuk mencegah dan melindungi korban perdagangan manusia, perlu dipastikan bahwa peraturan lokal di setiap provinsi sesuai dengan tindakan PTPPO dan juga perlu memperkuat koordinasi. Selain itu, untuk memperkuat kemakmuran korban perdagangan manusia dan untuk melindungi perkembangan ekonomi masyarakat, perlu juga dipastikan koordinasi antara pemerintah pusat dan pemerintah daerah di setiap provinsi khususnya dalam hal penganggaran. APBN pun juga harus mencakup kemakmuran dan pembangunan ekonomi lokal di desa, karena desa paling berpotensi menjadi korban perdagangan manusia.Kata Kunci: Human Trafficking, Perlindungan Korban, Kesejahteraan dan EkonomiDOI: 10.15408/jch.v6i1.8265

This paper is a practical-theoretical study towards economic development policy. Unrealistic policy and planning approach, government management close and uncooperative system which considered intervening political interest rather than economic development are as one cause of stagnating economic development in several areas. Economic development that has been established by central government has not able to give velocity acceleration solution in economic development; it is the authority and power divergence that affecting local economic development. Economic policy through mining investment as one strategy development has been approved by district government and investors had affected long polemic. It needs further thought and study related to the policy so it could get the expected result and local economic development.

For the past three decades Ghana’s democratic decentralisation policy has sought in vein to establish a local government system capable of pursuing Local Economic Development (LED). One of the major impediments has been the insincere implementation of fiscal decentralisation for the local government to provide the enabling environment for LED. This paper employed primary and secondary data from the Wassa East District Assembly (WEDA) to assess the progress so far in Ghana’s fiscal decentralisation and its effect on LED. The paper highlights the potential benefits of LED and the incapacitation of the District Assembly by the Central government for LED financing. The paper again reveals the effects of the constraints of fiscal decentralisation on LED at the local government level and makes policy recommendations towards effective fiscal decentralisation for improvement in LED.

The practice in developed countries has shown a necessity for local government's stronger inclusion in local economic development issues. The economic system in Serbia has features of high unemployment rate and low living standard among the population, and therefore local government taking a larger part in local economic development issues is seen as a real possibility for reducing these problems. Although most of the economic policy instruments lie within the central government jurisdiction, which largely restricts local government possibilities, there is still an important area for local government influence on economic development. There are numerous obstacles for a successful application of the local economic development concept in Serbia, which causes the municipality and regional potentials to be used much less than the possibilities allow, and it has a negative reflection, especially in rural and undeveloped areas.

The One

For over a century in Egypt, the Suez Canal Company reflected the role of the concession in European economic expansion overseas. Concession was a European business practice widespread in Egypt; it was an institution inherited from a system of privileges for Europeans since the Middle Ages. It promised a way for Egypt to adopt modern infrastructures and receive needed European help for digging the canal. The results of the Suez Company are indisputable: the desert of the Suez Isthmus became a lively economic region with active ports, growing cities, and an expanding labor force. And the region was linked to the rest of the country by a new road network. At the same time, however, the concession system denied Egypt full benefit of this infrastructure. The canal served the financial and strategic interests of the company, not the interests of the local economy. This outcome embodied all the contradictions of the concession system: on the one hand, concessions were a necessity for modern infrastructure development in Egypt; on the other, they were a hindrance to further national economic development.

Local authority involvement in economic matters has become widespread since the early 1970s. Recent developments in the pattern of local economic activity have been the increasing use of section 137 of the Local Government Act 1972 to fund local programmes, the spread of local authority involvement from the Assisted Areas to the more prosperous regions, and the increasing interest shown by the smaller shire districts, often in rural areas. The portfolio of possible interventions has also changed, bringing a new diversity to the practice of local economic development. Whereas central government has in the past eschewed the temptation to exercise close controls over these activities, the new diversity of local economic initiatives presents it with new dilemmas. It can no longer be assumed that such initiatives will be supportive of central government's spatial or sectoral policies. This vacuum in central-local relations is unlikely to remain, and renewed pressures to grant specific economic development powers to local authorities can be expected. If these claims are accepted, central government will be drawn inexorably into local economic affairs by the need to develop the capacity of local authorities to intervene effectively in pursuit of economic and employment goals.

Of considerable interest within policy and academic circles, is the emergence of India's status as a new economic powerhouse in Asia. This development can be linked to its recent advocacy of ‘effective’ local economic development policies, particularly in attempting to create ‘new economic spaces’ as a model for economic development. In this regard, in 2005, the Indian central government passed the Special Economic Zone Act: to attract foreign and domestic investment, to boost export earnings, to generate local employment and to make improvements to infrastructural services. As a result, new challenges have emerged. At one end, there is a reduced role for central government intervention in economic development as a result of shifts from an earlier central government-directed policy mechanism to this contemporary approach in SEZ policy where state governments as well as private investors are increasingly seen as important partners in economic develop-ment. On the other hand, not only have the number of sanctioned SEZs exceeded the expectations of policy makers, but also that there is now an uneven distribution of SEZ investments across the country that only a stronger central government intervention can possibly address.

Abstract Local Economic Development (LED) planning is a place-based approach to development planning and increasingly significant across much of the global South. One of the key challenges facing LED planning is the necessity to adjust planning in relation to the dynamic nature of both international and national framework conditions. The purpose of this article is to show this challenge by examining the dynamic nature of the national policy environment impacting upon LED planning in South Africa, a country which has a relatively long history of LED planning. Five dimensions of the changing landscape of national economic development planning in South Africa are identified. These relate to (a) LED within the context of new national economic and development plans; (b) initiatives for reindustrialising the South African economy, the associated importance of localisation and promotion of the green economy; (c) changing programmes around small business development; (d) shifts in rural development interventions; and (e) the fluid spatial context within which LED planning as a form of placebased economic development is embedded.

Pattern Characteristic

Local economic development policy networks in four cities in Britain and France (Leeds, Southampton, Lille, and Rennes) are compared by means of the technique of sociometric network analysis. The author's objective was to find out if, in an age of internationalisation and urban competition, networks still conform to the structure suggested by the classic Franco-British comparative studies, or whether they resemble the more open and interorganisational pattern characteristic of the new urban governance. After setting out the methods and the sociometric approach, the author identifies actors who have the ten highest centrality scores in the four cities, The author concludes that, in spite of continuing contrasts in the national institutional structures and differences in the politics and cultures of the four cities, there is a surprising similarity in the key actors involved in urban economic development; these actors include individuals from the locally elected authorities, central government bodies, and businesses. The new urban governance is based on the range of agencies responsible for economic development and upon the growing importance of business in policy formulation and implementation.

Abstract The role of tourism for local economic development (LED) is a topic of critical importance for geographers. In the case of South Africa tourism is a priority sector for national economic development. The significance of research issues around tourism and LED is underlined by the ‘developmental’ mandate of local governments. Although tourism has received attention in a growing body of LED writings on South Africa issues around agritourism so far have been overlooked. Agritourism represents an evolving form of rural tourism which is targeted at mainly urban consumers. Against the background of a review of international scholarship on agritourism this article explores its potential implications for LED planning in South Africa. A national audit of agritourism is presented which shows its uneven geographical distribution. Agritourism is of special significance for small town economic development in South Africa’s intermediate tourism spaces. Policy suggestions are offered for strengthening agritourism as a driver for LED in South Africa.
