Protection of the domestic labor market and prevention of skilled foreign workers entry through negative list are not in accordance with free market principle of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) to be implemented in ASEAN countries such as Indonesia in the second half of 2015. However, restrictions are still practiced by some Indonesian government institutions, such as Ministry of Health for doctors, dentists, and nurses, the Ministry of Public Works for surveyors, and the Ministry of Tourism for tourism profesionals. Through literature study and legal analysis, it was found that foreign workers restriction by professional associations according to certain competency standards aims to prevent domestic work from being monopolized by skilled foreign workers in the AEC 2015 era.Keywords: ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), Indonesian regulation, skilled foreign workers

This article reports the results of a study on how to fill the free market program of ASEAN Economic Community (AEC). Indonesia has significant demographic bonus when compared to other ASEAN countries, so that specifically Indonesia will become an easy target for economic activity (read: free market flow transactions) carried out by all members of ASEAN. Demographic bonus is an opportunity and challenge for the Indonesian people, both for those who live in cities or in the countryside. This condition will be more complicated, if the mapping potential of the population does not become a serious concern for the government and stakeholders so that the people of Indonesia will become the largest consumer for products of ASEAN countries. One of the potential populations of Indonesia is women, because they have specific skills that are able to be directed towards an income. The purpose of this study is to prepare the people of Indonesia who have the skills, especially women in entering the AEC both urban and rural communities. This study uses a qualitative method of observation, interviews and review of documents, such as books, newspapers and others.

For more th an five decades ASEAN has experienced many positive and significant developments towards a more integrative and forward - looking stage with the establishment of an ASEAN Community by 2015.  The ASEAN Community not only affects the economic sector, but also other sectors, including "education" as an effort to build competitive human resources. The ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) challenges in education that will be faced are the proliferation o f foreign educational institutions, standardization of orientation in education, which is pro - market, and markets labor that will be flooded by foreign workers.

Purpose of Study: ASEAN countries have entered into the free-market era, based on AEC Agreement in 2015. This ASEAN free market system will certainly stimulate business competition among the members. Therefore, ASEAN needs competition law and competition authority to foster healthy competition among businesses in the ASEAN area. This research focuses on; first, that ASEAN members need to develop and harmonize the Competition Law existing in each country; second, ASEAN members need to set up the Competition Authority to enforce the implementation of the free market system. Methodology: This paper uses normative legal research, and proposes two main arguments. The first, to support a healthy business competition in the ASEAN single market, it is necessary for all ASEAN member states to have Competition law, and the competition law in each ASEAN country can be made by referring to the guidelines formulated at the level of ASEAN. The second, the Competition Authority in ASEAN Economic Community is an independent institution established by each member states authoritative to conduct an investigation, prosecution, and adjudication, as well as to cooperate with the Competition Authority in other member countries. Results: ASEAN is a very potential market. The transactions between ASEAN countries or from other countries show an extraordinary improvement. With the opening of the ASEAN single market since 2015, the business competition will be tighter and of course, the market is expected to be in good health and not controlled by certain business groups. Implications/Applications: To support healthy business competition in the ASEAN single market, it is urgent that all countries have Competition law. The regulation is made in each country by referring to the guidelines that have been formulated at the level of ASEAN to create harmonization of law.

AbstractIn early 2016 the ASEAN countries have officially implement the commitments which named the Asean Economic Community (AEC). The spirit of the stretcher is the spirit of ASEAN economic integration. In the MEA of skilled labor in the region is given the freedom to work anywhere in the ASEAN region. However, each country still has licensing restrictions. Law No. 13 of 2003 be the main pillars that govern the licensing of foreign workers, especially in Chapter VIII started to subsection 42 through subsection 49. That should be of concern is subsection 45 paragraph (1a) requires manpower Indonesian citizen who becomes the companion of foreign. The presence of foreign workers in the MEA era is no longer in the context of knowledge transfer and technology transfer, but TKA comes with the spirit of ASEAN economic integration. Or in other words the freedom to work wherever the foreign workers want to work. Employers of foreign workers required to implement the education and training for workers who become facilitators TKA. But employers are reluctant. Because, there are loopholes in our licensing that would allow foreign workers to work continuously in Indonesia. By regulation, of course, the implementation of the MEA are now in violation of the contents of Law 13/2003 on Manpower. Another major problem associated MEA is the readiness of Indonesian Labor competence and the availability of jobs for Indonesian workers. Keywords: Foreign Workers, AEC, Economic Integration AbstrakDi awal Tahun 2016 Negara-negara ASEAN sudah resmi melaksanakan komitmen bersama yang bernama Masyarakat Ekonomi Asean (MEA). Semangat yang di usung adalah semangat integrasi ekonomi ASEAN. Di dalam MEA tenaga kerja terampil yang ada di kawasan ini di berikan kebebasan untuk berkerja di mana saja di kawasan ASEAN. Namun masing-masing negara tetap memiliki batasan perizinan. UU Nomor 13 Tahun 2003 menjadi pilar utama yang mengatur perizinan TKA terutama di Bab VIII mulai Pasal 42 sampai dengan Pasal 49. Yang harus menjadi perhatian adalah Pasal 45 ayat (1a) yang mewajibkan adanya tenaga kerja warga negara Indonesia yang menjadi pendamping. Kehadiran TKA di era MEA ini tidak lagi dalam konteks alih pengetahuan (transfer of knowledge) dan alih tehnologi (transfer of technology), tetapi TKA hadir dengan dengan semangat integrasi ekonomi ASEAN. Atau dengan kata lain kebebasan bekerja dimanapun TKA tersebut ingin bekerja. Pengusaha pengguna TKA wajib melaksanakan pendidikan dan pelatihan bagi TKI yang menjadi tenaga pendamping TKA. Namun pengusaha seringkali enggan. Pasalnya, ada celah dalam perizinan kita yang menungkinkan TKA bisa bekerja terus di Indonesia. Secara regulasi, tentunya pelaksanaan MEA saat ini sudah melanggar isi UU 13/2003 tentang Ketenagakerjaan. Masalah utama lain terkait MEA adalah kesiapan kompetensi Tenaga Kerja Indonesia dan ketersediaan lapangan kerja buat pekerja Indonesia. Kata Kunci: TKA, MEA, integrasi ekonomi

AbstractThe National Education System has grown so rapidly over time. A variety of efforts have been made to build every prosperous, dignified Indonesian human being, so that the quality of Indonesian thinking is progressing. The ASEAN Economic Community which has been launched since 2015 has resulted in free competition, both in trade, employment, and there is free competition for educators in ASEAN countries. Besides that, Indonesian education is faced with challenges and developments in the times, where the culture between ASEAN countries has no limits, this is the challenge faced when implementing the Asean Economic Comunity (ASEAN Economic Community) MEA. Indonesia as a country in the ASEAN region must prepare domestic educators to have professionalism and character so that they can compete with the AEC. Educators must be aware of the essence of the existence of their profession, continue to struggle to make changes in order to realize professionalism with noble character. Efforts made in preparing professional educators to face the challenges of the AEC must touch the most fundamental aspects of changing their competencies, namely the mindset. A student must be more advanced and innovative in developing his learning so that he can change the mindset of students to do agent of change. Through this mindset educators will become professional and characterized so that they can compete and compete in the MEA era. Keywords: MEA, Changes in Mindset, Professional Educators

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.

The Employment Law Cluster in the field of foreign workers, as summarized in the Employment Creation Law, as a result of the Omnibus Law method, is very important to implement because the existing regulations have become chronically obese, obese rules but many hinder investment, so that development and progress of the Indonesian state is hampered, even though Indonesia has declared that it is part of the ASEAN Economic Community (MEA) and is on the line of the 4.0 Industrial Revolution.

Abstract In the ASEAN Economic Community blueprint 2015 the term “single market” was used as a goal of economic community. Theoretically, single market is a level of economic integration after customs union. Under that blueprint, customs union could have a chance to be established as a necessary prerequisite for single market. However, the new blueprint 2025 does not adopt single market concept anymore. Different terms have been introduced namely “integrated and cohesive economy” and “unified market”. This article aims at assessing economic integration concept adopted in the ASEAN Economic Community blueprint by utilizing content analysis. It will review the change of concept by employing economic integration theory in order to indicate the direction of economic community goal. The finding is that the change of terms reflects the change of concept. As a result, ASEAN Economic Community will have a different direction in pursuing economic integration. Therefore, under the new blueprint ASEAN will not proceed to customs union and single market. However, it will remain at free trade area level of economic integration. In addition, ASEAN will not be a close trade block but tend to be an open regionalism in relation to non-ASEAN countries or regions. Keywords: ASEAN Economic Community, Customs Union, Single Market, Economic Integration, Open Regionalism.
