This paper aims at firstly reviewing initiatives on workforce transformation in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 funded by the Government of Singapore, and then making recommendations to policy makers regarding the workforce preparation in Vietnam. In the era of continuous change, workforce is a key factor in a thriving economy, thus Singapore’s strategy is to engender a future-ready generation for a better Singapore by strengthening the talent pools through lifelong learning and enabling all Singaporeans to excel and discover opportunities to fulfill their potentials. How has Singapore been doing to prepare a tomorrow’s workforce? How does Vietnam learn from Singapore’s experience in preparing for a future-ready workforce? This analysis will answer those two questions. The findings indicate that (i) the Government of Singapore has adopted an inclusive approach and has succeeded in developing a sustainable skills ecosystem and lifelong learning programs, and (ii) It is necessary for Vietnam to think about our own strategy that will focus on changing public awareness of lifelong learning and skills upgrading, identifying necessary skills for the future workforce, and creating effective action programs to encourage individuals to learn for life, pursue skills mastery and develop fulfilling careers.

Soybean is the main crop of the palawija system which is commonly applied in Indonesia. In the national economic system, soybean is a commodity owning strategic values due to its ability to supply nutrients needed by the community and a source of income for farmers. Demand for soybean is likely to continue to increase in line with population growth, increase in per capita income, increase in public awareness of nutritional adequacy, and the development of livestock preparation and silage industries. Given the high trend of soybean demand in the future, efforts to increase domestic soybean production are becoming increasingly important. Meanwhile in the future, the policy to protect domestic soybean farmers will be limited due to the demands of free trade. Considering that soybean is consumed in the form of processed food, the increasing demand for soybeans in the future indicates that there will be more opportunities for the development of home industries to produce this food. The need for soybeans as raw material for agro-industry cannot currently be met by domestic soybean production, both in terms of quality and quantity. This causes the need for imported soybeans to be even greater. Domestic soybean production, both in quality and quantity, seems to be unable to meet the soybean needed for industrial raw materials, thus causing a higher tendency for imported soybean demand. Therefore, import tariff policies in the face of world trade liberalization must be regulated in such a way by taking into account the interests of producers, consumers, and the government. This policy is still needed in realizing the independence of export quality soybeans. Kedelai adalah tanaman utama Sistem Palawija yang umum diterapkan di Indonesia. Dalam sistem perekonomian nasional, kedelai menjadi komoditas yang memiliki nilai strategis karena memiliki kemampuan untuk memasok hara yang dibutuhkan oleh masyarakat dan merupakan sumber pendapatan bagi petani. Permintaan kedelai akan terus meningkat seiring dengan adanya peningkatan jumlah penduduk, pertambahan pendapatan perkapita tiap penduduk, meningkatnya kesadaran masyarakat akan gizi yang cukup, serta berkembangnya industri persiapan dan silase ternak. Melihat masih tingginya trend permintaan kedelai di masa datang, upaya peningkatan produksi kedelai di dalam negeri menjadi semakin penting. Sementara itu di masa depan kebijaksanaan untuk melindungi petani kedelai di dalam negeri semakin terbatas peluangnya karena tuntutan perdagangan bebas. Mengingat sebagaian besar kedelai dikonsumsi dalam bentuk bahan pangan olahan, meningkatnya permintaan kedelai di masa depan menunjukkan semakin terbukanya peluang pengembangan industri rumah tangga untuk memproduksi bahan pangan tersebut. Kebutuhan akan kedelai sebagai bahan baku agroindustri saat ini tidak dapat dipenuhi oleh produksi kedelai dalam negeri baik dari segi kualitas maupun kuantitas. Hal ini menyebabkan kebutuhan akan kedelai impor akan semakin besar. Kedelai yang dibutuhkan untuk bahan baku industri tampaknya tidak dapat dipenuhi oleh produksi kedelai dalam negeri, baik kualitas maupun kuantitasnya, sehingga menyebabkan kecenderungan permintaan kedelai impor semakin tinggi. Oleh karena itu, kebijakan tarif impor dalam menghadapi liberalisasi perdagangan dunia harus diatur sedemikian rupa dengan memperhatikan kepentingan produsen, konsumen, dan pemerintah. Kebijakan ini tetap diperlukan dalam mewujudkan kemandirian kedelai kualitas ekspor.

Abstract Promoting investments in permanent crops is often considered by the government as a powerful measure to support long-term growth in agriculture. The same attitude is prevalent among agricultural policy makers in Georgia and hence, country’s government and the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Agriculture of Georgia initiate and coordinate projects facilitating new investments in permanent crops. The article deals with an evaluation of an impact of “Plant the Future” project in Georgia that provides funds for the potential beneficiaries for planting permanent crops. The structure and scope of the project are discussed in the article, and the relevant data regarding the area planted, financial impact, and beneficiaries for the period from 2015 to 2019 are analysed and the impact projection is made for the period of 2020–2043. Research showed that the target indicators of the project were fully achieved. In addition, there were a high demand from farmers to participate in this project and as a result, the budget spent in 2017–2019 exceeded the planned budget. The project appears to be beneficial in terms of net present values that are positive for all discussed discount rates, meaning that the benefits of the project are greater than costs. The return on investment of the project is around 10%, which is greater than the basic discount rate (8%). Social impact also seems to be high with 1,350 beneficiaries. According to the projection, from 2015 to 2024, around 3,000 beneficiaries will benefit from this project. In the methodology, five evaluation criteria are used, namely, relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact, and sustainability. Based on the evaluation, specific recommendations are given.

AbstractIn the increasing territorial competition to attract productive investments in the age of globalization, mountain areas have a role to play, if they wish to find new (exogenous) resources to diversify their economy and to develop sustainably in the future. This means that they have either to be, or to become attractive. Attractiveness for investments is an issue rarely studied with respect to mountain areas. This paper casts light on the attractiveness of the Italian Alpine provinces, using quantitative and qualitative data coming from a research on the stated locational preferences of entrepreneurs in Italy. According to the findings, it is not said that mountain areas are unattractive, due to their characteristics in terms of physical geography and accessibility. Instead, a different perspective on geography itself (Alpine areas bordering with foreign countries), and the role of the government, can make even marginal areas like mountain areas rather attractive for investments. Therefore, policy-makers should identify and strengthen all possible locational advantages that can strengthen the attractiveness of these areas.

One of the biggest problems faced by the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia is the handling of the problem of corruption which seems to never end, both in terms of eradicating or implementing laws regarding corruption. In Indonesia, an independent institution specifically dealing with corruption issues has been established, namely the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) since 2002. However, the fact is that until 2020 it has not really been able to effectively address the problem of corruption in Indonesia with various arrests made by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). proves that the problem of corruption that occurs inthis country and the government in Indonesia needs serious attention from various parties who play an important role in dealing with the problem. This writing aims to determine the extent to which legal certainty applies in the process of eradicating corruption in Indonesia, the researchmethod used is the normative research method. Based on the results of the research conducted, it can be concluded that the laws governing and law enforcement officials inovercoming the problem of corruption in Indonesia have not been fully effective in providing legal certainty to corrupt actors and the application of existing laws has not been able to fully guarantee the disappearance or no more corruption. will happen in the future, and there is a need for prevention that can give birth to new corruptors in the future by further increasing anti-corruption learning programs and carrying out various socialization or prevention of acts of corruption from an early age which is felt to help overcome the problem of corruptors in this country.

Purpose During the past decade, Russian federal authorities have tried to build an effective national innovation system, strongly emphasizing a well-functioning science sector. The purpose of this paper is to look at future developments of Russian science from the perspective of recent policies and their perceptions by Russian scientists. Special emphasis is placed on the so-called “efficient contracts” policy for researchers which should make the remuneration system of public R&D organisations more competitive. Design/methodology/approach The paper examines the results of an extensive survey of almost 1,500 Russian scientists and managers at universities and public research organisations conducted by the authors in 2013 and recent statistical data and policy documents. Findings The paper concludes that some of the ambitious science and technology goals set by the government will be hard to achieve in the next decade. The scientific landscape is likely to experience certain structural changes but will probably face many of the existing problems. Improvements in overall R&D performance will largely depend on how well the “efficient contracts” policy is implemented. Originality/value The future development of Russian science is discussed based on major recent policy documents and the opinions of Russian scientists. The findings might be important for policy makers not only in Russia but other countries as well.

Ghana’s post-independence governments have made a number of requests for the return of looted and illegally acquired Ghanaian cultural objects in the collections of European museums. While the majority of those requests were denied, a few were honoured. This paper assesses three of the demands and the aftermath of their return. It also examines the preparedness of heritage institutions and museums in Ghana inrelation to issues of restitution and repatriation. The paper identifies the numerous challenges confronting the museum and heritage sector in Ghana and concludes by calling on policy makers, traditional authorities, universities and the government of Ghana to deepen public awareness of cultural heritage, invest more in museums and heritage institutions to function well and revisit earlier demands that were denied.

Land Farming

<p><strong>English<br /></strong>Utilization of dry land for farming activities in Indonesia is presently less optimal compared with its availability. In order to overcome the "big puzzle" of multidimensional crisis which is induced by monetary crisis in mid of 1997, more attention of the Indonesian government on dry land farming represents a key factor. The implementation of appropriate strategy in developing agribusiness in the dry land region is very important to overcome both the short term economic problem induced by the crisis, and the long term national development problem through its external benefit in reducing environment problem and natural resources degradation. In this relation, efforts required are : (1) Infrastructures development particularly in outer island of Java where most of dry land were located, (2) Arrangement of dry land use on the basis of river basin area in such away to ensure good performance of water circulation system. In this relation, development of appropriate commodities to the land use planned and land distribution forms an important strategy, (3) Policy makers especially in "Ekuin Circle" should put more attention to the development of local resources economic base. To ensure sustainable economic development the government should allocate more investment in the dry land area.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Indonesian<br /></strong>Pemanfaatan lahan kering di Indonesia hingga dewasa ini  masih jauh dari optimal. Untuk menjawab "teka-teki besar" krisis multi dimensi, yang berawal dari krisis ekonomi 1997, dan memperkecil peluang terjadinya pengulangan krisis di kemudian hari, masyarakat Indonesia perlu melihat lahan kering sebagai salah satu kunci pembukanya. Pemberdayaan lahan kering  untuk pengembangan agribisnis bukan saja akan dapat membantu mengatasi stagnasi dan krisi ekonomi dalam jangka pendek, tetapi  dalam jangka panjang akan memberikan manfaat eksternal yang relatif besar di bidang penyehatan ekosistem, pemeliharaan sumberdaya alam dan pengembangan perspektif kegiatan ekonomi berwawasan kebangsaan secara lebih luas. Dalam kaitan itu tersebut beberapa upaya yang diperlukan dalam rangka pemberdayaan lahan kering yaitu: (1) Pembangunan infrastruktur ekonomi di luar Jawa di mana lahan kering terhampar luas, (2) Penataan pola pemanfaatan lahan kering terhampar relatif luas, (2) penataan pola pemanfaatan lahan kering dengan pendekatan wilayah DAS sedemikian rupa sehingga sistem lingkungan dan sirkulasi air berlangsung secara baik. Dalam kaitan ini, pengembangan komoditas pertanian yang sesuai dengan tat guna lahan dan distribusi penguasaan lahan merupakan langkah penting, (3) Perancang kebijakan pembangunan di kalangan ekuin harus lebih memperhatikan pembangunan sektor ekonomi yang berlandaskan pada kekuatan sendiri. Untuk menjamin pembangunan ekonomi secara berkelanjutan maka pemerintah perlu lebih mengarahkan investasinya ke wilayah lahan kering.</p>

Rubberwood (Hevea brasiliensis) has emerged as the most important source of wood raw material in Malaysia. Being a plantation crop, it is regarded as a green and environmental-friendly material that has found applications in almost all sectors of the wood industry. Despite its importance as a socio-economic sector, the future of the rubberwood industry in Malaysia is under scrutiny. The steadily declining rubber cultivation area in the country is raising alarms about the future supply of rubberwood. Although the government provides a replanting subsidy for smallholders, who make up the large proportion of the growers, there is an urgent need to enhance the profitability of rubber growing activities. Efforts to enhance the full recovery of wood biomass available and also expanding the use of rubberwood in high value applications must be pursued rigorously, to arrest the declining interests in rubber cultivation. Policy makers must ensure that rubber cultivation remains economical and the net value of rubberwood is further enhanced through application in non-traditional sectors.
