Although the government of Indonesia and Timor Leste have conducted a number of policy decisions and actions to manage border conflict between Indonesia and Oecusse District, Timor Leste, the conflict remains unresolved and has the potential to continue. This study examines the influence of government policy on the management of border conflict between the two countries. Data obtained from questionnaires were analysed statistically descriptive, and through Pearson correlation and simple linear regression. The findings show that Indonesian government policy decisions and actions are slightly slow and less equal in acting on managing the border conflict, and less clear in implementing border line regulation between the two countries, but has high ability to prevent the conflict escalation. Customary figures who live in the border conflict region highly agree with and suggest to the government of both sides the use of customary law/oath as policy alternative in managing the conflict but the suggestion remains less responded well. This study also reveals that Indonesian government policy positively and moderately correlates, however, its influence on management of the border conflict is 33.5%. The government of Indonesia needs to improve its policy decisions and actions to manage the border conflict so that can prevent well the potential of the conflict continuation.

Batik was first listed as an Intangible Cultural Humanity Heritage by UNESCO on October 2, 2009. As the home country for batik, Indonesia has committed to preserve and increase its popularity in the global market. These efforts are carried out through various strategies and policies to encourage the internationalization of batik, especially during the 2015-2019 period where there has been a significant decline in batik exports. This study aims to describe the strategy and government policy in encouraging the internationalization of batik in the global market. Using the Hybrid model proposed by Lei Li & Li/Tevfik Dalgic as one of the models of internationalization carried out by Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs). This model explains the stages of internationalization which include Planning, Execution, and Antecedent Phase. Based on this research, between 2015-2019, the Indonesian government has implemented various strategies and policies domestically and internationally to support batik SMEs, expand its non-traditional markets, and hold provisions on importing TPT batik and batik motifs to protect the industry. Yet, these strategies and policies were not very successfully implemented. The government efforts were still decentralized, so the strategic steps taken by various institutions and related stakeholders were not in sync. In addition, the shift in the antecedent phase to involve SMEs in every implementation of the internationalization program was also minimal.

Since 2017, Indonesian labour in Singapore has been getting a salary of SGD 550 excluding the compensation for overtime work. It has attracted Indonesian citizens to work in Singapore. However, they experience exploitation from their employers and, based on the survey, they work over time, receive low salaries and a little time off even some of them experience physical or verbal abuse. The regulations issued by Indonesia have not been able to protect the rights of its migrant workers in Singapore. This is due to the weakness of legal enforcement. To get the protection, the victims require long and strenuous efforts. This is very aggravating for Indonesian labour, considering they are in a state of fear. Indonesian government should learn from the experience of the Philippines, in which the sender of the labour is the government of the Philippines which has been recognized by ILO.Keywords: Protection, Indonesian labour

John T. Lauridsen: The government’s recommendations were not voiced in vain. Erik Scavenius’ meeting with the press on 14 September 1942 Erik Scavenius did not hold many major press conferences in his time as Foreign Minister, nor as Prime Minister and Foreign Minister in the period 1940–43. An exception occurred on 14 September 1942, when a great number of issues coincided and led him to hold a large scale meeting in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to explain simultaneously to prominent members of Danish press, politicians and civil servants what the government’s policy was, how the government and its policy was handled in the press and in particular, how the government’s policy should be presented. Both the government’s partners and the press were severely criticized and it was implied there was a government mole so that confidential information was being leaked. The press needed to understand its responsibility at this difficult time in Denmark. The people from the press were allowed to respond and on the whole were seemingly receptive to the instructions. What took place at the meeting was not reported in the newspapers the following day. Instead, background material was provided with the intent of counteracting tendencies in the press running counter to government policy.

In interacting with other nations within the international level, Indonesia’s traditional diplomacy is conducted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Here, it plays a role as the representative of the government. However, in today’s advanced era, diplomacy is an instrument that should involve every component of the society, including the migrant workers”. The current problematic is that there are hundreds to millions of Indonesian migrant workers residing in other countries but Indonesia has failed to actualize these workers as power for its foreign policy.  Every year, hundred of thousands of Indonesians migrate to other countries to work. These workers reside in various countries all over the world, including in ASEAN countries. Malaysia has the second largest number of Indonesian migrant workers after Saudi Arabia. Until today, these Indonesian migrants are merely considered as labor force. They are not valued as structural importance who has bargaining power in diplomatic practice.  The purpose of this writing is to operationalize the concept of multi track diplomacy in an attempt to enforce the role of migrant workers as a non-diplomatic group to further strengthen Indonesia’s diplomatic posture. As an agent of the third-track diplomacy, this writing will further describe the role of migrant workers as the foundation of diplomatic strength.

The government through the law makes a policy to aggressively seek rehabilitation for the drug users. This is done in the context of tackling the abuse of narcotics in Indonesia. Thus, it is necessary to study the policy objectives based on the perspective of maqashid sharia by conducting qualitative research using secondary data. From the results of the research, the Indonesian Government has implemented rehabilitation sanctions for the narcotics user because the users are victims of other people's crimes, namely illegal narcotics dealers. If a narcotics user is given a sanction of imprisonment / imprisonment, it will have a worse impact and cannot eliminate his dependence on narcotics. Seen from the perspective of maqashid sharia, this government policy does not conflict with the objectives contained in the maqashid sharia concept, as the goal of rehabilitation which requires the users to be aware of their mistakes, so that they will become better humans both towards their God and those around him.
