Abstract This research background by violations of human rights (Human Rights) in Indonesia, particularly women's rights violations in the health sector. Yet the fulfillment of the right to health for women is clearly reflected from ranking Human Development Index (HDI) and Gender-Related Development Index (GDI). One indication is the high maternal mortality rate (MMR) and infant mortality rate increased. In Indonesia, maternal mortality rate is very high in comparison with other countries, even higher than those of developing countries in Southeast Asia. Omission of the right to health is a human rights violation. Therefore, the new law required an effort of political justice and protection of the rights women's health in Indonesia. Moreover Indonesia country is "state of law", the concept of the rule of law is the protection of human rights. In addition, the legal protection of human rights politics in the health sector comes as the commitment of Indonesia in the international program MDG.s. Keywords: politics of law, women's health, rights and justice. Abstrak Penelitian ini dilatar belakangi oleh pelanggaran terhadap hak-hak asasi manusia (HAM) kaum perempuan di Indonesia khususnya pelanggaran terhadap hak-hak di bidang kesehatan. Belum terpenuhinya hak kesehatan bagi perempuan tercermin dengan jelas dari peringkat Human Development Index (HDI) dan Gender Related Developmen Index (GDI). Salah satu indikasinya adalah tingginya angka kematian ibu (AKI) serta meningkatnya angka kematian bayi. Di Indonesia, tingkat AKI sangat tinggi di bandingkan dengan negara-negara lain, bahkan lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan negara-negara berkembang di Asia Tenggara. Pembiaran terhadap hak-hak kesehatan merupakan sebuah pelanggaran HAM. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan politik hukum baru sebagai upaya keadilan dan perlindungan hak-hak kesehatan perempan di Indonesia. Apalagi negara Indonesa adalah “negara hukum”, konsep negara hukum adalah adanya perlindungan terhadap HAM. Selain itu, politik hukum perlindungan HAM di bidang kesehatan ini sebagai upaya komitmen Indonesia dalam program Internasional yakni MDG.s. Kata Kunci: politik hukum, kesehatan perempuan, HAM dan keadilan

The authors explore an alternative way of analyzing the relationship between human development and individualism. The method is based on the first principal component of Hofstede's individualism index in the Human Development Index rating domain. Results suggest that the general idea that greater wealth brings more individualism is only true for countries with high levels of development, while for middle or low levels of development the inverse is true.

Gender Inequality Index is a major indicator presenting level of development of the countries as Human Development Index, which is calculated regularly every year by UN. In this study, an alternative calculation has been proposed for measuring gender inequality index which is an important barrier for the human development. Each indicator in the index integrated as MAUT- AHP and also AHP-TOPSIS and these methods carried out again for the alternative ranking member and candidate countries of the European Union. The main objective here is to represent that the indicators form gender inequality index can be reclassified with different weights for each indicator.

The condition of the border areas in Indonesia is largely isolated, lagging, poor, and backward so as to require an affirmafive and innovative development policy. This study discusses the asymmetrical policy of Jokowi-JK government in the development of border areas in Indonesia. Most of the border areas are Underdeveloped Regions, so a symmetrical or special policy is required so that the development of border areas is not left behind with other regions or other countries. The implementation of the policy was carried out with the development of infrastructure and basic social services for the community as well as financial distribution, implementation of specific policies and arranging the formation of New Autonomous Region (DOB) in welfare-oriented border areas. This asymmetric policy encourages accelerated development in border areas so as to improve the human development index.

This chapter explores the interactions between economic growth and human development, as measured by the Human Development Index, theoretically and empirically. Drawing on many studies it explores the links in two chains, from economic growth to human development, and from human development to growth. Econometric analysis establishes strong links between economic growth and human development, and intervening variables influencing the strength of the chains. Because of the complementary relationship, putting emphasis on economic growth alone is not a long-term viable strategy, as growth is likely to be impeded by failure on human development. The chapter classifies country performance in four ways: virtuous cycles where both growth and human development are successful; vicious cycles where both are weak; and lopsided ones where the economy is strong but human development is weak, or conversely ones where human development is strong but the economy is weak.
