<strong>Abstract</strong> - Two Indonesian companies, namely PT PAL and PT. Daya Radar Utama (DRU), have been given the tasks by the Government of Indonesia to produce several warships for the Indonesian Navy. The Government has also issued a policy in the field of defense industry, which among others regulates matters related to the procurement of the TNI’s main weapon systems. This research is intended to examine the impacts of the policy on the operations and supply chain strategies of PT PAL and PT DRU in producing warships. By using descriptive qualitative analysis method, the Researcher analyzed empirical data obtained in the field research supported by several theories, namely theory of strategy, theory of operations and supply chain strategy, theory of public policy, and theory of self-sufficient. From the analysis, there are several findings. The policies have given a certain level of positive impacts on the industries, such as: the improvement of cooperations among them, the improvement of manufacturing process due to the product’s standardization, the improvement of self-reliance level of the industries, and the capability improvement of the companies due to cooperation with foreign parties. However, the policies still give negative impacts to the companies, such as: the low level application of the supply chain management, low level use of the domestic materials and ship’s components, and the low level of fair competition among domestic defense industries.<br /><strong>Keywords</strong>: operation strategy, supply chain, warship, PT PAL, PT DRU, Navy, Government of Indonesia, defense industry policy.

With the problems of doping in sport becoming more serious, the World Anti-Doping Code was drafted by the World Anti-Doping Agency in 2003 and became effective one year later. Since its passage, the Code has been renewed four times, with the fourth and latest version promulgated in January 2015. The Code was intended to tackle the problems of doping in sports through cooperation with governments to ensure fair competition as well as the health of athletes. To understand China’s strategies for managing compliance with the Code and also the implications behind those strategies, this study borrows ideas from theories of compliance. China’s high levels of performance in sport, judged by medal success, have undoubtedly placed the country near the top of the global sports field. Therefore, how China acts in relation to international organizations, and especially how it responds to the World Anti-Doping Agency, is highly significant for the future of elite sport and for the world anti-doping regime. Through painstaking efforts, the researchers visited Beijing to conduct field research four times and interviewed a total of 22 key sports personnel, including officials at the General Administration of Sports of China, the China Anti-Doping Agency, and individual sport associations, as well as sport scholars and leading officials of China’s professional sports leagues. In response to the World Anti-Doping Agency, China developed strategies related to seven institutional factors: ‘monitoring’, ‘verification’, ‘horizontal linkages’, ‘nesting’, ‘capacity building’, ‘national concern’ and ‘institutional profile’. As for the implications, the Chinese government is willing and able to comply with the World Anti-Doping Agency Code. In other words, the Chinese government is willing to pay a high price in terms of money, manpower and material resources so that it can recover from the disgrace suffered as a result of doping scandals in the 1990s. The government wants to ensure that China’s prospects as a participant, bidder and host of mega sporting events are not compromised, especially as the host of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.

Diverse foreign investment schemes on defense industry in various countries are undergoing reform stage in order to recover domestic industry as well as to create sustainable industries. The transformation evolves in investment regulations and industry governance. This research use a normative juridical approach on the open and closed defense industry related to foreign investment, and on government role to create sustainable Joint Venture (JV). The Government has regulate level of participation of foreign investor on defense industries, based on strategic value level of defense industry’s cluster, thru level of control toward foreign investor in defense industry, starting from 0 percent to maximum 49 percent for closed sector under JV with State Owned Enterprise (SOE) for conditional open sector, and to maximum of 100 percent for open sector. Law No. 16 of 2012 on Defense Industry stipulates that the Industry of Key Equipment is non-accessible for foreign participation, while Law No. 25 of 2007 on Direct Investment, stipulates that the industry of weaponry, explosive device, gunpowder, and combat equipment, are non-accessible for foreign participation, and as a consequence harmonization of the two Laws is of necessity. To create sustainable JV, planning and control over JV by the government is crucial. Government thru Defense Industry Policy Committee (KKIP), determines on which industrial sector is economical and has competitive edge to defense industry and also determines which SOE and foreign partner will run the organization of JV. Control over JV with 51% of shares owned by SOE will be conducted according to Law No. 40 of 2007 on Limited Liability Company. AbstrakBerbagai skema PMA industri pertahanan di berbagai negara mengalami tahapan reformasi demi tercapainya revitalisasi industri dalam negeri maupun terciptanya industri yang berkesinambungan. Reformasi yang dilakukan meliputi peraturan penanaman modal dan tata kelola industri. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian yuridis normatif tentang bidang usaha yang terbuka dan tertutup bagi PMA di industri pertahanan, dan bagaimana pemerintah membentuk Joint Venture(JV) yang berkesinambungan. Pemerintah telah mengatur tingkat partisipasi PMA di industri pertahanan berdasarkan tingkat nilai strategis suatu klaster industri pertahanan, melalui derajat pengendalian pihak asing di suatu perseroan pertahanan, dari sektor tertutup atau 0%, bersyarat di bawah BUMN hingga 49%, dan sektor terbuka hingga 100%. UU No. 16 Tahun 2012 tentang Industri Pertahanan mengatur bahwa Industri Alat Utama merupakan Industri yang tertutup bagi partisipasi asing, sementara UU No. 25 Tahun 2007 tentang Penanaman Modal mengatur bahwa industri senjata, mesiu, alat peledak, dan peralatan perang tertutup bagi asing, sehingga harmonisasi peraturan diperlukan. Untuk membentuk JV yang berkesinambungan, perencanaan Pemerintah dan pengendalian JV memegang peranan penting. Penentuan sektor industri pertahanan yang berdaya saing dan ekonomis dilakukan oleh Komite Kebijakan Industri Pertahanan (KKIP), termasuk penentuan BUMN dan Mitra PMA yang akan menjalankan organ perseroan JV. Pengendalian JV yang 51% sahamnya dimiliki oleh BUMN, akan dilakukan sesuai UU No. 40 Tahun 2007 tentang Perseroan Terbatas.

The Government of Indonesia plans to build 9 gas power plants in South Kalimantan, South Sulawesi and Southeast Nusa Tenggara with a total power capacity of 780 MW with an estimated actual gas demand of 46.56 MMSCFD which are planned to be supplied by the Bontang terminal, DS-LNG, Masela LNG, and Tangguh LNG. LNG-C logistics optimization is needed to get the best transportation scenario regarding the eastern region which consists of scattered islands and inadequate infrastructure. This study analyzes and evaluates the best-case scenarios by comparing the time and cost variables. The process of planning the supply chain starts from determining the upstream-downstream distribution scheme and then calculates the shipping distance which results in the determination of the quantity, capacity and shipping of the LNG-C. Based on the analysis and calculation of the logistics, it is concluded that there are 3 divisions of clusters of Kalimantan-Sulawesi, NTT and NTB having estimated needs in a row of 18.06, 18.8, and 9.7 MMSCFD with the Milk-Run transportation method. Logistics optimization results show that scenario 1 has an efficiency value of 87% with an LNG-C transport capacity of 0.35 MMSCF, a roundtrip cruise time of 8.6 days and the number of shipments is 36 / year. The detailed analysis of costs in scenario A is 1-2 USD / MMBTU for the milk and run transportation method, 1.49-1.73 USD / MBTU for LNG-C transport costs, and regasification costs which are 1.0-3.7 USD / MMBTU. Based on the above results it can be calculated that the price of gas in the first year of implementation was 13.4 USD / MMBTU, so the total value below this supply chain was Rp.8,812,876,800.00. Therefore, this idea was created as a solution for the initial steps for the utilization of the domestic natural gas distribution

Two low-level armed conflicts, Indonesia’s East Timor and Ivory Coast’s post-2010 election crises, provide detailed qualitative evidence of highly structured intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) engaging in effective civil warpreventing activities in member-states. Highly structured IGOs threatened and sanctioned each of these states and offered (long-term) benefits conditional on successful crisis resolution. The governments were aware of and responded to these IGOs’ concerns, as did the rebels in these respective cases. The early stages of the conflict in Syria in 2011 provide a counterpoint. With Syria’s limited engagement in only few highly structured IGOs, the Syrian government ignored international calls for peace. And, without highly structured IGOs’ counterweight to curtail the government, the rebels saw little reason to stop their armed resistance. The result was a brutal and deadly civil war that continues today.

The Impact

In closed-loop supply chains (CLSC), manufacturers, retailers, and recyclers perform their duties. Due to the asymmetry of information among enterprises, it is difficult for them to maximize efficiency and profits. To maximize the efficiency and profit of the CLSC, this study establishes five cooperation models of CLSC under the government‘s reward–penalty mechanism. We make decisions on wholesale prices, retail prices, transfer payment prices, and recovery rates relying on the Stackelberg game method and compare the optimal decisions. This paper analyzes the impact of the government reward-penalty mechanism on optimal decisions and how members in CLSC choose partners. We find that the government’s reward-penalty mechanism can effectively increase the recycling rate of used products and the total profit of the closed-loop supply chain. According to the calculation results of the models, under the government’s reward-penalty mechanism, the cooperation can improve the CLSC’s used products recycling capacity and profitability. In a supply chain, the more members participate in the cooperation, the higher profit the CLSC obtain. However, the cooperation mode of all members may lead to monopoly, which is not approved by government and customers.

ABSTRACTWith much fanfare, Ghana's Jubilee Oil Field was discovered in 2007 and began producing oil in 2010. In the six coastal districts nearest the offshore fields, expectations of oil-backed development have been raised. However, there is growing concern over what locals perceive to be negative impacts of oil and gas production. Based on field research conducted in 2010 and 2015 in the same communities in each district, this paper presents a longitudinal study of the impacts (real and perceived) of oil and gas production in Ghana. With few identifiable benefits beyond corporate social responsibility projects often disconnected from local development priorities, communities are growing angrier at their loss of livelihoods, increased social ills and dispossession from land and ocean. Assuming that others must be benefiting from the petroleum resources being extracted near their communities, there is growing frustration. High expectations, real and perceived grievances, and increasing social fragmentation threaten to lead to conflict and underdevelopment.
