Non-military defense is structured into a security function for public safety which includes natural disaster management, humanitarian operations, socio-culture, economics, defense psychology, which is basically related to awareness of state defense and technology development. The government's economic policies in facing Covid 19 have an impact on Non-military Defense, especially in the economic sector, including causing prolonged uncertainty so that investment weakens and has implications for the cessation of business in all fields that threaten the nation's disintegration. The research objective is to provide government input on the implementation and strategy of economic policies in dealing with Covid 19. Research using qualitative methods is aimed at understanding social phenomena from the perspective of participants. The results achieved are in accordance with the Policy Implementation theory that the government needs a strategy to prepare a strategy through a professional grand design or map, increased coordination between central and local governments and appropriate economic policy setting, especially budget.

The era of globalization saw China emerge as the world’s manufacturing titan. However, the “made in China” model—with its reliance on cheap labor and thin profits—has begun to wane. Beginning in the 2000s, the Chinese state shifted from attracting foreign investment to promoting technological competitiveness of domestic firms. This shift, however, caused tensions between winners and losers, leading local bureaucrats to compete for resources in government budget, funding, and tax breaks. While bureaucrats successfully built coalitions to motivate businesses to upgrade in some cities, in others, vested interests within the government deprived businesses of developmental resources and left them in a desperate race to the bottom. In Manipulating Globalization, Ling Chen argues that the roots of coalitional variation lie in the type of foreign firms with which local governments forged alliances. Cities that initially attracted large global firms with a significant share of exports were more likely to experience manipulation from vested interests down the road compared to those that attracted smaller foreign firms. The book develops the argument with in-depth interviews and tests it with quantitative data across hundreds of Chinese cities and thousands of firms. Chen advances a new theory of economic policies in authoritarian regimes and informs debates about the nature of Chinese capitalism. Her findings also shed light on state-led development and coalition formation in other emerging economies that comprise the new “globalized” generation.

The coastal areas and the front islands have strategic roles for Indonesia as an archipelagic state. This circumstance is a result of the natural resources contained by the two maritime entities. However, those strategic roles could not be empowered optimally yet, both in terms of socio-economic and security-defense aspects. Whereas, the optimal empowered areas have significance to strengthen the national sovereignty. This research aims to analyze the problems and present the solutions in developing the coastal areas and the front islands to enforce national sovereignty. This research uses a literature review approach. Desk research and annotated bibliography are used as the data collection and analysis methods. The result of this research is that it is important to conduct effective regional development mechanisms based on regional security and management approaches. Effective regional security could be done by involving the community in the state defense system through a reserve component scheme, while effective regional management could be done by enhancing the roles of the three main stakeholders, who are the government, society, and other interest groups (private sector, NGOs, local governments). The conclusion of this research is in terms of enforcing the national sovereignty, the development of the coastal areas and the front islands has to be done comprehensively by combining security and prosperity approaches, which are implemented through effective regional security and management mechanisms. Abstrak Wilayah pesisir dan pulau-pulau terdepan memiliki nilai strategis bagi Indonesia sebagai sebuah negara maritim. Hal ini tidak terlepas dari kekayaan sumber daya alam yang dimiliki oleh kedua entitas maritim tersebut. Namun demikian, nilai strategis tersebut belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal karena wilayah pesisir dan pulau-pulau terdepan belum diberdayakan, baik dalam konteks sosial-perekonomian maupun pertahanan-keamanan. Padahal, secara umum wilayah pesisir dan pulau-pulau terdepan yang diberdayakan secara optimal akan memiliki signifikansi penting dalam menopang kedaulatan nasional. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis permasalahan dan merumuskan solusi terkait pola pembinaan wilayah pesisir dan pulau-pulau terdepan dalam mendukung tegaknya kedaulatan nasional melalui pendekatan tinjauan pustaka. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui metode desk research. Analisis data dilakukan dengan metode annotated bibliography. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah dibutuhkannya mekanisme pembinaan wilayah secara efektif berbasis pengamanan dan pengelolaan. Pengamanan wilayah dapat dilakukan dengan melibatkan masyarakat di wilayah pesisir dan dan pulau-pulau terdepan dalam sistem pertahanan negara melalui skema komponen cadangan, sedangkan pengelolaan wilayah dilakukan dengan lebih mengoptimalkan peran dan kontribusi dari tiga pemangku kepentingan utama, yakni pemerintah, masyarakat, serta kelompok kepentingan lainnya. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah dalam rangka menegakkan kedaulatan nasional, pembinaan wilayah pesisir dan pulau-pulau terdepan harus dilakukan secara terpadu dan komprehensif dengan berbasis pada pendekatan keamanan dan kesejahteraan. Pendekatan keamanan dapat dimanifestasikan melalui mekanisme pengamanan wilayah secara efektif, sedangkan pendekatan kesejahteraan dapat diwujudkan melalui mekanisme pengelolaan wilayah secara efektif.

Justice that has not existed and is apparent among the disabilities in Indonesia is very large and spread in the archipelago is very large, making the issue of equality is a very important thing especially with the publication of the Disability Act No. 8 of 2016 at the beginning of that year. Only a few provinces that understand properly and well on open and potential issues and issues will affect other areas including the increasingly growing number of elderly people in Indonesia due to the increasing welfare of the people. The government of DKI Jakarta, including the most concerned with disability, from the beginning has set a bold step to defend things related to disability, including local governments in Solo, Bali, Makassar and several other areas. Leprosy belonging to the disability community has a very tough marginalization, the disability that arises from leprosy quite a lot, reaches ten percent more and covers the poor areas of Indonesia, such as Nusa Tenggara Timur, Papua, South Sulawesi Provinces and even East Java and West Java and Central Java Provinces. If we compare again with the ASEAN countries we also do not miss the moment in ratifying the CRPD (Convention of Rights for People with Disability) into the Law of Disability No. 8 of 2016 which, although already published but still get rejections in some sections because do not provide proper empowerment and rights equality. The struggle is long and must be continued to build equal rights in all areas, not only health and welfare but also in the right of the right to receive continuous inclusive education.

This article selects the listed companies in China’s A-share heavy pollution industry from 2014 to 2018 as samples, uses a random effect model to empirically test the relationship between media attention and corporate environmental performance and examines the impacts of local government environmental protection and property nature on that relationship. Results are as follow: (1) Media attention can significantly affect a company’s environmental performance. The higher the media attention, the greater the company’s supervision and the better its environmental performance. (2) In areas where the government pays less attention to environmental protection, the impact of media on corporate environmental performance is more obvious, but in other areas, the impact of media on environmental performance cannot be reflected; (3) The media attention is very significant for the environmental performance improvement of state-owned enterprises, and it is not obvious in non-state-owned enterprises. (4) A further breakdown of the study found that the role of media attention in corporate environmental performance is only significant in the sample of local governments that have low environmental protection and are state-owned enterprises. This research incorporates the local government’s emphasis on environmental protection into the research field of vision, expands the research scope of media and corporate environmental performance, and also provides new clues and evidence for promoting the active fulfillment of environmental protection responsibilities by companies and local governments.

As the third-largest SO2 emitter in the world, China is facing mounting domestic and external pressure to tackle the increasingly serious SO2 pollution. Figuring out the convergence and persistence of sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions matters much for environmental policymakers in China. This study mainly utilizes the Fourier quantile unit root test to survey the convergence of the SO2 emissions per capita in 74 cities of China during the period of December 2014 to June 2019, by conducting five traditional unit root tests and a quantile root unit test as a comparative analysis. The empirical results indicate that the SO2 emissions per capita in 72 out of 74 cities in China are convergent in the sample period. The results also suggest that the unit root behavior of the SO2 emissions per capita in these cities is asymmetrically persistent at different quantiles. For the cities with the convergent SO2 emissions, the government should consider the asymmetric mean-reverting pattern of SO2 emissions when implementing environmental protection policies at different stages. For Hefei and Nanjing, the local governments need to enact stricter environmental protection policies to control the emission of sulfur dioxide.

This chapter assesses China’s science and technology (S&T) progress through the lens of the patenting literature in the context of China. In particular, after presenting an overview of China’s patent production over the past twenty-five years, it investigates the following questions: What accounts for China’s patent surge? What are the implications of the surge for patent quality? Does the nature of the patenting reveal China’s S&T direction and comparative advantage? How has the international sector affected China’s patent production? What has been the role of the government—the central, provincial, and local governments—in shaping patent production? And finally, how heterogeneous is China’s regional patent production; are patenting capabilities diffusing across China?
