Cost performance is the fundamental criteria for success of any project. Most projects face huge amount of cost variations in Nigeria construction industry. Its performance is based on the three major parameters which include, cost, time and quality. This research was carried out to analyze elemental cost variation in building construction projects in Abuja Nigeria. Secondary data was obtained for the study and analysed using ANOVA, correlation, and regression. The result shows that the most critical factors that contribute to cost variation include unstable economy, improper planning, inaccurate estimate and fraudulent practice. The study finally recommended the best way of a averting the problem which include stabilization of the economy by the government through monitoring of price, stability of cost of labor and building materials. Contractors should employ qualified and experience staff in order to be able to follow the different technical and managerial aspects of the project. The study has concluded that there was no significant difference amongst the variation in the costs of selected groups of building elements. This was based on analysis of variance results. This meant that notwithstanding the magnitude of changes to elemental costs, no single element could be isolated as being exceptional in terms of cost variations. It was concluded that in terms of degree of influence on change in initial contract sums, the Services elements was ranked 1st, based on an R2 value of 25.2%. Substructure had the least influence on changes in the initial contract sum (R2 value of 6.71%).

Law No. 18 of 2017 on the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers (PIMW Law) mandates the formulation of a number of implementing regulations within a period of 2 (two) years since the enactment of the Law. However, only 3 (three) implementing regulations were successfully promulgated within the scheduled time period. While the rest, some are behind schedule, and some have yet to be drafted. To overcome this, the government exercised discretion while still enforcing the former regulations. This paper discusses some impacts of failure to meet the deadline for the formulation of implementing regulations from the PIMW Law and identification of some efforts to overcome these impacts. The writing method used is juridical normative through library studies of secondary data for descriptive qualitative analysis. From the discussion, it is known that the cause of failure to meet the deadline for the formation of implementing regulations is the technical and material constraints of the regulations. The failure to meet the deadline lead to failure in implementing most of the provisions in the PIMW Law and affecting the process of protecting Indonesian migrant workers (IMW), not only before, but also during and after working abroad, such as the imposition of placement fees; existing shelter which is the source of the Covid-19 transmission; and the rampant practice of IMW seafarers’ slavery. Therefore, all implementing regulations of the PIMW Law need to be promulgated. The House, through its supervisory function, both in the Commission and the IMW Supervisory Team, needs to continue to urge the government to establish implementing regulations for the PIMW Law. AbstrakUU No. 18 Tahun 2017 tentang Pelindungan Pekerja Migran Indonesia (UU PPMI) mengamanatkan pembentukan sejumlah aturan pelaksana dalam jangka waktu dua tahun sejak UU tersebut diundangkan. Akan tetapi hanya tiga aturan pelaksana yang berhasil diundangkan dalam jangka waktu tersebut. Sedangkan sisanya, ada yang terlambat dan ada yang belum terbit. Untuk mengatasinya pemerintah melakukan diskresi dengan tetap memberlakukan aturan lama. Tulisan ini membahas mengenai dampak pelanggaran aturan batas waktu pembentukan peraturan pelaksana dari UU PPMI, sehingga dapat diketahui upaya mengatasi dampak tersebut. Metode penulisan yang digunakan adalah yuridis normatif melalui studi perpustakaan untuk menemukan data sekunder yang dianalisis secara deskriptif kualitatif. Adapun dari pembahasan diketahui bahwa penyebab dilanggarnya batas waktu pembentukan aturan pelaksana adalah adanya kendala teknis dan materi peraturan. Pelanggaran tersebut berdampak tidak terlaksananya sebagian besar ketentuan dalam UU PPMI dan berpengaruh pada proses pelindungan pekerja migran Indonesia (PMI), baik sebelum, selama, maupun sesudah bekerja, seperti masih adanya pembebanan biaya penempatan; adanya penampungan PMI yang menjadi sumber penularan Covid-19; dan maraknya praktik perbudakan PMI pelaut. Oleh karena itu, semua peraturan pelaksana dari UU PPMI perlu segera diundangkan. DPR melalui fungsi pengawasan, baik di Komisi maupun Tim Pengawas PMI, perlu terus mendesak pemerintah membentuk aturan pelaksana dari UU PPMI.

Meskipun Indonesia telah mengenakan tindakan anti-dumping terhadap beberapa jenis produk baja, namun impor produk tersebut masih meningkat. Salah satu kemungkinan penyebabnya adalah importasi melalui produk yang dimodifikasi secara tidak substansial atau melalui negara ketiga yang tidak dikenakan tindakan anti-dumping, yang dalam perdagangan internasional umum disebut sebagai praktik circumvention. Studi ini ditujukan untuk membuktikan bahwa circumvention mengakibatkan tindakan anti-dumping atas impor produk baja Indonesia tidak efektif dan untuk memberikan masukan berdasarkan praktik di negara lain supaya kebijakan anti-dumping Indonesia lebih efektif. Circumvention dianalisis dengan membandingkan pola perdagangan antara sebelum dan setelah pengenaan bea masuk anti-dumping (BMAD) menggunakan data sekunder dari Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) maupun Global Trade Information Services (GTIS). Hasil analisis menunjukkan adanya indikasi kuat bahwa circumvention mengkibatkan pengenaan tindakan anti-dumping impor produk baja di Indonesia menjadi tidak efektif. Oleh karena itu, sangat penting bagi Pemerintah Indonesia untuk segera melakukan penyempurnaan terhadap Peraturan Pemerintah No. 34/2011 tentang Tindakan Antidumping, Tindakan Imbalan, dan Tindakan Pengamanan Perdagangan dengan memasukkan klausul tindakan anti-circumvention yang setidaknya mencakup bentuk-bentuk dan prosedur tindakan, sebagaimana yang telah dilakukan beberapa negara seperti: AS, EU, Australia, dan India. Although Indonesia has imposed anti-dumping measures on several types of steel products, the import of steel products is still increasing. One possible cause is that imports are made by non-substantial modification of product or through a third country which is not subject to anti-dumping measures, which is generally referred as circumvention practice. This study is aimed to prove that circumvention made Indonesian anti-dumping actions on the steel products ineffective. This also study provides recommendation for a best practice for other countries so that Indonesia's anti-dumping policy can be more effective. Circumvention was analyzed by comparing trade patterns between before and after the imposition of anti-dumping duty using secondary data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) and the Global Trade Information Services (GTIS). The results of the analysis indicate that circumvention became the reason why Indonesian anti-dumping measures on imported steel products are ineffective. Therefore, it is very important for the Government of Indonesia to immediately make amendments to the Government Regulation No. 34/2011 on Antidumping, Countervailing, and Safeguard Measures by adopting clauses of anti-circumvention. This can be done bycovering the forms/types and procedures of action, as has been implemented by several countries such as the US, EU, Australia, and India.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji daya saing komoditi kakao di Sulawesi Tengah dan melihat peran pemerintah dalam meningkatkan daya saing komoditi kakao. Data primer berasal dari observasi, wawancara dan kuesioner, sementara data sekunder berasal dari instansi terkait. Metode analisis menggunakan Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM) dan analisis sensitivitas. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa nilai PCR Kabupaten Parigi Moutong 0,589 dan Kabupaten Sigi 0,396. Sedangkan nilai DRC Kabupaten Parigi Moutong 0,387 dan Kabupaten Sigi 0,319. Hal tersebut mengindikasikan bahwa usahatani komoditi kakao di Sulawesi Tengah memiliki daya saing, namun tidak menguntungkan secara ekonomi karena Sulawesi Tengah menghasilkan biji kakao yang tidak difermentasi akibatnya petani menerima harga rendah. Berdasarkan hasil analisis, pemerintah belum memberikan proteksi terhadap harga biji kakao dalam negeri melalui harga referensi biji kakao sehingga harga biji kakao didaerah penelitian masih tergolong rendah jika dibandingkan dengan harga di pasar internasional. Sementara terhadap input, pemerintah telah memberikan kebijakan subsidi kepada petani, namun implementasinya masih perlu perbaikan terutama terkait penyaluran dan pengelolaan bantuan agar merata. Kajian ini merekomendasikan masih diperlukan kebijakan pemerintah baik terhadap input maupun output untuk meningkatkan produktivitas, menurunkan biaya produksi dan menaikkan harga jual biji kakao, sehingga dapat meningkatkan daya saing biji kakao. The purpose of this study is to assess the competitiveness of cocoa in Central Sulawesi and to investigate the role of government in improving the competitiveness of cocoa. The primary data were generated through observation, interviews and some questionnaires. The secondary data were obtained from the agency or the institution related to the research. This study uses the Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM) and sensitivity analysis. The study found that the PCR value for Parigi Moutong district was 0.589 and Sigi district was 0.396. While, the DRC value for Parigi Moutong district was 0.387 and Sigi district was 0.319. This indicates that cocoa beans farming in Central Sulawesi has competitiveness, but not economically beneficial because Central Sulawesi produces unfermented cocoa beans consequently farmers receive low prices. Based on the results of the government's impact on output analysis, the government did not provide protection for domestic cocoa seed prices through the reference price of cocoa beans, consequently the price of domestic cocoa beans, particularly in the research area, was relatively low compared to the price of cocoa beans at the international market. Seen from the government policy on inputs, the government have provided subsidies to farmers but they need to improve the distribution and management of aid to be evenly distributed. It is necessary to set up good government policy on inputs and outputs in order to increase cocoa seed productivity, decrease production cost and increase the price which simultaneously can improve its competitiveness in the research location.
