  • As Indonesia is rich in natural resources, nuclear power remains a low priority among energy alternatives. However, Indonesia needs to introduce nuclear power to improve the atmospheric environment and to support sustainable economic growth. This study conducted a two-stage survey of logit-probit and analytic hierarchy process to analyze the perception of Indonesian energy policymakers regarding the introduction of nuclear power, the potential for change, and key decision factors. The analysis confirms that the perception of nuclear power is positive and that the willingness to expand nuclear power can improve if negative conditions, such as underdeveloped technology level, foreign aid and assistance, and safety issues are addressed. In addition, it is confirmed that the policy makers consider political/social and environmental factors to be more important for decision-making. The results of this study can give inplications and be used as a key reference for Indonesia's nuclear power policy

  • This paper traces the trajectory of a variety of complicated economic and political developments between China and India - the world's most ancient civilizations connected by rich history. These recent developments, which are heavily acrimonious and include military clashes involving loss of lives, have greatly damaged bilateral relations. The paper examines the reasons behind the bilateral relations dipping to new lows. Aside from specific bilateral disputes like outstanding border problems, China-India relations have been affected by global and regional developments. The paper identifies rising tensions between the U.S. and China, the evolution of the Belt and Road Initiative, and the growth of the Indo-Pacific construct, as the reasons that have expanded distance and mistrust between the two countries. Both China and India are now part of country coalitions aiming to marginalize each other's strategic influences. The paper argues that such efforts by them are going to impact countries in their neighbourhood - such as in Central Asia - by forcing them to make complex choices in the areas of trade engagement and technological development.

  • The US-China trade war forced a reluctant semiconductor industry into someone else's fight, a very different position from its leading role in the 1980s trade conflict with Japan. This paper describes how the political economy of the global semiconductor industry has evolved since the 1980s. That includes both a shift in the business model behind how semiconductors go from conception to a finished product as well as the geographic reorientation toward Asia of demand and manufactured supply. It uses that lens to explain how, during the modern conflict with China, US policymakers turned to a legally complex set of export restrictions targeting the semiconductor supply chain in the attempt to safeguard critical infrastructure in the telecommunications sector. The potentially far-reaching tactics included weaponization of exports by relatively small but highly specialized American software service and equipment providers in order to constrain Huawei, a Fortune Global 500 company. It describes potential costs of such policies, some of their unintended consequences, and whether policymakers might push them further in the attempt to constrain other Chinese firms.

  • The earlier literature widely documented the role of natural resources in economic development and confined their findings either in support of resource blessing growth or resource curse hypothesis. The ample research on the stated theme has available in the relevant databases, supported with empirical data, while a few studies used a case study or mixed-method approach. The study identified plenty of room on a given topic by conducting a systematic literature review and synthesizing the literature in more meaningful inferences. After a thorough investigation of the literature review through systematic intervention, the study concludes that natural resource management is imperative for a country's sustained growth. Simultaneously, it is desirable to reduce resource conflicts, improve institutional performance, decrease corruption, and stabilize the political environment to get maximum natural resource management potential globally.

  • Each country's economic progress creates opportunities for its citizens to raise their income. Meanwhile, the country has secured the people's social security policies, particularly the protection of income equality, to promote harmonious and sustained economic development. Vietnam has been located in a dynamic economic development area in Southeast Asia since the 1986 economic reforms, with an annual growth rate of around 7%. Meanwhile, having achieved a middle-income status of roughly 3500 USD per person per year, Vietnam is attempting to maintain income equality and access to welfare systems for its inhabitants. As a result, the primary goal of this study is to use an autoregressive distributed lagged model to investigate the effects of income inequality and other economic factors such as foreign direct investment and trade openness on Vietnam's economic growth from 1992 to 2019. The research focuses attention on literature on income inequality, economic development indicators, and economic development in unique ways in this study. Income inequality slows the rate of change in economic development in the same year, according to our findings. Finally, the study will make policy suggestions to the Vietnamese government.

  • We investigate how reforestation contributed to stabilization of riverine water levels in South Korea. For the purpose, we estimate an equation capturing dynamic relationships among rainfall, upstream-area tree stock, and downstream water levels in three river systems of Hongcheon, Mangyeong, and Hyeongsan, using daily observations of precipitation and water levels for the period from 1985 to 2005. Simulation based on estimation results shows that increase in the tree stock in a river basin leads to a significantly suppressed peaking in riverine water levels in response to an abrupt and concentrated rain in the upstream area. For instance, an hour-long concentration of 100mm rain results in 0.7m rise in water level if the volume of growing stock is 1 million m3, whereas the rise in water level stays below 0.27m with 5 million m3 in the growing-stock volume.

  • This paper evaluates explanations for China's growth slowdown. The natural tendency for rapidly growing economies to slow down is a major factor, along with problems bequeathed by unbalanced growth, including a declining ICOR, slowing total factor productivity growth, and rising indebtedness. A number of other mechanisms are of lesser importance: demographics, President Xi's centralization of political power and anti-corruption campaign, and U.S. export controls. Sustaining growth in the longer term will require China to step away from investment, debt and export-fueled growth in favor of a balanced growth model with household consumption playing a larger role. Doing so will require hardening of the budget constraints of regional and local governments and restructuring of the nonperforming debts of property and construction companies.

  • 본고에서는 가정교육학의 사회적 기여 방안과 미래 가정 교과의 방향을 제시하고 사회에 기여하는 가정교육학의 이론적 틀과 미국과 일본의 가정과 수업과 동아리 활동의 실천 사례를 제시하여 가정교육학의 미래 비전을 제시하는 데 있다. 본고의 내용은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 가정 교과는 다음을 통해서 이 사회에 기여한다: (1) 개인적인 면에서 다양하고 상이한 가족 이데올로기로 가족 피로에 시달리는 개인으로 하여금 그릇된 가족 이념을 비판하여 왜곡된 삶에서 벗어나서 자율적인 삶을 살아갈 수 있도록 교한다; (2) 가족-사회관계 면에서 가족이기주의 이념을 비판하고 공동체 사회 지원과 참여를 할 수 있는 민주시민의 자질을 갖춘 성숙한 가정을 형성하기 위한 교육을 한다; 그리고 (3) 남녀관계 면에서 성차별 이데올로기를 비판할 뿐 아니라 비판을 통해서 실제로 생활에 실천할 수 있도록 남녀모두에게 양성평등의식과 가정생활 관리 방법을 교육한다. 둘째, 미래에 가정 교과는 개인적 차원에서는 창의성과 문제해결력을 강화시키고 지식의 습득보다는 삶의 지혜를 터득하고 사회적 차원에서 정직과 도덕성을 겸비하며 서로를 존중하는 전인교육을 강화하여야 한다. 사회적 차원에서는 가정생활이 얼마나 정치, 경제, 사회, 행정 시스템과 연계가 되는지 그 맥락을 파악하고 비판하여 행동할 수 있는 능력을 기르도록 해야 한다. 셋째, Brown과 Paolucci(1979)는 개인과 가족을 변화의 주체로 보고 현존하는 사회 경제 정치 체계가 제시한 사회적 형상과 이념과 이상에 문제가 있을 경우 개인과 가족이 이념과 이상을 변화시키고 사회적 형상을 변화시켜 사회 경제 정치 체계를 바람직한 조건으로 형성시켜가는 개념적 체계를 제안하였다. 본고에서는 Brown과 Paolucci(1979)가 제안한 이론적 틀을 두 가지 측면 즉, 사고와 가치판단을 통한 행동을 이끌 수 있는 것인가의 측면과 과거와 현재, 미래의 시간적 고려를 가능하게 해주는가의 측면에서 그 타당성을 검토하였다. 넷째, 일본과 미국의 가정과 수업이나 동아리 활동에서 학생이 변화의 주체로서의 역량을 기르도록 어떻게 교육하는 지 그 과정을 다룬 수업과 동아리 활동 사례를 소개하였다. 다섯째, 미래 가정과교육의 비전은 빠르게 변화하는 현 사회에서 나타난 가족 문제와 요구를 반영하여 가족의 일원인 학습자로 하여금 왜곡된 가족이념으로부터 벗어나서 성숙한 가족관계와 가정생활을 유지하며 공동체 사회에 참여하는 가족개혁을 이루어내는데 있다. 이러한 가족개혁은 가족이라는 집단을 사회개혁을 이끄는 주체집단으로 여기기에 가정교과에서는 가족이 사회변화를 이끄는 집단이 될 수 있도록 주도적인 의식과 실천적 의지를 갖도록 자율적 힘(empowerment), 의식의 깨어남(enlightenment), 그리고 자주성(autonomy) 교육을 강화하여야 한다. 가정교과를 통한 가족개혁을 위해서 가정교과는 과거의 실업교과가 아닌 실천비판교과로서의 패러다임 전환을 시급히 요구한다.
