WHAT’S BREWING IN THE WORLD?
The recent financial and economic crisis that brought the US closed to bankruptcy have become the last nail to the decline of the US and West. The world is now turned to the G-20 nations to act in a consortium by creating a new global financial architecture as an integrated solution to the crisis. At the third G-20 Summit in Pittsburgh late November, the G-20 has proclaimed itself as the new Forum for International Economic Cooperation replacing the G8 after the end of US domination in the late 20th century.

Meanwhile, among the G-20 member countries, the only three countries experiencing growth in the midst of the crisis are China (8.6%), India (7.5%) and Indonesia (4.5%). China’s growth in particular has been very robust; and if China could sustain such growth at a minimum of 8% annually, it is not impossible that the global power would shift, according to Martin Jacques, to China alone.

Indonesia as part of the new Troika of CHINDONESIA (China, India and Indonesia) as well as the anchor of ASEAN needs to prepare itself with assertiveness and renew its corporate competitiveness in the wake of the implementation of ASEAN - China Free Trade Agreement .

 

THE BUZZ

Martin Jacques in his book argues that China’s ascendance as an economic superpower will alter the cultural, political, social, and ethnic balance of global power in the twenty-first century, unseating the West and in the process, creating a whole new world. There will be a new type of modernity, a new Chinese Civilization State. China will overtake the United States as the world’s largest economy by 2027 and will ascend to the position of world economic leader by 2050. How will Indonesia as a multi-cultural, pluralist state with long history of economic turnaround survive, and move forward successfully? How will Indonesian economic development and corporate competitiveness face the new regional challenges and opportunities?
 

THE ISSUES

1. If China took over the US or Western domination because of its robust economy, how would this phenomenon

    shape up the dynamics of the world?
2. What are the key success factors that bring China to where it is now and in the future?
3. What should ASEAN and Indonesia look for as China's role becomes increasingly dominant?
4. How would Indonesian corporate and governance respond to the ASEAN China Free Trade Agreement?
5. What are the strategies to empower Indonesian corporations in identifying opportunities of China’s market rather

    than being “preoccupied” with the threat of Chinese product inflow?

THE ANATOMY & PERSPECTIVE ON BANK CENTURY CRISIS:
   "Clarifying the Infamous “Breakfast of the Century”

A flashback to the November ’08 global financial tsunami leading to Bank Century “bail-out” to avoid a potential loss of Rp. 600 Trillion; a loss that would have repeated the 1997 liquidation of 16 Indonesian bank due to rush, and triggered a national monetary crisis.

INDONESIA INC. & THE G-20 MOMENTUM

The 2009 global financial crisis has signaled a change within the geopolitical paradigm where previous monolythical domination such as Pax Romana, Pax Hispanica, Pax Nederlandica, Pax Britannica & Pax Americana is diminishing. The world is now directed towards a Pax Consortis era where the consortium of G-20 countries of which Indonesia is a member, may deliberately control and direct the world’s economy.


What are the perspectives of the Indonesian presidency (SBY-Boediono) and their cabinet in using the momentum that comes only once in a century? Find out the perspectives of German philosopher Robert Schiller in stressing the importance of policy makers and government officials in making the best of this historical opportunity.

ON THE ROAD TO UN-BALI “CLIMATE CHANGE”

   "Creating Global Consensus on a Sustainable Model of Avoided Deforestation"

 

Mounting global concern over climate change and the link to deforestation has drawn international attention to the need to protect the world's forests. As countries prepare for discussion and negotiation at the United Nations Climate Change conference in Bali, there is much interest in "Avoided Deforestation" - an effort to protect forests and reduce carbon emissions. Indonesia as the Chair of the Conference on Parties (COP) XIII will host the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Bali (December 3 to 13, 2007) and discuss the following challenges:


1. How to achieve a global consensus on Avoided Deforestation among countries with different economic status?
2. How to practice responsible forestry practices that are defined by a balance of economic benefit, social

    investment, ecological protection and emission reduction?
3. What kind of investment in the form of green technology is needed? Will the US be the main investor?
4. What kind of model can be implemented to encourage optimal solutions that prioritize rapid development but

    without ecological and social compromise?

TOWARDS US-INDONESIA MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP
   "Jakarta & Washington’s Joint Enlightenment of Perception"
 

Strategic alliances among nations/regions are increasingly important during this globalization era. GNI serves to enlighten the Indonesian elite to be more receptive & proactive towards mutually beneficial strategic partnership with fellow developing and developed countries.

 

Equally important is the relation structure between policy makers and business players in the private sector within the domestic frame. In developing countries such as Indonesia, the concept of lobbying is yet to be introduced, let alone applicable or widely spread. With the countries evolving democratic system where the practice of money politic still lingers, it is important to understand the true meaning behind “lobbying” to enhance the relations between government and private.
 

GNI takes the initiative to educate the Indonesian elite on the crucial impact behind a strong global partnerships on Indonesia’s repositioning in the global map.
