Asian Society for International Relations and Public Affairs
Indonesia Focus Conference -- On Indonesia's Global Competitiveness
The term "global competition" has often been used or treated as a mantra
when talking about business, economic development, and beyond. Political
constellations, among others, have not been able to exclude the term
--global competition-- from their discussions. As such, the conference
organizer sees the need for discussing Indonesia's development in light
of global competition issues. Harmony and balance are the true heart of
Indonesia's movement toward engaging Indonesia's economy in the
international community. For that reason, the organizer chooses to use
expressions that reflect such aspects for this conference. Because the
term "global competition" may refer to the existence of rivalry or
win-lose outcomes, we believe that the phrase "global competitiveness"
would eliminate such notion. The phrase explains our vision to empower
Indonesia to engage in domestic as well as international business. We
strive to improve the quality of Indonesia's involvement in global
economy without harming other economies.
It is important that global competitiveness be measured in order to
provide accurate and real information in regard to the achievement level
of an economy. However, many institutions have misled the purpose of
having such information. As a result, public will be exposed to two
contradictory facts about the global competitiveness that clout any
effort to upgrade the ability of Indonesia's economy to move toward
higher productivity. It is not something peculiar when a scientific
speech mentioned that Indonesia's global competitiveness was declining
(Pikiran Rakyat, May 19, 2009), while another source claimed that
Indonesia's global competitiveness was rising (IMD, June 7, 2009).
This is the reason why as Indonesian community members we must get
together. It is imperative for any Indonesian, particularly the one who
is privileged to have access to knowledge and skills to help build the
country. The very first mission of the conference is putting aside all
politically motivated -- sound scientific-terrific reports or figures
that misinform people and policy makers in regard to global
competitiveness. The conference is organized in order to discover the
truth about Indonesia's economic competitiveness. We then discuss the
best way for Indonesia to improve its chance to do business worldwide,
particularly to improve information system pertaining to innovations. On
this occasion, the focus will be on agriculture and information and
technology.
The Asian Society for International Relations and Public Affairs
(ASIRPA) is pleased to invite public presentation during the year of
2010 Indonesia Focus conference to be held in Chicago, the great state
of Illinois.
The conference will provide a forum for discussion and exchange across
the broad spectrum of topics to the benefit of conference participants
and Indonesian community at large. For this year's occasion, the
organizing committee offers several topics as follows:
- Indonesia's policy on economic development and global trade
- The audacity of hope toward Indonesia's development
- Developing Indonesia and U.S. cooperation.
- Global threat and opportunities in Agricultural product
- Challenge in agricultural modernization
- The efficient agriculture industry
- Marketing Indonesia's products
- Policy on Indonesia's Information -- Technology
- Best topics in IT for Indonesia
- Current development in IT

These topics can be presented in various ways.
