What does regional trade in South Asia reveal about future trade integration? Some empirical evidence
No full textIn 1995 the seven South Asian countries-Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka-initiated a multilateral framework for regionwide integration under the South Asian Preferential Trade Agreement (SAPTA). In a recent initiative, members agreed that SAPTA would begin the transformation into a South Asian Free Trade Area (SAFTA) by the beginning of 2006, with full implementation completed between 2009 and 2013. The impetus toward regional preferential trading arrangements and greater regional economic integration raises many important issues, both for the South Asian region as a whole and for the individual countries. The author uses the natural trading partners hypothesis as the empirical criterion to assess the potential success of a South Asian trading bloc. Using various definitions of the natural trading partner hypothesis-based on trade volume, geographic proximity, and the complementarity approaches-the author demonstrates that the South Asian countries can be characterized only moderately as natural trading partners. This characterization is, however, largely a consequence of previous impediments to trade among regional members. The author further demonstrates through additional statistical measures-including revealed comparative advantage indices, trade concentration, and trade competition profiles-that the trade structures that have evolved among the South Asian Countries may not facilitate a rapid increase in intra-regional trade. But there is evidence that previous unilateral trade liberalization efforts in the South Asian countries have already had a positive impact in boosting both intra- and extra-regional trade. Continuing the process of unilateral liberalization, in parallel with regional integration, would aid the South Asian countries to continue to diversify their still narrow export bases and potentially evolve new comparative advantages and complementarities that could facilitate the successful implementation of SAFTA.TF054105-DONOR FUNDED OPERATION ADMINISTRATION FEE INCOME AND EXPENSE ACCOUNT,Trade and Regional Integration,Economic Theory&Research,Trade Policy,Environmental Economics&Policies

Al-Ulūhiyatu ‘Inda Mu’taqadi Sapta Darma wa Sumarah (Dirāsah Muqāranah)
No full textAs one of the Almighty creatures, humans will certainly never be separated from
thoughts about their God. Divinity is one of the sacred things which mediates how
humans appreciate worship to their Creator. Even though it is well known that God is
One with such worship, it turns out that there are several ethnic groups and cultures
which collaborate this divine concept with their culture or what is called the Javanese
tradition. Of the many Javanese traditions in Indonesia, the Sapta Darma and Sumarah
traditions are examples of how a Javanese culture has its own divine concept. Which
is still an interesting topic and object to study. There are several similarities between
the Sapta Darma an Sumarah traditions. As for what is the similarity between these
two schools is regarding the concept of prostration which becomes the intermediary
between the adherents and his creator. Not only in terms of the similarities found,
the author also found differences between these two schools, including regarding
how these two schools interpret divinity between perspectives, with the existence of
the Pancasila of God for example, or with other things. Not only that, regarding the
nature of God and God’s relationship with humans, in fact, these two schools have
unique definitions. Therefore, this paper aims to expand on this material in detail.
Specifically, this paper aims to explore a little how the meaning of divinity according
to the Javanese tradition in Indonesia. This study employed comparative analysis to
compare the divine concept according to the Sapta Darma and Sumarah schools. And
supported by a theological approach that is really focused on the concept of divinit

ARABICA COFFEE PRODUCTIVITY IMPROVEMENT STRATEGY WITH VALUE CHAIN ANALYSIS APPROACH (CASE STUDY: SAPAN VILLAGE, NORTH TORAJA
No full textCoffee is a farm commodity that has an important role in economic activities in Indonesia. The Indonesian coffee sector is dominated by small producers. North Toraja Regency, including in Sapan Village, is known as a producer of high quality coffee but low production. This study aims to examine the strategy of increasing coffee productivity in Sapan Village using value chain analysis. Data were collected through observation and interviews with cultivators in the value chain. This study shows that the productivity of coffee produced is still relatively low. The basic cause of low coffee productivity is that cultivation techniques are not good because information on good agriculture practices is still limited and there is a thought that the selling price of coffee is still low. To increase productivity, farmers need the role of the government. Farmers need counseling on coffee cultivation techniques that are in accordance with the application of GAP and price transparency from the government. If farmers have applied coffee cultivation techniques well, coffee productivity will increase so that farmers' income will also increase
ANALYSIS OF CONTINUOUS QUALITY IMPROVEMENT USING WASTE ASSESSMENT MODEL AND DEMING CYCLE METHOD (STUDY CASE: TAPIOCA STARCH MANUFACTURING)
No full textThis study explains what waste occurs in the manufacturing industry, where there are 7 wastes, namely excess production, waiting time, unnecessary transportation, excessive processes, excess inventory, unnecessary movements, and defective products. As a result of this waste, the company has lost an output of 46 tons in 1 semester. The purpose of this research is to find out the critical waste and the source of the waste that occurs in the manufacturing industry and then reduce the waste using the waste assessment model and the deming cycle method. The method used to identify waste is the waste assessment model. The waste assessment model consists of 2 stages, namely the waste relationship matrix to determine the relationship between waste and a waste assessment questionnaire to identify the causes of waste. The results of this study obtained critical waste from 7 wastes, namely defect waste with a percentage of 27.94% and the cause of the waste is the frequency of machine breakdowns that occur in area 2 production. It can be concluded that the critical waste in this research is defect waste that originates from engine damage in the production area and within a quarter the waste has been eliminated so that it can maximize the production process
