Call for Paper (CFP)

Toward a Better Future: Embracing Opportunities and Overcoming Challenges
in Social, Economic and Political Change in Indonesia.

2014 is a big year for Indonesians due to the presidential election and the
expected changes in a range of different sectors from politics, education,
poverty alleviation and others. Sixteen years after the reform movement,
Indonesians experienced social change. However, a significant economic
development in the country has not strongly influenced the social condition
of many Indonesians. The 2013 Indonesia Focus Conference indicated that
there is a strong growing trend shown in the last ten years, but the
economic state of Indonesia is still behind many neighboring countries.
Human Development Index shows that Indonesia's scores in several aspects of
human quality and social infrastructure are the lowest among other Asian
countries.

The conference aims to identify challenges that Indonesia has faced for the
last few years from the perspectives of human development as well as
social, economic and political sectors. In this conference, focus will be
given to discuss not only challenges, but more importantly identifications
of existing or possible opportunities that the country can pursue for the
greater good. Discussion and research presentations from a wide range of
disciplinary areas are expected to produce ideas, suggestions, and more
importantly recommendations on how to strengthen these positive factors in
the near future in Indonesia.

The conference welcomes papers, especially in the area of:

- Politics and International Relations
- Social and Economy
- Communications, Media and Technology
- Education and Culture
- Science and Engineering

Below are some explanations for each theme:

Politics and International Relations

Under the current administration, Indonesia has made great economic
development by about 5.5% to 6.5% every year from 2004 to 2014, except in
2008 when there was a great recession across the world. Indonesia also has
been making a great stride to reach Millennium Development Goal (MGD) by
reducing the number of people living in poverty – from 20.6% in 1990 to
11.9% in 2012 - providing universal elementary education for children and
reducing infant mortality from 68 per 1,000 births in 1991 to 34 in 2007.

The 2014 election will create a mark in Indonesian political change, which
can be in the form new presidency and different political system that can
create an impact not only to Indonesians but also to people around the
world. The conference encourages papers discussing the current political
system as well as future change that might happen in terms of politics,
social programs and international relations. Paper highlighting challenges
in Indonesian politics and opportunities to create better relation with
other countries are highly encouraged. Other topics related to politics and
international relations are also welcome.

Social and Economy

The conference welcomes, among others, papers analyzing social and economic
development practices applied in Indonesia such as microfinance, the role
of religion, the role of informal sectors, as well as papers that look into
patterns and trends of factors affecting social and economic conditions
such as population aging, general demographic changes, rural-urban
migration and rapid urbanization, improvement in health and educational
attainment, etc. The conference encourages submission of papers that
examine changes in the Indonesian social and economic characteristics after
the financial crisis and how they affect the country now or in the near
future, how well Indonesia is integrating itself into the international
world through not only exports and imports, but also the advancement in the
financial/stock market as well as more open policies toward foreign
investments, etc. The conference also encourages papers that address the
contribution of human and social capital in the development of the
Indonesian social and economic system.

Communication, Media, Technology

The Communication, Media, Technology focuses on original scientific
research about the roles of communications, media and technology in
identifying challenges in this area in Indonesia. Communication, Media and
technology also have provided opportunities to voice changes and ideas for
improvements and a better life. The division is looking for research areas
that include access to media, audience research, popularity of television
shows in Indonesia, advancement in technology and impacts of technology and
media to people at large. Interdisciplinary areas of research that combine
media, communication with topics such as politics, psychology, business and
other are also encouraged especially those that relate to the conference
theme. Other areas of research in this division include new media, social
media, computer-mediated communication and mobile communication.

Education and Culture

The committee specifically welcomes papers that analyze: 1) political
education development with emphasis on understanding political and economic
trends as well as political choices in the society; 2) early childhood
education with emphasis on the importance of early childhood development on
future successes; 3) development of rural and urban education model as
resources, constraints, and objectives for urban and rural education are
distinct; 4) indigenous education and its sustainability as Indonesia
consists of many indigenous communities and each has distinct values and
knowledge; 5) development of education quality in developing countries, for
example local government expenditure on education, student and teacher
ratio, teachers' education, and learning methods; 6) development of
education and industry linkage, with emphasis on coordination between
competencies building in schooling and the needs of industries. The
conference committee also welcomes other topics in relation to education
and culture.

Science and Engineering

Global warming and poverty eradication are two global interest discussed
during the World Economic Forum in Davos last fall. The United Nations
Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon, have challenged heads of nations, political
and business leaders, as well as community leaders to work together toward
global low-carbon economy. As a nation with large deposit of green energy
resources such as solar, wind, tidal wave, and geothermal, Indonesia must
contribute in helping to reduce carbon emission and pollution, particularly
by industry and transportation. Indonesia should view this US challenges as
a way to improve the advancement of science, technology, and engineering of
the nation through research and development programs. This is necessary
looking at the total research expenditure of Indonesia has reached a record
high of merely 0.08% of the GDP in 2009, comparable to Saudi Arabia and
Iraq, but lower than Malaysia of 1.01% and Turkey of 0.85% and much lower
than the top expenditure by Israel of 4.5%.

The conference invites papers that discuss challenges and opportunities for
the efforts toward advancing engineering and technology in Indonesia.
Topics will include but not limited to analysis of the social, economic and
political impact stem from the research and development expenditures
fluctuation as the percentage of the GDP and Efforts on how government and
private programs can boost the high tech export; invite high tech venture
capital to be invested in Indonesia; inspire high tech expatriate
Indonesian to go back to work and invest in Indonesia; embolden Indonesian
start up to go international; and other program that will benefit Indonesia
research and development in general. Topics related to challenges and
opportunities for sustainable green technology with economic incentives and
other related topics in science and engineering are also welcomed.
