Indonesia’s Maritime Interest Cooperation and Capacity Building

Arsyad Rear Admiral TNI (Ret) Rosihan

Casa editrice: LPMI

Sinossi

This book is a compilation of various writings from seminars conducted by Admiral TNI (ret.) Rosihan Arsyad, which discussed various maritime problems in Indonesia, especially the South China Sea issue.

Historically, Indonesia wielded significant influence in Southeast Asia. This was made possible by the formidable maritime forces of the Sriwijaya Kingdom in the 7th century and the Majapahit Kingdom in the 12th century. During their peak, these two kingdoms were able to assert their sovereignty, power, and influence over a vast region that encompassed an area even larger than present-day Indonesia.

Several issues are simmering in the South China Sea, potentially making it another hotspot in Asia, alongside North Korea's nuclear program and the contentious relations between the People's Republic of China (PRC) and Taiwan. The South China Sea, a highly strategic maritime area, frequently attracts the attention of major powers vying for control. Lingering overlapping territorial claims further compound the situation, often posing threats to the peace and stability of the region.

The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) established in 1982 provides clear guidelines for determining a nation's maritime boundaries. However, the introduction of the new concepts of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and the Continental Shelf has made it increasingly challenging and complex to accurately define these boundaries, leading to potential ambiguity. This complexity allows for the possibility of multiple interpretations of each country's EEZ and Continental Shelf boundaries.

Two primary issues dominate the South China Sea. Firstly, the issue of overlapping sovereignty claims arose following China's assertion of significant control over the region, claiming it as part of its sovereign territory. Secondly, concerns revolve around maritime security in the South China Sea. One potential scenario involves the disruption of marine traffic, which could escalate into armed conflict due to the overlapping claims. Additionally, there are latent threats to lower-level maritime security in the region.

Our Business Civilization

James Truslow Adams

In Our Business Civilization, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian James Truslow Adams delivers a sharp and thoughtful critique of early 20th-century American society. With incisive essays first published in leading magazines of the 1920s, Adams explores how business values and the pursuit of profit came to dominate nearly every aspect of American life—shaping its ethics, culture, and intellectual priorities. He contrasts the American experience with that of Europe, where older institutions such as the aristocracy, church, and professions balanced economic ambitions with cultural depth. 
Adams raises urgent questions about materialism, the erosion of ethical standards, and the narrowing of social values in a business-dominated culture. This work remains strikingly relevant today, offering listeners a historical lens through which to consider the persistent tensions between commerce, culture, and the human spirit.

Medieval Bosnia: The Turbulent...

Editors Charles River

Much has been written about Western intervention during the breakup of Yugoslavia, and whether it made matters worse, prevented worse atrocities, or was simply ineffective. In early 1992, however, what was clear was that Europe was hopelessly divided over the best course of action to take towards Yugoslavia, and after several years of fighting, the Bosnian War was one of the most violent conflagrations in Europe since the end of World War II.  
That war had been the byproduct of centuries of tensions in the Balkans, and an attempt in the wake of World War I to redraw the political boundaries of Europe and the Middle East. That included forming the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, initially known as the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, a particularly fragile enterprise, and there was almost constant tension between the majority Serbs and the other Yugoslav nationalities, especially the Croats.  
Depending on the source, many authors have focused on different catalysts for Yugoslavia’s demise, but Vesna Drapac may have succinctly summed the situation up when he wrote that by the end, the state “lacked a reason to exist.” There is certainly something in this sentiment, but the disintegration came at an enormous cost. 
Given what happened in Yugoslavia, it should be little surprise that Bosnia did not have its fully-established borders until the 19th century, and even in modern times, in many respects the people distinguished and defined Bosnia as a polity more than its shifting borders, and regardless of whether Bosnia operated as an independent state or kingdom. It was during the Middle Ages that Bosnia’s culture and ethnic makeup truly began to coalesce, despite the politically rocky nature of the era in the Balkans.

Dear Black Girl - Letters From...

Tamara Winfrey Harris

"Dear Black Girl is the empowering, affirming love letter our girls need in order to thrive in a world that does not always protect, nurture, or celebrate us. This collection of Black women's voices... is a must-read, not only for Black girls, but for everyone who cares about Black girls, and for Black women whose inner-Black girl could use some healing." -Tarana Burke, Founder of the 'Me Too' Movement

"Dear #DopeBlackGirl,

You don't know me, but I know you. I know you because I am you! We are magic, light, and stars in the universe." So begins a letter that Tamara Winfrey-Harris received as part of her Letters to Black Girls project, where she asked black women to write honest, open, and inspiring letters of support to young black girls aged thirteen to twenty-one. Her call went viral, resulting in a hundred letters from black women around the globe. In Dear Black Girl, Winfrey-Harris introduces and organizes a selection of these letters, modeling how black women can nurture future generations. Each chapter ends with a prompt encouraging girls to write a letter to themselves, teaching the art of self-love and self-nurturing.

Winfrey-Harris's The Sisters Are Alright explores how black women must often fight and stumble their way into alrightness after adulthood. Dear Black Girl continues this work by delivering personal messages of alrightness for black women-to-be-and for the girl who still lives inside every black woman, who still needs reminding sometimes that she is alright.
