This article aims to describe the urgency of critical studies concerning the regulation of foreign workers by exploring existing legal problems with national commitments to ratify international agreements regarding free trade, with a case study in Indonesia. By using normative and juridical approach with a variety of approaches both the law approach, conceptual approach, case approach and comparative approach, the study found that the regulation there is an inconsistency clause regarding special competencies that must be owned by foreign workers, including the selection and use of terminology in Act No. 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower. Thus, this study offers a constitutional solution due to the regulation of the subordinate foreign workers on international trade commitments which in turn negate the constitutional goals of creating the welfare of domestic workers. The normative consequences that immediately bind Indonesia after integrating itself in the World Trade Organization (WTO) membership are services trade agreements that are contained in the regulations of the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS).

  • The Migration Phenomenon in East Asia: Towards a Theological Response from God's People As a Host Community
    The migration phenomenon in East Asia: Towards a theological response from God's people as a host community [Published by Regnum in 2015 as: Theologising Migration: Otherness and Liminality in East Asia] Paul Woods This dissertation is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Theology) of AGST Alliance 2012 I declare that this dissertation is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a qualification at any tertiary education institution. Paul Woods.................................................................................... Abstract This dissertation works towards a theological response from the East Asian church to intra-regional migration. It provides an introduction to migration theory and the experiences of people on the move, as the basis of a theological reflection. Migration is a significant part of modern life, and the Asian church has begun to respond and reach out to migrants. However, this concern for the Other (someone different and distinct from oneself) is patchy and lacks robust theological foundations. Migration brings those in the host countries face to face with racial and social Others, who may face ill-treatment and exploitation, to which the church is sometimes perceived as indifferent. The principal motifs employed in the work are Otherness and liminality. Through these, this research explores the commandments in the Pentateuch which require fair treatment of the alien in Israel. A similar approach is applied to Christ’s life and teaching and the example of the early church in the New Testament. The same motifs of Otherness and liminality are used to examine the status of God’s followers before Him and other nations.

  • Religious Specificities in the Early Sultanate of Banten
    Religious Specificities in the Early Sultanate of Banten (Western Java, Indonesia) Gabriel Facal Abstract: This article examines the religious specificities of Banten during the early Islamizing of the region. The main characteristics of this process reside in a link between commerce and Muslim networks, a strong cosmopolitism, a variety of the Islam practices, the large number of brotherhoods’ followers and the popularity of esoteric practices. These specificities implicate that the Islamizing of the region was very progressive within period of time and the processes of conversion also generated inter-influence with local religious practices and cosmologies. As a consequence, the widespread assertion that Banten is a bastion of religious orthodoxy and the image the region suffers today as hosting bases of rigorist movements may be nuanced by the variety of the forms that Islam took through history. The dominant media- centered perspective also eludes the fact that cohabitation between religion and ritual initiation still composes the authority structure. This article aims to contribute to the knowledge of this phenomenon. Keywords: Islam, Banten, sultanate, initiation, commerce, cosmopolitism, brotherhoods. 1 Banten is well-known by historians to have been, during the Dutch colonial period at the XIXth century, a region where the observance of religious duties, like charity (zakat) and the pilgrimage to Mecca (hajj), was stronger than elsewhere in Java1. In the Indonesian popular vision, it is also considered to have been a stronghold against the Dutch occupation, and the Bantenese have the reputation to be rougher than their neighbors, that is the Sundanese. This image is mainly linked to the extended practice of local martial arts (penca) and invulnerability (debus) which are widespread and still transmitted in a number of Islamic boarding schools (pesantren).

    Religious Specificities in the Early Sultanate of Banten (Western Java, Indonesia) Gabriel Facal Université de Provence, Marseille. Abstrak Artikel ini membahas kekhasan agama di Banten pada masa awal Islamisasi di wilayah tersebut. Karakteristik utama dari proses Islamisasi Banten terletak pada hubungan antara perdagangan dengan jaringan Muslim, kosmopolitanisme yang kuat, keragaman praktek keislaman, besarnya pengikut persaudaraan dan maraknya praktik esotoris. Kekhasan ini menunjukkan bahwa proses Islamisasi Banten sangat cepat dari sisi waktu dan perpindahan agama/konversi yang terjadi merupakan hasil dari proses saling mempengaruhi antara Islam, agama lokal, dan kosmologi. Akibatnya, muncul anggapan bahwa Banten merupakan benteng ortodoksi agama. Kesan yang muncul saat ini adalah bahwa Banten sebagai basis gerakan rigoris/radikal dipengaruhi oleh bentuk-bentuk keislaman yang tumbuh dalam sejarah. Dominasi pandangan media juga menampik kenyataan bahwa persandingan antara agama dan ritual masih membentuk struktur kekuasaan. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk berkontribusi dalam diskusi akademik terkait fenomena tersebut. Abstract The author examines the religious specifics of Banten during the early Islamizing of the region.

  • The Temporary Foreign Worker Program in Canada: Low-Skilled Workers As an Extreme Form of Flexible Labor
    FUDGE&MACPHAILARTICLE31-1.DOCX 10/13/2009 4:51 PM THE TEMPORARY FOREIGN WORKER PROGRAM IN CANADA: LOW-SKILLED WORKERS AS AN EXTREME FORM OF FLEXIBLE LABOR Judy Fudge† and Fiona MacPhail†† I. INTRODUCTION The Canadian federal government is promoting temporary foreign migration for economic reasons and specifically to promote economic growth.1 In The Budget Plan 2007, the federal government characterized the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) as its “principal tool to help employers meet immediate skill requirements when qualified Canadian workers cannot be found.”2 It also recognized the regional nature of the program; “in the Alberta oil sands and the construction sector in British Columbia, the program has become increasingly important for businesses in their efforts to remain competitive in Canada’s booming economy.”3 The federal government also promised improvements to the program that would make it easier for employers to access temporary migrant workers but that would also “not result in reduced employment opportunities for Canadians.”4 The federal government’s focus on the needs of employers in Canada and the Canadian labor market is reflected in Canada’s treatment of the international instruments regarding migrant workers. Like most receiving countries, Canada has not ratified the instruments that provide rights for † Professor and Lansdowne Chair, Faculty of Law, University of Victoria, Canada. †† Associate Professor, Department of Economics, University of North British Columbia, Canada.

  • Title Protecting and Assisting Refugees and Asylum-Seekers in Malaysia
    Title Protecting and assisting refugees and asylum-seekers in Malaysia : the role of the UNHCR, informal mechanisms, and the 'Humanitarian exception' Sub Title Author Lego, Jera Beah H. Publisher Global Center of Excellence Center of Governance for Civil Society, Keio University Publication year 2012 Jtitle Journal of political science and sociology No.17 (2012. 10) ,p.75- 99 Abstract This paper problematizes Malaysia's apparently contradictory policies – harsh immigration rules applied to refugees and asylum seekers on the one hand, and the continued presence and functioning of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) on the other hand. It asks how it has been possible to protect and assist refugees and asylum seekers in light of such policies and how such protection and assistance is implemented, justified, and maintained. Giorgio Agamben's concept of the state of exception is employed in analyzing the possibility of refugee protection and assistance amidst an otherwise hostile immigration regime and in understanding the nature of juridical indeterminacy in which refugees and asylum seekers in Malaysia inhabit. I also argue that the exception for refugees in Malaysia is a particular kind of exception, that is, a 'humanitarian exception.' Insofar as the state of exception is decided on by the sovereign, in Carl Schmitt's famous formulation, I argue that it is precisely in the application of 'humanitarian exception' for refugees and asylum seekers that the Malaysian state is asserting its sovereignty. As for the protection and assistance to refugees and asylum seekers, it remains an exception to the rule. In other words, it is temporary, partial, and all together insufficient for the preservation of the dignity of refugees and asylum seekers.
