Indonesia’s G20 presidency: neoliberal policy and authoritarian tendencies

Abstract: ABSTRACT Multilateralism at the regional and global stage is essential for Indonesia’s foreign policy. Apart from ASEAN, which has long been a pivotal array for Indonesia’s regional economic interdependence and political stability, the G20 is recently added to the country’s interest. It serves Indonesia’s desire for global leadership and middle-power status. As Indonesia began its year-long presidency of the G20 in 2022, the government is confident that hosting numerous meetings and the Group’s summit at the end of 2022 is a notable milestone for its international leadership exposure. This time, Indonesia’s President Joko Widodo emphasises priority agendas: strengthening global health architecture, transitioning to green and renewable energy, and promoting the digital economy. This commentary evaluates and projects Indonesia’s G20 presidency amidst the country’s democratic decline in recent years. It argues that Indonesia’s proposed agendas are more ambitious goals than strategic. Instead, the country’s priority will be marked by a solid neoliberal economic policy and stability, which is likely to cause even more democratic setbacks at home.

Black Market to Blue Chip:The Futures of the Cannabis Industry in Canada

Abstract: The world is changing its mind on cannabis, and we are not in the same world we were in 1923 when Canada first made marijuana illegal to smoke Culture, technology, knowledge, and people have changed We have a lot more research, seen first-hand how cannabis can help and hurt people, and heard other’s similar and different stories How do we apply what we’ve learned about strategy, business, and design to turn a prohibition policy into a regulatory framework? Legalization of cannabis in Canada has been delayed to after August, if all things go smoothly and there are no additional setbacks Legalization creates a unique opportunity for Canada to become a global leader in innovation, policy, research, and regulation While there will be many changes happening simultaneously in the future, the principle domains of inquiry for this research project will be understanding the systems connections and impact of scientific research, technological innovation, regulatory frameworks, short- and long-term economic growth strategies, agricultural and environmental regulations, and cultural change strategies on the possible futures of the cannabis industry in Canada Designing the policy that will create the boundaries for such a complex system means that we need to know all the different moving parts By understanding the current environmental context and the changes in these systems, a greater understanding of the complexity of connections and the different future scenarios of cannabis legalization can be achieved These scenarios will provide policy makers, educators, and entrepreneurs with plausible futures that they can use to develop and test drive short- and long-term strategies through, in hopes of turning Canada into a global leader in cannabis and policy innovation The Government of Canada assembled a Taskforce to advise the government on how best to move forward Within their report, the taskforce identified nine public policy objectives It’s safe to say that any system that has nine policy objectives is not a simple task and that solution will not happen overnight In order to protect Canada’s youth from the black market, a system that is accessible, resilient, sustainable, and profitable must take its place If it is not accessible, people will go back to the black market If it is not resilient or sustainable, it will not outpace the black market If it is not profitable, it will not attract participants that are willing to be regulated If we do not eradicate the black market, they will continue to sell to youth Canada should be considering more than two goals, reducing underage access and keeping profits out of the hands of criminals, by casting a wider set of goals that cover more of the legalization ecosystem By putting environmental restrictions and constraints around cannabis production, Canada can push for innovation in a nascent market Cannabis agri-tech innovations could then be applied to broader social issues such as food insecurity and climate change In short, Canada needs to be more ambitious and consider that they are not simply legalizing a plant They have the opportunity to take a resilient underground market and flip it into an innovation powerhouse

Green Products in India as the Commitment towards SDGs: Initiatives, Prospects and Challenges

Abstract: The global population is ignited to achieve the seventeen-goal agenda as mutually agreed at Paris Climate Conference (COP21). All the member countries have committed to achieve UN-SDGs by 2030. The global communities are now at the cross roads where they are expected to develop and deliver high configuration products to solve the complex problems and at the same time the global fraternity is very much concerned on the environmental issues. It is difficult to undermine any of this conflicting criteria green services, green manufacturing etc. have become the ultimate resultant solution. In fact green product is indeed a philosophy where we aim to minimize the adverse effect on environment without compromising the aspirations towards development vector. It is alarming that the natural resources are decreasing day by day and the human societies and other living organization are on the verge of extension if we do not stop massive exploitation of virgin resources. The global community is thriving towards renewable and reversible resources. The concept of circular economy has been emerging across the globe. It is high time to study and understand the status and preparedness of developing nations like India towards adapting green culture in the production and consumption pattern. The spirit of sustainability has been given top priority in all facets of developmental model. This paper has studied the scope of green products its initiatives and inherent challenges in Indian context. The study is based on secondary information retrieved from various reliable sources. This study has also enlightened how the global leadership has been excelling to promote green product within the state and beyond. This research work has suggested the state could boost momentum to the green product movements in India using positive reinforcement model instead of confining to negative reinforcement connotations.
