The Role of Kupang Class 1 Immigration Office in Handling Illegal Imigrants in East Nusa Tenggara

The presence of foreigners both as Illegal Immigrants or Refugees and Asylum Seekers in Indonesia has increased each year. This causes the function of immigration control and enforcement to enforce immigration law becomes very important. The Kupang Class I Immigration Office is one of the immigration technical implementing units that implements policies and technical standardization in the field of immigration in the East Nusa Tenggara. The number of immigration actions carried out by the Kupang Class I Immigration Office tends to decrease from 2010 to 2015. However, the number of actions taken is still quite high. In carrying out its duties and functions, the Kupang Class I Immigration Office encountered problems in terms of the quantity of human resources. This causes not optimal handling of illegal immigrants. This study aims to determine the role of Class I Immigration Kupang in handling illegal immigrants and forms of coordination between agencies in the province of East Nusa Tenggara. This research method is empirical legal research. The data used in this study consisted of secondary data and primary data. The results showed that in handling illegal immigrants, the Kupang Class I Immigration Office carried out four roles, namely the role of discovery, the role of shelter, the role of security and the role of immigration control. This role is not carried out independently but involves other parties such as the Police, Indonesian Army, Regional Government and so on. The form of coordination carried out by the Kupang Class I Immigration Office with other agencies involved in handling illegal immigrants is the formation of the PORA Team and the implementation of coordination meetings. It is recommended that the Immigration Office need to increase socialization to related agencies regarding Presidential Regulation Number 125 of 2016 on Handling Refugees from Overseas, making community houses under the coordination of the PORA Team.

Foreign Influences and Localization: The Evolution of Korean Music Through History

Korean music has a distinct history and characteristics that can be traced back centuries. Over the years, while Korea has maintained its cultural identity through years of struggle and oppression, its engagements with neighboring countries and foreign occupying powers have had a lasting and syncretic impact on its musical evolution. This journey has been shaped by a number of social, political, and historical factors, including national pride, extensive foreign presence through most of the twentieth century, governmental concerns over the preservation of Korean authenticity in music, the development of global music markets, and a dynamic domestic youth culture. Throughout, Korean music has been able to preserve its unique characteristics while accepting a high level of foreign musical influence. It has conquered large domestic and global audiences by generating new musical styles through a complex and divergent mix of imitation and localization of foreign influences while continuously reverting to and maintaining Korean authenticity.

PENEGAKAN HUKUM DALAM PENGAWASAN ORANG ASING DI MASA PANDEMI COVID-19

The purpose of this study is to analyze forms of immigration criminal violations committed by foreigners and law enforcement mechanisms in an effort to supervise foreigners during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study uses a normative legal research method, because this research analyzes legal materials based on concepts, theories, laws and regulations, doctrines, legal principles and the author's opinion. 
 The study findings various policy instruments and strategies were issued by General Director of Immigration to overcome the problems due to restrictions on the mobility of people, including foreigners. There are two forms of violation of the Immigration Law, namely administrative violations and pro-justice violations. This study found that the types of violations committed by foreigners include abuse of residence permits, falsification of documents and involvement in human trafficking. The Directorate General of Immigration as the authorized party to enforce immigration law takes action against violators of immigration law who commit administrative and criminal violations in accordance with applicable regulations.
 There are three recommendations from this study. First, socialization related to immigration services during the pandemic must be increased. Second, it is necessary to build synergy and coordination between Timpora, especially in detecting potential vulnerabilities in the presence and activities of foreigners in Indonesia. Third, a structured law enforcement organizational is needed which clearly and hierarchically on function, controlling, supervised of the law enforcement process. Fourth, improving the competence of immigration personnel needs to be intensified to understand the substance and technicalities, especially in mastering information technology

Foreign presence in the Southwest French countryside. Contribution of recent initiatives to the social and economic diversification of rural areas

Less studied and documented than in the cities, the presence of foreigners in the French countryside remains more discreet and often unknown today. However, new international migrations are crossing rural areas, thus adding to previous movements. In rural southwestern France, our statistical analysis, based on census data obtained from INSEE and available since 1968, reveal their spatial distribution and the process of social diversification at work. This process has led us to question contemporary rural dynamics through the prism of international migration. Whether the migrants encountered in the framework of the CAMIGRI program surveys act directly in the development of new economic and social initiatives, or contribute to their genesis and development, their presence and their point of settlement significantly interfere with the trajectory and the evolutions of certain characteristic of rural places. In the Vienne, the Dordogne and the Ariège, a cross-analysis of three recent initiatives provides food for thought on the emergence of innovative forms of rural entrepreneurship. These types of entrepreneurship have in common that they are situated in the field of arrival of foreigners in rural areas: either through a specific activity (agriculture), or through the creation of services that allow for integration, accompaniment, emergency or permanent welcome. Thus, the anchoring of foreigners, which is part of the current rural dynamics, can be seen as a real perspective of endogenous development and innovation that enhances rural resources by relying on local territorial configurations.Keywords: international migration, territorial anchorage, entrepreneurship, resource, rural

Mercenaries, Migration and the Crew of the Mary Rose

AbstractThis article reconsiders the presence of foreigners in the crew of Henry VIII's ship the Mary Rose in light of recent archaeological investigations of human remains from the wreck. Through an interdisciplinary analysis drawing on archaeological investigation, the artefacts found on board the Mary Rose and historical documents, this study investigates the context for the presence of foreigners on board the ship, considering how and why these men came to be on board an English warship during the mid‐Tudor period. Although media coverage extrapolated from recent archaeological research an image of a multicultural England, this study argues that the challenge to the narrative of Henrician England as ethnically homogenous should also be considered alongside military contexts. In particular, by framing the source material within the context of both short‐term military‐based and longer‐term patterns of migration, this study points to the importance of considering military factors, the wider picture of migration, and, in particular, the intersection between them. Furthermore, it demonstrates that Tudor England relied on foreign soldiers, trade, labour and skills. By placing the archaeological and scientific enquiries into their historical contexts, a more complete narrative of Henrician England can be formed – one that acknowledges the role of strangers and transnational relationships in the defence and maintenance of the English realm.

The Role Of Immigration Civil Servant Investigator In The Legal History Of Indonesia

To deal with the excesses of the flow of cross-border human movement, immigration is present as an apparatus in regulating the traffic of people in and out of the territory of Indonesia, monitoring the presence and activities of foreigners while in Indonesia, as well as carrying out law enforcement activities in a sustainable and intensive manner. The legal history of Indonesia records that at first the immigration crime was a general crime which later turned into a special crime. With this paradigm change, of course, the authority of the Immigration Civil Servant Investigator will change in carrying out law enforcement. The research used in the preparation of this journal is normative legal research. Normative legal research, which can also be called doctrinal legal research, usually only uses secondary data sources, namely laws and regulations, court decisions, legal theory, and the opinions of leading scholars. Analysis of the data used is normative legal analysis because the object of this research is legislation that has permanent and binding legal force. There are 3 (three) laws and regulations that mention the role of Immigration Civil Servant Investigator in conducting criminal investigations. Immigration, namely through Emergency Law Number 8 of 1955 regarding Immigration Crimes, Law Number 9 of 1992 regarding Immigration and Law Number 6 of 2011 regarding Immigration. In each period of enactment of this regulation, the role of Immigration Civil Servant Investigator in carrying out law enforcement is increasing. It is hoped that with the increase in duties and authorities, Immigration Civil Servant Investigator can become independent Investigator in investigating immigration crimes.

Manufacturing Productivity and FDI Externalities: is Small Beautiful?

The role of FDI as a vehicle for economic growth is debatable in practice. On the other hand, the size of the company and the technological groups can influence the occurrence and magnitude of FDI externalities. Thus, this article investigates the impact of firm size on the occurrence of foreign direct investment externalities in the Portuguese industry from 1995 to 2007, by technology groups, using panel data at the firm level. To this end, we estimate the TFP and regress it on a set of variables, including the foreign presence in the same sector, upstream and downstream. The results show that only (small and large) companies in scale-intensive industries; and small firms in science-based industries benefit from the positive externalities of FDI. This suggests that firm size can influence the occurrence of FDI externalities in the manufacturing sector, but only in some technology groups. Based on the results, investment policy recommendations are made.

Foreign Direct Investment in the Los Angeles Real Estate Market

The growing globalization of domestic housing markets has led to the rise of foreign investment in real estate; however, foreign investment in real estate has strong potential to impact domestic citizens. Past research alludes to foreign investment impacting housing prices, employment rates, and homelessness in varying ways depending on the affected demographic. This study utilizes data from the 2010 and 2020 U.S. Census’ to analyze how foreign investment impacts housing prices, employment rates, and homelessness rates in zip codes of the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Furthermore, a comparison is drawn between how these elements have changed in the past decade as a result of the extent of foreign presence in the area. Ultimately, this paper deduces that housing prices rise, employment and homelessness rates fall, and homelessness rates change negligibly as a result of foreign investment in the Los Angeles area.

Homes, Home Lives and Precarious Privilege: Older Western Residents and Differing Lifestyle Mobilities in Ubud, Bali

ABSTRACT This article explores later-life subjectivities and experiences of precarious privilege through the ethnographic lens of home life and the material culture of homes. Based on long-term fieldwork with older white foreigners in Ubud, Bali, I examine the role of building projects and vernacular architecture in forging moral connections across self, local culture and place-myth. These subject positions of belonging and identity are nourished yet unsettled by the growing presence of younger foreigners and modern housing forms in Ubud. I argue that experiences of privilege and precarity coexist and evolve across time, in places such as Bali that are transformed by lifestyle mobilities and tourism development. A focus on home lives and the materiality of homes hones analysis of precarious privilege towards understandings of belonging and place attachment. If distinctions between traditional homes and modern villas confirm differences within lifestyle ‘communities’, they also speak to spatialised entanglements of global and localised political economy dynamics that disrupt the privileged home lives and identity projects of ageing mobile subjects. For Western residents in Ubud, my analysis shows, precarious privilege takes the form of rising costs of living, property insecurity, a fear of crime, and uneven relationships with local domestic workers, landowners and landlords.

Analysing the Presence of Enslaved Black People in Ancient Java Society

Since the 7th century, Java has been one of the trading centres of Southeast Asia. It is recorded in an inscription in Java which contains several terms that indicate the presence of foreigners in old Javanese society, including enslaved Black people. The research questions posed include: Who are they? How did they get to Java? What was their role in Javanese society? The data used for this research are inscriptions, Chinese news sources, and contemporary literary texts. Its information was analysed and classified to determine its origin and presence in Java. The results showed that there were several enslaved Black people in Java. Based on the term used to describe them, they came from East Africa and Papua. Implicitly, the brief information shows that the existence of enslaved Black people in Java was linked to the trade conducted by Persians and people from East Indonesia. It shows that work in Java from the 7th century AD to the 15th century AD was performed with various nations. The king used the existence of enslaved Black people in Java as a way to gain spiritual "strength" from their skin colour, which was different from the Javanese society. Its belief continued until the time of the Islamic Mataram Kingdom with the presence of the Palawija courtiers, a group of disabled people who were considered a sign of the king's greatness.

The FDI Spillover Effect on the Efficiency and Productivity of Manufacturing Firms: Its Implication on Open Innovation

In this study, we investigated the effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) spillovers on firm production and technical efficiency in Indonesia’s manufacturing sector from 2010 to 2015. We scrutinized three different channels of horizontal spillover, namely, demonstration, technology adoption, and competition channels. We also captured the heterogeneous effect of firms by categorizing them based on their technological intensity (low, medium, or high). Using time-varying stochastic production frontier analysis, we found that manufacturing firms in each technological group benefit from FDI, either from productivity improvement or technical efficiency improvement. High-technology firms mainly benefit from FDI due to their high technological absorption capability. Meanwhile, medium-high and medium-low tech firms increase productivity through the demonstration effect and the technology adoption channel, despite underperforming in technical efficiency. Finally, low-tech firms, which primarily employ unskilled workers, suffer from large inefficiency. We found that increased FDI, combined with improvements in technology absorption capacity, can help revitalize the productivity of low-tech firms. FDI, firm size, and access to foreign inputs all support production effects but have no direct positive impact on firms’ technical efficiency. The results of this study suggest that the government should ensure that domestic firms can absorb the technical capability of a foreign presence. Open innovation can help strengthen foreign–domestic linkages to contribute to growth through the transfer of knowledge, skills, and technologies.

Explaining The Anti‐Immigrant Sentiment Through a Spatial Analysis: A Study of The 2019 European Elections in Italy

ABSTRACTDoes the settling of foreigners cause a rise in anti‐immigrant sentiment due to resource competition? Or do direct interactions lead to more respectful relations? And what if one also considers the settlement of foreigners in neighbouring municipalities? Applying an instrumental variable approach to variables collected at the Italian municipality level and including neighbouring areas, this paper aims to answer these questions by considering the vote for the Lega party in 2019 European parliamentary election as a proxy for the anti‐immigration sentiment. Our results point out that, once controlling for most socio‐economic variables and remoteness, a larger presence of foreigners within the municipality reduces the vote for the Lega. In contrast, the presence of immigrants in the neighbouring municipalities does not show a significant effect.

SUPERVISION OF FOREIGNERS ACCORDING TO THE IMMIGRATION LAW IN FACING POTENTIAL THREATS TO INDONESIA'S NATIONAL SECURITY

This paper aims to find out the national security threats that may occur with the presence of foreigners in Indonesia and the supervision of foreigners according to the immigration law in the face of potential national security threats in Indonesia. The writing of this paper uses a normative juridical approach, which is a method for studying theories, legal principles, and laws and regulations relevant to research. The data collection method used is literature study. The author conducted a literature study of laws and regulations, immigration journals, and books related to immigration. Data analysis uses qualitative normative data analysis techniques. The results of this study show that the potential security threat of Indonesia with foreigners is a form of transnational organized crime (TOC), such as Cyber Crime, Human Trafficking, terrorism, drug trafficking, and money laundering (Money Laundry). The form of immigration supervision that can be carried out due to the potential threat is administrative supervision and field supervision. In addition, to develop the advancement of science and technology, the existence of a Foreigner Reporting Application (APOA) is targeted at hotel or lodging management to provide their access waivers. APOA serves to provide reports regarding the presence of foreigners to the local immigration office. Another form of immigration supervision is the presence of the TIMPORA ForeignEr Supervision Team assigned with the aim of supervising and cracking down on foreign nationals in indonesia's administrative regions

Расширение присутствия КНР и РФ в Латинской Америке как вызов американским интересам

Introduction. The Trump administration defined China and Russia as a “revisionist powers”, which challenge to American power, influence and interests. Such a perception affected the U.S. policy in Latin America. Major alarmist sentiments come from the U.S. military, which regularly notes the growth of foreign presence in the region. Methods and materials. The author conducted a critical analysis of Chinese and Russian footprint aspects in Latin America, which cause U.S. establishment concerns. Information was gathered from doctrinal documents, economic statistics and indicators of arms exports. Analysis. President Trump administration hasn’t created a credible barrier against the rise of foreign influence in this region. The causes lie in the specifics of the current U.S. foreign policy, which lacks positive incentives and representativeness. As a result, foreign influence is constrained by three main factors. First, the investment climate in Latin America continues to deteriorate. Second, most governments of the Latin American countries don`t intend to spoil relations with the United States. Thirdly, today there are no alternatives to the United States in the military-strategic aspect. Results. Washington involuntarily promotes expanding and strengthening of other world powers’ footprint in Latin America. It happens not just because of Trump administrations’ protectionism and its skepticism about multilateral formats. Latin American continue to be considered in the context of Monroe Doctrine. American establishment doesn’t seek to invest its political capital in expanding the U.S. influence in the region. That’s why a high level of representativeness in promoting initiatives and new formats of cooperation has become an advantage of foreign actors.

Palliative Care Needs Assessment in the Population Living in Mayotte: SPMAYOTTE, a Qualitative Study Conducted with 62 Patients, Caregivers and Healthcare Professionals.

Background/Aim: Mayotte is a French island in the Indian Ocean. There is no palliative care structure in this territory. The island and its population have specific characteristics: insularity, poverty, coexistence of modern and traditional medicine, importance of religion (Islam) and the presence of many foreigners without health insurance. The aim of this study is to determine the palliative care needs of the Mayotte population and propose the establishment of an appropriate service. Methods: A qualitative study was conducted in Mayotte using interviews with patients and their caregivers, and focus groups were conducted with healthcare professionals involved in their care. Patients requiring palliative care were identified and recruited from the hospital or the patient’s home by healthcare professionals. Results: A total of 62 people participated in the study between May and June 2019. The needs expressed were analysed and then grouped into categories: access to medical care (especially at home), management of physical symptoms (analgesia) and psychological symptoms, organisation of care (coordination between healthcare professionals) and training of healthcare professionals (pain management, palliative care, interculturality and translation), taking into account cultural and religious aspects. Regarding the foreign population, the categories were: improving access to healthcare, access to the social protection system and daily living conditions (transport, food and accommodation). Conclusions: The specific needs of the population, assessed through the study, have led to an original proposal, which differs from the usual structures of palliative care in France.

The influence of COVID-19 pandemic on migratory flows towards Italy and on integration paths of immigrants

The text describes the effects of the pandemic on the dynamics of migration flows from abroad to Italy in 2020. The composition and demographic structure of the population of foreign origin are described in order to understand which areas of immigration and integration are most affected by the pandemic.It has been observed that, although the downward trend in migration flows predates the spread of COVID-19, the pandemic has led to a drastic decrease in migration flows towards our country, where a stable foreign presence has settled over the years. The transformation of Italy into a country of stable integration is also witnessed by the growing number of foreigners who become Italian through the acquisition of citizenship, a process that not even the pandemic has slowed down. Instead, the possible effects of the pandemic on economic and labour integration and inclusion, particularly of the many children and young people of foreign origin living in our country, are worrying.

The Russian Empire Policy on the Formation of Population in the Leased from China Territories (1896—1917)

The leased territories status within Russian Empire in the late XIX – early XX centuries had exclusion zone of CER (concession) and Kwantung Leased Territory (international lease). Despite the differences in the legal status, Russia looked at these territories as part of itself, mastering them in such a way as to create conditions for the consolidation of «Yellow Russia» to political space of the empire. Most important role in this process was played by formation of population and creation of conditions for its life and activities in these territories. A number of factors influenced on formation of population at leased territories. First of all, it was sovereign territory of China, which meant Chinese population continued to live on these territories after Russia leased it. Key problem was that Chinese had a negative attitude to presence of any foreigners in Middle Kingdom, they did not want to obey alien administration. The second factor was presence of foreigners – representatives of European states. Many of them (especially subjects of Great powers of Europe) perceived Russian presence in China as competition and a threat to interests of their states and willingly participated in actions aimed at weakening Russia's position. The third factor was related with remoteness of leased territories from populated (and overpopulated) European center of Russia. In immediate vicinity were territories of Siberia and Russian Far East, where «Russian element» was not enough, the population was small. It was difficult to use demographic resource of nearest Russian territories for settlement of «Yellow Russia». This factor was connected with peculiarities of national and religious policy of the empire, which did not want to see marginal and stigmatized ethnic and religious groups in leased territories. All these factors required special political measures, in which the rational and expedient were intertwined with ideological and political, not always subordinated to pragmatic.

The scientific and practical significance of the results obtained consists in supplementing the theoretical base of research and the high applicability of the results obtained in the practical activities of companies with strategic priorities focused on expanding their foreign presence.

Does Multinationals Entry Mode Affect Local Firms’ Export Behaviours? Evidence from Cameroon

This study verifies whether foreign presence namely Greenfield and Joint venture reduce or push up local firms’ exports behaviours using the Heckman sample selection model pooled over a survey firm-level panel data in Cameroon during 2006-2016 provided by the World Bank. we found that (i) Joint venture activities have more significant positive impact on Cameroonian export behaviours than greenfield affiliate; and (ii) such externalities are heterogeneous and depend on Cameroonian firm-level characteristics. Firm size, and firm age are found to have significantly positive impacts on the joint venture export externalities magnitude, while access land and financing and transport-related obstacles exert significant negative impacts on their side. Only the transport obstacle has a statistically significant negative effect on the greenfield export spillovers magnitude. Our findings present significant implications for policy makers seeking to help domestic firms benefit more from foreign-linked export spillovers such as promoting export-oriented joint venture and reducing obstacles related to accessing land and financing formalities and less complex appropriate customs measures.
