Quasi-Vertical Integration Model In Partnership Of Smes (Small Medium Enterprises) And The Role Of Competition Commission In Eu And Indonesia, Yayan Hernayanto, Kurnia Toha, Udin Silalahi

Indonesia Law Review

Partnerships between large and small companies should not be imagined as David and Goliath, enemies of each other. However, partnerships between large and small business actors are a mutually beneficial synergy. Partnerships with Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are not charity activities that prevent them from growing strongly. Guidance and assistance need to be provided so that they grow with a strong foundation. Both parties must agree to a fair transaction scheme, trade terms, and clauses that sustain this partnership and not cause SMEs to go bankrupt. Quasi-Vertical Integration is a model for conducting transactions in the manufacturing industry. This …

Exclusion Within Inclusive Education Policy: The Challenges Facing Urban Refugees In Accessing Education In Thailand, Mst Umme Habiba Fahmina Karim Dr.

Indonesia Law Review

Despite Thailand’s adoption of the Education for All policy in 2005, which grants all children, including refugees, access to free public education, refugee children largely remain excluded. Camp-based refugees attend informal, unrecognized education programs, while urban refugee children are categorised with migrant children in enrollment data. In 2023, only 34% of legal migrant children were enrolled in public schools, while refugees—often classified as "illegal migrants"—are either left out or attend unofficial community schools. This study examines the gap between policy and practice by exploring the experiences of urban refugees and perspectives of key stakeholders, including refugees, government agencies, and humanitarian …

International Economic Agreements As Impediments To Carbon Tax Climate Change Mitigation: Is The Un Framework Tax Convention The Way Forward?, Edwin Vanderbruggen

Indian Journal of International Economic Law

This article outlines some of the international legal impediments to domestic environmental tax policies in furtherance of climate change mitigation, i.e. certain WTO rules on trade in goods, fuel tax exemptions in aviation treaties, and tax stabilisation provisions that are protected under the umbrella clause of investment treaties. It argues that international action is the most effective and often the only option to address those legal obstacles. The emergence of the United Nations Framework Convention on International Tax Cooperation (‘FTC’) is, in that regard, a timely development. Given the central institutional role UN-related bodies already have in climate change, sea …
