ASEAN Economic Community has been entered into force in December 31st, 2015. A free labour movement is one of major agendas to support the establishment of ASEAN as a single market and production base of ASEAN. This agenda becomes a hot debate since it can be an opportunity or threat for Indonesia. In fact, most of Indonesian people view it as a threat for Indonesia. On the contrary to that view, this research takes a clear position to support that a free labour movement is not a threat for Indonesia.

Abstract In the ASEAN Economic Community blueprint 2015 the term “single market” was used as a goal of economic community. Theoretically, single market is a level of economic integration after customs union. Under that blueprint, customs union could have a chance to be established as a necessary prerequisite for single market. However, the new blueprint 2025 does not adopt single market concept anymore. Different terms have been introduced namely “integrated and cohesive economy” and “unified market”. This article aims at assessing economic integration concept adopted in the ASEAN Economic Community blueprint by utilizing content analysis. It will review the change of concept by employing economic integration theory in order to indicate the direction of economic community goal. The finding is that the change of terms reflects the change of concept. As a result, ASEAN Economic Community will have a different direction in pursuing economic integration. Therefore, under the new blueprint ASEAN will not proceed to customs union and single market. However, it will remain at free trade area level of economic integration. In addition, ASEAN will not be a close trade block but tend to be an open regionalism in relation to non-ASEAN countries or regions. Keywords: ASEAN Economic Community, Customs Union, Single Market, Economic Integration, Open Regionalism.

This research attempts to analyze the effects of the economic integration of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) which was implemented since 2015. The impact analyzed is focused on investments made in Indonesia, both investments made by foreign investors and domestic investors. Another thing that was also highlighted in this study was the flow of exports and imports. This was also investigated because one of the policies contained in the agreement of the ASEAN economic community was the elimination of international trade barriers. In addition to the two things above, researchers also analyzed the influence of the ASEAN economic community on the use oflabor in Indonesia. The data analyzed in this study are secondary data obtained from the relevant agencies. The method used in this study is a different sample pair test. This method is used because the research conducted is comparing the conditions of investment, export-import and use of labor in Indonesia before and after the economic integration of the ASEAN Economic Community. At the end of this study, researchers will provide recommendations to the government regarding what should be done by the government to optimize investment activities, exports and use of local labor in Indonesia.

This study is aimed to provide an evaluation of banking performance in ASEAN given the inclusion of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) which is associated with an increase in potential systemic risk. Some of the main findings in this study are: (a) the increase in systemic risk is influenced by the increase in risk on asset quality as seen from the increase in the percentage of non-performing loans; (b) bank liquidity has a significant positive effect on increasing systemic risk; (c) banks with large capital can exert influence over increased systemic risk (in a 90% confidence level but here we use 95% confidence level). The government is expected to be able to mitigate the increase in potential systemic risks, especially after the integration of free trade in ASEAN.

This study was conducted in North Sumatra and South Sulawesi provinces. The study revealed an opportunity for coffee and cocoa to increase their market in the RCEP region but only with its high quality. Coffee and cocoa should be well prepared with significant, integrative, and comprehensive improvement.

This article reports the results of a study on how to fill the free market program of ASEAN Economic Community (AEC). Indonesia has significant demographic bonus when compared to other ASEAN countries, so that specifically Indonesia will become an easy target for economic activity (read: free market flow transactions) carried out by all members of ASEAN. Demographic bonus is an opportunity and challenge for the Indonesian people, both for those who live in cities or in the countryside. This condition will be more complicated, if the mapping potential of the population does not become a serious concern for the government and stakeholders so that the people of Indonesia will become the largest consumer for products of ASEAN countries. One of the potential populations of Indonesia is women, because they have specific skills that are able to be directed towards an income. The purpose of this study is to prepare the people of Indonesia who have the skills, especially women in entering the AEC both urban and rural communities. This study uses a qualitative method of observation, interviews and review of documents, such as books, newspapers and others.

The method used is to provide socialization, legal counseling and mentoring of trademark rights and copyright. The results of the counseling revealed that the community's legal awareness of copyright and brand rights is still low therefore there needs to be legal protection measures for SMEs in Kuningan Regency. Therefore carried out socialization and legal counseling to SMEs in Kuningan Regency, regarding Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) especially about the importance of protecting the brand and reputation of the company by registering the trademark or patent rights in accordance with the mechanism of the Act. Legal protection must be done because the Copyright Act and Trademark rights regulate that registration of trademark rights uses the First To File system instead of the First To Inventory, meaning that who first registers will be served and protected by the law.Keywords: Legal Protection, Trademark Rights, Copyright�AbstrakKeberadaan UKM di Kabupaten Kuningan sangat beragam tidak saja dalam bentuk makanan-makanan tradisional khas Kuningan tapi juga tersebar dalam berbagai usaha kreatif.

In 2015, Indonesia and other ASEAN members have a commitment to establish a single market region, i.e. free flow of goods and service, termed ASEAN Economic Community (hereinafter ‘AEC’). This arrangement is contrary to Most Favored Nation (MFN) principle under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994, (hereinafter ‘GATT’). This paper aims to address the said violation according to the WTO/GATT law by analyzing (1) the general obligations and exceptions under the WTO/GATT, (2) regionalism in general and its existence in Southeast Asia, and (3) the interpretation of WTO’s compromise to regionalism. Under the GATT, there is a general obligation for members to treat their trading partners equally and give the same benefits to other members. However, there is an exception to this principle under article XXIV of the GATT, which based on the notion that regional trade agreements are a building block for multilateral openness. Yet, before applying this exception to the case at hand, AEC’s form must be determined. AEC’ has a structure of Free-Trade Area (hereinafter ‘FTA’) with a single market adhere to it, which according to WTO’s database there is one in force at the moment, namely ASEAN Free Trade Area (hereinafter ‘AFTA’). AFTA is not the equivalent to AEC because it covers more than just goods. Thus, the answer to apply the exception to AEC is inconclusive because even though it fits normatively, it does not have the necessary legitimacy.
