End of Cold War links politics with economics<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): The end of the Cold War in 1991 has changed the
\nbasic thinking, calculations, international relationships and
\ndiplomacy, a political scientist stated.<\/p>\n
Dr. Jowono Sudarsono, former dean of the School of Social and
\nPolitical Sciences of the University of Indonesia, said in
\nBandung over the weekend that the Cold War had been dominated by
\nthe rivalry between Moscow and Washington -- with their
\nrespective allies. The heated political climate placed everyone
\nunder the threat of war.<\/p>\n
Speaking at a one-day seminar sponsored by alumni of the Air
\nForce Command and Staff College, Juwono said that since the
\ncollapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 the world's attention has
\nbeen mainly focused on economic problems.<\/p>\n
\"Now we see economic rivalries between industrialized nations,
\nbetween advanced and developing countries and between the
\ndeveloping countries themselves,\" he said as quoted by Antara.<\/p>\n
The political science professor said that studying
\ninternational problems today involves examination of political,
\neconomic and strategic fields.<\/p>\n
Juwono added that politics and strategy have always played an
\nimportant role. He said that all economic and business activities
\nare inseparable from national stability, politics and security.<\/p>\n
According to Juwono, political development and strategic
\nissues have become fundamental elements for multi-national
\ncompanies when deciding on investment policies.<\/p>\n
Population and security have also become important elements in
\nmaking production, marketing and financing decisions, he said.<\/p>\n
Juwono said that Indonesia needs to continuously study ways to
\nconnect economic development planning with international
\nrelations.<\/p>\n
\"This connection is important now that economic development
\nplanning and national resilience is inseparable from the outside
\nworld,\" Juwono said. (tis)<\/p>",
