How to Keep Up with The Swift Currents of Globalization

A few years ago, President Joko Widodo said that the rivalry between nations is becoming more intense. In his remarks, President Joko Widodo emphasized the necessity of fostering a competitive environment. The President warned us that the global economy would undergo a fundamental shift in the near future. Even global political and socioeconomic connections have shifted. According to the President, the adage no longer holds true when it comes to large nations defeating smaller ones. Countries that are sluggish, on the other hand, will be left behind by those who are quick. The President’s instruction basically tells us how to move and operate fast and intelligently in the middle of a folding globe.

One way that Indonesia can keep up with the rapid pace of globalization, according to the President’s mandate, is via the Village Law. As a result, Nawacita, Indonesia’s President Joko Widodo’s Nawacita, welcomed him with a rousing applause. As a result, the Village Law’s dynamic force may be used to construct Indonesia’s empowerment and sovereignty from the village. When Indonesia’s Village Law came into effect, the dust of centralized and decentralized Indonesian developmentism was lifted off Indonesia’s villages.

The New Order’s 32-year policy of centralized administration of national development was only able to benefit the areas that were near to power and the economic center of growth. In addition, the development does not extend to rural locations, let alone communities. Later, the idea of centralization was replaced by decentralization in 2000. Since fiscal management of development has been fragmented and regionalized, it has not been successful in raising welfare, particularly in the countryside. It is now time for Indonesia’s villages to show that they are capable of “Building Indonesia” when the Village Law placed national development in their hands. We’re back in the village, and things are looking up.

The economy is one area where global rivalry is expected to intensify in the future. For the sake of the country’s economy, the Village Law has infused communities with a tremendous amount of dynamism. As a result of these efforts, villages have the ability to take charge of their natural resources and use them to the benefit of their residents. The capacity of the village to develop local economic institutions capable of producing economic commodities on a big scale, as well as boosting the competitiveness of selling their products to the global trade stage, is of course essential to this more harsh economic rivalry.

The town is rich in raw resources, but why are we always inundated with commercial goods from other nations? An important factor is that we innovate at every stage of the economic production chain with regard to the management of “speed” and “acceleration”. Our goal is to continue to engage with villages in Indonesia on translating the Village Law into a strategic policy framework so that it may be used as a guide for implementing priority programs that will help achieve our country’s goals of building Indonesia from a village.

Rural EKOnomics II may be able to show the ministry’s performance and what looks to be a really honest depiction of data. However, we feel that a really noble evaluation of our work in the development of the village remains in the hands of the community and the community. As a result, I encourage all readers to continue to be critical of our performance in implementing the Village Law and to continue to give us with criticism. So, thank you and have a great time reading.
