IntroductionOne of the WHO’s ‘best buys’ in controlling non-communicable diseases and their risk factors is to impose health taxes. While the Indonesian political process inhibits the implementation of health tax policy, studies to discuss the issue remain limited.MethodsWe employed media analysis to document health tax policy dynamics, for example, the changes in policy timeline and key actors’ statements. We conducted an article search in the Open-Source Intelligence database using appropriate terminology on three commodities, for example, tobacco, alcoholic beverages and sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB).ResultsThroughout the 15 years of implementation (2007–2022), tobacco has received the most policy attention compared with the other two commodities. This is mainly related to the increasing tariff and reforming the tax structure. As Indonesia is a Muslim-majority country, alcohol consumption is low, and a tax on alcoholic beverages was nearly unchanging and lacked media coverage. Ministry of Finance (MoF) officials are key opinion leaders often cited in the media for health taxes. MoF’s support for health taxes is important to pass and implement health taxes. While SSB taxation is emerging, key opinion leaders’ media statements imply policy contestation, leading to delayed implementation. The policy debates on tobacco taxation implied election years as a major challenge for health tax passages. During the political years, anti-health tax arguments emerged from politicians. While the political contestation on SSB concluded that accentuating the health tax arguments in favour of public health generates the strongest opposition against taxation from the industry.ConclusionsPolitics of tobacco tax implementation are complex—compared with the other two commodities. The political context drives the divided views among policy-makers. Policy recommendations include generating public allies with key religious opinion leaders, continuing capacity building for politicians and Ministry of Health, and generating evidence-based arguments in favour of public health for MoF.

“…Satu hipotesis yang perlu dibuktikan validitasnya adalah perubahan surat suara dengan desain-desain yang ada juga mendorong kecenderungan perilaku pemilih untuk memilih kandidat-kandidat dengan partai yang sama, atau menghasilkan efek ekor jas (coattail effect) (Hanan and Irvani 2022). Penyederhanaan dengan menggabungkan surat suara akan berimplikasi pada minimalnya jumlah distraksi yang akan dihadapi oleh pemilih.…”

Penelitian ini mengamati pemilihan umum tahun 2019 untuk mengidentifikasi salah satu masalah yang paling disorot yaitu kompleksitas penyelenggaraannya, yang kemudian menyebabkan masalah turunan lainnya: banyaknya jumlah suara tidak sah, lamanya durasi teknis pemilihan dan kelebihan beban kerja bagi pekerja kepemiluan yang menyebabkan kematian. Dari kompleksitas itu, penelitian menjawab pertanyaan: apa yang menjadi faktor kompleksitas pemilu di Indonesia? dan bagaimana dari faktor tersebut, pemilu dapat disederhanakan? Tulisan ini menggunakan metode kualitatif, dengan mempelajari berbagai dokumen sebagai teknis analisis. Temuan dari tulisan ini menunjukkan banyaknya jenis surat suara menjadi titik sentral dari kompleksnya pemilu di Indonesia. Untuk itu, proses penyederhanaan pemilu berikutnya sangat penting diarahkan untuk memikirkan desain ulang terhadap surat suara. Menggunakan teori kesederhanaan Ockham, dan konsep pembuatan surat suara yang diatur dalam UU Nomor 7 tahun 2017 tentang Pemilihan Umum, penelitian ini berupaya memberikan gambaran diskursus penyesuasian surat suara, dan sekaligus memberikan alternatif surat suara yang mengusung konsep penyederhanaan.

The Relationship between Democracy and Foreign Direct Investment in East Asia

Has progress toward democracy affected the level of foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows to East Asia? Existing research presents conflicting theoretical perspectives on the effect of democratic institutions on FDI. One thread suggests that democratization will lead to more FDI inflows; a second argues for less; and a third argues there may be no effect. We explore whether political institutions impact FDI flows to East Asia by empirically assessing the relationship between the two phenomena. Using three-stage least-squares estimation to account for endogeneity and pooled annual time-series data from 1975 to 2018 for 13 East Asian countries, we find that democratic institutions are associated with higher levels of inward FDI. The results are robust across alternative measures of FDI and democracy. We conclude with a discussion of policy implications.
