Three emerging economies in East Asia are members of the G-20, the PR China, South Korea and Indonesia. All three welcomed the elevation of the G-20 to a world economic summit. The G-20 is in its composition far more inclusive compared to the G-8, but the question of legitimacy still remains. In the G-20 the emerging economies have the opportunity to present their positions on an equal footing. In return, the emerging economies have to accept a common responsibility for the solution of global problems. As the emerging economies are more oriented towards long-term issues, and the industrialised countries are more interested in the solution of short-term problems, the question on the future of the G-20 arises. If the G-20 should remain active beyond the financial crisis, the emerging economies have to be prepared to enter as well north-south coalitions besides specific south-south alliances. Read more on this issue in the FES Indonesia-Paper “The emerging eonomies of East Asia and the G20-process”, written by Mr. Norbert von Hofmann.

Beyond this pivotal issue, just as important is a democratic dialogue about security and defense policy. One crucial precondition is that all those involved in this dialogue have the same language at their disposal when talking security. For a long time, dialogue on security issues has been limited to the security sector and a small circle of experts. This is partly due to the complexity and sensitivity of the issues under discussion, but it is also due to the complex technical and supposedly exclusive language of security-related terminology. This dictionary seeks to translate the exclusive security sector language, thus opening up the dialogue to those so far excluded. Additionally, as security has two dimensions: internal and external, they are interlinked and have also tended to become more globalized. Thus, this dialogue is conducted predominantly in the lingua franca of security terminology, English. This dictionary is expected to facilitate the involvement of Indonesian experts, policy-makers, and the interested public in international debates on national, regional, and global security. This is necessary in order to communicate best practices, negotiate and coordinate multinational security initiatives, and cooperate on the political stage as well as on the ground.

Wendevid Rakam Since the peace treaty in Helsinki, August 15 2005, democracy in Aceh has progressed to a positive direction. In this peace time, it`s not just the male, who plays a role in Aceh`s development and change, but also the female one. Aceh women must take an active part in this process. That is why, Liga Inong Aceh (LINA) and FES Indonesia support the launching of this training module about "Women Participation in Politics". LINA believes that women participation is not only measured by their number in parliament (macro level), but the real work place for women is also present in micro level, where they have an important role in taking decision for their family and/or village. This kind of political awareness is what LINA and its partners try to awake through the module.
