Belakangan ini, Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN) menjadi buah perbincangan hangat di kalangan masyarakat Indonesia. Banyak pertanyaan mengenai prospeknya IKN di masa depan sebagai mahkota baru bangsa Indonesia. Dalam video ini, Dr. Dino Patti Djalal mengusulkan 3 butir pedoman untuk kesuksesan pembangunan IKN. 1. Bebaskan pembangunan fisik IKN dari siklus politik nasional. 2. Tidak perlu berambisi menjadikan IKN kota internasional. IKN cukup menjadi sebuah kota pusat pemerintahan modern yang memiliki penduduk. 3. Terapkan asas kemandirian. Jangan sampai IKN menimbulkan politik hutang budi terhadap negara lain.

The growth of China’s economic, political, diplomatic, military, cultural, social and technological power has become one of the defining features of the 21st century world system. Within a few years, China is set to overtake the US as the world’s largest economy. China has become a key trading partner to many countries in Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America. The growth of China’s power also comes with a greater sense of global entitlement and ambition. China’s rise has fueled a greater sense of insecurities in some western countries, who see China as a competitor and rival. The US in particular sees China as a country that has the capability to undermine its primacy in world affairs. Countries in the global south, with some exceptions, have generally been open minded and welcoming towards China’s rise. All in all, there is no question that China’s rise has reshaped the world order in the 21st century. Against this backdrop, FPCI will convene a Global Town Hall Series on “what does China’s rise mean to the rest of the world?” hailing speakers from North-South-East-West to share their views on how China’s rise is seen from their respective countries.

In today’s rapidly evolving technological and geopolitical landscape, the capacity for individuals and civil society groups to affect meaningful change has expanded beyond traditional government channels. While governments from the U.S. to China, and from the Global North to the Global South still play a crucial role, the democratization of information and communication tools has empowered ordinary people and grassroots organizations to contribute to societal progress in unprecedented ways.

Fostering a culture of civic engagement and participatory democracy, therefore, is essential for ensuring that individual ideas translate into concrete actions and lasting improvements in society.
