The investigation was based on in-depth interviews with 45 key informants from two major regional cocoa netchains in the economy. During the interviews, participatory rural assessment technique was employed in order to find out how regional netchain dimensions are interacted with value chain performance. The findings proved the roles of governance mechanism and social embedding into the value chain performance. Governance mechanism was regarded as the most important variable to secure price stability, hence leads to a viable and sustainable regional netchain of cocoa production. Furthermore, social embedding also played an important role through the influence of patron-client systems.

While ubiquitous regionalization is regarded as the new necessity, recent studies provide mixed views on the effectiveness of the current development of economic integration among the member countries of Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). ASEAN regionalization has been commenced through AFTA in 1992 and recently ASEAN is moving toward further economic integration under the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), which is planned to be implemented by 2015. Based on the characteristics of the ASEAN trade and investments, this research provides an outlook on the prospect of AEC. First, it provides picture related to the tendency of each of the ASEAN members in regard to their trading patterns. Second, it provides the outlook concerning the current structure and developmental phases of the ASEAN economies. Finally, it provides information about the gaps of development among the ASEAN economies, particularly between the ASEAN-6 and the ASEAN-CLMV.

Indonesian business society has been started to implement the standard since 2001. But many corporations currently still struggle to find their best model on GCG implementation. This study is based on a field research at ASGR, a public listed IT company in Indonesia which had passed valuable experience in implementing GCG principles. This study primarily used the company's data from the period of 2000 to 2001, which was the period for ASGR to do early studies and preparations to implement GCG. This paper recommends a strategic model for the implementation of GCG in Indonesia. The model uses a system approach as the analytical basis to connect the implementation of GCG with the strategic context of the company. It includes the utilization of multi-stakeholder, strategic responses, and global benchmarking analysis as the useful tool to guide the strategic imp...
