Policies for Building the Investment Climate in Increasing Investment in Indonesia

/in /by

Investment has an important role, considering that a country needs investment, especially for developing countries. One of the investment problems in Indonesia is the issue of legal certainty. This problem arose both because of the disharmony of related legislation and the issue of synchronization. Even though the issue of legal certainty is something that is expected by every investor, this is because investment is related to the expected profit in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to have arrangements in terms of legislation, as well as services. The arrangement of services also needs to be accompanied by the arrangement of the legal system. Therefore the concept of an investment legal system must include the arrangement of investment law and related laws, such as labor law issues, licensing laws that encourage certainty and protection for the continuity of investment.

The Legal Concept of Changing the Status of a Legal Entity from a Commanditaire Vennootschap (Limited Partnership) to a Limited Liability Company

/in /by

There is no detailed legal concept regarding CV, especially when businesses want to change CV to LLC, including the deed of the changing of CV to LLC and the authority of each ally. CV regulations are still guided by the Commercial Code and Civil Code, while technical regulations refer to MoLHR Number 17 of 2018. The research indicates that while the LLC establishment deed contains a statement that all assets and liabilities of the dissolved CV become the authorized capital of the LLC, the CV dissolution deed contains a statement that the CV is declared dissolved and transferred to a LLC. Additionally, the legal concept of CV needs to be governed by a separate law, so the government must review and assess the 2018 Draft Law on Legal Plans of Business Entities, which needs to incorporate provisions for CV continuity into the CVR concept adopted from the Dutch Draft Law on Legal Plans of Partnership and CV to LLC. Through a qualitative research approach called normative juridical with a statutory approach and a comparative approach, the research aims to reconstruct and identify the legal concept of changing CV to LLC in the Netherlands in comparison to the Nieuw Burgerlijk Wetboek and the Draft Law on Legal Plan of Partnership.

Classical Abstraction versus Romantic Abstraction: Towards a Shift in Consciousness

/in /by

In this brief essay, I outline the two fundamental strands of art: The Classical and the Romantic. I illustrate these notions with key examples culled from the history of art. I argue that an extreme of either side propels art forward, but this is opposed to the larger stream of life in which balance and a middle road is called for. I then argue that through consciousness of art (…or science…etc.) and of the aesthetic, a second-order reflective stance is possible which, together with a moral sensibility, evolves a consciousness that may improve the quality of life for individuals and collectively.
