Abstract

There is still a huge debate on business policy in Indonesia pertaining the fact that the Government of Indonesia is still reluctance to ratify one of the important conventions for the business world namely CISG (Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods). This paper attempts to discuss the issues which will deliver inter-disciplinary areas such as law, economics, and public policy. By analyzing this matter with a comprehensive measure, it will ensure an appropriate understanding and thus create more precise analysis to serve a contribution in suggesting solve-problem. Despite having its particular point of view, the author based and used other scholar`s arguments to compare and present the debate towards current business circumstance on practice, policy, and relevant regulations. The finding of this paper is either the current condition of business practice or global pressure are inadequate to force the immediate urgency to ratify the CISG. While the last option comes from the political will of government, the author believes that the government should seek to ratify the CISG in a convenient timing rather than alter the National Civil Code.

Bahasa Abstract

Masih ada perdebatan besar mengenai kebijakan di Indonesia yang berkaitan dengan fakta bahwa Pemerintah Indonesia masih enggan untuk meratifikasi salah satu konvensi penting bagi dunia usaha yaitu CISG (Konvensi tentang Kontrak untuk Penjualan Barang Internasional). Makalah ini mencoba membahas isu-isu yang akan mengantarkan bidang inter-disiplin seperti hukum, ekonomi, dan kebijakan publik. Dengan pendekatan yang komprehensif, akan memastikan pemahaman yang padu dan dengan demikian menciptakan analisis yang lebih tepat untuk memberikan kontribusi dalam mengemukakan pemecahan masalah. Meskipun memiliki sudut pandang khusus, penulis mendasarkan dan menggunakan argument sarjana lainnya untuk membandingkan dan menyajikan perdebatan mengenai keadaan bisnis saat ini mengenai praktik, kebijakan, dan peraturan yang relevan. Temuan makalah ini adalah kondisi praktik bisnis saat ini atau tekanan global yang tidak memadai untuk segera mendesak untuk meratifikasi CISG. Sementara pilihan terakhir berasal dari kemauan politik pemerintah, penulis percaya bahwa pemerintah harus berusaha untuk meratifikasi CISG dalam waktu yang tepat dan tidak terlalu lama daripada mengubah KUH Perdata Nasional semata-mata.
