Saat masih kuliah di UGM, saya mendengar kabar seorang diplomat muda Indonesia di London berani tampil di BBC World Debate, berhadapan dgn diplomat senior Ramos Horta, di saat atmosfer internasional sedang menyudutkan Indonesia. Diplomat muda Indonesia itu tampil gemilang menjaga nama Indonesia tegak berwibawa. Di situlah pertama kali saya mendengar namanya: @dinopattidjalal.

Beberapa tahun kemudian, saat sedang menempuh progam PhD di Illinois, kami berjumpa langsung. Dino datang ke Chicago menjelaskan keadaan mahasiswa dan diaspora Indonesia pasca-9/11. Yg kami temui adalah diplomat muda yg cerdas, artikulatif, dan mampu menangani persoalan rumit dgn ketenangan diplomatik yg sulit ditiru.

Tahun 2012, sebagai Dubes di AS, Dino menggagas Kongres Diaspora Indonesia pertama di Los Angeles, mempertemukan diaspora dari seluruh dunia. Saya termasuk yg ia undang. Ia lalu mendirikan FPCI, komunitas kebijakan luar negeri terbesar dan berpengaruh, yg ikut melahirkan generasi diplomat baru, ujung tombak kita di panggung global.

Menguasai substansi, rekam jejaknya teruji, dan pengalaman memimpinnya luas. Itulah Dino. Karier diplomatiknya panjang dan ajeg, kecintaannya pada politik luar negeri Indonesia begitu dalam. Dino Patti Djalal, bukan karbitan jadi diplomat, bukan pula karbitan jadi pejabat.

There's a lot of discourse rn about capital taxation, and the principle that should govern it. I recommend people check out this recent Stiglitz work on the topic. He's a leading thinker on the topic and knows much more about the econ models used in the debate than most.

New paper on https://t.co/rn0Qpxe626 by @gatonievas & @PaulaDruschke finds that 70% of World Bank and IMF funds are allocated to G7 geopolitically aligned countries.

Bottom line: rich countries pretend to be in favour of democracy but in practice they have built an undemocratic international system to benefit from the collective resources of global public goods, institutionalizing the political inequalities between global South and global North.

Does saying sorry win you favours or hold you back in the workplace? A new study holds the answers https://t.co/Zh6ilYGAsN

[Yanuar Nugroho @yanuarnugroho]

sejak daftar ini beredar, banyak tanya bermunculan di kepala:

1. kalau PU dipotong segede itu, gimana perawatan dan perbaikan fasilitas/infrastruktur publik yg rusak di tahun 2025 ini?

2. kalau BKN dipotong segede itu, apakah puluhan BKD di daerah bisa bekerja? gimana dukungan pada ASN di sana?

3. kalau pemotongan 'across the board' segede ini (kecuali di KL yg tidak dipotong), bagaimana dengan rekrutmen staf (PNS, PPPK, tenaga ahli, konsultan) di KL2 tersebut?

4. kalau pemotongan 'across the board' segede ini (kecuali di KL yg tidak dipotong), bagaimana dgn jalannya tugas pokok dan fungsinya --di luar pembayaran gaji (yang tentu signifikan)?

biar tidak shuudzon, apakah teman2 berkenan membantu menyampaikan dampak2 (atau antisipasi dampak2) di KL yg anda tahu?

saya kira kita perlu evidence ttg dampak-tak-termaksud (unintended consequences) dari kebijakan ini, untuk mengingatkan/memberitahukan/protes pada pembuat kebijakan ini -- dan meminta mereka meninjaunya kembali.

In almost every country, parenthood has a clear & persistent negative impact on women’s employment, while men’s employment is virtually unaffected. But the size of the penalty varies enormously.
