Isu-Isu Pembangunan: Pengantar Teoritis

Dalam “pembangunan” terkandung harapan akan perubahan ke arah yang lebih baik, terlepas dari apa yang dimaksud lebih baik itu. Namun, pembangunan bukanlah proses alamiah ibarat tumbuhnya anggrek di hutan. Ada sekumpulan orang dengan kepentingan berbeda-beda (bahkan juga bertentangan), yang disadari atau tidak, terlibat dalam prosesnya. Sekadar menyasar pertumbuhan demi kemakmuran material sama artinya mengabaikan fakta bahwa dalam konteks hubu ngan di antara pihak-pihak yang terlibat (dilibatkan), ada perbedaan derajat dalam hal kekuasaan atau akses terhadap sarana, bahan baku, dan hasil-hasil pembangunan. Artinya, pembangunan bukan urusan ekonomi belaka, melainkan juga urusan politik. Karena politik digerakkan oleh kepentingan-kepentingan berbeda yang dikondisikan oleh kedudukan dan peran sosial-ekonomi tertentu, tidak begitu mengherankan jika beragam pengertian tidak jarang saling bertentangan, bukan hanya tentang tujuan, tetapi juga arti pembangunan itu sendiri. Dalam buku ini berbagai pengertian dan kepentingan berbeda-beda terhadap pembangunan itu dipaparkan secara ringkas. Tidak ada kata akhir bagi apa yang disebut “teori-teori pembangunan” sepanjang kepentingan-kepentingan yang melandasi dan menyokongnya dengan asumsi-asumsi tertentu tetap ada. Dengan merunut asumsi-asumsi di balik setiap teori, kita bisa menguak juga asumsi-asumsi yang melandasi arah kebijakan pembangunan suatu pemerintahan, termasuk asumsi-asumsi di balik arah kebijakan Nawacita-nya pemerintahan Presiden Joko Widodo.

PENGANTAR ILMU EKONOMI Kajian Teoritis dan Praktis Mengatasi Masalah Pokok Perekonomian

Buku ini lahir dijadikan sebagai perwujudan terhadap pengembangan dasar ilmu ekonomi sebagaimana dikembangkan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari terutama sebagai pelaku ekonomi yang berupaya keras dalam memenuhi kebutuhan hidupnya baik berupa pangan, sandang maupun papan. Kebutuhan tersebut senantiasa dapat terpenuhi tentunya dengan ilmu supaya dalam mendapatkan profit (keuntungan) didasari oleh penerapan ilmu ekonomi dalam memanajemenkan kehidupan ekonomi pula. Sumber daya yang ada berada dalam keadaan yang sangat terbatas namun kebutuhan manusia sangatlah tidak terbatas, sehingga diperlukan suatu upaya manusia atau masyarakat untuk mengatur atau menentukan pilihan-pilihan terhadap sumber daya yang terbatas itu untuk memenuhi kebutuhan manusia atau masyarakat yang tidak terbatas. Sebagaimana diketahui bahwa sumber daya yang ada ditengah manusia sebagai pelaku ekonomi itu berupa uang, modal, tanah, mesin, pendidikan, keahlian, dan sebagainya merupakan sesuatu yang terbatas dan harus dimanfaatkan sesuai dengan kebutuhan bukan digunakan dan dieksploitasi tanpa batas sehingga tidak ada kesinambungan bagi generasi yang akan datang. Dalam kasus tertentu misalnya seseorang yang ingin memiliki sepeda motor, kulkas, mesin cuci dan sebagainya sebagai barang yang sifatnya membutuhkan uang dalam jumlah relatif banyak, untuk bisa mendapatkan barang tersebut secara bersamaan sebagaimana disebabkan karena penghasilan pelaku ekonomi yang pas-pasan tentunya tidak mungkin bisa membeli semuanya dalam waktu yang bersamaan, maka sudah barang tentu pelaku ekonomi hendaknya berupaya untuk menentukan pilihan dengan membeli salah satu dari barang tersebut untuk dapat memenuhi kebutuhan hidupnya. Pilihan itu ditentukan karena pada saat itu pelaku ekonomi memiliki keterbatasan sumber daya berupa uang. Berlandaskan terhadap kasus ekonomi tersebut, maka dapat dapat diketahui bahwa betapa pentingnya mempelajari ilmu ekonomi karena ilmu ekonomi merupakan ilmu yang mempelajari tentang upaya manusia baik secara individu atau masyarakat dalam menentukan sumber daya yang terbatas jumlahnya, untuk memenuhi kebutuhannya yang tidak terbatas. Sehubungan dengan hal tersebut, maka dilakukan penulisan buku yang berjudul Pengantar Ilmu Ekonomi. Buku ini merupakan hasil kajian kepustakaan yang menjadi teori utama (grounded theory) yang penulis temukan dalam berbagai literatur ilmiah berupa jurnal dan kutipan buku ajar yang lain. Penulis menyadari dengan berlandaskan kepada konsep bahwa ketika ilmu disebarluarkan kepada banyak orang maka ilmu tersebut akan memberikan manfaat kepada pemiliknya sehingga misi utama penulisan buku ini secara umum digunakan untuk menyebarkan ilmu pengetahuan tentang ilmu ekonomi kepada semua kalangan baik akademisi maupun praktisi singkatnya pembaca secara luas dan sekaligus semoga dapat tetap membuat penulis untuk tetap senantiasa rendah hati dan tunduk kepada ketaatan terhadap kemutlakan ilmu Tuhan Yang Maha Kuasa diatas segala ilmu sehinga satu harapa tersebut penulis yaitu dapat menyebabkan penulisnya belajar dan belajar lagi, karena sesungguhnya semakin banyak ilmu yang kita ketahui maka kita akan senantiasa merasa kecil dan tidak ada apa-apanya dibandingkan dengan ilmu Tuhan yang sungguh besar dan luas.

Criminal Law

Model Problems and Outstanding Answers

Law students often find criminal law to be one of the most interesting, but also one of the most difficult courses. Even the fundamental elements of criminal liability can be hard to learn and even harder to apply on exams. The study of criminal law demands that students juggle a mix of common law principles, modern judicial decisions, statutory text, the Model Penal Code, and philosophies of justice to address the enduring dilemmas that comprise criminal law. In Criminal Law: Model Problems and Outstanding Answers, Kathryn Christopher and Russell Christopher deftly guide students in applying criminal law. Their interesting and accessible fact patterns explore important principles surrounding homicide and rape, attempt and conspiracy, accomplice liability and defenses, and devote special attention to difficult doctrines like impossible attempt and felony murder. This book includes clear introductions to the major topics in criminal law, provides hypotheticals that students can expect to see on exams, and offers model answers to those hypotheticals. It then gives students the opportunity to evaluate their own work with a comprehensive self-analysis section. This book prepares students by challenging them to use the law they learn in class while also explaining the best way to express sophisticated answers on their exams. Model Problems and Outstanding Answers is an innovative new series by Oxford University Press. Featuring topical introductions and clear fact patterns, each book contains exercises designed to help students develop methods to craft organized, relevant, and thoughtful responses to exam-style questions. These exercises show the student how to think like a lawyer. By guiding students to the most appropriate ways to apply their knowledge to new facts, the series offers meaningful and significant preparation for law school exams and bar-exam essays.

Basic Concepts of Criminal Law

In the United States today criminal justice can vary from state to state, as various states alter the Modern Penal Code to suit their own local preferences and concerns. In Eastern Europe, the post-Communist countries are quickly adopting new criminal codes to reflect their specific national concerns as they gain autonomy from what was once a centralized Soviet policy. As commonalities among countries and states disintegrate, how are we to view the basic concepts of criminal law as a whole? Eminent legal scholar George Fletcher acknowledges that criminal law is becoming increasingly localized, with every country and state adopting their own conception of punishable behavior, determining their own definitions of offenses. Yet by taking a step back from the details and linguistic variations of the criminal codes, Fletcher is able to perceive an underlying unity among diverse systems of criminal justice. Challenging common assumptions, he discovers a unity that emerges not on the surface of statutory rules and case law but in the underlying debates that inform them. Basic Concepts of Criminal Law identifies a set of twelve distinctions that shape and guide the controversies that inevitably break out in every system of criminal justice. Devoting a chapter to each of these twelve concepts, Fletcher maps out what he considers to be the deep structure of all systems of criminal law. Understanding these distinctions will not only enable students to appreciate the universal fundamental ideas of criminal law, but will enable them to understand the significance of local details and variations. This accessible illustration of the unity of diverse systems of criminal justice will provoke and inform students and scholars of law and the philosophy of law, as well as lawyers seeking a better understanding of the law they practice.

In this text, Fletcher maintains that there is much greater unity among diverse systems of criminal justice than commonly realized, and that any adequate system of criminal law must address a set of universal, basic issues.
