The economic success of a nation is largely determined by internal
factors. But external influencers both ideas and events can affect
economic performance significantly as well. Indeed, as Indonesias
recent experience demonstrates only too well, some external shocks
can inflict great damage. And lesson can be learned from the
experience of the countries as well. This paper will focus on the
interaction between external influences and domestic economic
management in Indonesia
Kesuksesan ekonomi suatu bangsa sangat bergantung pada faktorfaktor eksternal. Namun, pengaruh-pengaruh eksternal baik
gagasan-gagasan
maupun
peristiwa-peristiwa,
dapat
juga
memengaruhi kinerja ekonomi secara signifikan. Memang karena
mengalaman akhir-akhir ini menunjukkan hal yang terlalu bagus,
beberapa kejutan eksternal dapat mendatangan kerusakan yang besar.
Dan pelajaran juga dapat diambil dari pengalaman-pengalaman
negara-negara lain. Makalah ini akan difokuskan pada7 interaksi antara
pengaruh-pengaruh eksternal dan manajemen ekonomi domestik di
Indonesia

Text 1.Par 7
First, the global development agenda has continued to widen and has
become increasingly complex. Indeed, the 1997-98 economic crisis in
Asia itself served to encourage a further broadening of the agenda
because many observers argued that the weakness of civil society
institutions in the region, and especially in Indonesia, had contributed
to the crisis (Stern: 2003).

Pertama, agenda pembangunan global terus melebar dan telah

menjadi semakin kompleks. Memang, krisis ekonomi tahun 1997-98 di
Asia sendiri berfungsi sebagai pemicu semakin melebarnya agenda
tersebut sebab banyak pengamat yang berargumentasi bahwa
lemahnya lembaga-lembaga masyarakat madani di daerah tersebut,
dan terutama di Indonesia, telah mendorong terjadinya krisis tersebut
(Stern: 2003)
