When I was in college, my motivation to write an academic article was quite strong. Perhaps by that time I was still familiar with some issues related to my major. And luckily, I was surrounded by many highly-dedicated friends who were eager to produce some writings that could be published in journals. One of my best mentors in the Department of International Relations University of Indonesia invited me to join her to write an article for a journal. The article is about corporations in the context of international relations. Commonly, international relations talk about nation-states and deem non-state issues as marginal issues. That's why we wanted to review another aspect of international relations. So we did it. Our article was published in Jurnal Global dan Strategis of Airlangga University. Below is the abstract:
Multinational Corporations (MNCs) are key agents transforming the international and political economy landscape. They are highly visible organization with great power and mobility, they inspire both awe and fear. This article tries to explain the conceptual framework of multinational corporations by analyzing their relationship with state, local enterprises, and non-governmental economic constellations, then one is likely to see MNCs as sources of pursuit of balanced development is preferable, then MNCs may represent forces exacerbating inequality and exploitation.

I hope from this starting point, there will be more entries in other "qualified" journals. Amin. :)
