Description
Summary:This research aims to analyze the reason for rejection of the European Union on Indonesian crude palm oil (CPO), by using the theory of neo-mercantilism. The theory of neo-mercantilism is an outgrowth of mercantilism policies used in the era of liberal trading. The theory of neo-mercantilism explains the tendency of states to use economy to achieve the interests. There are four important things in neo mercantilism, which is used as atool by the state to achieve its interests, that is protectionism, the promotion of �infant industries�, education, and infrastructure. The results of the analysis using the theory of neo-mercantilism descrives how the European Union uses its policies to protect certain industries, which in this case is the industry of energy and energy crops. The conlusion of this research is that the rejection of Indonesian crude palm oil (CPO) can not be separated from efforts of the European Union to protect its industry, particularly through protectionism and promotion in the use of renewable energy. Protectionism and promotion policy is contained in the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and the Renewable Energy Directive (RED). Both of these policies is the instruments of European Union to protect its energy industry as well as to promote the development of energy crops. During this CPO is a vegetable oil and raw materials in the world�s energy demand. So that, to be able to compete with palm oil, the European Union do a protection for its industry. This research is expected to explain the phenomenon in international relations, regarding the efforts of state or region to maintain its industry to compete in international trade.
