| PIBEL led a three-year project during
2000-2003 to help Indonesia implement its new competition law
and understand the law's links to trade and market access.
The project was funded by over $880,000 in grants from U.S.
AID.
Among the project's many activities were training sessions
in Indonesia for senior Indonesian government officials and
judges, including the Indonesian Supreme Court. The projecy
also included two U.S.-Indonesian conferences held at Georgetown
University Law Center, a lecture series at ten universities
in seven cities throughout Indonesia, a bilingual website, visits
to the United States by Indonesian officials and academics,
and a number of market studies in Indonesia.
Georgetown was the lead partner in a partnership with two Indonesian
non-profit entities: the Partnership for Business Competition
and the Center for Indonesian Law and Policy Studies. The members
of these two groups are law professors and economists (mostly
in their 30's and 40's) from five of the best universities in
Indonesia, as well as a few Indonesian officials. These individuals
are committed to democratic and economic reform.
