This research aims to compare modern international trade theories from conventional and Islamic economic perspectives. The technique used is a literature review through the analysis of sources from journals, books, and related research. The findings of this research indicate that international trade theory in the conventional perspective prioritizes efficiency, specialization, and increased profits through free market mechanisms, such as the theory of absolute advantage, comparative advantage, the H-O factor proportion, and the theory of large-scale economies. However, this approach often overlooks moral aspects, distributional justice, and the risk of exploitation. On the other hand, the Islamic perspective views trade as a muamalah activity based on justice, trustworthiness (amanah), the prohibition of riba (interest), gharar (uncertainty), and maisir (gambling), as well as the objectives of maqasid sharia (the objectives of Sharia). Both views recognize the importance of trade for economic growth but differ in their basic values and ethics. In today's era of globalization and digitalization, the importance of integrating Islamic values into international trade is increasingly understood. This aims to build a more just, sustainable, and inclusive trading system. This research emphasizes the need to apply Sharia principles in contemporary trade practices, including the application of Islamic financial instruments, the development of halal e-commerce platforms, and ethical oversight within global supply chains. In this way, it is hoped that international trade can provide broader benefits to all of humanity, in accordance with the principles of justice and welfare in Islam. The interconnectedness of both approaches in the digital context demonstrates the need to unite Islamic moral values with changes in today's global trade.

Pepper is currently not only used to meet daily needs but also as an export commodity. Indonesian pepper exports generate foreign exchange for the country. Currently, international competition for pepper exports is increasingly fierce. An evaluation of the level of market competition and the structure of the pepper market at the international level is necessary. The methods used to analyze the level of competition concentration and market structure are the Concentration Ratio of Biggest Four (CR4) and the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI). The types of pepper discussed in this study are white pepper with HS code 090411 and black pepper with HS code 090412. The results obtained indicate that both black and white pepper tend to be in an oligopoly market structure with a relatively high level of competition. Such market conditions are a distinct advantage for Indonesia, as there are not too many competitors while buyers or enthusiasts are quite high. A striking difference occurs in the international black pepper trade. In the black pepper trade, Indonesia is not classified as a country with the largest market share.

This study aims to describe students' perceptions of the impact of international trade on national development strategies amidst economic globalization. In this context, cross-border trade plays an important role in accelerating economic growth and improving the competitiveness of domestic products. Students' understanding, as part of the generation that will drive the future economy, is crucial to assess the extent to which they perceive the relationship between international trade and national development. This research uses a descriptive quantitative approach with data collection techniques through the distribution of questionnaires to economics students. The findings show that the majority of students have a positive perception of the contribution of international trade, especially in terms of increasing exports, absorbing foreign investments, and creating job opportunities. However, a small proportion of respondents also noted the risks of dependency on global markets, which could affect domestic economic stability. Overall, these findings emphasize the importance of international trade in supporting sustainable and inclusive national development, balancing the benefits of globalization with domestic economic protection.

International trade involves cross-border buying and selling activities between countries, which in practice requires various transportation documents to ensure legal certainty and smooth operations. One of the main documents used is the Bill of Lading (Konosemen), which is a dated letter issued by the carrier as proof of receipt of goods to be transported to a certain destination and delivered to a specified recipient. The Bill of Lading has three essential functions: as a receipt of goods, as evidence of ownership, and as proof of a transportation contract. However, in practice, there are still frequent problems that hinder the optimal function of the Bill of Lading. One notable case is APL Co. Pte. Ltd. v. CV. Dua Sekawan Sejati, which involved discrepancies between the goods shipped and those stated in the Bill of Lading. This study adopts a normative juridical method by examining applicable legal provisions and theoretical concepts related to the law of contracts and transportation. The findings show that discrepancies between the goods shipped and those listed in the Bill of Lading constitute a breach of promise or default under Article 1320 of the Indonesian Civil Code. The Bill of Lading, in this case, serves as a legally binding transportation contract that obligates both parties to fulfill their respective responsibilities. Failure by one party to comply with the terms of the contract results in legal consequences in the form of claims for compensation by the aggrieved party. This research emphasizes the importance of accuracy and accountability in the issuance and use of Bills of Lading in international trade to avoid disputes and ensure legal certainty. Strengthening the regulation and enforcement of Bill of Lading functions is crucial for protecting the rights of parties engaged in cross-border trade.

Indonesia's digital economy is rapidly growing with the emergence of e-commerce, fintech, and blockchain technology that facilitate cross-border transactions. However, challenges such as technological access inequality, personal data exploitation, and multinational company dominance remain major concerns. Therefore, implementing Pancasila values in digital economy governance is crucial to ensuring social justice, consumer protection, and national competitiveness. Pancasila principles, such as moral-based business ethics, consumer rights protection, digital sovereignty, and participatory regulation, must be integrated into digital economic policies. Additionally, electronic commerce regulations based on international law should align with national interests to balance digital economic growth and constitutional rights protection. Thus, Pancasila-based digital economic policies can promote inclusivity, strengthen SMEs' competitiveness, and ensure the broader welfare of society.

QRIS (Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard) is a national digital payment innovation launched by Bank Indonesia to strengthen Indonesia’s digital and economic sovereignty. By integrating various payment platforms into a single QR code standard, QRIS simplifies domestic transactions—especially for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs)—while reinforcing state control over financial infrastructure and data flows. This policy reduces reliance on international payment networks such as Visa and Mastercard, which previously dominated digital transactions and stored data abroad. On a global scale, QRIS functions as a tool of digital economic diplomacy through cross-border payment initiatives like ASEAN Pay, enabling Indonesia to expand its influence in the global digital payment ecosystem. However, the United States has criticized QRIS, arguing that it restricts access for foreign companies and poses a barrier to trade. In response, the Indonesian government asserts that QRIS is designed to protect national interests while promoting fair international collaboration. This study employs a normative juridical and descriptive qualitative approach to analyze QRIS-related regulations, its impact on digital sovereignty, and its implications for international trade relations. Secondary data is sourced from literature studies and official documents. The findings reveal that QRIS plays a vital role in accelerating MSME digital transformation, enhancing financial inclusion, and strengthening Indonesia’s bargaining position in global digital finance. Ultimately, QRIS stands not only as a transaction tool but also as a strategic symbol of Indonesia’s digital independence and competitiveness in the international financial landscape.

Human trafficking is a serious and growing crime, including in Cambodia, which has become one of the countries vulnerable to this practice. This study aims to analyze the handling of human trafficking crimes in Cambodia from an international law perspective. Cambodia plays a significant role in the context of human trafficking due to its geographic location and socio-economic conditions, which influence the rate of human trafficking, whether for sexual exploitation, forced labor, or organ trafficking. This research uses a qualitative method with a literature review approach from various sources, including international conventions, reports from international organizations, and Cambodia's national regulations. The findings show that although Cambodia has adopted several laws to combat human trafficking, the implementation of these policies is often hindered by limited resources, corruption, and lack of cooperation between countries. Additionally, despite efforts from the international community, such as the Palermo Protocol, challenges in consistently applying the law remain a significant barrier. The study also finds that stricter law enforcement and better rehabilitation systems for victims are necessary to improve the situation. Therefore, further collaboration between the Cambodian government, international organizations, and non-governmental organizations is needed to comprehensively address this issue.

International trade is the main pillar of global economic development. For Indonesia, international trade policy plays a strategic role in encouraging economic growth. As a country rich in natural resources and with a large population, Indonesia has the potential to be significant in the global value chain. However, fluctuations in commodity prices, competitive pressures, and protectionism of trading partners are obstacles that need to be overcome. This study examines the impact of international trade policies on Indonesia's economic growth through a literature study. The analysis focuses on the influence of tariff regulation, free trade agreements, and non-tariff policies on the competitiveness of national products and the protection of domestic industries. The results show that trade policies are effective in creating synergies between exports and economic growth, although challenges in the form of dependence on primary commodity exports and the need to increase manufacturing competitiveness remain. This study recommends strengthening infrastructure, improving the quality of human resources, and sustainable economic policies as strategies to optimize international trade for national economic development.

International trade plays a crucial role in driving the global economy. However, policy differences between countries often trigger disputes that require resolution through fair legal mechanisms. The World Trade Organization (WTO) provides a dispute settlement platform through its Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) to handle these cases.
