"This study examines the validity of governmental supports and policies; and financing for entrepreneurs in the context of global entrepreneurial activities. Our studies are based on the rich datasets of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) database covering 108 countries from 2001 to 2014. In this study, we examine whether countries with more favorable policies and supports towards entrepreneurship and availability of financing for entrepreneurs would result in the higher country’s entrepreneurial activities. We use total early-stage entrepreneurial activity (TEA), a percentage of 18 - 64 year old population who are either a nascent entrepreneur or an owner manager of a new business, as our dependent variable to represent country’s entrepreneurial activities. There are two main explanatory variables used in the study: governmental supports and financing for entrepreneurs. The governmental supports represents the extent to which public policies support entrepreneurship as a relevant economic issue, while financing for entrepreneurs indicates the availability of financial resources for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) including grants and subsidies. We also include three control variables of basic school entrepreneurial education and training; physical and services infrastructure; and cultural and social norms to test the significance of these factors to the country’s entrepreneurial activities. This study adopts panel regression model augmented with control variables. Our results suggest that there is no evident that government supports and financing for entrepreneurs have significant contribution for country’s entrepreneurial activities. It could be explained that entrepreneurial activities are more flourished in a country that has not set entrepreneurship as relevant economic issues as it might be the case for many emerging countries. The availability of formal financial resources also has a negative contribution to country’s entrepreneurial activities. It could be interpreted that in some countries many new start-ups and entrepreneurs seem to have a greater reliance to informal financing of 4Fs (Founders, Family, Friends and Foolhardy investors) instead of formal channels such as government grant and subsidies, venture capital or strategic partners. We also found that only social and cultural norm values which encourage actions leading to new business and entrepreneurships have a significant contribution in stimulating country’s entrepreneurship activities. However, there is no evident that psychical and services infrastructure; and entrepreneurial education and training at basic school is significantly affecting entrepreneurships in a country."

"Tugas karya akhir ini menjelaskan motif terbentuknya Forum Kerjasama Ekonomi BRICS yang terdiri dari negara-negara Emerging Economies. Forum ini berdiri pada tahun 2009 pasca terjadi krisis global yang melanda dunia di tahun 2007-2008. Negara-negara yang menginisiasi terbentuknya forum ini adalah Brazil, Rusia, India, China (BRIC). Kemudian pada tahun 2011 Afrika Selatan resmi terdaftar menjadi anggota sehingga nama BRIC berubah menjadi BRICS dengan tambahan S untuk South Africa atau Afrika Selatan. Penjelasan dari motivasi terbentuknya BRICS dilakukan dalam kerangka implementasi teori integrasi ekonomi dari perspektif liberalisme, teori power, kepentingan nasional dan aliansi dari perspektif realisme, dan teori identitas kolektif dari perspektif konstuktivisme. Liberalisme dengan teori integrasi ekonominya melihat pembentukan BRICS dimotivasi melalui adanya keinginan untuk memperbesar dampak kerjasama ekonomi pada pertumbuhan ekonomi masing-masing negara anggotanya. Realisme dengan teori power, kepentingan nasional dan aliansinya melihat pembentukan BRICS dimotivasi melalui adanya keinginan bersatu yang didasari dari karakter kekuatan ekonomi dan kepentingan yang sama dari negaranegara BRICS untuk memperluas pengaruh pada level internasional. Sedangkan konstruktivisme dengan teori indentitas kolektifnya melihat pembentukan BRICS dimotivasi dari adanya ide terkonstruksi yang membangun kesadaran anggotanya atas kesamaan sebagai sebuah kekuatan ekonomi baru, kesamaan cita-cita untuk perubahan kondisi internasional, serta kesamaan pola hubungan dengan Amerika Serikat.
