Abstract

This paper presents a critical literature review on Indonesia’s rice surplus diplomacy within the framework of South–South Cooperation (SSC). Drawing from nine key studies, the literature review identifies three thematic clusters: food diplomacy in the Global South, critics of SSC solidarity discourse, and Indonesia’s rice surplus as an instrument of foreign policy. While SSC emphasizes equality and mutual benefit, emerging literature reveals tensions between rhetorical commitments to solidarity and the strategic, state-centric practices of donor countries. Indonesia’s case exemplifies how rice surplus has evolved from a symbol of domestic achievement to a soft power instrument, used to assert regional leadership amid global food crises. However, this transformation also exposes gaps in regional governance and risks reinforcing power asymmetries under the guise of humanitarianism. The review calls for a rethinking of SSC and food-based diplomacy, advocating for inclusive mechanisms that balance national interests with collective resilience.

Abstract

The Australian Working Holiday Visa (WHV) is a temporary migration policy that has become one of the most favored international migration schemes among Indonesia's young generation. This is in line with the increase in the WHV participant quota, which will reach 5,500 people by 2025. Although introduced as a "work and holiday" program, most WHV participants work in agriculture, hospitality, and several other high-risk sectors. This study aims to analyze the vulnerability of Indonesian WHV participants in Australia by conducting a case study over the period 2023-2025. This study employs qualitative methods by analyzing academic literature, official reports, and documented cases related to the vulnerabilities experienced by Indonesian WHV participants. The results show that the vulnerability of WHV participants stems from several structural weaknesses in the governance of the WHV policy. Throughout 2023-2025, there were seven published traffic accidents resulting in 10 fatalities and 5 injuries, two published cases of work accidents, and one published fraud/scam that harmed Indonesian WHV participants. Analysis using Neoliberal Institutionalism theory indicates asymmetric gains where Australia benefits more than Indonesia. Meanwhile, from a Temporary Migrant Labour perspective, it is known that WHV participants are in a state of unfree labor due to the threat of exploitation in the work environment, unfavorable immigration policies, and economic conditions that drive them to repeat migration. This research encourages improvements in Australia's WHV cooperation with Indonesia, such as providing pre-departure outreach, participant monitoring, legal protection, and effective reporting mechanisms to minimize risks for WHV participants and enhance cooperation between Indonesia and Australia.

Abstract

This study takes a close look at Lampung Province in Indonesia, focusing on its trade structure and the exciting growth potential within global value chains (GVCs). Using clear, accessible data from Statistik Perdagangan Luar Negeri Provinsi Lampung 2024, published by BPS Lampung, this report highlights Lampung’s export and import trends from 2014 to 2024. The report identifies key commodities and trading partners, and explores opportunities to upgrade functionality, markets, and social impact. The analysis shows that Lampung currently relies heavily on agro-based exports—mainly vegetable and animal oils, food products, and mineral fuels—and primarily depends on Asian markets, with some encouraging growth in exports to Europe and the Americas in 2024 (BPS Lampung, 2025). Drawing on Global Value Chain theory (Gereffi, 2018), the study proposes a framework to understand how Lampung can move from supplying raw materials to engaging in higher-value activities such as processing, branding, and market access through certification. The findings reveal that, even though export values rose and a surplus was achieved in 2024, manufacturing still accounts for only a small share of total exports, limiting opportunities for functional upgrading. While there has been some progress in diversifying markets toward Europe and North America, exports remain relatively concentrated in a few key regions. The paper offers practical policy recommendations, such as strengthening provincial economic diplomacy, supporting agro-processing industries, implementing certification and traceability systems, and fostering stakeholder collaboration to promote inclusive social upgrading for smallholders and MSMEs. Overall, this research provides valuable insights into subnational GVC development and points to actionable pathways for regional trade growth.
