Abstract

Indonesian official discourse often presents this aid as development cooperation and South-South partnership. However, these narratives do not fully explain the political logic of the relationship. Using van der Veen’s seven-frame model of foreign aid, this study analyzes Indonesia’s aid to Fiji as a multi-frame foreign-policy instrument. The article adopts a qualitative single-case study design. It uses desk review as the main data collection method and analyzes official Indonesian documents, embassy performance reports, strategic plans, gray literature and academic studies through thematic analysis. The findings show that Indonesia’s aid to Fiji has evolved from episodic assistance into a more institutionalized package of grants, humanitarian relief, technical cooperation, scholarships, reconstruction support, health assistance and sectoral training. The analysis further shows that Indonesia’s aid is driven by overlapping humanitarian, security, influence, economic, reputational, enlightened self-interest and obligation-based motives. In particular, aid helps Indonesia strengthen its diplomatic position in the Pacific, build a positive image, expand regional access, and manage Papua-related political pressures. The article contributes to foreign aid and South-South Cooperation scholarship by showing that solidarity and strategic interest can operate together in Global South aid diplomacy. In the Indonesia-Fiji case, solidarity provides the normative language that legitimizes aid, while strategic interests shape its direction as an instrument of national interest.

Abstract

This article examines Abu Sayyaf’s small arms and light weapons (SALW)-related activities in the southern Philippines during 2014-2017 through Phil Williams and Roy Godson’s Transnational Organized Crime (TOC) anticipation model. Existing studies have widely discussed Abu Sayyaf in relation to terrorism, maritime violence, kidnapping for ransom, and jihadist transformation, yet less attention has been given to analyzing the group through an integrated TOC framework. This study asks how the TOC anticipation model can explain Abu Sayyaf’s persistence during this period. Using a qualitative single case study design, the article relies on desk review and thematic analysis of academic works, policy reports, legal documents, and security studies. The findings show that Abu Sayyaf’s activities were sustained by the interaction of three dimensions. First, the economic model explains the role of illicit arms access, ransom-based financing, and maritime opportunity. Second, the political model highlights weak state capacity, porous borders, regulatory weakness, and local patronage networks. Third, the risk management model shows how Abu Sayyaf adapted through mobility, dispersal, and decentralized networks. The article concludes that Abu Sayyaf is best understood as a transnational organized criminal actor sustained by enabling conditions and adaptive operational practices.
