Abstract

China’s growing influence in Southeast Asia has increasingly been exercised not only through material power, but also through international communication and discursive practices that shape regional norms and perceptions. Existing studies on China’s rise tend to privilege economic and strategic explanations, often overlooking the communicative processes through which hegemony is constructed and legitimized. Addressing this gap, this article examines China’s regional influence from a neo-Gramscian perspective, focusing on international communication as an arena of hegemonic consolidation and contestation. This study aims to analyze how China articulates hegemonic narratives in Southeast Asia and how Indonesia responds through communication-based counter-diplomacy. Using a qualitative case study approach, this study analyzes secondary data consisting of policy documents, diplomatic statements, media coverage, and digital diplomacy materials published between 2014 and 2024. The data are examined through discourse analysis, framing analysis, and qualitative content analysis to identify patterns of hegemonic narratives and counter-narratives. The findings show that China’s hegemony operates through the integration of material initiatives such as the Belt and Road Initiative and the Global Security Initiative—with discursive strategies that normalize Chinese leadership. Indonesia responds through adaptive counter-diplomacy that emphasizes international communication, ASEAN centrality, and inclusive regional norms to preserve narrative autonomy under conditions of asymmetric interdependence. The study demonstrates that counter-hegemonic practices in contemporary regional politics increasingly rely on communicative and symbolic strategies rather than overt confrontation.

Abstract

Corruption in local government budget management remains a persistent threat to the principles of good governance across Southeast Asia. Despite the presence of formal regulatory frameworks aimed at promoting transparency and accountability, their practical implementation often falls short due to structural, institutional, and political constraints. This study investigates how public regulations influence the enforcement of good governance and explores the challenges faced by law enforcement agencies in combating corruption in regional budgets, with a particular focus on Indonesia and comparative insights from other ASEAN countries. Employing a qualitative approach, the study uses case studies of two Indonesian local governments, combining document analysis, in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, and field observations of budgeting practices. The findings reveal that although regulatory frameworks are generally adequate, their enforcement is undermined by limited bureaucratic capacity, political patronage, and institutional fragmentation. Law enforcement is further hampered by overlapping mandates, weak inter-agency coordination, and uneven resource allocation. Comparative analysis highlights that effective anti-corruption strategies require more than robust legal frameworks—they depend on political will, institutional integrity, and active civic participation. This study contributes both theoretically and practically by bridging the gap between policy and enforcement, offering insights for reform strategies tailored to decentralized governance systems.

Abstract

Abstract Indonesia and Papua New Guinea (PNG) share one of the most complex land borders in the Asia-Pacific region, where questions of sovereignty, security, and indigenous identity frequently intersect. This article examines how legal legitimacy shapes regional governance in the context of Indonesia–PNG diplomatic relations. Using a qualitative legal approach combined with policy and document analysis, the study draws on treaties, bilateral agreements, official diplomatic statements, and domestic legal instruments. The research finds that although diplomatic ties have gradually improved, legal and institutional asymmetries continue to limit the effectiveness of cross-border cooperation, particularly in managing population mobility, informal trade, and localized conflict. Nevertheless, recent developments such as Indonesia’s BNPP coordination mechanism and PNG’s ongoing legal reform efforts indicate potential for a more coherent and legitimate governance framework. By focusing on an often-overlooked bilateral relationship, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of diplomacy at the regional margins and highlights the centrality of legal design in fostering sustainable and trust-based cooperation between neighboring states.
