Abstract

This study analyzes the impact of Philippine-US counterterrorism cooperation in Mindanao during the period 2022–2023, using a neoliberal institutionalism approach and the concept of international regimes. The results show that cooperation between the two countries not only survived after the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, but actually intensified through the strengthening of legal frameworks such as EDCA, joint military exercises, and intelligence and capacity building support. This cooperation is symbiotic: the Philippines receives security and economic support, while the US strengthens its influence in the Indo-Pacific region. Although the counterterrorism approach is still dominated by military aspects, there are efforts to address the root causes of the conflict through civil-military programs. This study concludes that the institutionalized cooperation regime has succeeded in creating stability and trust, although its sustainability depends on the ability of both countries to integrate security approaches with economic development in Mindanao.

Abstract

Syria experienced a severe food crisis during 2021-2023 driven by to multiple overlapping crises; prolonged armed conflict since 2011, economic collapse, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the devasting February 2023 earthquake. This study analyzes the contribution of the World Food Programme (WFP) in addressing Syria’s food crisis during this period. Adopting a qualitative descriptive approach with document analysis techniques and a Neoliberal Institutionalism theoretical framework, this research examines WFP's programmes, operational strategies, and concrete contributions. Findings reveal that WFP reached 5.5 million people in 2023 through emergency food distribution (averaging 1,700 kcal/day), cash-based transfers for 1.5 million beneficiaries and nutrition programmes for 400,000 children and pregnant or lactating women. Despite a 37% funding gap, humanitarian access restrictions, and persistent security threats, WFP demonstrated adaptive capacity in responding to the crisis. This study contributes to understanding the role of international organizations in managing complex food crises in conflict-affected contexts, while also highlighting the structural limitations of donor-dependent assistance systems.

Abstract

The migration of Indonesian migrant workers to Japan has increased significantly in recent years, driven by Japan's labor shortages resulting from demographic decline and an aging society. Although often framed as a mutually beneficial economic cooperation, this migration also generates various vulnerabilities for Indonesian migrant workers in the destination country. This study aims to analyze the migration of Indonesian migrant workers to Japan within the human security framework. The findings indicate that Indonesian migrant workers in Japan face multidimensional threats, particularly in terms of personal security, economic security, and health security. Therefore, the human security approach provides a more comprehensive perspective by positioning migrant workers as the primary referent of security

Abstract

This study analyzes Netflix’s Narcos (2015-2017) as a cultural text representing transnational drug trafficking and the war on drugs narratives within International Relations frameworks. Employing qualitative interpretive analysis of selected episodes alongside International Relations and media scholarship, it reveals how the series personalizes complex structural dynamics for instance globalization-driven crime into charismatic antiheroes such as Pablo Escobar, portrays Colombian institutions as fragile and reliant on U.S. DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) agents, and reproduces securitized war on drugs discourses without challenging root causes such as Global North demand. These representations simplify transnational threats, mythologize violence as spectacle, and reinforce Global North-South asymmetries in security imaginaries
