Abstract

Since Bozizé led the CAR from March 15, 2003, to March 24, 2013, there has been resistance from some of the rebel forces. The rebellion continues because of the economic and political weaknesses in the CAR government. One of them comes from an opposition coalition known as Séléka who staged a rebellion in 2013 with the aim of overthrowing the Bozizé regime. After the fall of Bozizé, CAR's condition has worsened because Séléka rebels have committed gross human rights violations in the CAR. This is where the conflict develops from the conflict that was originally just a conflict of government-opposition, then widened and turned to religious conflicts. As a result, questions arise about the efforts and involvement of third parties in conflict resolution within the CAR and the social impacts of the conflict. This article attempts to answer questions which focuses on the involvement of third parties as peacekeepers in conflict areas. In this case, the authors use qualitative research methods in the form of literature studies such as books, journals, and scientific articles in supporting the final explanation. The result of this paper shows that the failure of Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) as a peacekeeping force in the conflict in CAR in 2013-2015 is caused by human rights violation in the form of sexual exploitation. This has had a social impact on the lives of communities, especially women and children, suffer from physical and mental trauma resulting from conflict and become victims of human rights violations committed by MINUSCA.

Abstract

This paper aims to explain the impact of globalization on Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) agreement between European Union (EU) and United States (US). Regarding its implementation, TTIP received negative response. The main policies in TTIP agreement will burden the access of Europeans' businesses to compete on local and national scale. Through the free market, Made in America products will enter the European market, which will certainly cause a decline in demand for Europeans’ local products. As a result, the Europeans believed that benefits of TTIP only be felt by a few people. This paper attempts to explain the problem using the theory of foreign policy and the theory of globalization. The author uses qualitative research methods with data collection techniques through literature studies. The results of this paper show that Europeans considered TTIP agreement as a form of hegemony from private corporations to the governments of EU countries as an impact of globalization process. This criticism has finally become a challenge for EU national authorities to implementing the TTIP so that this agreement postponed in October 2016 and still has not continued until now.
