Abstract

The cultural disputes between Indonesia and Malaysia are no longer mere arguments over the origins of batik, reog, or rendang; they mirror a deeper struggle for symbols and meaning within Southeast Asia’s socio-political landscape. Beneath the rhetoric of kinship lies tension over who holds the right to define “heritage” and whose story is recognized by the world. This study explores the symbolic dimensions of these cultural conflicts through a qualitative, literature-based approach that examines media narratives, diplomatic practices, and international legal frameworks. The findings reveal that cultural claims function as political instruments to assert national identity, yet simultaneously open spaces for negotiation and solidarity. When law and diplomacy fall short, culture becomes a living arena where nations contest dignity, memory, and belonging. Within this context, the concept of Shared Culture Diplomacy offers a middle path, inviting both nations to celebrate, rather than contest, their intertwined heritage as a testament to a broader fraternity beyond state boundaries.

Abstract

On July 31, 2025, Myanmar’s military junta, the State Administration Council (SAC), officially ended the state of emergency imposed since the February 1, 2021 coup, which ousted Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy (NLD) government. This move, accompanied by plans for a caretaker administration and elections scheduled for December 28, 2025, and January 2026, is framed as a transition to democracy. However, this study, grounded in Hans Morgenthau’s Political Realism, argues it is a strategic maneuver to consolidate military power amid domestic resistance, ethnic conflicts, and international pressure. The coup, justified by alleged electoral fraud despite lacking evidence, triggered widespread civil unrest, armed conflict, and a humanitarian crisis, displacing millions. Using a qualitative descriptive method with a literature review, this research analyzes lhistorical context, junta strategies, potential electoral injustices, international responses, and regional stability impacts. Key theory  realist indicators: Balance of Power, Self-Interest and Survival, and International Anarchy reveal how the junta leverages alliances (e.g., with China) to counter Western sanctions, prioritizes survival over human rights, and exploits a fragmented global response. Findings suggest the elections may deepen ethnic divisions and instability, challenging ASEAN’s non-interference stance and highlighting the fragility of democratic transitions in Southeast Asia. The study calls for enhanced international pressure and inclusive dialogue to avert prolonged conflict.

Abstract

The This study analyzes the geopolitics behind the Ambalat Block dispute between Indonesia and Malaysia using a descriptive qualitative approach and a literature review (2019–2025). The study examines historical context, international legal frameworks, domestic political influences, resource-driven incentives (oil and gas), and dispute-settlement options including bilateral negotiation, arbitration, and joint development. Findings indicate that economic interests, domestic politics, and technical uncertainties necessitate pragmatic cooperative mechanisms such as joint development and strengthened maritime legal documentation. Recommendations include comprehensive baseline registration, enhanced technical diplomacy, and inter-agency confidence-building
