Abstract

This study explores Taiwan-Indonesia bilateral cooperation strategies in fostering interdependence through people-to-people connectivity during 2016–2024, influenced by Taiwan's New Southbound Policy. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and secondary data, the research highlights Taiwan's initiatives, including scholarship programs, visa facilitation, Muslim-friendly tourism promotion, and protections for Indonesian migrant workers. These efforts have strengthened social, cultural, and educational ties between the two nations. The findings show that these strategies significantly enhance bilateral relations, offering Indonesia opportunities for human resource development and improved migrant worker welfare, while Taiwan deepens its connectivity with a key ASEAN partner. Despite these advancements, Indonesia's adherence to the One China Policy imposes diplomatic constraints, limiting formal interactions and collaborations. The study concludes that people-to-people connectivity is a vital component of Taiwan-Indonesia bilateral relations, fostering mutually beneficial interdependence. It recommends further policy innovations to enhance social and cultural exchanges, ensuring the sustainability of bilateral collaboration.

Abstract

The Israel-Palestine conflict, one of the most complex and protracted international disputes, has been profoundly shaped by media representations that influence public opinion and international relations. This study identifies three key factors shaping narratives through mainstream and social media: (i) Western mainstream media bias favoring Israel, (ii) the use of emotional language and selective reporting, and (iii) the rise of social media activism, exemplified by campaigns such as “All Eyes on Rafah”, which amplify marginalized Palestinian voices. Using a qualitative descriptive approach based on Creswell’s framework, the research explores the existence and interaction of these factors in shaping media roles. The study highlights the dynamic interplay between media narratives, public opinion, and foreign policy-making, shaped by historical context, social values, and norms. Findings reveal that while mainstream media historically demonstrate bias and selective framing, social media platforms create space for counter-narratives and more diverse perspectives. This analysis provides deeper insight into how these three factors collectively construct media discourse and potentially influence global public opinion and policy responses to the Israel-Palestine conflict. Konflik Israel-Palestina, sebagai salah satu sengketa internasional paling kompleks dan berkepanjangan, sangat dipengaruhi oleh representasi media yang membentuk opini publik dan hubungan internasional. Penelitian ini mengidentifikasi tiga faktor utama yang memengaruhi narasi melalui media arus utama dan media sosial: (i) bias media arus utama Barat yang cenderung mendukung Israel, (ii) penggunaan bahasa emosional dan pelaporan yang selektif, serta (iii) munculnya aktivisme media sosial yang dicontohkan oleh kampanye “All Eyes on Rafah” yang memperkuat suara-suara Palestina yang termarginalkan. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif berdasarkan kerangka Creswell, penelitian ini menelaah keberadaan dan interaksi ketiga faktor tersebut dalam membentuk peran media. Studi ini menekankan interaksi dinamis antara narasi media, opini publik, dan pembuatan kebijakan luar negeri yang dipengaruhi konteks historis, nilai sosial, dan norma. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa meskipun media arus utama secara historis menampilkan bias dan pembingkaian selektif, media sosial menyediakan ruang bagi narasi tandingan dan perspektif yang lebih beragam. Analisis ini memberikan pemahaman yang lebih mendalam mengenai bagaimana ketiga faktor tersebut secara kolektif membentuk wacana media serta berpotensi memengaruhi opini publik global dan respons kebijakan terhadap konflik Israel-Palestina.

Abstract

This study explores how the City of Bandung employed paradiplomacy, particularly through sister city cooperation with Suwon (South Korea) and Liuzhou (China), to respond to urgent healthcare shortages during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using qualitative documentary analysis of government archives, official communications, media coverage, and academic sources, the study shows how Bandung mobilized long-standing international networks to secure 30,000 donated masks, directly alleviating local scarcity at a critical moment. More than symbolic engagement, this cooperation demonstrated that institutionalized paradiplomacy can function as an operational mechanism for crisis response, complementing national strategies and strengthening multilevel governance. The findings highlight Bandung’s proactive international outreach as a practical contribution with tangible health benefits, while also underscoring the broader theoretical relevance of paradiplomacy as part of global governance frameworks. Ultimately, the case illustrates the value of sister city diplomacy not only for emergency relief but also as a replicable model for enhancing resilience and adaptive local governance in wider development contexts.
