Abstract

AbstractThis paper aims to examine the extent to which ASEAN has attempted to securitize womens rights at the regional and state level. Securitization theory formulated by the Copenhagen School expounds a set of securitization process by which a certain issue can be categorized as a security issue that should be concerned. In securitization process, an issue should follow three stages: a) non-politicized; b) politicized; c) securitized. Speech act and the acceptance of audience are also paramount in the process. Throughout these steps, the extent to which ASEAN has put endeavor to securitize womens rights can be determined. At the regional level, attempts through declarations and commitments among member states can be analyzed to indicate ASEANs concrete endeavor to take into account womens rights as an issue that should be securitized. In the meantime, at the state level, Myanmar, a newly democratic country in Southeast Asia, will be analyzed. Womens rights in Myanmar are of grave concern and as a consequence, securitizing women issues especially the rights of women is of great importance. The limited role of ASEAN has nonetheless given consequences to the action given to a state. Myanmar has become a concrete example to show that ASEAN merely contributes an influence or encouragement to its member states to promote womens rights. Securitizing womens rights at the state level is arguably difficult due to the principle of non-interference that ASEAN has. Keywords: securitization theory, ASEAN, Myanmar, womens rightsAbstrakTulisan ini bertujuan untuk melihat sejauh mana ASEAN telah berusaha melakukan sekuritisasi terhadap hak-hak wanita di tingkat regional dan negara. Teori sekuritisasi yang dirumuskan oleh Copenhagen School menjelaskan secara terperinci tentang proses sekuritisasi di mana sebuah isu tertentu dapat dikategorikan sebagai isu keamanan yang perlu diperhatikan. Dalam proses sekuritisasi, sebuah isu perlu melalui tiga tahapan, yakni a) tidak dipolitisasi; b) dipolitisasi; c) sekuritisasi. Pidato dan penerimaan dari para pendengar isu juga merupakan hal penting dalam proses sekuritisasi. Melalui langkah-langkah ini, sejauh mana ASEAN telah berusaha untuk melakukan sekuritisasi terhadap isu hak-hak wanita dapat ditentukan. Di tingkat regional, upaya-upaya melalui deklarasi dan komitmen antarnegara anggota dapat dianalisis untuk melihat usaha nyata ASEAN dalam memperjuangkan hak-hak wanita sebagai isu yang perlu disekuritisasi. Di samping itu, di tingkat negara, Myanmar sebagai negara demokrasi baru di Asia Tenggara, akan dianalisis. Hak-hak wanita di Myanmar mendapat perhatian utama, sehingga sekuritisasi terhadap isu-isu hak-hak wanita merupakan hal yang penting. Namun, peran terbatas ASEAN memberikan konsekuensi dalam upaya sekuritisasi di tingkat negara. Myanmar merupakan contoh nyata untuk memperlihatkan bahwa upaya ASEAN dalam sekuritisasi hak-hak wanita hanya sebatas memberikan pengaruh atau dukungan. Melakukan sekuritisasi terhadap hak-hak wanita di tingkat negara dapat dikatakan sulit karena prinsip non-intervensi yang dimiliki ASEAN.Kata kunci: teori sekuritisasi, ASEAN, Myanmar, hak-hak wanita

Abstract

The history of the spice route has left a legacy in Indonesia and the rest of the world. To date, Indonesia continues to be a major global player in the spice trade. Pepper, nutmeg, cloves, mace, and cinnamon were the country’s primary exports. Food may foster cross-cultural understanding, which can enhance international cooperation and engagement. Thus, foods rich in spices can be an asset for Indonesia’s gastrodiplomacy. In collaboration with various non-state actors and coordinated by Indonesia‘s Coordinating Ministry of Maritime and Investment Affairs, the Indonesian government has developed an ambitious gastrodiplomacy strategy called ”Indonesia Spice Up the World” (ISUTW). Despite possible hurdles, Australia and Africa could be potential markets for further implementation of ISUTW. The research aims to answer the following questions: 1) To what extent has Indonesia promoted its spice-based gastrodiplomacy? and 2) What are the opportunities and challenges of Indonesia‘s spice-based gastrodiplomacy for the Australian and African markets? The research employs a mixed-method approach, including surveys to gather data about Indonesian cuisine businesses operating in Australia. This research incorporates a literature analysis, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions with both state and non-state actors to strengthen the study, particularly in the context of the African market. Indonesia's gastrodiplomacy strategy, centered around spices, is suggested to prioritize Australia and Africa by leveraging cultural connections and existing market presence to effectively promote Indonesian gastronomy globally.

Abstract

Unprecedented COVID-19 global pandemic entails uncertain conditions, which lead people to seek alternative solutions to make activities running accordingly. Limited movements due to travel restriction and health protection confine people’s activities, including the research process. Postponing research activities is arguably not the best solution for scholars, mainly while conducting data collection. In social and humanities research, researchers mostly undertake data collection through field studies and face-to-face communications prior to the pandemic. Social distancing procedures, however, encourage people to avoid close contacts and cancel visit plans. Thus, researchers are necessary to find an alternative method during uncertainty situation. Digital research method (DRM) seems to be a plausible way to keep research ongoing, although the implementation of that method in the developing countries’ research activities, compared to the developed countries, remains lagging behind. This research aims to position DRM amidst the pandemic situation and show possibilities in using this method as an alternative in the developing countries by taking Indonesia as a case study. Results show that to make DRM works in Indonesia, some requirements need to be fulfilled to meet academic standards, and whether relevant or not the research topic applies to be processed utilizing digital method are also essential to be considered.
