Abstract

This article examines the Myanmar government’s illiberal peacebuilding practices in addressing the ongoing conflict with the Karen ethnic group. Using qualitative descriptive methods and a literature review, the author analyzes the dynamics of the relationship between the state and the Karen ethnic group, examining how security strategies, co-optation, and discriminatory policies are employed to suppress resistance. Using Comparative Historical Analysis as its method, this article will discuss the issue of this conflict from 2015 to 2021. The study shows that the 2015 nationwide ceasefire agreement failed to achieve inclusive peace; the Myanmar government prioritized stability and territorial control through repressive actions, human rights violations, and the implementation of the “Four Cuts” military strategy. The practice of media censorship, journalism, and the dissemination of false information further strengthened the regime’s illiberal character. The author concludes that although this strategy temporarily reduced the intensity of open conflict, Myanmar successfully implemented illiberal peacebuilding procedurally but failed to achieve genuine justice and reconciliation for the Karen ethnic group. The conflict continues and is prone to escalation, demonstrating that a false peace without democracy and substantive justice will always be fragile in Myanmar.

Abstract

This article explores the intersection of the processes and dynamics of democratic regression, illiberal peacebuilding and path dependence in the?context of the Guyana-Venezuela territorial dispute for the Essequibo region. It was based on colonial era resentment, and has been worsened by the oil discovery - it speaks?to different but equally implacable forms of conflict resolution. Venezuela uses nationalist mobilization and autocratic means for domestic hegemony, while its partner Guyana resorts to technocratic legalism?in the form of international adjudication, all too often avoiding broad-based public participation. The analysis employs a qualitative comparative-historical analysis (CHA) within an HI approach to demonstrate how path?dependent institutional behavior influences state response to geopolitical disputes. The study makes comparisons to other international disputes, including Russia's forcible annexation of Crimea and China's construction works?in the South China Sea, with a view to illustrating how territorial conflicts can be exploited by illiberal regimes. The evidence indicates that procedural?democracy without participation and overt authoritarianism support the erosion of democratic governance. The article argues in favour of transparent, inclusive and?participatory peace-building approaches with regional organizations and impartial mediators. It maintains?that a sustainable solution to conflict must harmonize legal structures and democratic values when dealing with territorial disputes and domestic challenges to regime legitimacy in the Latin American context.

Abstract

Stunting is a significant nutritional issue that hinders children's ability to reach their full growth potential. In Indonesia, it remains a national priority, with Muncar District in Banyuwangi Regency having the highest prevalence of stunting, a situation worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic. The primary contributing factors include a widespread lack of awareness of proper nutrition and a misalignment between community needs and the intervention strategies implemented by the Banyuwangi Regency government. Additionally, the Banyuwangi Regency is one of Indonesia's largest sources of migrant workers, exacerbating stunting vulnerabilities among left-behind children due to parental absence and limited knowledge of nutrition and parenting. To address this gap, the initiative aimed to enhance migrant parents' awareness and understanding of proper nutritional practices, thereby supporting their children's growth and development. This community service program was conducted in collaboration with the Banyuwangi Regency Manpower, Transmigration and Industry Service, Banyuwangi College of Health Sciences, and Muncar District Government. It comprised three core sessions: education on Clean and Healthy Lifestyle Behavior (CHLB); Nutritious, Diverse, Balanced, and Safe (B2SA) food; and a workshop on utilizing local ingredients to create stunting-preventive meals. The program yielded significant outcomes, with 20 parents participating and demonstrating an improved understanding of CHLB and B2SA foods, along with practical skills in preparing nutritious meals using local ingredients. This initiative serves as a foundational strategy for reducing stunting in the Muncar District and contributes to Indonesia’s broader efforts to mitigate this nutritional issue.
