Abstract

The revival of Global South studies in International Relations signifies a major transformation in contemporary global dynamics. This article addresses the question of how China appropriates the Global South narrative and how this shift reflects both coloniality of power and heterarchy of power. Using a discourse analysis approach, the study examines official speeches, policy documents, and global initiatives such as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), BRICS, and the G77+China. The findings demonstrate that China employs South-South solidarity rhetoric to position itself as the leader of the Global South, yet in practice reproduces coloniality by creating new forms of dependency. Furthermore, the contemporary Global South reveals a heterarchical structure, where emerging powers such as China dominate smaller states. This indicates a shift in the meaning of the Global South: from the Bandung Spirit’s emancipatory ethos of anti-imperialism toward a pragmatic economic-political bloc driven by national interests. Thus, the revival of the Global South is paradoxical: it offers new opportunities for multipolarity among developing countries, while simultaneously undermining the emancipatory ideals of solidarity and equality that once defined the Bandung Spirit. Keywords: Global South; Bandung Spirit; China; Coloniality of Power; Heterarchy of Power Kebangkitan kembali kajian Global South dalam studi Hubungan Internasional menandai transformasi penting dalam dinamika global kontemporer. Artikel ini berangkat dari pertanyaan mengenai bagaimana China mengapropriasi wacana Global South dan bagaimana pergeseran makna ini mencerminkan kolonialitas dan heterarki kuasa. Dengan menggunakan metode analisis wacana, penelitian ini menelaah pidato resmi, dokumen kebijakan, serta inisiatif global seperti Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), BRICS, dan G77+China. Temuan pada penelitian menunjukkan bahwa China menggunakan retorika solidaritas selatan untuk memosisikan dirinya sebagai pemimpin Global South, namun praktiknya mereproduksi logika kolonialitas dengan menciptakan relasi ketergantungan baru. Selain itu, Global South kontemporer memperlihatkan struktur heterarki emerging powers seperti China menempati posisi dominan atas negara-negara kecil. Hal ini mengindikasikan adanya pergeseran makna Global South: dari spirit emansipatoris Bandung yang menolak imperialisme, menuju blok ekonomi-politik pragmatis yang sarat kepentingan nasional China. Dengan demikian, kebangkitan Global South bersifat paradoksal: membuka ruang multipolaritas baru bagi negara-negara berkembang, tetapi sekaligus mengikis nilai-nilai emansipasi dan kesetaraan yang menjadi fondasi Bandung Spirit. Kata-kata Kunci: Global South; Bandung Spirit; China; Kolonialitas Kekuasaan; Heterarki Kekuasaan

Abstract

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Palestine, has forced international actors to take a stand to promote humanitarian diplomacy, including Indonesia. During Prabowo Subianto’s administration, Indonesia interacted with other countries to formulate humanitarian policies to help the people of Gaza, one of which was the option of temporarily relocating the people of Gaza. This study attempts to rationalise the decision to relocate Gazans temporarily by using Larry Minear and Hazel Smith’s humanitarian diplomacy framework through three approaches: oxymoron, common sense, and a necessary evil. In addition, this study uses a literature review and analysis of news reports and speeches from official statements by the Indonesian government. The results indicate that this decision is controversial. The relocation policy contradicts two aspects: the mandate of the Indonesian Constitution and the desire of the Palestinian people to remain on the land where they have been fighting to defend their rights. However, within the framework of humanitarian diplomacy, the temporary relocation response is a pragmatic foreign policy decision by Indonesia that could be beneficial in advancing humanitarian diplomacy. With the logic of a two-state solution, Indonesia is following the steps of several Western countries and countries in the Middle East to open up adequate space for negotiation, one of which is by recognising Israel as a sovereign state when Palestine is recognised as independent. This policy also positively impacts more open access to aid, which can be effectively distributed directly to war victims. This article concludes that the humanitarian agenda has limited effects because political factors influence the continuity of humanitarian diplomacy in a crisis-affected region.

Abstract

Background: Program pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan meningkatkan literasi dan keterampilan dasar Pertolongan Pertama pada Kecelakaan (P3K) berbasis keluarga di Kelurahan Pulo Kerto Kecamatan Gandus Kota Palembang. Latar belakang program PKM adalah rendahnya akses pelatihan P3K dan masih ditemukannya praktik penanganan tradisional yang berisiko dalam rumah tangga. Metode: Kegiatan dilaksanakan dengan pendekatan partisipatif melalui lima tahapan, yaitu: (1) sosialisasi urgensi P3K di tingkat keluarga; (2) pelatihan dan simulasi penanganan kondisi darurat umum (misalkan luka terbuka, luka bakar, tersedak, cedera muskuloskeletal); (3) penyediaan media edukasi visual (leaflet dan video) serta kotak P3K sederhana; (4) pendampingan rumah tangga untuk mendorong praktik mandiri; dan (5) perencanaan keberlanjutan melalui integrasi ke kegiatan PKK dan rencana pembentukan kader siaga keluarga. Hasil: Indikator efektivitas program pengabdian diukur melalui umpan balik peserta, perubahan pengetahuan dan praktik kesehatan, serta tingkat partisipasi dalam kegiatan. Luaran yang dicapai meliputi terlaksananya pelatihan dengan simulasi, tersusunnya serta terdistribusinya media edukasi yang dimanfaatkan warga, serta peningkatan kesadaran dan adopsi praktik P3K yang lebih tepat menurut observasi dan umpan balik peserta. Kesimpulan: Program ini menunjukkan bahwa model edukasi P3K berbasis keluarga dengan dukungan media visual efektif diterapkan pada konteks sumber daya terbatas, sekaligus berkontribusi pada pencapaian SDG 3 (kesehatan), SDG 4 (pendidikan berkualitas), dan SDG 5 (kesetaraan gender).
