Abstract

This paper highlights the transnational crime issues that have threatened Indonesia’s maritime security in recent years, then explores the possible challenges and how Indonesia has improved its response to these issues. Major acts that have affected Indonesia's maritime security include the Abu Sayyaf terrorist group, illegal actions by Vietnamese, Malaysian, and Singaporean fishermen, smuggling and human trafficking by Captain Bram, as well as drug trafficking that has developed during the COVID-19 pandemic. From the issue of illegal fishing only, Indonesia has suffered a loss of 477.33 million USD in 2014-2021. Many obstacles limit efforts to find solutions, a combination of internal factors such as Indonesia's lack of quality resources, and external factors such as maritime border disputes and the absence of clear definitions to assess maritime security conditions in various international cooperation. Our government has responded by initiating several national resource development plans, such as the establishment of Bakamla, implementation of presidential regulation no. 16 of 2017, developing infrastructures such as sea tolls and port renewal, as well as created cooperative relationships with various countries, namely Australia, the Philippines, Malaysia, China and other countries in the Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean regions. Consequently, a trusting relationship with good communication can be formed between Indonesia and other countries to address threats to maritime security and reduce the number of transnational crimes in Indonesian waters, although not yet in large numbers.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the role of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) as a sub-regional organization in the Middle East region towards the settlement of the Qatar-Saudi Arabia conflict and the Qatar-Saudi Arabia conflict resolution strategy within the GCC Framework. The method used in this research is descriptive method with data collection techniques in the form of literature review sourced from books, journals, articles, official internet sites, and reports related to this research.The results of this study indicate that the GCC acts as an instrument for the Gulf countries to achieve their national goals. One of them is in the process of conflict resolution. The GCC acts as an arena where conflict resolution efforts between GCC member countries are mediated through the implementation of the 38th Summit to the 41st Summit. The Qatar-Saudi Arabia conflict resolution strategy within the GCC Framework was initiated by the GCC member countries, namely Kuwait and Oman. The two countries continue to maintain good relations with Qatar and resolve GCC internal disputes by establishing mediation between Qatar and Arab countries.

Abstract

This article examines how climate change has shifted from being framed primarily as an environmental problem to functioning as an instrument of power, diplomacy, and strategic influence among major powers in the Indo-Pacific region. The study adopts a qualitative comparative case study design based on structured, focused comparison of three cases, namely the United States, China, and the European Union. Each cases analysed through the same four analytical dimensions of climate geopolitics: policy instrument, material power base, institutional and normative channel, and effect on the strategic autonomy of recipient states. The findings show that the United States integrates climate resilience into its Indo-Pacific security architecture through humanitarian assistance and disaster diplomacy. In contrast, China leverages the Green Belt and Road Initiative to expand economic and technological influence, while the European Union exercises regulatory and normative power through the Global Gateway and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. The comparison shows that these three actors converge in treating climate cooperation as a channel of influence but diverge in the material base of that influence, namely logistical capacity, supply-chain and financing dominance, and market-regulatory reach. This divergence is best explained by comparative advantage rather than by three distinct designs for regional dominance. The article further distinguishes declared strategic intent, which is traceable in official documents, from geopolitical consequence, which may arise irrespective of intent, and therefore does not treat all climate cooperation as deliberate manipulation. These strategies address climate risks while simultaneously generating new dependencies and bargaining dynamics for Indo-Pacific states.
