Abstract

This research analyzes Brazil's diplomatic strategy for overcoming the problem of deforestation in the Amazon rainforest. The Amazon region is an essential part of the environment, which is a centre of biodiversity and contributes to the environment through carbon absorption. The deforestation problem that occurs in the Amazon region has a significant impact not only on Brazil but also globally. This is what underlies various international criticisms of Brazil, so it needs to be responded to diplomatically. By using qualitative methods and the concept of environmental diplomacy, this research finds that Brazil operates in four main strategies that represent the dynamics of environmental diplomacy practice. The strategy includes a commitment to achieving zero deforestation, holding meetings with Latin American countries to discuss the Amazon crisis, using the summit forum to negotiate with the United States in cooperation to overcome deforestation, and responding to trade demands from European countries that discriminate against Brazilian trade products. This response shows that basically Brazil is committed to realizing environmental preservation. However, there is a contradiction caused by Brazil's condition, which still needs to develop its economy amidst the current crisis. Therefore, the practice of environmental diplomacy is taken to become a momentum in raising awareness of the environment with the policies implemented by Brazil.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze mutually reinforcing relations between climate change and interfaith harmony. Interfaith peace in the context of climate change can be created more effectively by building harmony and peace in Indonesia as a plural state because alleviation is no longer segmented to faith-based efforts alone. This research uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach. Based on the conceptual framework of environmental peacebuilding, this study found four important points: (1) climate change and interfaith harmony are mutually reinforcing; and (2) the shift from a faith-based approach to interfaith-based approach represents a more effective Environmental Peacebuilding effort (3) The existence of bottom-up initiatives executed in the frame of interfaith cooperation shows that the role of local communities is increasingly significant in environmental peacebuilding efforts in Indonesia. (4) Interfaith communities can conduct advocacy to build a more critical society by addressing national development that intersects with environmental interests.

Abstract

As a minority, Tibetans struggle to realize self-determination amidst the onslaught of oppression by China so that they can achieve freedom. Using a constructivist approach, this research analyzes China's dynamics in suppressing the fulfillment of Tibetan self-determination. The suppression carried out by China represents its more assertive position in the problems in Tibet, as well as being an idea that shows the interest in aligning Chinese identity, which makes the problems of minority groups a threat of separatism. The findings of this research include several main notes. China has succeeded in suppressing Tibet's position through various actions ranging from strengthening constructions related to Tibetan history and identity that can benefit its internal position, emphasizing securitization in the Tibetan issue to expand its sovereignty in peripheral areas, practicing modern colonialism, and strengthening the practice of particularism and creating a "New Era of China" that can limit Tibetan society. Thus, the self-determination that the Tibetan people want to achieve will only be an unrealizable wishful thinking.
