This article describes about managing cyber threat by using the role of international institution. Cyber threat is borderless and state is hard to maintain its security in digital age. Managing cyber threat is not like arms control. It also cannot rely on realist’s self-help concept because the threat comes from state and non-state actor. In order to anticipate the threat, cooperation through international institution is very important. The state actor can share information and cooperate in managing the threat by using international institution. In South East Asia, ASEAN Economic Community must be supported by stable cyber environment. Indonesia and other members should work together to prevent any cyber threat that can jeopardize ASEAN Economic Community.

Pasca naiknya Presiden Trump ke tampuk kepresidenan Amerika Serikat (AS), negara tersebut mulai menjalankankan berbagai macam kebijakan yang bersifat inward looking. Presiden Trump yang disokong oleh Partai Republik berkeinginan untuk melakukan renegosiasi perdagangan dalam North America Free Trade Area (NAFTA). Kebijakan renegosiasi tersebut dimulai dari ketimpangan perdagangan yang dialami oleh AS yaitu neraca perdagangan negara tersebut terhadap Meksiko mengalami defisit. Hal inilah yang mendasari pemerintah AS untuk melakukan renegosiasi kesepakatan dagang dalam NAFTA yang dinilai memberatkan mereka. Kebijakan renegosiasi NAFTA tersebut tidak terlepas dari proses politik lembaga negara seperti eksekutif dan legislatif. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis unsur governmental sources dapat mempengaruhi proses kebijakan renegosiasi NAFTA tersebut. Metode yang digunakan dalam artikel ini adalah penelitian kualitatif dengan teknik penulisan studi kasus. Hasil analisis dalam artikel ini dapat dijelaskan bahwa unsur governmental sources seperti sistem pemerintahan, bentuk parlemen dan proses politik intra lembaga dalam pemerintah AS berperan penting terkait kebijakan renegosiasi NAFTA tersebut.

Massive technological advancements have influenced many dynamics of the nation's social, political, and economic changes. Geopolitical studies, as one of the studies that investigate the interaction between political dynamics and geography, are exposed to the implications of these technological developments. At the outset of its development, geopolitical studies discussed the state's strategies and policies for gaining influence in specific areas. Geopolitics is the study of a country's boundaries. The emergence of cyberspace, along with the advancement of technology, has implications for a country's geopolitical development. Geopolitical competition takes place not only in the physical realm, but also in cyberspace. The purpose of this article is to examine the shift in the geopolitical paradigm from physical to cyberspace. The authors examine how the existence of cyberspace can have a political impact, particularly geopolitical rivalries between countries, using geopolitics and cyberspace concepts. This scientific article investigates cyberspace phenomena and geopolitical studies using qualitative methods, particularly case study writing techniques. The author contends that geopolitics in cyberspace has no borders, based on the findings of this article's analysis. To avoid cyber conflicts, states must make cyberspace their political domain. Geopolitical rivalries between states in cyberspace can have real-world consequences. One of them is the use of technology to suppress other states' geopolitical policies. Because cyberspace is infinite, the state must develop governance so that the potential for cyber conflicts does not have physical consequences for the country's geopolitics. Given that almost all dynamics of state life have been integrated into information technology, the author concludes that cyberspace should be considered one of a state's geopolitical areas.

The agenda of Jokowi’s administration demands a strong measure to protect maritime security and sovereignty of Indonesia; especially its national sovereignty and maritime security in the vast boundary of Indonesian territorial waters. However, the implementation faces challenges related to violations of sovereignty in the territorial waters. One of them was due to the rampant illegal fishing activities that threaten the sufficiency of the fish stock. Exposed to such threat, Indonesia’s commitment to secure its maritime sovereignty was strongly projected by the emergence of a ‘Sink the Vessels’ policy by the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP), chaired by Susi Pudjiastuti since 2014. In the context of the South China Sea polemics which shows the relationship with the territorial waters of Indonesia in Natuna, the policy has significant implication to the South China Sea maritime geopolitics. The question is what the implications of the ‘Sink the Vessels’ policy toward maritime geopolitics in the South China Sea. Using structuration and geopolitics approaches, this article argues that Indonesia’s IUU Fishing policy enhances the complexity of maritime security in the South China Sea which ultimately leads to the strengthening of political realism behaviour among countries whom potential to conflict with Indonesia in the context of IUU Fishing in Natuna waters.

The emergence of coronavirus at the end of 2019 caused the world to fall into a global pandemic. It cannot be denied that the phenomenon of the Covid-19 pandemic caused a downturn in the global economy. The threat of the Covid-19 pandemic has endangered social aspects and has also destabilized the political and economic life of all countries. Covid-19 has an impact on human security around the world. The concept of human security essentially emphasizes human freedom from fear. Through the concept of human security, this article seeks to explain how people are classified as vulnerable objects. Their lives could be threatened by Covid-19. The author uses a qualitative methodology with case study techniques to address this issue. The analysis in this article shows that poor, undernourished people who do not have access to sanitation and health services live in densely populated areas and people with comorbidities are particularly vulnerable to exposure to Covid-19. The conclusion of this research is that the government needs to give priority to these vulnerable communities. They are the entities that need to be protected from the threat posed by Covid-19.AbstrakMunculnya virus corona di penghujung tahun 2019 menyebabkan dunia terjerumus ke dalam pandemi global. Tak bisa dipungkiri, fenomena pandemi Covid-19 menyebabkan perlambatan ekonomi global. Ancaman pandemi Covid-19 telah membahayakan aspek sosial dan juga mengguncang kehidupan politik dan ekonomi semua negara. Covid-19 berdampak pada keamanan manusia di seluruh dunia. Konsep keamanan manusia pada dasarnya menekankan kebebasan manusia dari rasa takut. Melalui konsep human security, artikel ini berusaha menjelaskan bagaimana manusia diklasifikasikan sebagai objek yang rentan. Hidup mereka bisa terancam oleh Covid-19. Penulis menggunakan metodologi kualitatif dengan teknik studi kasus untuk mengatasi masalah ini. Analisis dalam artikel ini menunjukkan bahwa orang miskin dan kurang gizi yang tidak memiliki akses ke sanitasi dan layanan kesehatan tinggal di daerah padat penduduk dan orang dengan penyakit penyerta sangat rentan terhadap paparan Covid-19. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah bahwa pemerintah perlu memberikan prioritas kepada masyarakat rentan tersebut. Mereka adalah entitas yang perlu dilindungi oleh pemerintah dari ancaman Covid-19.

This article aims to examine the issue of China's Belt Road Initiative (BRI) in the view of classical geopolitical theory. The theory basically appeared in the 19th century. The classical geopolitical theory used in this article is McKinder Theory and Mahan Theory. Nevertheless, the theory is still relevant enough to answer China's policy as well as what geopolitical advantages the country gains. By using qualitative research, classical geopolitical theory was used to examine China's BRI policy on the construction of terrestrial trade corridor passes through Eurasia region and maritime silk road which cross strategic waterway. This article concludes that when the project is implemented, China will not only benefit economically but also be able to change the geopolitical constellation of the world. Although it is still too early, the BRI project has the potential to make China as the next superpower.
