Abstract

The United States of America as a super power, is able to create and build knowledge, 'reality', and global narratives that are trusted by the world community according to their interests. This is no exception in terms of terrorism. The purpose of this study is to explain how the discursive practices carried out by the US Government and media in building a global narrative related to terrorism through case studies of crimes committed by Ali Muhammad Brown and Stephen Craig Paddock. The method used in this research is a qualitative descriptive approach. This research is viewed from the perspective of poststructuralism which has not been found in previous studies. The result of this study is that the identification of who deserves the label of terrorist in the United States occurs only in Muslims and especially those who have people of color. This occurs as a result of the social construction that develops in global society through the discursive practices of the United States Government and Media. From the results of this study, it shows how discursive practice can be used in shaping existing reality and knowledge, so the discourse will contain different meanings depending on who interprets it. In addition from this research, it can be concluded that the reality and narrative as well as knowledge related to global terrorism are not free values but are biased towards political interests and are built by constructions and discursive practices developed by the ruling state.

Abstract

ABSTRACT2016 Abu Dhabi Declaration on Safeguarding Endangered Cultural Heritages is a historic site protection regime that focuses on areas of military conflict, especially the Middle East region. Focusing on France and Egypt as representatives of the initiator and participant countries, researchers sought to look at the country's position and response to the declaration, from its formation to post-signing developments to see the impact of the declaration on the issue of protecting historical sites in areas of military conflict, in particular through state analysis. Researchers used qualitative methods with case studies. This research uses literature studies to support the necessary data. Researchers use the international regime theory of Stephen D Krasner. The results showed that the 2016 Abu-Dhabi Declaration met the characteristics of the regime. However, the significance of the declaration has not been able to be seen given its morally binding nature and the limited situation of the relevant state interests and policies that result in the impact on the protection of historic sites has not been able to occur to the fullest. Although not legally binding, the declaration remains a guideline of values on which participating countries' commitments and progress are based on the issue of protecting historic sites in areas of long-term military conflict in the Middle-East Region.Keywords : national interest, role, regime, declaration, military conflict, historical sites

Abstract

Islamophobia has been rife in Europe, including in France, the emergence of Islamophobia has caused a lot of concern for Islamic communities in the world. The development of Islamophobic acts in France has resulted in a lot of chaos and negative sentiments by the world community, especially globally, towards French society. Until the emergence of Charlie Hebdo magazine which publishes a controversial article which is considered to be ridiculing the Prophet Muhammad, it has finally caused criticism for Muslims, especially in the Middle East. Muslims argue that what has been written in Charlie Hebdo magazine is blasphemy. Prophet Muhammad SAW is considered a role model for the Muslim community so no one should be able to give unfounded criticism. The people of the Middle East as a region with a Muslim majority finally responded to this phenomenon. In this paper, we will examine how the Middle East responds to the phenomenon carried out by Charlie Hebdo. This study uses the concept of a new social movement to see the movements carried out by the Middle East and the impact on the response of Muslim communities around the world.

Abstract

The Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel continues to this day, with many countries and international organizations supporting the action. Nonetheless, there is a country that prohibits such behavior and expresses its support for Israel in its fight against what is considered anti-Semitism. Austria is the name of that so-called country. The purpose of this research is to determine why Austria decided to support Israel in its fight against BDS using the Memory, Trauma and World Politics theory by Duncan Bell. The researcher gathered various supporting data from books, websites, international news, and official statements from the Austrian government using the literature review technique. This is an explanatory research that aims to discover the reasons why Austria supports Israel in its fight against BDS, which is related to the country's past history and existing trauma. The findings of this study show that there are memories and traumatic events in the past in the form of anti-Semitism against the Jewish community in Austria, which caused a sense of responsibility and solidarity from Austria towards Israel as an existing Jewish state. Austria's sense of responsibility and solidarity eventually encouraged the establishment of current policy.

Abstract

The theft of foreign shipwrecks that have sunk in Indonesian seas is one of the major cases of theft of underwater cultural heritage that occurs in the world. Apart from that, ship nations such as Australia, the Netherlands, England, and even the United States also expressed their disappointment with Indonesia, which was deemed incapable of protecting the legacy of their ancestors which was also considered as an underwater cultural heritage object. In this research, the researcher tries to examine the position and capability of Indonesia in the aspects of maritime security, both politically and domestically militarily. The author uses an analytic-qualitative method by comparing journals and case reports of shipwreck theft as the main method of this research. Using the theory of institutionalism, the author tries to explain Indonesia's position in international regimes such as UNESCO 1970 and 2001 for the protection of underwater cultural heritage as well as the concept of rational choice or rational choice to dissect Indonesia's reasons for taking this position. Using these methods and theories, the authors know that Indonesia does not want to ratify the UNESCO 1970 and 2001 regime due to domestic considerations, considerations of capability and sovereignty.

This research uses a desk research method with an explanative type.
