Abstract

The South African region with its large population is an attraction for Indonesia to be used as an alternative (non-traditional) market share. Indonesia's economic diplomacy was then directed to the African Region. This research aims to analyze the implementation of Indonesia's economic diplomacy in the African region, especially in Egypt and South Africa, in order to expand economic cooperation and increase Indonesia's influence at the global level. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive analysis approach. This research uses data collection techniques through secondary data (literature studies) obtained from journal articles, books, media and so on. This article uses the theory or concept of economic diplomacy. The results of the study show that Indonesia's proactive economic diplomacy efforts in the African region, especially Egypt and South Africa, have an impact on Indonesia's economy. Economic diplomacy in the African region is carried out not only bilaterally, but also multilaterally, for example the Indonesia-Africa Forum. Not only does it have an impact on the economy, it is also political, such as increasing Indonesia's bargaining power or influence in the African region and in the international world.

Abstract

This study examines how anime and East Asian animation function as instruments of cultural diplomacy and soft power within the framework of behavioral political economy. Specifically, it investigates the mechanisms through which Japan, South Korea, and China leverage animated cultural products to project influence, shape audience behavior, and generate economic returns in global markets. Employing a qualitative approach through comparative analysis and systematic literature review, this research draws on industry reports, peer-reviewed journals, and policy documents to trace anime's historical development, international market penetration, and its role within the Cool Japan Initiative and Hallyu Wave. The findings reveal that anime operates as a dynamic form of cultural behavioral multilateralism, wherein global audiences do not passively receive Japanese cultural content but actively reinterpret and localize it, generating reciprocal flows of influence. Comparatively, South Korea has repositioned itself from subcontractor to global IP producer, while China has pursued state-backed domestic consolidation as its primary model of cultural expansion. Economically, East Asian animation diversifies national revenue through streaming, merchandising, and licensing, while politically it sustains cross-cultural dialogue and soft power leverage even in diplomatically strained bilateral contexts. These findings suggest that animation in East Asia functions simultaneously as an economic motor and a geopolitical asset whose influence is co-produced between origin states and global audiences.

Abstract

Globalization has created significant pressures on the preservation of traditional textile heritage in Indonesia and South Korea. This study examines the preservation strategies of Nokanibira (Nias batik worn in Hombo Batu traditions) and Garot (persimmon-dyed Jeju specialized hanbok), two textile heritages representing local cultural identity amid modernization currents. Using a qualitative approach with the Most Similar System Design (MSSD) comparative method, this research analyzes fundamental differences in preservation approaches between these two textile traditions. Findings reveal that Nokanibira persists through community-based efforts with limited institutional support, while Garot benefits from structured state policies, infrastructure investment, and integration into Jeju's regional development strategies. Although both traditions face similar challenges from global cultural homogenization, differences in institutionalization levels, state roles, and creative economy strategies result in varying degrees of preservation success. This research provides important insights into how comprehensive cultural policies can strengthen the resilience of traditional textile heritage in the globalization era.

Abstract

This community engagement program focuses on improving storytelling competence and basic digital literacy among Sunday School teachers and youth at GKI Kwitang Bajem Cililitan, East Jakarta. The program was implemented through interdisciplinary collaboration between the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences and the Faculty of Letters and Languages, integrating social communication perspectives with literary and creative approaches. The main challenges identified were limited creative storytelling techniques and insufficient technical skills in using digital presentation media to support worship and educational activities. The methods applied included participatory training, hands-on workshops, storytelling simulations using puppet stages, and basic PowerPoint operation training for worship presentations. Program implementation emphasized practical skill development through guided practice and direct evaluation. The results show that participants were able to deliver stories more effectively, demonstrate improved narrative confidence, and operate presentation media with greater accuracy during church services. Audience engagement during Sunday School sessions also increased as storytelling became more interactive and visually supported. In conclusion, the integration of storytelling training and basic digital literacy proved effective in enhancing communication skills and youth participation within a faith-based community. This program contributes to sustainable community empowerment by strengthening creative expression and technical support for religious and educational activities.
