Abstract

In 2014 Indonesian Presidential Election, Joko Widodo promised to give a priority in the issue of Indonesian migrant workers, especially in Malaysia. This was basically part of Jokowi’s program to protect Indonesian citizens abroad. In Malaysia, Indonesian migrant workers have involved into various problems and cases. Therefore, this article attempts to examine Jokowi’s administration related to Indonesian migrant workers in Malaysia and its impact to both countries bilateral relations. Both countries obviously gained many advantages from the influx of Indonesian migrant workers in Malaysia. The migrant workers remittance is one of the largest revenue for Indonesian government. As for Malaysia, the presence of Indonesian migrant workers highly contributed to the national economy amid lack of interest of Malaysian citizens to such kind of “dirty jobs.” Hence, this article invites readers into the comprehensive discussion on migrant workers issue and Indonesia-Malaysia relations, especially during the first half of Jokowi’s tenure of the office.

Abstract

This study describes Indonesia's strategy to ensure children's participation through the National Children's Forum policy. Based on the significant increase in the fulfillment of children's participation rights in Indonesia in the 2018-2022 timeframe and seeing the position of the National Children's Forum (FAN) as a forum and meeting place that discusses children that are attended directly by the only children at the national level who directly or indirectly have the power to be able to provide input on policies regarding the fulfillment of children's rights and protection at the national level to the Indonesian government. The research method used in this study is descriptive qualitative research, which uses interview methods and a literature review to describe the behavior of events in detail based on facts. These are then analyzed to reach analytical conclusions to the research questions. The findings of this research show that Indonesia's policies in guaranteeing children's participation rights include the establishment of the National Children's Forum by the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection. These efforts include regulations, indicators of Child-Friendly Districts/Cities, and the establishment of Children's Forums down to the village level. The Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection also involves families, schools, and communities through special programs. Indonesia is active in regional and international forums, such as the ACF, which influence the formation of policies related to children's rights. These strategies demonstrate Indonesia's commitment to realizing child participation at various levels.

Abstract

The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) occupies a central position in global governance as the primary institution responsible for maintaining international peace and security. Despite its extensive legal authority, the effectiveness of the UNSC has been persistently questioned, particularly in addressing protracted humanitarian conflicts. This study examines the effectiveness of the UNSC in global governance by focusing on the Palestine-Israel conflict as a critical case that reflects broader structural and political constraints within the Council. Employing a qualitative library research method, this study analyzes official United Nations documents, including UNSC resolutions, voting records, and meeting reports, alongside peer-reviewed academic literature and policy reports from international organizations and non-governmental organizations. The analysis is guided by realism and neoliberal institutionalism as complementary theoretical frameworks to explain the interaction between power politics and institutional mechanisms within the UNSC. The findings indicate that the effectiveness of the UNSC is significantly hindered by the veto power of the permanent members, particularly when national interests override humanitarian considerations. Nevertheless, the UNSC continues to function as an important normative forum that facilitates dialogues and sustains international legal and moral frameworks for conflict resolution. This study argues that without meaningful institutional reform and greater inclusivity, the UNSC’s role in global governance will remain normatively influential but operationally limited.

Abstract

During President Trump's first term, he declared a US-China trade war, which formed numerous opportunities for developing countries. It also urges multinational corporations to relocate their manufacturing factories outside of the US-China region to prevent further increasing tariff. This study used "the dependency theory" to understand that Indonesia is the biggest economy in ASEAN, despite Nigeria and South Africa as the largest economies in Africa.  As Sierra Leone's geographical position connects South America, Africa, and Asia by Sea, but they did not have any significant advantages during the trade war, in comparison to Vietnam. Therefore, this study compares and analyzes two forms of policy competition, Incentives-Based (IBC) and Rules-Based (RBC), to solve the issue of how these Global South nations should benefit from the Trump tariff war. Using qualitative and quantitative methods, it examines the opportunities for the tariff wars ahead between developed countries, which may lead to another great recession. As the results, this study shows that policies do not accommodate to investors as those in Vietnam, whose population is smaller than Indonesia's. Obviously, Nigeria is serving as an alternative for investment, increasing its GDP and creating a favorable public perception of free trade.

Abstract

This study examines Indonesia's response to external economic shocks triggered by the Russia–Ukraine War from 2020 to 2025. It follows a phased process of market acclimatization and periodic economic resilience. Grounded in the theory of economic resilience—encompassing absorptive, adaptive, and transformative capacities—and perspectives on global supply chain restructuring, the research employs a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach. The analysis utilizes secondary trade data from TradeMap and SatuData (Ministry of Trade), exchange rate statistics from Bank Indonesia, and official trade and food policy documents to trace shifts in commodity flows, import structures, and policy responses. The findings indicate a sequential trajectory of resilience. Initial financial stabilization, reflecting absorptive capacity, occurred from 2020 to 2021. This was followed by policy recalibration, demonstrated through subsidy adjustments and import diversification, which showcased adaptive capacity from 2022 to 2023. Finally, between 2024 and 2025, structural reforms in trade configuration and food diversification signified the emergence of transformative capacity. These results suggest that Indonesia's response evolved from short-term stabilization towards progressively institutionalized economic resilience
