Abstract

This study delves into the intricate digital geopolitical dynamics surrounding the contentious relationship between TikTok and the United States (US) by employing the lens of cyber realism. The analysis focuses on the intricate interplay of digital anarchy, security dilemmas, and digital hegemony between the two entities. TikTok, originating from a Chinese company, faces scrutiny due to perceived threats to security and privacy. Within the framework of digital anarchy, characterized by the absence of a central governing authority in cyberspace, the TikTok case underscores the dynamic interplay of uncertainty and competition between US national interests and China’s quest for digital dominance. The dilemma faced by the US lies in the imperative to secure national interests while preserving freedom and innovation in the digital era. Amidst the pursuit of digital hegemony, the US aims to sustain its pivotal role in the digital landscape, interpreting TikTok’s expansion as a strategic move by China to extend influence and control over user data. Employing secondary data collection methods, including library research, this study reveals the US’s responses to these challenges, involving attempts to restrict TikTok’s operations within its borders, such as the ban on TikTok’s operation and endeavors to gain control of its US operations. However, subsequent revelations indicate the inaccuracy of the US’s allegations against TikTok.

Abstract

Papua Province’s integration into the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI) has been marked by historical intricacies, particularly stemming from the prolonged process that spans approximately 14 years. Commencing with the Round Table Conference in 1949 and culminating in the 1969 People’s Opinion (PEPERA), Papua’s trajectory has been shaped by political dynamics and challenges related to national integration. This paper delves into the complexities surrounding Papua’s integration, exploring the impact of the New York Agreement, the PEPERA process, and its subsequent implications for the region’s sociopolitical landscape. Drawing attention to the contested legitimacy of the PEPERA process, we examine the dynamics that have contributed to the ongoing conflict in Papua, with indigenous Papuans expressing disillusionment over perceived marginalization and discrimination. In light of these challenges, the emergence of ethnonationalism becomes a focal point, exacerbated by state policies that have further marginalized indigenous populations during periods such as the New Order era and the declaration of Military Operations Area (DOM) status. Central to our inquiry is an exploration of the response of the Indigenous Papuan community to the advocacy for Papuan humanitarian diplomacy by Vanuatu, a prominent member of the United Liberation Movement for West Papua (ULMWP). This study aims to investigate the extent to which the Orang Asli Papua (OAP) or Indigenous Papuan community’s response aligns with the values inherent in the concept of ethnonationalism. By addressing these issues, we seek to contribute to the scholarly understanding of ethnonational dynamics, humanitarian diplomacy, and the ongoing sociopolitical landscape in Papua.

Abstract

Milk tea, a beloved beverage in Asia, has evolved into a symbol uniting pro-democracy activist. The hashtag #MilkTeaAlliance, propagated on Twitter (now “X”), emerged as a potent force for trans-national advocacy, uniting individuals online and onsite in the fight against authoritarianism across regions, including Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, and Myanmar. This study delves into the role of Twitter in raising awareness about authoritarian oppression on a trans-national scale, elucidating the movement’s patterns on the platform. To comprehend the process of trans-nationalization, the study explores how a ‘scale shift’ from national to international is facilitated through Trans-national Advocacy Networks. The findings underscore the pivotal role of Twitter’s openness as a key platform, coupled with the movement’s strategy of disseminating factual information and garnering support, which contributed to its remarkable success in capturing attention.
