Abstract

Abstract: The paper is trying to look whether China is a status quo power or a revisionist power in theSouth China Sea dispute based on status quo indicator developed by Johnston and perspectives onconformity towards norms. Meanwhile, this paper argues that China is neither a status quo nor arevisionist in the South China Sea dispute to the extent of its compliance with the Declaration on theConduct of Parties (DoC) in the South China Sea. Using status quo indicators developed by Johnstonand also the perspectives on conformity and violation towards norm, it is found that Chinas position inthe South China Sea is determined by its interests over the disputed area. A moral dilemma betweenexpected behaviors in the South China Sea based on Chinas involvement in the DoC and Chinas otherself interests. Moreover, China has been conducting activities which fall under both categories, bothstatus quo and revisionist. China is lying in the middle between status quo and revisionist in the SouthChina Sea dispute, between an obligatory action that is mandated by the DoC and the desire to act inorder to pursue its self-interest such as its sovereignty claim, natural resources, and geostrategicposition of the disputed territory. Chinas position in the South China Sea dispute as well as its moraldilemma in the end could be seen through its mixed and constrained actions indicated by an aggressiveact and a justification related to the aggressive act.Key words: China, South China Sea Dispute, Status Quo, Revisionist, Norm, DoC.

Abstract

Many experts still believe that engagement would be the answer towards the recent situation in Korean peninsula. Up to now, few contacts which have taken place can hardly be called as negotiations. Looking at the situation, a new player could be added into the negotiation process to solve North Korea’s nuclear crisis. The new player should be free of interest, reliable, and has a strong connection with North Korea. It is already over 40 years since North Korea was accepted as full-fledged member and North Korea has gained immeasurably by joining Non-Aligned Movement (NAM). Thus NAM is probably one of the most promising exit strategies for North Korea nuclear crisis, the engagement that could provide coalition for punishment tomorrow. The movement could be an opportunity for North Korean nuclear problem, since it has long history with North Korea, freer from superpower interest, and provide a lot of benefits to North Korean regime.

Abstract

The problem of corruption is strongly rooted in Indonesia and became a problematic issue for Indonesia. Corruption that is also done by law enforcement officers is believed to have undermined the authority of the government not only in domestic but also in international scale. Systemic impact of corruption touches not only the economy sector as a strong pillar of the country's development but also touches the human spirit as part of the national development process. To overcome the problem of corruption, there must be a strong political will from the government that can be implemented in government policy such as promoting exemplary conduct and modest lifestyle, signing the integrity pact, creating an effective punishment, promoting a clear division and synergy among government agencies, establishing the one roof administration in the long run, and introducing an anti-corruption education early on. Keywords: corruption, problems of fighting corruption, and political will.

Abstract

Populism usually appears when there is dissatisfaction towards the system, and creates two different camps seen as polarization, “the elite” versus “the people.” Those camps are a result of the appeal of anti-elite. Indonesian populist leader also uses the strategy to appeal a large support of citizens, but the strategy must be understood as a part of pragmatist leadership. This paper argues that the utilization of populism in Indonesia is more motivated by pragmatic reasons rather than fundamental reasons. This pragmatic reason can be seen through inconsistent statement in the leadership which, at first, supports populist claim but tends to be different in reality. Political leaders in Indonesia try to strive for a progress as well as to seek a compromise and a support from various groups, including those labeled as elite by the populists themselves. Through an observation of secondary documents from journals and news articles during the latest presidential campaign between Jokowi and Prabowo in 2019, it is concluded that all characteristics of populist strategy have been used pragmatically by both leaders. It is applied to attract more supports in order to respect the political constraints and to work with the system.

Abstract

During the pandemic of covid-19, it is interesting to see how diplomacy play its part as a method of communication, and whether it supports the creation of mutual understanding between states. This article tries to reflect what is happened in regard to diplomacy from the end of December 2019, when Chinese authorities confirmed a new virus to the WHO, until the middle of April 2020. In order to give a clearer picture, this article will look on how countries respond in dealing with the pandemic of covid-19. This article argues that countries’ responses so far reflect that diplomacy does not happen in a constructive manner as states are facing a new kind of challenge. As a result, diplomacy tend to have more nationalistic sentiment, and not respond as part of international society. For Indonesia, it would be important to play its role in regional context, as ASEAN would be an important regional organization to fight the pandemic. As part of international society, diplomacy should be used as a method of communication that based on values of goodwill, solidarity and humanity, especially to find mutual understanding in multilateral context. Diplomacy also should be used to communicate for exchange of goods, people, information, services, and best practices in order to fight global problems.

Abstract

Digital diplomacy has gained momentum in recent years, especially when the COVID-19 pandemic occurred in 2020. The popularity of digital diplomacy lied in its characteristics where it offered more access to information, dialogic communication as well as transparency in diplomacy as had been implemented by many developed countries. However, recent studies have not focused yet on digital diplomacy implementation by non-developed countries. The research aimed to address the gap, by offering an analysis of the characteristics of and how Indonesia has implemented digital diplomacy. As every country had developed their respective path towards digitalisation and every Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) has its own evolution of digital diplomacy, each of which has its own characteristics in implementing digital diplomacy. The research focused on the characteristics of a country which has implemented digital diplomacy. Thus, the research tried to examine the characteristics of Indonesia’s digital diplomacy. The research argued that Indonesia’s digital diplomacy initiatives are based on a limited understanding of digital diplomacy, are sporadically pursued, and are based on an ad hoc basis. The domestic public’s interest in international issues further encourages the implementation of digital instruments. The research covered three main issues, namely the COVID-19 pandemic, the issue of palm oil, and the Rohingya crisis to establish the characteristics of Indonesian digital diplomacy. The qualitative research used primary sources in the form of interviews with Indonesian diplomats and key researchers. Furthermore, secondary sources related to Indonesia’s digital diplomacy are also used to support the research.

Abstract

Middle countries are considered to be more vulnerable in crisis management because of their marginal position in the international politics. In the pandemic, middle power diplomacy is expected to fill the void left by developed countries so that they focus on multilateral efforts. This paper argues that Indonesia exercised middle power diplomacy in 2020. This diplomacy is carried out with a commitment to encourage global cooperation in resolving the pandemic through multilateral efforts. The multilateral initiatives are carried out as part of ‘good international citizenship’, and also serves as the mechanism to voice Indonesian aspirations, aspirations related to humanity, efforts to create global norms, and efforts to reach international treaties. This paper is a qualitative research, which is based on a literature study in the form of an official statement from the Government of Indonesia through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and is supported by secondary sources.
