Abstract

The ASEAN Vision beyond 2025 aims to establish an inclusive socio-cultural community (ASCC), yet faces significant hurdles in its implementation. While ASEAN's commitment to socio-cultural integration is commendable, developing a cohesive regional identity remains a critical challenge due to historical grievances, extensive cultural diversity, and persistent socioeconomic inequalities among member states. Previous research has largely identified these issues separately without deeply analyzing their interconnections or the direct impact of economic and security dimensions on the socio-cultural community. This study addresses this research gap by specifically examining how economic disparities and security challenges, including external alliances such as AUKUS and the Quad, affect ASEAN's sociocultural cohesion and shared identity. This research aims to answer the following questions: (1) How do economic disparities among ASEAN member states influence the integration of the socio-cultural community? (2) In what ways do evolving security dynamics impact socio-cultural cohesion within ASEAN? The findings reveal that ASEAN’s sociocultural integration suffers significantly due to the lack of coherent policy synchronization between economic, political-security, and socio-cultural agendas, exacerbated by inadequate monitoring and enforcement mechanisms. Furthermore, the rise of external security alliances undermines ASEAN's centrality, causing internal fragmentation and weakening regional solidarity. To effectively achieve its vision beyond 2025, ASEAN must implement robust cross-sectoral coordination mechanisms, strengthen policy enforcement, promote inclusive participation, and reinforce its capacity to manage external security influences. Only through these targeted strategies can ASEAN build a truly unified and resilient socio-cultural community.

Abstract

The West Sumatra has a high index of food security and because of its dependence on modern farming systems that are chemical based, farmers are susceptible to environmental degradation and market forces worldwide. Through the Critical International Relations (CIR) approach of Robert W. Cox, this paper analyzes how community-based agroecological practices can be the solution to a transition between climate change adaptation and democratic resilience in West Sumatra. The current study is dedicated to the case of Cheap Staple Rice Fields (Sawah Pokok Murah - SPM) an agroecological farming system, a grassroots movement that helps to break free of the company inputs and promotes the self-reliance of farmers. The results demonstrate that SPM does not only lead to climate adaptation and food availability, but also transforms the community-based innovations into the inclusive local governance, in which local governments adopt the grassroots initiatives into their policy-making. This research paper addresses a gap in the literature by demonstrating that food security is not merely associated with the production of adequate food, but also with promoting ecological justice and enhancing the community capacity towards participatory decision-making. Theoretically, the study suggests that agroecology can serve as a deliberative democratic mechanism, allowing local communities to build democratic resilience through daily food governance practices.

Abstract

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of international agreements on efforts that must be made to create a just, prosperous, and safe world for humans and the planet Earth. Efforts to achieve SDG number 2, namely "zero hunger", need to be done by implementing sustainable agriculture. This article explains the implementation of sustainable agriculture in West Sumatra Province, which has prepared a "Regional Action Plan for Sustainable Development Goals." In the RAD, it is stated that the Provincial Government will build a sustainable food production system. This research was conducted using a qualitative method. Data collection was carried out through interviews with farmer groups and various government agencies, accompanied by a review of related documents. The researcher used a policy framework consisting of four factors proposed by Eyhorn et al. (2019) to realize sustainable agriculture. The results of this study indicate that the first factor, namely the transformation towards sustainable agriculture, is underway in West Sumatra Province. The second factor, namely cooperation with the market to absorb sustainable agricultural products, has been attempted; the other two factors, namely incentives and sanctions related to sustainable agriculture, still need to be implemented.

Abstract

This study examines the securitization process of Muslim immigrant issue in the United States during Donald Trump’s presidency. In this context, Muslim immigrants were framed as a threat to national security through a discourse constructed around associations with terrorism. Through speech acts, Trump shaped public perception to regard this issue as an existential threat requiring extraordinary measures, as outlined in the Copenhagen School’s securitization theory. This strategy was part of Trump’s political maneuver to gain electoral support in the 2016 presidential election by amplifying anti-immigrant and Islamophobic narratives. Trump’s election as president indirectly legitimized the anti-immigrant rhetoric promoted during his campaign, which was subsequently translated into a series of intimidating immigration policies. This securitization process culminated in the implementation of emergency-like measures targeting Muslim immigrants, most notably through the Travel Ban policy, which restricted entry from seven Muslim-majority countries.

Abstract

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is one of the funding sources, alongside the State Budget (APBN), that can be used to support national development. This study aims to analyze the policies implemented by the Indonesian government to achieve adequate infrastructure development in accordance with the SDGs agenda, particularly transportation infrastructure that supports global sustainability by utilizing Chinese FDI as one of its funding sources. This study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. Primary data were obtained through interviews with the Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industry, while secondary data were collected from reports, journals, articles, and relevant websites. Using Theodore H. Moran’s concept of FDI and Development, this study analyzes how Indonesian government policies seek to achieve structural benefits in managing Chinese FDI in the transportation sector to support sustainable development. The findings show that the four main indicators of FDI and Development—transparency of payments, improvement of economic patterns, enhancement of the local business climate, and promotion of investment—have been implemented fairly well. Chinese FDI has contributed to technological transfer, skill upgrading, supporting industries, and improved investor confidence in Indonesia’s sustainable transportation development.
