Abstract

China is the country that has provided the most assistance during the Covid-19 pandemic to countries in the Southeast Asian Region. Some concrete efforts have been made by China such as diplomacy of masks, vaccines, and Medical Equipment and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) against all countries in the Southeast Asian region, including Indonesia, Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar. These countries believe that China's humanitarian assistance is very much needed in this Covid-19 pandemic situation. However, in the course of this series of efforts, it gave rise to speculative assumptions from the international community. So that in the end, from this paper the author tries to answer the question of what is behind China's efforts to make foreign aid efforts to countries in the Southeast Asian Region using the concept of foreign aid from Maria Andersson. Maria explained that there are humanitarian, economic and socio-political motives in influencing a country's foreign aid. This is what the author will explain in this paper, in an effort to answer questions related to China's background in expanding its humanitarian assistance in the Southeast Asian Region. It is hoped that this paper can be used as a comparative material for similar research and as a contribution to ideas for interested parties.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze public policies that have been implemented in improving the quality of public services at the Cikalong Wetan Health Center, West Bandung. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with data collection techniques through interviews, observation, and document studies. The results of the study show that the Cikalong Wetan Health Center has carried out several public policies in improving the quality of public services. One of the policies implemented is the provision of employee training and development to improve service quality. In addition, the Cikalong Wetan Health Center also measures customer satisfaction through surveys and carries out continuous improvements based on the survey results. However, there are still a number of challenges faced in the implementation of public policies at the Cikalong Wetan Health Center. The main challenge is the limited budget and available human resources, making it difficult to implement all the desired policies. In addition, there are still several service aspects that need to be improved, such as increasing service accessibility and accountability. In this case, it is suggested that the Cikalong Wetan Health Center can increase collaboration with related parties, such as the local government, NGOs, and the community, to overcome the challenges they face. In addition, the Cikalong Wetan Health Center also needs to improve budget management and human resources effectively, and continue to evaluate and improve the services provided, so as to increase customer satisfaction and achieve better public service goals.

Abstract

This study discusses Indonesia's public diplomacy in building a positive image of the country through the implementation of the Australia-Indonesia Youth Exchange Program (AIYEP) 2023–2024. In the context of post-pandemic globalization, public diplomacy has become a strategic instrument in communicating the values, identity, and character of the nation to the international community. The AIYEP program was analyzed using an instrumental case study qualitative approach with reference to constructivism (Wendt), nation branding (Dinnie), and public diplomacy (Cull) theories. The results of the study show that AIYEP contributes significantly to shaping positive perceptions of Indonesia through cross-cultural social interactions, the involvement of youth as informal ambassadors, and authentic narratives conveyed through direct experiences. The Ministry of Youth and Sports of the Republic of Indonesia (Kemenpora RI) plays an important role in designing cultural communication strategies, adapting post-pandemic policies, and maintaining the sustainability of diplomacy through alumni networks. This program also demonstrates the implementation of universal values such as gender equality, mutual cooperation, and social inclusion. AIYEP has proven to be a model of participatory public diplomacy that strengthens bilateral relations between Indonesia and Australia and builds Indonesia's image as an inclusive, progressive, and adaptive country in the eyes of the world.

Abstract

Gender-Based Violence (GBV) remains a pervasive human rights violation globally and a critical barrier to achieving Sustainable Development Goal 5 on gender equality. In Indonesia, the high number of reported GBV cases underscores the urgent need for effective intervention strategies. This research examines the implementation of the Generation Gender (Gen-G) program initiated by Rutgers International in addressing Gender-Based Violence (GBV) in Indonesia during the 2023–2024 period. As a transnational advocacy initiative, the program seeks to promote gender justice through youth empowerment and the institutional strengthening of civil society organizations in Jakarta, Bandung, and Palu. Employing a qualitative descriptive method and grounded in Keck and Sikkink’s Transnational Advocacy Networks (TANs) theory, the research analyzes Rutgers’ strategic use of four key tactics: information politics, symbolic politics, leverage politics, and accountability politics. The findings reveal that Rutgers International has successfully established strategic advocacy networks with local actors such as Yayasan Gemilang Sehat Indonesia, Koalisi Perempuan Indonesia, and LBH APIK, enabling a context-specific and inclusive response to GBV. Despite these advances, structural barriers, deeply rooted patriarchal norms, and limited policy support remain significant challenges to full program effectiveness. This study underscores the critical role of transnational networks and multi-sectoral collaboration in advancing gender-sensitive policy reform and social transformation. Furthermore, it contributes to the broader discourse in international relations by highlighting the strategic influence of non-state actors in the diffusion of global gender norms at the local level.

Abstract

Indonesia is a country with a relatively high level of gender inequality. This condition is driven by persistent discrimination against women within the country. The United Nations, through its gender entity UN Women, plays an important role in addressing this issue. This study examines the problem of gender inequality in Indonesia and analyzes how an international organization positions itself as an actor in international relations to address the issue. The purpose of this study is to identify the role of UN Women as an international organization in promoting gender equality in Indonesia through one of its programs, the Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs), which have been implemented by PT Amartha Mikro Fintek as one of the companies in Indonesia. Using a qualitative research approach, this study analyzes the issue by applying Clive Archer’s theory of international organizations, as well as the concepts of gender equality and women’s empowerment. The data used in this study are secondary data obtained from books, academic journals, articles, documents, news magazines, newspapers, and data available on websites or the internet. The findings indicate that women’s empowerment in Indonesia continued to increase during the period 2020–2023. This progress cannot be separated from the role of UN Women in carrying out its functions as an international organization—both as an instrument, an arena, and an independent actor—through the WEPs program implemented by PT Amartha Mikro Fintek.   Indonesia merupakan negara dengan tingkat ketidaksetaraan gender yang cukup tinggi. Hal ini disebabkan oleh adanya diskriminasi terhadap perempuan yang terjadi di negara tersebut. PBB melalui entitas gender UN Women turut memiliki andil dalam mengatasi masalah ini. Penelitian ini mengangkat masalah ketimpangan gender yang terjadi di Indonesia, serta bagaimana organisasi internasional memposisikan dirinya sebagai salah satu aktor hubungan internasional dalam mengatasi permasalahan tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui peran UN Women selaku organisasi internasional dalam mengatasi masalah kesetaraan gender di Indonesia melalui salah satu programnya WEPs yang diimplementasikan oleh PT Amartha Mikro Fintek sebagai salah satu perusahaan di Indonesia. Dalam penelitian kualitatif ini, penulis menganalisis masalah dengan menggunakan teori organisasi internasional  dari Clive Archer, konsep kesetaraan gender dan pemberdayaan perempuan. Sumber data yang dipakai merupakan data sekunder yang diperoleh melalui buku, jurnal ilmiah, artikel, dokumen, majalah berita, surat kabar, maupun data-data yang terdapat di website atau internet. Hasil dari penelitian melihat pemberdayaan perempuan di Indonesia terus meningkat selama tahun 2020-2023, hal ini tidak terlepas UN Women dalam menjalankan perannya sebagai organisasi internasional, baik peran sebagai instrumen, arena, maupun aktor independen dengan program WEPs yang turut diimplementasikan oleh PT Amartha Mikro Fintek.

Abstract

Crude Palm Oil (CPO) is one of the strategic export commodities for the Indonesian economy. However, the export of this commodity faces significant challenges following the implementation of the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), which mandates strict deforestation-free due diligence. This regulation has the potential to act as a discriminatory non-tariff barrier, threatening Indonesian palm oil's market access in Europe. This study aims to analyze the economic diplomacy strategies implemented by the Indonesian Government in responding to the EUDR policy. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a library research approach, utilizing secondary data sources such as official government documents, international institutional reports, and academic literature. The findings reveal that Indonesia’s response is structured through a multi-track economic diplomacy approach encompassing three main pillars: bilateral engagement with European Union member states to negotiate technical flexibility and mitigate risk classification; multilateral strategies through dispute mechanisms at the World Trade Organization (WTO) and coalition-building via the Council of Palm Oil Producing Countries (CPOPC); and domestic-commercial measures through the strengthening of Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) certification as a source of bargaining power. These findings demonstrate that Indonesia’s diplomacy is not merely reactive but represents an integrated effort to enhance its negotiating position in the face of regulatory pressure, although its effectiveness remains constrained by domestic implementation challenges, particularly in smallholder compliance and governance capacity. The success of Indonesia’s economic diplomacy in responding to EUDR ultimately depends on the alignment between international negotiation strategies and the strengthening of domestic institutional capacity.

Abstract

This study analyzes Indonesia’s defense diplomacy through its participation in the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO). The prolonged conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has created multidimensional security challenges that require collective international responses through United Nations peacekeeping operations. Indonesia’s involvement in MONUSCO reflects not only its commitment to maintaining international peace and security, but also its strategic efforts in strengthening its role within multilateral security cooperation. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method through literature studies, document analysis, and the examination of official reports from the United Nations, MONUSCO, and the Indonesian National Armed Forces. The study uses the theory of defense diplomacy to examine how Indonesia utilizes peacekeeping operations as an instrument to support foreign policy objectives and strengthen international cooperation. The findings show that Indonesia carries out defense diplomacy through peacekeeping activities, civil-military cooperation, humanitarian assistance, and Quick Impact Projects (QIP) aimed at supporting local communities in conflict areas. These activities contribute to strengthening Indonesia’s international image, enhancing military professionalism, and building trust with local communities. However, Indonesia also faces operational and security challenges in implementing defense diplomacy within the complex dynamics of multidimensional peacekeeping missions. This study concludes that Indonesia’s participation in MONUSCO represents a form of cooperative defense diplomacy that combines security and humanitarian approaches in supporting international peace efforts.
