Abstract

Food security has increasingly become an important issue in International Relations, particularly within non-traditional security studies. This article aims to rethink the concept of food security by examining the relationship between famine, vulnerability, and conflict in Somalia. Traditionally, understood as a humanitarian and development issue, contemporary global challenges such as armed conflict, political instability, climate change, and economic inequality demonstrate that food insecurity also constitutes a significant international security concern. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and literature-based analysis, this study explores how chronic famine in Somalia reflects the interconnectedness between food insecurity, state fragility, human vulnerability, and violent conflict. This study focuses on the 2020 and 2024 period, particularly covering the 2011 famine. To ensure the empirical reliability, the analysis relies on reports and datasets from key international institutions, including UN, FAO, WFP, IPC, the World Bank, and relevant scholarly publications. The findings reveal that famine in Somalia is not solely caused by natural factors such as drought, but is also deeply influenced by prolonged political instability, armed conflict, weak governance, and unequal access to resources. Furthermore, food insecurity contributes to social instability, displacement, humanitarian crises, and the expansion of extremist groups, thereby threatening both national and regional security. This article argues that food security must be viewed as a multidimensional security issue linked to international stability. By using Somalia as a critical empirical case, this study contributes to the broader discussion on non-traditional security and offers a deeper conceptual understanding of food security within International Relations studies.

Abstract

Minyak kelapa sawit (Crude Palm Oil/CPO) merupakan komoditas ekspor strategis Indonesia. Namun, ekspor menghadapi tantangan signifikan dengan diberlakukannya European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), yang mewajibkan uji tuntas bebas deforestasi, berpotensi menjadi hambatan non-tarif diskriminatif dan mengancam akses pasar Eropa. Penelitian ini menganalisis strategi diplomasi ekonomi Pemerintah Indonesia merespons kebijakan EUDR. Metode penelitian kualitatif deskriptif berbasis studi pustaka digunakan, dengan data sekunder dari dokumen resmi pemerintah, laporan lembaga internasional, dan literatur akademik. Hasil menunjukkan strategi diplomasi ekonomi Indonesia dijalankan melalui tiga pilar: (1) diplomasi bilateral dengan negara anggota Uni Eropa untuk menyuarakan keberatan dan mencari solusi bersama; (2) diplomasi multilateral melalui gugatan di World Trade Organization (WTO) dan penguatan aliansi produsen sawit melalui Council of Palm Oil Producing Countries (CPOPC); (3) penguatan tata kelola domestik dengan optimalisasi sertifikasi Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) sebagai alat tawar bahwa sawit Indonesia memenuhi standar keberlanjutan global.

Abstract

This research was motivated by the rampant phenomenon of early marriage in Indonesia, which has become a complex and controversial social issue. Early marriage was always associated with beliefs and traditions in a region with diverse cultures and religions. This study analyzes efforts to prevent early marriage in Mekarmanik Village, Cimenyan District, Bandung Regency through women's empowerment. The program used is the Balai Prima girls’ school, which provides non-formal education for adolescent girls aged 13-18 years. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method, focusing on data collection and analysis, to shed light on the phenomenon of early marriage in local social, cultural, and economic contexts. The results show that non-formal education and women's empowerment can increase awareness about women's rights and the risks of early marriage, as well as provide practical skills that aid decision-making. The implementation of this program is in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially in terms of gender equality and improving the quality of education. Therefore, it is important to address early marriage, which involves education, empowerment, and social change.
