Abstract

Milk Tea Alliance has gained its popularity as broad youth protests trans- cending national borders against authoritarianism. The protests started to spread its influence in Far-Eastern countries like Hongkong and Taiwan in 2020. In a matter of months, Milk Tea Alliance quickly broadened its influence reaching Southeast Asian countries, namely Thailand and Myanmar. This research aimed to explain the processes of Milk Tea Alliance advocacy as a social movement in ASEAN settings, especially in Thailand and Myanmar. Methodologically, most secondary data are collected with library research techniques and analyzed explanatively with an integrated framework of analysis consisting of a transnational advocacy network model and digital advocacy concept. This research found that Milk Tea Alliance operates transnationally—by disseminating information, framing public opinion, and gaining mass support—and digitally with the help of social media. The results of the research have implications for the overview of digital advocacy practice in ASEAN.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of carbon capture as a carbon emission reduction strategy in the oil and gas sector in Indonesia. In an effort to reduce carbon emissions from the oil and gas industry, the Government of Indonesia through the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) has begun to take the development of Carbon Capture Storage (CCS)/ Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) technology seriously. This seriousness can be seen through the creation of 16 CCUS projects that are currently under development. This effort is not only to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but also so that Indonesia is able to utilize CO2 waste and methane gas to be developed as useful products. This research attempts to examine the application of CCUS as a policy solution towards net zero emission 2060 and the sustainability that Indonesia wants to achieve. Adopting a qualitative approach, this study analyzes sustainability claims in the implementation of CCUS projects. The results show that although CCUS is promoted and considered as a solution to reduce emissions and develop new investments for the state, its presence tends to act more as a greenwashing strategy than as an effective step towards sustainability. In addition, other findings show that the presence of CCUS is actually an obstacle to the green transition efforts that are trying to be achieved. The urgency of this research lies in the effort to see the effectiveness of the CCUS policy which is claimed to be the main way to deliver sustainability policies and Indonesia net zero emission 2060.

Abstract

Democracy and human rights issues in the ASEAN region came into the focus of attention with the emergence of the Milk Tea Alliance, a cross-border movement fighting for democratic values. This article aims to explore the role of the milk tea alliance movement as a new democratic force in ASEAN and how it can be enhanced in effectiveness through adaptation to existing ASEAN norms and institutions. Methodologically, secondary data collection often involves the use of literature research techniques and is analyzed explanatory with the framework of constructivist analysis to understand the social construction of identity, norms, and political relations in ASEAN with the movement. This research shows that this movement effectively increases public awareness of democratic principles. Nonetheless, normative and institutional challenges in the ASEAN region require the implementation of adequate adaptive measures. The study presents several tactics aimed at increasing the influence of this movement in facilitating democratic progress in the ASEAN region.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the impact of moving the capital city on Indonesia's geopolitical dynamics and how this move contributes to the transformation of national identity. Rimland Theory is used to analyze the geopolitical aspects, highlighting the importance of the Nusantara's position at the center of the Asia-Pacific region and its potential impact on Indonesia's influence in the region. Benedict Anderson's Imagined Communities provides a framework for understanding how the relocation of the capital city could redefine Indonesia's national identity, by introducing an inclusive narrative that transcends the dominance of Javanese culture. This research uses a qualitative approach with document analysis and interviews with political, social and cultural experts. The findings show that relocating the capital city has the potential to accelerate equitable development and strengthen Indonesia's position in the international arena. In addition, the relocation of the capital city also opens up opportunities to create a more inclusive national narrative, by recognizing cultural diversity outside Java. The novelty of this research lies in the application of both theories to examine the role of the archipelago as a new symbol that represents transformation in the geopolitical aspects and national identity of Indonesia.

Abstract

Presidential elections in Turkey always attract global attention, as Turkey is a country that has significant influence in the international arena. This article aims to analyse national media framing sentiment in Indonesia towards Erdoğan in the 2023 Turkish presidential election. This article uses framing theory to analyse media coverage of the Turkish presidential election and the post-election period from March to August 2023. The author reads news from three Indonesian media outlets namely CNN Indonesia, BBC Indonesia, and CNBC Indonesia to see how they framed the news about Erdoğan. The purpose of this framing analysis was to determine whether the coverage of Erdoğan was positive, negative or neutral. The results of this study show that the highest percentage of national media framing in Indonesia is neutral. Erdoğan was often reported with negative sentiments, especially in relation to his controversial policy issues. News with positive sentiments towards Erdoğan was the lowest. In fact, after the election, news coverage tended to be neutral. This shows that national media in Indonesia generally endeavour to maintain objectivity and professionalism in news coverage, by balancing various perspectives and not leaning too much towards certain sentiments. This research fills a gap in international media studies by focusing on how Indonesian national media framed news coverage of Erdoğan during the 2023 Turkish presidential election. While many studies examine media framing in Western countries, this research provides new insights into media perspectives from developing countries such as Indonesia, which is important for understanding regional views on global leaders.

Abstract

Why did Russia escalate a conflict that began in 2014 into a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, and how do the war's consequences through 2026 alter the evaluation of its underlying motives? This article develops a multi-level explanation that combines structural security competition, domestic regime security, imperial identity narratives, geostrategic interests in Crimea and the Black Sea, and geoeconomic leverage. Using a qualitative explanatory case study and process tracing of critical developments from 1991 to 2026, the analysis draws on official documents, public speeches, international-organization reports, and peer-reviewed scholarship. The article argues that NATO enlargement and the contested post-Cold War security order created a permissive security dilemma but did not mechanically cause the invasion. Escalation required the interaction of structural rivalry with an increasingly personalized authoritarian decision process, narratives that denied Ukraine's autonomous nationhood, and expectations that coercive force could reverse Ukraine's Western orientation at acceptable cost. Energy interdependence strengthened Moscow's leverage and fiscal capacity, functioned primarily as an instrument rather than an independent root cause. The timing of the 2022 invasion reflected a severe misreading of Ukrainian resilience, Western cohesion, and the feasibility of a rapid political settlement imposed by force. By 2026, the war had generated substantial strategic blowback: NATO expanded to Finland and Sweden, Ukraine's European integration advanced, and the European Union institutionalized a deeper reduction of Russian energy dependence. The article contributes by distinguishing enabling conditions, decision mechanisms, and post-invasion consequences, thereby moving beyond single-cause explanations and retrospective justifications.Why did Russia escalate a conflict that began in 2014 into a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, and how do the war's consequences through 2026 alter the evaluation of its underlying motives?
