Abstract

The phenomenon of sexual violence against children is increasingly common and has become global in almost all countries. Cases of sexual violence against children continue to increase from time to time. The increase is not only in terms of quantity or number of cases, but also in terms of quality. Thailand is one of the countries with the largest number of cases of child sex tourism in the world. Prostitution in Thailand plays a role in the country's economy. Ironically, most of Thailand's national income comes from the sex tourism sector. The issue of Human Security in Thailand has caused a decline in the image of the Thai state due to the many perspectives and poor responses on the issue of sexual violence. The reason is because of the history passed down from generation to generation since the Ayuthya era (1350-1767), economic problems, community culture, poverty levels, so that cases of sexual violence against children and women in Thailand are still ongoing today. The researcher uses a descriptive-analytical approach which collects various literature studies, composes, interprets the data, which is then analyzed to obtain valid data. By using the concept of Human Security and International Organizations to analyze the response of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), which is under the auspices of the United Nations, which emphasizes various issues related to children's rights, it is necessary to assist the Thai government in dealing with cases of child violence that occurred in Thailand. Then the results of the study show that based on the response from UNICEF and through several Remote Sexual Assault control programs, it has not been able to fully minimize sexual violence against children in Thailand.

Abstract

Global urban waste is projected to reach 3.8 billion tons by 2050, prompting countries to seek alternative management approaches. However, cross-border waste trade remains perceived as an ambiguous balance between environmental solutions and burden-shifting concerns. This study analyzes how Sweden's circular economy drives transnational waste imports through the framework of environmental diplomacy. In circular economy logic, waste imports result from successfully closing the domestic material cycle. Having minimized domestic residual waste, Sweden expands its circularity transnationally by converting foreign waste into energy. Using a qualitative descriptive-analytical case study approach with secondary data from academic literature, policy documents, and the UN Comtrade database, this study reveals that the success of Sweden’s Waste-to-Energy system creates a structural paradox—a dependence on imported waste. This phenomenon highlights three dimensions of environmental diplomacy: environmental governance via cross-border resource management, global environmental governance through adherence to the Basel Convention and prior informed consent mechanisms, and environmental peacebuilding through institutional interdependence and trust. Ultimately, Swedish waste imports illustrate how environmental issues can serve as diplomatic instruments to foster international cooperation while supporting a sustainable energy transition. Proyeksi peningkatan limbah perkotaan global hingga 3,8 miliar ton pada 2050 mendorong pencarian pendekatan pengelolaan sampah alternatif. Namun, perdagangan limbah lintas batas masih dipersepsikan ambigu antara solusi lingkungan dan pemindahan beban. Penelitian ini menganalisis bagaimana penerapan ekonomi sirkular di Swedia mendorong impor limbah melalui kerangka diplomasi lingkungan. Dalam logika ekonomi sirkular, impor limbah merupakan konsekuensi dari keberhasilan menutup siklus material domestik. Saat limbah residu domestik hampir habis, Swedia memperluas sirkularitasnya ke tingkat transnasional dengan menjadikan sampah luar negeri sebagai bahan bakar energi. Penelitian kualitatif studi kasus deskriptif-analitis ini menggunakan data sekunder dari literatur akademik, dokumen kebijakan, dan basis data UN Comtrade. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa keberhasilan sistem Waste-to-Energy Swedia menciptakan paradoks struktural berupa ketergantungan pada pasokan limbah asing. Fenomena ini mencerminkan tiga dimensi diplomasi lingkungan: environmental governance melalui pengelolaan sumber daya lintas batas, global environmental governance melalui kepatuhan pada Konvensi Basel dan mekanisme prior informed consent, serta environmental peacebuilding melalui interdependensi dan kepercayaan antarnegara. Impor limbah Swedia membuktikan bahwa isu lingkungan dapat menjadi instrumen diplomasi yang mendorong kerja sama internasional dan transisi energi berkelanjutan.

Abstract

Abstract: This study examines Indonesia's layered economic diplomacy strategy in maintaining its sovereign nickel downstreaming policy following the adverse World Trade Organization (WTO) DS592 ruling. Utilizing a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical design, this research evaluates the pivotal timeline of 2022–2026 to capture post-dispute dynamics, institutional adaptations, and domestic governance digitalizations. Data were gathered through documentary research from official WTO dispute archives, ministerial performance reports, and credible macroeconomic publications. The findings demonstrate that Indonesia successfully protected its industrial policy space from external interventions by synergizing three diplomatic pillars: leveraging multilateral institutional paralysis through tactical legal maneuvers ("appealing into the void"), isolating bilateral trade frictions within the IEU-CEPA negotiations alongside the establishment of an Ad Hoc Joint Task Force, and aggressively locking in physical foreign direct investment for high-value smelter ecosystems from East Asian partners. Furthermore, this policy space was domestically institutionalized through the integration of the SIMBARA digital governance system to optimize state revenue and resource transparency. In conclusion, this empirical phenomenon challenges liberal institutionalism’s core assumption of automatic compliance by proving that a Global South middle power can effectively counter multilateral regulatory pressures and shift from a traditional raw material supplier to a sovereign industrialized nation by utilizing critical mineral leverage. Keywords: Critical Minerals, Economic Diplomacy, WTO Dispute, Resource Nationalism, Policy Space   Abstrak: Penelitian ini mengkaji strategi diplomasi ekonomi berlapis Indonesia dalam mempertahankan kebijakan kedaulatan hilirisasi nikel pasca putusan sengketa Organisasi Perdagangan Dunia (World Trade Organization/WTO) DS592 yang merugikan Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain deskriptif-analitis untuk menganalisis periode krusial 2022–2026 guna menangkap dinamika pascasengketa, adaptasi kelembagaan, dan digitalisasi tata kelola domestik. Data diperoleh melalui studi dokumentasi yang bersumber dari arsip resmi sengketa WTO, laporan kinerja kementerian, serta berbagai publikasi makroekonomi yang kredibel. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Indonesia berhasil mempertahankan ruang kebijakan (policy space) industri nasional dari intervensi eksternal melalui sinergi tiga pilar diplomasi, yaitu pemanfaatan kelumpuhan institusional WTO melalui manuver hukum taktis berupa appealing into the void, isolasi friksi perdagangan bilateral melalui perundingan Indonesia-European Union Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IEU-CEPA) dan pembentukan Ad Hoc Joint Task Force, serta penguncian investasi asing langsung (foreign direct investment/FDI) secara agresif untuk pengembangan ekosistem smelter bernilai tambah tinggi dari mitra Asia Timur. Lebih lanjut, ruang kebijakan tersebut diinstitusionalisasikan secara domestik melalui integrasi sistem tata kelola digital SIMBARA guna mengoptimalkan penerimaan negara dan meningkatkan transparansi pengelolaan sumber daya. Kesimpulannya, fenomena empiris ini menantang asumsi utama neoliberalisme institusional mengenai kepatuhan otomatis terhadap rezim internasional dengan menunjukkan bahwa kekuatan menengah dari Global South mampu secara efektif menghadapi tekanan regulasi multilateral dan bertransformasi dari pemasok bahan mentah tradisional menjadi negara industri yang berdaulat melalui pemanfaatan daya ungkit mineral kritis.

Abstract

Contemporary international relations have shifted from coercive approaches toward non-coercive instruments such as cultural diplomacy and people-to-people interactions. In this context, language and education function as strategic mediums for shaping perceptions, values, and identities across borders. China utilizes the Confucius Institute as a key instrument to expand its cultural influence and promote a positive global image, including in Indonesia. The presence of Confucius Institute extends beyond a Mandarin language learning center, serving as a platform for social interaction through cultural programs, educational cooperation, and academic exchanges. Using a qualitative approach based on document analysis, the discussion is framed through constructivism and transnationalism perspectives to understand the dynamics of socio-cultural relations. The analysis indicates that interactions facilitated by Confucius Institute contribute to shaping more complex perceptions of China and strengthening cross-societal relations. However, these processes are also characterized by contested meanings influenced by Indonesia’s historical, social, and political context. Therefore, Confucius Institute can be understood as a transnational actor in fostering cross-societal relations, although its effectiveness depends on how such interactions are interpreted by local communities.
