Abstract

The role of education in post conflict reconstruction has become increasingly important and gained much greater acknowledgment in development studies in recent years. Education is increasingly accepted as an integral part of humanitarian response in emergencies. It can help conflict-affected community and individual to return to normalcy, safeguard the most vulnerable, provide psychosocial care, promote tolerance, unify divided communities, and begin the process of reconstruction and peace building. However, research also suggests that education can encourage intolerance, create or generate inequality, and intensify social tensions that can lead to civil conflict and violence. Education is a key determinant of income, influence, and power. Inequalities in educational access can lead to other inequalities–in income, employment, nutrition and health as well as political position, which can be an important source of conflict. Hence, education has potential to either aggravate the conditions that lead to conflict or to heal them. Nonetheless, the unavoidable conclusions must be that ignoring education, or postponing it, is not an option. This essay attempts to answer question on how post-conflict education be able to contribute to social transformation and sustainable development. It argues that education in general has a key role in both preventing conflict and rebuilding fractured post-conflict societies. Hence it puts forward education as a human development activity and must be undertaken with a development perspective if it is to contribute reversing the damage and to building resilience to prevent further violence conflict.

Abstract

Republic of China (Taiwan) has a long history of foreign aid policy/programs towards Honduras, one of their most consistent and strategic allies in the Central American region. As shifts in Taiwan’s foreign policy gradually increased participation of civil actors and number of development projects in Honduras, the arrival of COVID-19 pandemic brought changes to the said aid programs. As a result, Taiwan’s foreign aid program to Honduras changed from development projects to the transfer of medical equipment; masks, ventilators, thermal imager, and test kits from Taiwan to Honduras. As per objective of foreign aid in Taiwan’s white paper on foreign aid policy, foreign aid is utilized to ensure closeness with Taiwan’s diplomatic allies, including Honduras. This study hence is aimed to extensively explore the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on Taiwan’s aid to Honduras through qualitative-descriptive means. In the end, uncertainty lingers around the future of Taiwan’s diplomatic relations with Honduras and subsequent foreign aid policy limited by their inability to produce vaccines, perhaps showing the weakness of Taiwan’s previous shift to value-based aid approaches in times of crisis compared to material aid. Keywords: Covid 19, Foreign/Medical Aid, Honduras, Taiwan, Vaccines

Abstract

The recent military coup in Myanmar has shocked ASEAN countries, causing some to question ASEAN’s trajectory and approach to addressing the democratization issue. ASEAN countries have taken different approaches, as reflected in the UN General Assembly’s call to halt arms sales to Myanmar. Meanwhile, Indonesia, the world’s third-largest democracy, the largest democracy in Southeast Asia, and an ASEAN founding member, has taken the lead. Indonesia brought the issue to the ASEAN Leaders’ Meeting on 24 April 2021, resulting in a five-point consensus. However, it demonstrated no actual progress so far. Many scholars, democracy activists, and foreign policy observers consider Indonesia’s role since its success in reforming its military and turning it into a professional after having political domination. Thus, this paper examined different perspectives on how Indonesia encourages democracy in the region. Recent development depicts that Indonesia has subtly challenged the traditional non-interference policy approach. This paper enables Indonesia to maintain ASEAN’s constructive engagement. Indonesia must become a role model as the champion for a civilian rule that will not make Myanmar’s military weaker, less prosperous, or no longer be appreciated as the glue of the country—but vice versa. This paper also recommends intensifying the Indonesian military to military engagement with Myanmar.

Abstract

The increasing role of civil society in development has challenged the very idea of mainstream development in which state as central actor and infrastructure development is the primary focus. The people-centred development encouraged by civil society and NGO’s has contributed to bring the development back to the people, but in doing so, NGO’s may be perceived as the challenger of the state rather than the coplimentary partner of the state.

Abstract

Negara-negara emerging donors dianggap belum memiliki pola yang konsisten dalam pemberian bantuan luar negeri dan sebagaimana halnya negara-negara donor tradisional yang lebih mengedepankan kepentingan politik dan komersil dalam pemberian bantuan. India sebagai negara berkembang dan mempunyai permasalahan ekonomi domestik, bukan menjadi penghalang untuk berkontribusi dalam pembangunani internasional. India dari waktu ke waktu semakin meningkatkan komitmennya pada pemberian bantuan luar negeri. Tulisan ini mencoba untuk menjelaskan mengenai pola pemberian bantuan luar negeri negara emerging donors melihat dari faktor determinan dan perspektif Kanan-Kiri. Hal ini dikarenakan negara emerging donor termasuk India bukan merupakan negara DAC, sehingga pemberian bantuan luar negeri di tentukan sendiri oleh negara donor.
