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.

Abstract

This research examines Indonesia's economic strategy in navigating simultaneous engagement with two major economic blocs, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and BRICS, specifically analyzing the relevance of the OECD for Indonesia after BRICS membership amidst the dynamics of economic growth of OECD countries. This research aims to analyze the potential of Indonesia's economic strategy through a hedging concept approach within the framework of BRICS membership and accession to the OECD. Using descriptive-qualitative method based on literature study and secondary data, the patterns of cooperation and economic performance of the two blocs are analyzed. The results show that engagement with BRICS does not diminish the strategic role of the OECD, BRICS offers opportunities through market expansion and access to alternative financing, while the OECD remains vital as a partner to promote structural reforms and improve national competitiveness.

Abstract

The study of international development politics initially had a status quo which was studied by categorizing countries between the North (“Global North”) and the South (“Global South”). Therefore, previous studies have focused more on using the concepts of Global North and Global South as a framework to describe global development inequality.   This article critiques the hierarchical ontology and epistemology prevalent in Global North and Global South studies in international development, which have been widely adopted but fail to capture the complexity of contemporary global relations adequately. This research employs a qualitative, literature-based methodology, drawing on critical scholarship in postcolonialism, development studies, and international relations. Through interpretive analysis and literature review, the study deconstructs dominant narratives surrounding the North–South divide and evaluates their theoretical and empirical limitations.   The findings reveal several key contributions to socio-political North–South studies. First, the article demonstrates that the binary classification fails to account for internal heterogeneity and dynamic transformations within states, as evidenced by cases such as Cina, which challenges conventional developmental hierarchies. Second, the study introduces a deconstructive framework inspired by Derridean thought, showing that the North–South dichotomy is not a neutral analytical tool, but a politically constructed discourse embedded with epistemic bias. Third, the incorporation of postcolonial perspectives, such as the “upside-down world map” and bottom-up approaches, offers a novel way to reconceptualize global relations beyond rigid geographical determinism. These findings advance the field by proposing that development should be understood as a multidimensional and context-specific process shaped by historical, sociological, and transnational factors, rather than fixed binary categories. Ultimately, this article contributes to the growing urgencies for a more reflexive, pluralistic, and decolonized framework in global development and international relations scholarship.

Abstract

This study examines Indonesia's air defense policy within the context of ASEAN regional security. It employs the concept of Air Superiority alongside the Regional Security Complex Theory (RSCT) to analyze significant acquisitions such as the Rafale fighter jet, the F-15EX, participation in the KF-21 Boramae program, the deployment of the NASAMS system, and multilateral exercises like Garuda Shield. The findings indicate that Indonesia's modernization efforts are a response to challenges to its sovereignty, frequent violations of its airspace, and emerging threats including drone and missile proliferation. Regionally, these enhancements to Indonesia's air power are altering the security balance in relation to well-equipped ASEAN neighbors such as Singapore and Malaysia, while also reinforcing ASEAN's cooperative but non-binding security mechanisms. The primary contribution of this study is its demonstration that Indonesia's modernization efforts strengthen national deterrence and promote regional stability, while also highlighting the limitations of ASEAN's institutional framework. Future research should include operational assessments and scenario-based exercises to better anticipate Indonesia's evolving role in ASEAN security

Abstract

Indonesia's decision to join BRICS in 2025 represents a significant foreign policy maneuver. This has generated both optimism and concern, particularly regarding its implications for national economic stability amidst the dynamics of rivalry between Western and non-Western powers. Current studies are limited to the locus of Indonesia's geopolitical strategy or diplomatic approach to BRICS, while readiness approaches to Indonesia's structural economic for deeper integration with BRICS are still relatively minimal. The absence of analyses that systematically assess Indonesia's economic vulnerability and resilience within BRICS membership constitutes a key research gap in this study. Methodologically, this study employs qualitative analysis through literature review, analysis on relevant statistical data, and triangulation with expert interviews from the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to deeply examine Indonesia's structural capacity. The findings indicate that Indonesia exhibits relatively strong economic resilience, while simultaneously facing moderate but structural economic vulnerability due to asymmetric economic relationships and high potential dependency with key partners. Consequently, the BRICS membership benefits for Indonesia depends primarily on domestic economic strengthening, ensuring that its membership enhances, rather than limits, national strategic autonomy. Thus, this article provides an evaluative framework to assess the economic implications of Indonesia's membership in BRICS in a measurable framework.

Abstract

Hunger in South Africa is a serious challenge that requires rapid and effective action to address its impacts. This research aims to explore strategies for alleviating hunger through implementing food aid programs and building food security in communities in need. The research method used is qualitative with a descriptive approach. The research results show that a combination of food aid and food security programs provides the best solution. Food aid can provide direct assistance to families in need, while food security programs aim to empower communities with the skills and resources to produce their own food. The importance of involving interested parties, including government, non-governmental organizations and the private sector, is highlighted in this research. Strong collaboration between various parties can increase the efficiency and positive impact of efforts to overcome hunger. This research makes an important contribution to understanding how best to address hunger in South Africa, providing a holistic and integrated view. It is hoped that the results of this research will serve as a guide for policy makers, humanitarian organizations and the general public in their efforts to combat hunger and improve food security in South Africa.
