In globalization era, great powers pose more intense and wider influence toward other lesser states in the globe. Theoritically, Walt argues that medium and lesser states tend to align toward greater powers to have protection against threat.

This paper will examine the benefit for Indonesia to ally with the United States OF America in a case of securing the trouble water in Ambalat Sea Bloc.Keywords: globalization, great power, medium state, quasi-alliance, Ambalat Sea Bloc.

Abstract

Pertamina and Eni faced double strike problems. The Italian government did not grant the license for building Indonesian crude palm oil (CPO) based green finery to Eni-Pertamina as most Indonesian CPO producers do not possess RSPO certificates and the EU restricts the use of CPO. The policies resulted in opportunities loss for Pertamina and Eni in 2019. This qualitative paper examined the logical reasons behind the Italian government decision by two levels of analysis, domestic and regional locus. The finding shows that domestically, political circumstances among parties and figures, other than CPO commodities farmers, played a significant role in the cancellation. The historical instability in Italy domestic political situation also brought it closer to revocation. On another level, the ups and downs of Italy-the EU relations before and during Conte I and Conte II government were a regional reason behind it.

Abstract

The Madagascar's strategic partnership with China aims to enhance its defense capabilities. Given its strategic location and limited resources, Madagascar has increasingly relied on defense diplomacy to build a robust defense industry. This collaboration leverages China's extensive experience in defense industry development. The main question that the researcher answers in this paper is «how Madagascar navigates the complex geopolitical landscape to cultivate a homegrown defense industry with China's support». The researcher employs qualitative methods, including case studies, policy analysis, and stakeholder interviews, to examine the historical context, strategic goals, and implementation of defense diplomacy. Key objectives include military modernization, developing a local defense industry, and improving security. The cooperation involves military aid, training and industrial cooperation. Despite challenges such as dependency risks and geopolitical tensions, the partnership has resulted in significant benefits, including enhanced military capabilities and economic development. The paper highlights the importance of strategic planning, effective implementation, and balanced international relations. This study underscores the critical role of defense diplomacy in achieving national security and development goals for small nations like Madagascar.
