Abstract

War is not always bad, for certain parties war can sometimes be a source of grace that can be functioned, for example in the case of the Israeli-Palestinian war. This article aims to find out how the ongoing war has a positive impact on China and how China's involvement in the ongoing Palestinian-Israeli peace efforts have cost more than 25,000 lives. This study uses a qualitative analysis method, where the latest and relevant facts and information related to the Israeli-Palestinian war and China's attitude towards the ongoing war are collected, then analyzed based on the framework of the topic being discussed, namely seeing the war from the Chinese perspective. The results of this study conclude that the ongoing war between Israel and Palestine indirectly benefits China both geo-economically and geopolitically and even strategically. The war not only reduces American dominance in the Asian region politically and economically, the war also gives China the opportunity to strengthen China’s soft power in the Middle East and Africa with its involvement as a mediator.

Abstract

This paper examines the development of the energy sector in the Islamic world, focusing on the challenges and opportunities facing Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) countries in the transition to sustainable energy. Despite being rich in natural resources, many Islamic countries are still dependent on fossil fuels and face constraints in universal energy access. This study analyzes the current energy landscape in OIC countries, identifies key barriers to energy development, and emphasizes the need for a new roadmap that integrates knowledge and development. The research also investigates the potential role of Islamic finance in funding sustainable energy projects, with a particular focus on innovations such as green sukuk. The global trend towards renewable energy and sustainable development is discussed in the context of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The study finds that despite facing significant challenges, the Islamic world has a great opportunity to take the lead in the global energy transition by utilizing natural resources, innovative financial instruments, and a commitment to sustainable development. In conclusion, this journal highlights the importance of international collaboration, knowledge transfer, and sustainable investment in realizing a cleaner and more sustainable energy future for the Islamic world and the global community.

Abstract

This study offers a comparative analysis of the postcolonial experiences of Muslim communities in Aceh (Indonesia) and Mindanao (Philippines), focusing specifically on the impact of colonialism on institutions, legal structures, and religious identity. Both regions, while sharing a Muslim-majority population and a long history of colonial domination, have developed distinct trajectories in their approaches to governance, law, and cultural identity within contemporary democratic frameworks. Aceh, as a province of Indonesia, implements Islamic Sharia through special autonomy, reflecting a negotiated balance between local religious identity and national legal structures. In contrast, Mindanao continues to face challenges in securing Muslim rights through peace agreements, such as the Bangsamoro Organic Law, highlighting ongoing struggles over institutional autonomy and legal recognition. Employing a comparative approach, this study analyses three main aspects: the legacy of colonial institutions and legal systems, postcolonial transformations in governance and identity, and the dynamics of Muslim political participation in democratic states. The findings demonstrate that colonialism has left a profound imprint on the social, legal, and religious structures of both regions, but their responses have diverged due to differences in cultural contexts, national policies, and local agencies. This study contributes to broader discussions on decolonization and Islamic studies in the Global South by highlighting the diversity of post-colonial Muslim experiences in democratic societies.

Abstract

In the liberal concept, especially neoliberal, countries that cooperate tend to have less potential for conflict. However, this does not apply to US-China relations which are more often in tension, but until the Biden administration China-America still has a strong dependence in economic relations. The China-US relationship is often referred to as the "Thucydides Trap" but this theory has many shortcomings in explaining reality. After analyzing, it is found that China - America relations are more easily analogized to the relationship between cats and mice in the cartoon series "Tom and Jerry" who are often hostile but occasionally also work together for mutual interests, goals, and security.

Abstract

Post-conflict Aceh and Bangsamoro continue to face significant governance challenges marked by ineffective autonomy and the consolidation of religiously-grounded political authority. While special autonomy theoretically provides an inclusive framework for development, in practice, authority remains monopolized by elites who draw legitimacy from Islamic symbols. The rise of figures labeled as ‘abang-abang syar’i’ (male leaders who publicly represent Islam) demonstrates how public displays of piety are often intertwined with patronage, collusion and kinship-based power consolidation. In Aceh, widespread trust in religious scholars conceals an accommodative and hierarchical power structure, while in Bangsamoro, religious rhetoric is strategically deployed to distribute benefits narrowly within elite circles. This study adopts a comparative perspective and a theoretical framework integrating Islamic patrimonialism, moral politics, masculinity, and Islamic neopopulism. The findings suggest that religious symbolism primarily operates as aesthetic legitimation, while entrenched corruption and patronage networks continue to undermine inclusive, accountable, and socially-just governance.
