Abstract

The internationalization of Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs) has emerged as a prominent phenomenon in global trade and political dynamics. Sinopec, one of China's leading SOEs in the energy sector, exemplifies this trend through its engagement in Angola. This research explores Sinopec’s internationalization strategies, focusing on its motivations, the geopolitical context of its operations, and its contributions to both China’s energy security and Angola’s economic recovery. Utilizing a qualitative methodology, this study analyzes secondary data from government reports, academic sources, and policy documents. Findings reveal that Sinopec’s expansion is driven by China's long-term goals of energy security and geopolitical influence, aligning with broader initiatives such as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Moreover, Sinopec’s investments have significantly contributed to Angola’s infrastructure development, although concerns persist about environmental impact, governance, and local social dynamics.

Abstract

Japan’s postwar defensive orientation has been recast into a more active maritime strategy under Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. Existing studies have traced Japan’s broader security normalization, alliance strengthening, and legal-institutional change, yet they have given less sustained attention to the maritime operational logic through which those shifts were translated into balancing in the East China Sea. This article examines how Japan’s maritime defense policy evolved in response to persistent Chinese gray-zone coercion around the Senkaku Islands. Using a qualitative single-case design, it draws on Japanese strategic documents, defense reports, maritime-security data, and relevant academic literature. The analysis combines William D. Coplin’s decision-making framework with Ariel González Levaggi’s maritime-strategy typology. The article finds that Japan’s policy shift was driven by the interaction of three variables, external pressure from China, growing domestic acceptance of defense strengthening, and the fiscal-technological capacity to implement strategic change. These conditions produced a layered defensive-defense posture expressed through coastal defense, sea denial, selective sea control, and limited regional power projection. Kishida inherited an earlier trajectory of reform, then accelerated its maritime consolidation and anchored it in an East China Sea strategy suited to prolonged gray-zone competition under constitutional restraint.

Abstract

This article examines how China's Dual Circulation Strategy reshapes China–Germany economic cooperation in the manufacturing sector. Using a qualitative case study of bilateral manufacturing relations after 2020, it analyses how China's state-capitalist industrial strategy affects German manufacturing through changes in trade patterns, investment localization, industrial competition, supply-chain dependence, and state-business relations. The article argues that Dual Circulation should not be read as economic isolation or direct decoupling. It is better understood as a state-led effort to strengthen domestic demand, technological self-reliance, and industrial capacity while preserving external circulation where it supports China's upgrading. For German manufacturers, Dual Circulation produces a more selective and contested form of interdependence. China remains an important market, production base, and supply-chain node, while also becoming a stronger competitor in automobiles, batteries, machinery, chemicals, and advanced industrial technologies.

Abstract

On a fundamental level, the conceptualization of social capital has been developed by various prominent thinkers. While previous studies have mainly discussed social capital through networks, trust, participation, and institutional access, This article offers a different reading by treating it as a classificatory discourse that ranks social relations and shapes how community life is recognized in development. It examines the concept of social capital in Southeast Asian development discourse. The objective is to reconsider social capital as a concept that not only describes cooperation, but also influences how development understands community, inequality, and institutional access. The study uses a qualitative and interpretive method based on critical document analysis. It reads theoretical works on social capital, critical development literature, and studies on Southeast Asian development through a post-structuralist approach. The analysis is organized around three themes: social capital as a governing vocabulary, the hierarchy of bonding, bridging, and linking ties, and the marginalization of informal and vernacular practices. The findings show that social capital became influential because it offered a practical language for participation, trust, and community-based development. However, this language can also recast structural inequality as weak community capacity. In Southeast Asia, kinship, religious mutual aid, migrant networks, adat authority, patronage, and informal welfare are often less valued when they do not fit formal development categories. The article argues for a more critical sociology of social capital that places networks within power, recognition, and inequality,

Abstract

Studi ini didasarkan untuk mengeksplorasi upaya perjuangan advokasi Greenpeace bersama Pemuda Adat Papua (PAP) atas masyarakat adat Awyu yang mengalami suboridinasi di tengah pembangunan neoliberal. Terdapat dua pertanyaan kunci yang diajukan dalam penelitian ini. Pertama, bagaimana agenda dan praktik pembangunan neoliberal yang dijalankan melalui struktur governmentality pada gilirannya mengeksklusi dan mengalienasikan keberadaan suku Awyu? Kedua, bagaimana upaya advokasi di tingkat akar-rumput? Penelitian ini menunjukkan pengeksklusian terhadap masyarakat adat suku Awyu tidak dapat dilepaskan oleh struktur sentralistik bergaya neoliberal dijalankan oleh negara. Praktik governmentality dapat diamati melalui kontrol langsung kepada masyarakat adat melalui beragam modus-modus pendisiplinan lewar ide pembangunan yang kian privat. Posisi Awyu lantas berada sebagai pihak the others atau sebagai pihak subaltern yang berujung pada marjinalisasi dan eksploitasi melalui program pembangunan sentralistik. Sebagai bentuk resistensi dari ketimpangan yang ada, lahirlah upaya advokasi secara domestik dan transnasional guna mewakili pihak sub-altern tersebut. Forest Defender Camp dan seruan #AllEyesonPapua adalah salah satu contoh gerakan kolaborasi yang dilakukan Greenpeace dan pemuda adat Papua serta seluruh elemen Masyarakat dalam perjuangan dari adanya ketidakadilan yang terjadi.   Kata Kunci: Advokasi, Governmentality, Neoliberalisme, Suku Awyu
