Abstract

Southeast Asian countries are currently grappling with a significant rise in authoritarianism within the region. In this context, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is expected to play a pivotal role in safeguarding peace and prosperity throughout the region. However, the Myanmar crisis has exposed a deep fracture within ASEAN. The stability and tranquillity that have characterised at some times the ASEAN region are now severely threatened. The full-scale civil war in Myanmar, which originated from the coup d'état in 2021 following a protracted period of internal strife and the marginalisation of the Rohingya population, is not an isolated incident. Instances of conflict and coup d'états persist across ASEAN. For example, the 2014 coup in Thailand, the chronic crackdown in Cambodia and Vietnam, the tensions around the South China Sea, and the growing separatist movement in Papua illustrate the volatile policy landscape within ASEAN. This work's main objective is to address whether ASEAN should consider reforming its mechanisms, with particular attention to its no-interference policy. This paper relies on desk-based research, entailing a thorough review and analysis of the literature on ASEAN's political history. The study employs a critical literature review approach with a historical perspective on regionalism within ASEAN. By utilising the advanced constructivist theory concerning the concept of norms, this article analyses the repercussions of steadfastly adhering to certain norms, explicitly focusing on the principle of non-interference.

Abstract

This study analyzes the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on increasing poverty, food insecurity, and malnutrition in Indonesia. Specifically, the paper focuses on the effects of COVID-19 from 2019 to 2021 on poverty levels and access to food. The pandemic has emerged as a potential cause of food insecurity in the country, primarily due to the decline in purchasing power among individuals facing unemployment or income losses, particularly affecting the middle and poor classes. In response to these impacts, the Indonesian government has implemented various policies, although their success in addressing the issues has been varied. This paper is based on desk-based research, utilizing existing published literature on the topic. The literature has been thoroughly reviewed and analyzed to provide insights into the observed points that require attention. The primary factor driving the rise in food insecurity is the increased costs of basic food items resulting from the pandemic. Drawing from the social inequality Marxist theory and the theory of capabilities proposed by Amartya Sen, this paper examines how the COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to increased injustice, poverty, and inequality. Furthermore, it explores how these issues have been exacerbated by deeper-rooted factors associated with legal and economic policies in Indonesia.

Abstract

NGOs play a crucial role in safeguarding human dignity, especially in developing countries like Indonesia, where they strategically work to address pressing human rights issues. However, NGOs encounter various challenges that impede their efforts. This research specifically focuses on the challenges faced by NGOs working in human trafficking and exploitation in Indonesia. The analysis is based on data obtained from interviews conducted with four NGOs and an independent worker specializing in the exploitation and trafficking of underage individuals. Moreover, this study delves into the socio-economic problems underlying human trafficking in Indonesia. Drawing inspiration from Marxist theories of labor and poverty, it posits that the issue of human trafficking in Indonesia is closely intertwined with socio-economic instability—particularly affecting the most impoverished segment of the population. The research identifies poverty as a key factor fueling exploitation and trafficking in Indonesia. Furthermore, the study reveals implementation challenges and a lack of alignment with international conventions, such as the Palermo Protocols, in enforcing Indonesia's national law against human trafficking (Law No. 21/2007). These issues are particularly apparent in cases involving underage victims. Keywords: exploitation, human trafficking, NGO, Indonesia

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has taken mankind by surprise and has caused many governments to impose various rules and strategies to contain it. This article discusses the social impact of government policies during COVID-19, the role of agencies other than the government, and the importance of human rights. Collaborative Governance regime and theory are used to complement qualitative methods and for quantitative method, data collection techniques based on literature research, institutional reports, survey results from journals, online media, and print media, as well as the input of experts in focus group discussions. We found that 1) inconsistencies in policy; 2) lack of coordination and leadership; 3) trust issues; and (4) inequalities and injustice performances increased the pressure on social compliance. Our results indicate that the government needs to be more agile to accommodate, nurture and integrate social actors as governance partners in order to ensure its efficacy, resilience and compliance during this pandemic. The government  needs to ensure that an inclusive approach is adopted in multi-dimensional channels so none is left behind and the collaborative governance framework in this pandemic war needs to be improved and implemented. In addition,the government should ensure equal treatment of human rights as specially in human safety in health and safety measures.

Abstract

This research examines the political and economic dynamics of Italy and Indonesia in relation to their engagement with China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Drawing from the theoretical tradition of state instrumentalism and recent conceptualisations of the “infrastructure state” as an emerging global phenomenon, we argue that initiatives such as the BRI do serve the purposes of political elites in both the developing and developed world. The comparative analysis between the two dissimilar countries, Italy and Indonesia, reveals the existence of a broader global trend. Both experience democratic backsliding while strategically engaging with the BRI to meet their infrastructural needs and political objectives. This study contributes to understanding how domestic political dynamics and external economic opportunities intersect in shaping the developmental trajectories of middle-power states within the global geopolitical landscape.
