Abstract

The 2022 Winter Olympics Beijing have drawn a lot of attention since a number of important nations have put a diplomatic boycott on the event. The United States, Britain, and Canada were among the nations that enacted a diplomatic embargo. Using a constructivism theory approach, this research will attempt to give an analytical study of the occurrence of this boycott. Instead of adopting traditional approaches like liberalism and realism, the author believes that this approach offers a fresh viewpoint on this phenomenon. From a constructivist perspective, the nation that imposed a diplomatic boycott on the Beijing 2022 Olympics was regarded as having constructive elements that encourage such behavior. Every nation has its own factors that will shift the way that nations make decisions. The main argument of this paper is that there are three main factors that construct the boycott behavior of these countries. The first is the construction of friend vs foe between the boycotting countries and China as the hostcountry. Boycott countries that share ideological similarities construct a point of view that China is an enemy to them because of their differences. The second argument is the existence of China's construction as a country that perpetrates human rights violations. This prompted the boycotting countries to protest with the boycott. The third argument is the existence of bilateral problems between countries. Some countries, such as Canada, have bilateral problems with China, which then encourage the construction of boycott behavior that occurs.

Abstract

Every country has its own foreign policy. Foreign policy is used by a country to behave respond to conflicts that occur in the international world, according to its interests. Indonesia as a country is no different. The policy provided can be in the form of foreign aid support or just a neutral, pro or contra attitude. Indonesia has always played an active role in responding to international phenomena and their escalation. One of the international conflicts that Indonesia has actively contributed to is the conflict in Lebanon involving the militant group Hezbollah and Israel. The conflict in Lebanon has been going on for a long time, but recently the conflict has escalated again. Indonesia, as a country that strongly opposes war and colonization, was certainly moved to see this. Indonesia decided to help by continuing to send Garuda Contingent security forces assistance, in the UNIFIL (United Nations Interim Force In Lebanon) mission under the auspices of the UN (United Nations). Behind Indonesia’s foreign policy in continuing to send security force assistance, there must be many considerations. There are projections of values, norms, and identities that want to be maintained. In addition, maintaining this policy does not rule out of the possibility of opening up other opportunities that are beneficial to Indonesia.
