Abstract

The US-China trade war is a trade conflict that has an impact on the global economy. In this trade war, the hegemon state becomes the main global focus. Therefore, the US-China trade war reflects the rivalry between two superpowers that influence global economic stability. This trade war creates uncertainty for economies around the world. This research examines the concept of hegemonic stability theory in the US-China trade war which reflects the rivalry between hegemons. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method. This research also uses the theory of hegemonic stability in the international system. Moreover, this research used literature study techniques to obtain relevant data. The results show that the US-China trade wars have an impact on the global economy. This study finds that Canada and Australia suffer from trade disruption, while Vietnam benefits from investment diversion. The emergence of China as a new and great economic power proves the hegemonic stability though, that a world with more than one dominant player causes chaos, especially in the world economy.

Abstract

Indonesia’s accession to BRICS marks a significant milestone in the country’s evolving foreign policy and economic strategy amidst shifting global power configurations. This study examined Indonesia’s membership through the dual lenses of economic opportunity and geopolitical tension, exploring how participation in the BRICS grouping may accelerate economic growth while also posing new strategic dilemmas. By adopting the theoretical framework of cooperation combined with the dual theoretical framework of complex interdependence and middle power diplomacy, the analysis investigated Indonesia’s motivations for joining BRICS, including aspirations to diversify economic partnerships, attract foreign investment, and reduce dependency on Western-led institutions. At the same time, the study highlights potential challenges related to diplomatic alignment, institutional coherence, and the risk of strategic entanglement in rivalries among major powers, particularly China, Russia, and India. Drawing on qualitative policy analysis, official statements, trade data, and geopolitical assessments, the study discovered that while BRICS membership may offer Indonesia enhanced economic bargaining power and access to alternative development finance, it also requires a delicate balancing of its long-held non-aligned stance and ASEAN-centric diplomacy. The study contributes to the literature on South-South cooperation and middle power diplomacy by offering a timely and critical assessment of how emerging economies like Indonesia navigate the evolving architecture of global governance through multilateral platforms like BRICS.
