Abstract

Critical infrastructures are the important element to support the social cohesion in a certain area. Therefore, it is necessary to protect critical infrastructures in order to maintain the sustainability of the assets. There are many attempts of states to control the security of their critical infrastructures, one of them is using Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, a control system in which to monitor and retrieve data under the supervision of an operator. However, although countries are aware of the preventive action over their critical infrastructures, it is still possible to fail. In this case, Ukraine which has a relatively secure control system was failed in protecting its power grids from multiple hacker attacks which contributed to blackouts in December 2015. The devastating failure of Ukraine’s security system has led public opinion to point a finger to Russia since the relationship of both countries is at stake. In this sense, Ukraine issued a speech act to securitise its critical infrastructures. By exercising securitisation theory, this article would discuss further about the fruitfulness of the speech act after the failure of the security system in protecting Ukraine’s power grids.

Abstract

The evidence shown from the last decade shows that Indonesia has been the constant target of cyber attacks, hence, the urgency to respond cyber threats with its according and appropriate response: a more securitized response. The existing literatures, however, have shown that the academic discourse national retaliation against the cyber threat is rarely guided by the Copenhagen School’s Securitization Theory, which has established a massive gap on why the the discourse has not been the mainstream approach on tackling Indonesia’s national threat on its cyber infrastructures. As a conclusion, the analytical lenses by the Barry Buzan and Ole Waever is strictly adopting concepts to define its own securitization process, but each concepts are still lacking of the depth required to wholefully understand how ideal securitization should and would work. Nonetheless, putting a state’s political actor as the securitization actor deemed to be putting too much emphasize as the state as the main national stakeholders, putting the society in an absurd position within the process of securitization.

Abstract

This article believes that university students should possess a higher level of critical thinking skills after they graduate, which can also be evaluated from their thesis writing project. The capacity to formulate a logical research problem based on empirical observation and academic evaluation is the indicator we are trying to have, thus, assess. This assessment is not the only agenda we are having in this community service activity; we also try to improve and elevate students' capacity of understanding how research works by providing further mentorship consisting of brainstorming and discussion sessions to ignite their critical thinking capacity. Nevertheless, this activity has a guiding question whether university students are able to critically identify and formulate research questions for their thesis writing project. By accepting and archiving their ideas and research proposals, we have found three important findings. First, the students are still struggling to start and set up their research proposals since many of their empirical observations are based on the subjective perception of reality, inspired from self-centered activities like hobbies and subjective preferences. Second, these subjective interpretations manifest into the low awareness of the existing previous literature for their own research, hence, making their research topic to be far from possessing an urgency of writing both empirically and academically. Third, it was also imperative that most of the students are not fully aware of the options of theoretical and conceptual framework they will use as the analytical lenses, left alone its definitions, its applications, and its debates.

Abstract

This article discusses the implementation of FPCI Goes to School (FGTS) 4.0, an educational outreach initiative conducted by the Foreign Policy Community of Indonesia (FPCI) Chapter UPN Veteran Jakarta, with the objective of increasing students’ awareness and understanding of international political dynamics. The initiative addresses the growing need for public literacy on global issues that often have indirect but significant effects on national and local communities, such as trade disruptions and inflation caused by geopolitical conflicts. Using the Russia-Ukraine war as the primary case study, this activity sought to explore how international events influence domestic realities, including the rising cost of grain-based products and the spread of digital propaganda. The program was held at Muhammadiyah 2 Senior High School Jakarta and employed a participatory method involving socialization sessions, group discussions, and pre-test and post-tests evaluations to measure knowledge gain and critical thinking. Findings show that students demonstrated a strong grasp of basic geopolitical knowledge (+90% correct identification) and high level of awareness regarding digital security practices (+95% relevant answers). Slightly lower comprehension was observed in questions requiring simple analytical reasoning about international politics. This activity concludes that early exposure to international political education, delivered through targeted civic engagement programs, is promising to cultivate for a more globally-aware and resilient future citizens.

Abstract

Stabilitas regional Asia Tenggara diuji tidak hanya oleh persaingan Kekuatan Besar global di kawasan ini, tetapi juga oleh berkembangnya kejahatan lintas batas yang berubah, yaitu jaringan terorisme terorganisir. Dalam perspektif Studi Keamanan, dapat dipahami bahwa hambatan-hambatan regional ini dapat berwujud dalam tindakan ekstrem yang dapat lebih mengancam stabilitas keamanan kawasan. Menangani dan mengelola kejahatan lintas batas sulit untuk ditangani secara independen; oleh karena itu, negara-negara anggota ASEAN di kawasan Asia Tenggara bergabung dan membentuk mekanisme keamanan regional melalui ASEAN sebagai sarana kerja sama regional dalam menekan ancaman lintas batas. Namun, banyak studi akademik dalam dekade terakhir masih menilai ASEAN sebagai organisasi keamanan internasional yang cacat, meskipun memiliki prinsip-prinsip dasar dengan pendekatan kolaboratif dalam tugasnya untuk menekan kejahatan terorganisir lintas batas di kawasan ini. Artikel ini berargumen bahwa kesimpulan ini disebabkan oleh sudut pandang dalam menilai efektivitas ASEAN melalui pendekatan neo-institusionalisme. Dengan kata lain, makalah ini berargumen bahwa mengukur efektivitas sebuah institusi berdasarkan keterbatasan dan kepatuhan terhadap aturan-aturan formal atau informalnya diyakini kurang kontekstual untuk mengevaluasi ASEAN dan mekanismenya dalam menghadapi kejahatan terorganisir lintas batas di tingkat regional. Secara keseluruhan, pendekatan neo-institusionalisme tidak sepenuhnya memperhatikan kepentingan politik domestik negara anggota ASEAN sebagai salah satu dari banyak elemen penting dalam pengembangan mekanisme ASEAN dalam menangani kejahatan lintas batas.

Abstract

Indonesia's government has faced significant criticism for its lack of transparency regarding defense and military expenditures. In early 2024, this issue garnered peak public attention when Prabowo Subianto, a key figure in Indonesia's military activities, defended the non-transparent approach as vital for securing regional strategic interests. This stance conflicts with the principles of liberal democracy, which prioritize public needs and aspirations. After reviewing existing literature, this paper finds that the Civil-Military Relations (CMR) theory has not yet been applied to assess the issue of military transparency at a domestic level. This study examines whether CMR theory can serve as an analytical framework for the discord between public demands for transparency towards military organizations. The findings suggest that while CMR theory is relevant to the relationship between civil and military and its justification for public demands for military transparency, the normative framework itself is inconsistent. Resonating with the existing literature, this paper also finds that this CMR is yet to be integrated with the corridor of political science and, thus best studied for practical and strategic needs; hence explains the requirement to assess more contextual and nuanced variables.

Abstract

In the aftermath of the Cold War, the United States not only sought to preserve the NATO alliance but also supported its eastward enlargement. Beginning in 1999, NATO welcomed new member states; most were from the former Soviet bloc. America’s support for NATO enlargement deserves scrutiny. Why did the United States support NATO enlargement even when the Cold War had ended? To answer such a question is to uncover the rationale behind America’s decision. This is what this research aims to do. Utilizing the publicly available archival materials from the administrations of George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton and through a review of the scholarly literature, we argue that the U.S. decision to support NATO enlargement is largely consistent with the basic premise of offensive realism: that states are acutely aware of uncertainty and that they seek to maximize their power for security reasons. Notwithstanding the presence of liberal ideals, America’s support for NATO enlargement, in other words, did have sound strategic rationale.

Abstract

Educational inequality in Indonesia remains a significant challenge, as reflected in the low proportion of citizens with higher education degrees and the predominance of high school graduates as the highest educational attainment. University students, as part of the educated minority, hold a moral responsibility to redistribute the academic privilege they possess to the broader community. This article presents a report on a Community Service Program (PKM) titled It’s English Buddy, an online English-teaching initiative launched by students of the International Relations Study Program at UPN Veteran Jakarta. The program offers individual and group English conversation sessions at affordable prices, adopting a non-distributing profit approach to ensure operational sustainability. Supported by literature on the effectiveness of online learning in enhancing academic performance through flexibility and accessibility, the program has successfully reached participants of various ages and backgrounds. The results show that most participants are women and were recruited primarily through personal networks, highlighting the importance of public communication strategies and trust-building. Overall, It’s English Buddy demonstrates the potential of student-led grassroots educational initiatives as a meaningful contribution to expanding learning opportunities within society.

Abstract

Korupsi di Indonesia sejak memasuki era reformasi justru semakin meningkat kuantitasnya. Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK) meningkatkan usahanya dalam melakukan penangkapan tersangka korupsi. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa pemberatasan korupsi di negeri ini belum tuntas. Salah satu pihak yang sering terkena Operasi Tangkap Tangan (OTT) KPK adalah pejabat publik, yang umumnya berasal dari partai politik. Selama ini pihak yang harus bertanggung jawab adalah pejabat publik itu sendiri. Namun, menurut penulis partai politik juga mempunyai peran yang tidak sedikit. Partai harusnya mempersiapkan kader-kader terbaiknya sebagai calon pejabat-pejabat publik di semua tingkatan. Partai harus melatih mereka sedemikian rupa agar tidak tergoda oleh perbuatan korupsi. Oleh karena itu, jika kader-kadernya melakukan korupsi saat mereka sudah duduk di pemerintahan, maka sudah seharusnya partai bertanggung jawab. Korupsi adalah kejahatan luar biasa, untuk itu penulis mengusulkan agar jika sebuah partai korupsi, maka ia harus dibubarkan. Mekanisme pembubaran partai sudah diatur dalam UU Partai Politik, dengan kewenangan pembubaran ada pada Mahkamah Konstitusi. Sekalipun sampai saat ini belum ada partai yang dibubarkan, bahkan sekedar diajukan untuk dibubarkan, karena kasus korupsi. Implikasi teoritis dari riset ini adalah parpol yang melanggar prinsip-prinsip dasar dari demokrasi, apalagi terkena kasus korupsi, sebaiknya dibubarkan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan data primer diperoleh melalui teknik observasi lapangan, sedangkan data sekunder didapatkan menggunakan studi dokumentasi. Pencarian data dilakukan pada awal sampai pertengahan tahun 2021 dengan melakukan observasi lapangan dan pengumpulan data sekunder melalui buku, jurnal ilmiah, dan artikel di media massa daring. Tulisan ini akan melihat bagaimana mekanisme pembubaran partai politik secara umum berdasarkan UU Partai Politik. Namun, secara khusus penulis akan membahas pembubaran partai politik jika terbukti melakukan tindak pidana korupsi.
