Abstract

This article explores how South Korean gastrodiplomacy fosters Korean food business opportunities in Indonesia. Gastrodiplomacy, a soft diplomacy approach, uses cultural elements like cuisine to enhance bilateral relations and national image. South Korea has effectively leveraged the Korean Wave—a global phenomenon including music, drama, food, and lifestyle—to introduce its cuisine to international audiences, including Indonesia. The study outlines the historical and technological developments that spread Korean culture in Indonesia, leading to increased interest in Korean language, entertainment, and culinary experiences. Using qualitative methods like literature reviews and document analysis, it examines the impact of Korean culture on Indonesian society and the resulting business opportunities for Korean food. The article underscores the role of soft power in promoting cultural exchange and attracting Indonesian consumers to Korean cuisine. South Korean gastro diplomacy's success is evident in the rise of Korean restaurants and food stalls in Indonesia, catering to both Korean culture fans and the general public. However, challenges such as differing culinary preferences, limited access to authentic ingredients, cultural eating habits, pricing issues, and promotional strategies are identified as potential obstacles to expanding Korean food businesses in Indonesia. The study provides insights into how cultural diplomacy can create economic opportunities and enhance international cooperation by analyzing gastro diplomacy and its implementation through the Korean Wave. The findings suggest that strategic collaboration between the South Korean government and local stakeholders is essential to overcoming barriers and maximizing gastro diplomacy's benefits for both nations.

Abstract

This literature review examines China's rise as an emerging international hegemon and its impact on the transformation of the global order. Grounded in Organski's power transition theory, the study explores this framework's theoretical principles and empirical evidence while distinguishing it from classical realism. The review outlines the phases of power transition—potential power, transitional growth, and power maturity—and applies these phases to China's historical trajectory from an agrarian economy to an industrialized global power. Special emphasis is placed on pivotal milestones, including Mao Zedong's economic strategies, Deng Xiaoping's market reforms, and Xi Jinping's assertive policies such as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Through the lens of power transition theory, the article highlights China's strategic efforts to challenge Western dominance, particularly the United States (US), and reshape the international order. This study raises critical questions about the future of global leadership and stability amidst the shifting power dynamics between a declining US and a rising China.

Abstract

This literature review explores the concept of hegemonic stability in the context of rising global competition between the United States and China. Drawing upon foundational theories of hegemonic stability by scholars such as Robert Keohane, Charles P. Kindleberger, A. F. K. Organski, and Robert Gilpin, alongside Antonio Gramsci’s theory of hegemony, the paper examines how global leadership and stability are maintained through political, economic, and ideological dominance. The review traces the historical evolution of U.S. hegemony and investigates the emerging challenge posed by China's rapid economic growth, global infrastructure investments (notably the Belt and Road Initiative), and increasing international influence. Through a theoretical and empirical analysis, the paper argues that China's ascent marks a shift toward a multipolar world order and raises the question of whether China could potentially displace the United States as the global hegemon. The study concludes by emphasizing the significance of leadership, legitimacy, and consensus in sustaining international stability amid shifting power dynamics.

Abstract

Global dynamics show that human migration patterns continue to undergo transformation in line with technological developments. Whereas migration was previously explained through the traditional push and pull theory with a dominant pattern from the global north to the global south, new phenomena such as digital nomads have emerged as a form of change in the direction of migrant mobility. Digital nomads, who work remotely using digital technology, not only shape a new concept of migration, but also create added value for the digital economy of the destination country. To accommodate this phenomenon, a number of countries have begun to introduce digital nomad visa policies as a legal instrument that allows the digital nomad community to stay longer legally. Although the digital nomad visa policy has not yet become a joint ASEAN agenda, several countries in the Southeast Asian region have implemented this policy as part of their national interest strategy, such as Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. This policy has the potential to support the growing trend of ASEAN competitiveness in the field of innovation. This article analyses the impact of policy implementation on the prospects for the digital economy in the Southeast Asian region. The results of the study show that the transformation of migration patterns through digital nomad visa policies has the potential to accelerate the flow of knowledge exchange and enhance the region's position in the global digital economy. However, its effectiveness is limited by the lack of harmonisation of regional regulatory frameworks and the readiness of digital infrastructure. Thus, this transformation of migration patterns not only changes the way individuals move and work, but also repositions the meaning of traditional migration, which plays a strategic role in the consolidation of the digital economy and ASEAN's regional competitiveness in the era of digital globalisation.
