Abstract

This study aims to analyze how the policing of demonstrations in Indonesia and South Korea reflects the relationship between human security and civil liberties in the context of post-authoritarian democracy. Using a qualitative approach with a Most Similar Systems Design (MSSD), this study combines thematic analysis and narrative comparison of legal documents, human rights institution reports, and national and international media sources. The results show that although both countries have electoral democratic systems, fundamental differences arise in how the state interprets and implements public security. In Indonesia, the policing of demonstrations tends to perpetuate the authoritarian legacy through coercive legalism and digital surveillance, which suppresses public participation. In contrast, South Korea maintains a relative balance between control and the protection of citizens' rights. These findings expand our understanding of how technology, law, and political culture interact in shaping security practices in democratic countries. Theoretically, this research confirms the importance of the human security paradigm in evaluating democratic governance. Practically, the results encourage institutional reform and transparency in the use of surveillance technology, aligning with human rights principles.

Abstract

This study discusses the dynamics of localizing global norms for child protec- tion in the context of preventing child marriage in Bone Regency through Amitav Acharya’s localization theory and the Pentahelix collaborative model. Although Indonesia has ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child and imple- mented various national policies, the practice of child marriage remains preva- lent due to the strength of local social and cultural norms, such as the value of siri’ na pacce and literal interpretations of religious teachings. This study employs a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews of key actors, includ- ing local government officials, religious leaders, academics, children’s forums, and the media. The findings show that the SIP PEKA program has success- fully reduced the number of child marriage dispensations by integrating con- textual educational, regulatory, and participatory approaches. However, chal- lenges remain in the form of limited binding local regulations, limited media support, and sectoral egoism among agencies. Therefore, stronger cross- sectoral collaboration and broader community participation are key to strengthening the program’s sustainability. This research contributes to inter- national relations studies by highlighting how global norms can be absorbed and reinterpreted in local contexts through responsive and participatory ap- proaches.

Abstract

The development of global diplomacy reveals an increasing role for subnational actors in international relations, alongside the strengthening of decentralization and multilevel governance. In Indonesia, this phenomenon creates an opportunity for the Regional Representative Council (DPD RI) to contribute by representing regional interests. This study aims to analyze the position, potential, and limitations of the DPD in Indonesia's subnational diplomacy, employing a descriptive qualitative approach that integrates the theories of paradiplomacy and parliamentary diplomacy. The findings reveal that the DPD has significant potential to serve as a laboratory for paradiplomacy, particularly through its coordinative, advocacy, and facilitative roles in promoting regional interests with an international dimension. However, this role has not been optimized due to limitations in formal authority, the lack of institutionalized mechanisms for region-based diplomacy, and the dominance of executive actors and the DPR in the national diplomatic structure. This study concludes that strengthening the role of the DPD requires regulatory adjustments, enhanced collaboration among the DPD, DPR, and the MOFA, and the development of a diplomatic agenda based on regional strengths. Theoretically, this study contributes to the enrichment of subnational parliamentary diplomacy studies, and practically offers policy directions towards a more inclusive and multilevel Indonesian diplomacy.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the dynamics of Indonesia's foreign policy decision-making by implementing the Pacific Exposition as an instrument of hybrid diplomacy, namely economic and political diplomacy in the Pacific region. This phenomenon is important because, in addition to opening access to non-traditional export markets, the expo defuses the Papua issue and strengthens Indonesia's nation branding. Using a qualitative approach and case study design, this study examines the 2019 and 2021 expos as units of analysis. Data were obtained from official government documents, diplomatic speeches, academic publications, international organization reports, and interviews with key actors from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Trade. The analysis used process tracing techniques to trace the cause-and-effect relationships in the policy formulation process. The results show that the decision to hold the expo was born out of the state's rational calculation to restore the post-pandemic economy as well as a political strategy to address the Papua issue, but the tug-of-war between bureaucratic interests and the role of informal networks influenced its implementation. These findings expand the application of Foreign Policy Analysis in the Indonesian context by combining the Rational Actor Model and the Bureaucratic Politics Model, and provide practical implications for strengthening bureaucratic coordination in economic diplomacy. This study recommends the institutionalization of expos as a regular agenda and further study on the role of informal politics in Indonesian diplomacy.

Abstract

This study aims to explore South–South Cooperation (SSC) strategies in reducing the structural dependence of recipient countries on traditional donors in humanitarian aid, using the dependency theory framework as an analytical tool. The method used is descriptive qualitative, based on literature review, where data were collected through systematic searches in Scopus using the keywords “South–South Cooperation,” “dependency theory,” and “humanitarian aid dependency.” Analysis was conducted using content analysis techniques: data reduction, thematic presentation, and triangulation of sources to ensure validity. The results of the study reveal three main strategies of SSC, namely (1) demand-driven technology transfer tailored to local needs, (2) technical training and institutional capacity building, and (3) a horizontal approach among countries that eliminates political conditionalities. Empirically, regression analysis of 27 projects showed an average decrease in external supply dependency of 34% and an increase in the institutional resilience index of 41% over three years of implementation. The main contribution of this study is to expand theoretical understanding of counter-dependency mechanisms and provide practical recommendations for responsive foreign policy, including developing a standardized monitoring-evaluation framework and strengthening regional training centers.

Abstract

This study examines the role of religious diplomacy in addressing child marriage by analyzing the strategies of three transnational religious institutions: the Holy See, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and the World Council of Churches. Using a systematic literature review method, 1,656 articles from the Scopus database were screened and analyzed through content and comparative analysis. The research investigates how these institutions influence the formation of international norms on child protection. Findings show that the Holy See utilizes formal moral diplomacy rooted in conservative family values, the World Council of Churches employs progressive campaigns grounded in gender justice and grassroots networks, while the Organization of Islamic Cooperation remains passive due to internal legal and political fragmentation. Key differentiators in effectiveness include theological flexibility, institutional authority, digital engagement, and commitment to international child rights frameworks. The study concludes that religious institutions can function as norm entrepreneurs shaping global child protection discourse. It highlights the need for inclusive, faith-based advocacy aligned with universal human rights, and recommends further research on collaborative efforts between religious actors and states. These findings contribute to the broader understanding of how religious diplomacy intersects with global justice, especially in contested moral arenas like child marriage

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Child-Friendly Cities Initiative (CFCI) in Surabaya and the dynamics of children's participation in urban development. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis, involving policy makers, the Children's Forum, and local communities. Thematic analysis reveals the adaptation of global CFCI norms to the local context, increased meaningful participation of children, and challenges such as resource constraints and inter-sectoral coordination. The findings enrich the literature on norm localization and meaningful involvement, with implications for strengthening policies, replicable models in other cities, and the development of sustainable child participation.

Abstract

Along with the development of decentralisation and subnational diplomacy, strengthening child protection at the city level has become an important part of the global agenda. This research aims to analyse the implementation of the Child-Friendly Cities Initiative in Surabaya City from a paradiplomacy perspective. In addition, this study seeks to explain the synergy between local, national, and global policies and identify opportunities and challenges using literature studies and analysis of official documents from the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection (PPPA) and the Surabaya Office of Women's Empowerment, Child Protection, Population Control, and Family Planning (P3APPKB), the Surabaya City Children's Forum, the Surabaya Child-Friendly City Task Force, and UNICEF Indonesia. The research findings show that Surabaya has implemented strategic measures, including preparing an Annual Work Plan, strengthening children’ s participation in decision-making, and developing child-friendly infrastructure. The paradiplomacy strategy has been proven to increase access to international resources and best practices while improving Surabaya’s local governance capacity and global standing. However, challenges such as low public awareness, budget constraints, and suboptimal cross-sector coordination remain. Using data processing based on thematic analysis, this study fills the gap in research on the application of a paradiplomacy perspective in child protection issues, particularly in the implementation of the Child-Friendly Cities Initiative in the Indonesian context.
