Abstract

This paper aims to explain Russia's efforts to face sender states for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine since February 2022. Including EU countries, the US and its alliances, sender states have gradually imposed various economic sanctions on Russia as target state ranging from freezing state and individual assets to cutting off import and export activities aimed at halting Russia's invasion. Russia, in the aftermath of this, experienced various problems, in particular energy sector as top commodities yet Russia economy has not collapsed. As smart power (regarded as a combination of hard and soft power) and energy security as frameworks are proposed, authors seek to analyze how Russia deals with and survives from the economic sanctions. Previous studies have not addressed how Russia's efforts to deal with economic sanctions examined from the two concepts, thus this article seeks to fill the gap. Using qualitative research methods and the two concepts, authors found that Russia only employed hard power as coercive actions to deal with sender states through a bunch of energy and non-energy instruments. Russia, one of the largest energy exporters and regarding energy security strategy, has undertaken three strategic aspects; energy source sovereignty, foreign market access and financial security for investment.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the national interests of the United Kingdom and Indonesia within the MENTARI program, utilizing Axelrod and Keohane's "Shadow of the Future" dimension as an analytical framework. Authors employ qualitative methods, including interviews and document analysis, The findings indicate a shared recognition by both nations that the global energy landscape will be predominantly shaped by renewable sources. Therefore, both countries established a partnership to speed up the energy transition and reduce their dependence on environmentally harmful fossil fuels, a major driver of climate change. The analysis reveals that the UK's interests align with its obligation as a developed country under the Paris Agreement to provide climate finance, coupled with its strategic ambition to secure a market share in Indonesia's renewable energy sector to bolster its position as a global leader in the field. Conversely, Indonesia's primary interest lies in attracting foreign investment to catalyse its domestic renewable energy development and accelerate its national energy transition process.
