Abstract

Various studies on paradiplomacy have been conducted in Indonesia. However, only a few have addressed the advancement of cybersecurity within the paradiplomacy framework. Therefore, this study explored the paradiplomacy in the cybersecurity sector, using the Cyber Defense Academy (CDA) in the Singhasari Special Economic Zone (SEZ) as a case study. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method through document analysis, interview data with a CDA representative, and secondary literature. The findings indicated that through collaboration with sub-national partners from India, such as Diaas.in and Aquarii India, the CDA represented a new model of paradiplomatic governance under the coordination of the Singhasari SEZ. This study concluded that the CDA denoted a new form of paradiplomacy with the potential to strengthen Indonesia’s cybersecurity network and emerged as a distinct type of actor within the paradiplomatic landscape.

Abstract

This article explains why the United States chose to withdraw troops from Afghanistan in 2020-2021 by applying Graham Allisons decision-making models. Using a qualitative desk review, this article systematically identified, selected, and analysed secondary sources, then conducted a thematic analysis aligned with the Rational Actor, Organisational Process, and Bureaucratic Politics frameworks. The findings show that, as a rational actor, the U.S. pursued strategic aims of cost reduction, force protection, and fulfilment of political commitments, enabled in part by the Doha framework. Organisational procedures within the Department of Defence, the State Department, and CENTCOM shaped the pace, sequencing, and modalities of withdrawal. Bureaucratic bargaining among the President, senior defence leaders, and the special envoy structured key choices and trade-offs. This article concludes that the exit was driven by rational goals filtered through institutional routines and interagency politics. Policy implications include earlier whole-of-government planning, tighter diplomatic coordination with partners, and robust contingency arrangements.

Abstract

This article explains why Indonesia decided to sign the Indonesia-Peru Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement by applying Solis and Katada’s three-motive lens: economic, security, and leverage. The study uses a qualitative desk review with thematic analysis and triangulation of official documents, negotiation records, and 2020-2025 trade statistics. The case shows a rapid process from the first formal round in May 2024 to the conclusion in August 2025 and signature on 11 August 2025. Economically, the agreement addresses discrimination risks by removing most tariffs at entry into force, with Peru covering about 90,68% of lines and Indonesia about 92,26%, and by clarifying rules of origin, customs, and cooperation on technical barriers to trade and sanitary and phytosanitary measures. Security motives are visible in the presidential ceremony tied to 50 years of diplomatic relations, a joint declaration, and a parallel cooperation memorandum that widens cross-regional engagement with an American Latin partner. Leverage motives appear in goods-first sequencing, reusable chapter designs, and committee structures that build capacity for later talks. This further implies the need for further policy adjustment from the Indonesia government in terms of adjusting the implementation process, providing a comprehensive help desk, and improving coordination among various stakeholders.

Abstract

This article examines how the KAAN fighter jet procurement deepened defense relations between Indonesia and Türkiye through defense diplomacy. Using Lech Drab’s framework of defense diplomacy, the article argues that the KAAN case should be understood not merely as a procurement decision, but as a form of strategic engagement that elevated bilateral defense relations to a more intensive and institutionalized level. Methodologically, the study applies a qualitative single case study design, with data collected through a structured desk review of official statements, policy documents, company releases, academic works, and reputable news reports, and analyzed through thematic analysis. The findings show that the KAAN procurement deepened Indonesia-Türkiye defense relations through three connected mechanisms: the strengthening of strategic trust, the expansion of defense-industrial cooperation, and the enhancement of Indonesia’s defense capability. More broadly, the article finds that Indonesia’s cooperation with Türkiye reflects an effort to build a stable long-term defense relationship that can widen Indonesia’s strategic influence while preserving its autonomy amid great-power competition. The case also confirms that defense diplomacy remains a practical means through which middle powers can simultaneously build confidence, strengthen military capability, and develop the defense industry. In this sense, the KAAN case demonstrates the growing sophistication of defense diplomacy among middle powers. Lastly, this study is limited to a single qualitative case and does not assess the long-term operational outcomes of the KAAN program or compare it systematically with Indonesia’s other procurement pathways.

Abstract

Existing developmental state scholarship explains how states promote strategic industries through selective intervention, coordination, and upgrading support. However, it pays less attention to how these approaches are adapted when industrial transformation centers on green industries that must simultaneously achieve competitiveness, sustainability, and global market integration. This study examines how Vietnam has structured state support for electric mobility through VinFast. It employs a qualitative desk review of policy and legal documents, incentive frameworks, and corporate and international reports published between 2016 and 2024, using systematic screening, triangulation, and thematic coding aligned with the New Developmental State Model framework. The findings show that Vietnam has framed electric mobility through integrated objectives combining domestic manufacturing expansion, export orientation, and green transition targets, while positioning VinFast as the lead firm responsible for achieving scale and competitiveness. The government has implemented a comprehensive intervention package that reduces investment risk and stimulates demand, including corporate tax incentives in strategic economic zones, import-duty exemptions for components, consumer-side tax and fee reductions for battery electric vehicles, and protective measures for domestic assemblers. Spatial industrial policy and supplier development initiatives further support localization goals. This case contributes to the developmental state literature by demonstrating how contemporary state-led industrial strategies can be organized around green industries. At the same time, it highlights a key governance tension: rapid, firm-centered scaling does not necessarily translate into broader industrial capability development.

Abstract

Purpose: This study evaluates the reasons for the failure of technological interventions to foster community resilience within the “Sampah Terkelola, Lingkungan Terjaga” program in Bulusan Village. Research Methodology: Using a qualitative case study, data were gathered through participant observation (July–August 2025), semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. The Community Capitals Framework (CCF), participation theory, and knowledge co-production served as primary diagnostic lenses. Results: Findings indicate that while the program bolstered built and human capital through infrastructure, it neglected financial and political capital. This imbalance, driven by top-down planning and the lack of a revenue model, led to the immediate stagnation of the local Waste Bank post-intervention. Conclusions: Sustainable waste management requires a shift in focus from technology transfer to the co-production of managerial knowledge and the institutionalization of governance structures that balance all community capital. Limitations: This study is restricted to a short-term qualitative assessment of a single village and lacks longitudinal data. Contributions: This research advances the environmental sociology and rural development literature by establishing the CCF as a critical evaluative tool for predicting the institutional durability of community-based interventions. This explicitly demonstrates that social capital integration is a prerequisite for, rather than a byproduct of, technological success in waste management.
