Abstract

The rapid development of digital transformation has profoundly shaped economic and political interactions globally, with the “new oil of the 21st century.” Southeast Asia faces unique challenges in balancing national digital sovereignty and regional digital integration. This study critically examines ASEAN's effectiveness in fostering a regional digital integration amidst diverse data governance policies and digital sovereignty concerns across its member states. Through a qualitative literature review and focused case studies of Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, and the European Union, it reveals how diverse national interests, fragmented regulations, and infrastructural disparities obstruct ASEAN’s digital integration ambitions. While ASEAN presents frameworks such as the ASEAN Digital Economy Framework and the ASEAN Digital Masterplan 2025, implementation remains limited due to underlying sovereignty issues and ASEAN’s mandate of non-interference. Comparisons with the European Union’s centralized digital sovereignty and regulatory harmonization highlight ASEAN’s institutional and political constraints. The study contributes to the discourse on new regionalism by addressing the underexplored intersection of digital sovereignty and regionalism in Southeast Asia, offering insights into the complex dynamics shaping ASEAN Digital Regionalism and its prospects.

Abstract

This article examines how the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), treated as an organization rather than a mere aggregate, can catalyze Global South leadership in economic development. Building on Said’s Orientalism, Santos’s Epistemologies of the South, and Global South IR (Tickner & Smith), the study uses a qualitative literature review with meta-synthesis. Findings indicate a three-tier role: (1) at the level of values, the Shanghai Spirit advances solidarity and equality, shifting development discourse from Western universals to epistemic plurality; (2) at the level of instruments, initiatives such as a development bank signal an intra-South financing ecology less dependent on conditionalities; and (3) at the level of norms, the coalition diffuses best practices and broadens security–development. Conceptually, the coalition functions as a decolonial “contact zone,” translating local experience into standards and enabling leadership rather than coercive dominance. Implications include governance and metrics beyond GDP; limitations include reliance on secondary sources and the need for empirical tests.

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.
