Abstract

This research aims to analyze the macro-environmental factors of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) using the PESTLE framework to evaluate the expansion feasibility of PT Ukhuwah Berkah Semesta’s brand, Ayam Geprek Sa'i. Employing a qualitative descriptive research design with a strategic case study approach, the study retrieves high-fidelity secondary data from credible international instruments, including the World Bank’s World Governance Indicators and the Corruption Perceptions Index. The findings reveal that the UAE offers a highly stable political environment with exceptional government effectiveness and low corruption. Economically, the UAE is a mostly free market with high purchasing power and a robust network of over 20 Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreements (CEPAs), including with Indonesia. While the technological infrastructure is world-class, social and legal factors require meticulous alignment due to collectivist cultural values and mandatory Halal standardization policies. The results suggest that Indonesian SMEs should adopt a transnational strategy, balancing global operational standards with high local responsiveness to religious norms. Future studies should move beyond macro-environmental scanning to conduct empirical consumer perception research to further refine menu localization for the UAE's diverse expatriate population.

Abstract

This study analyzed the strategic modernization of Pituffik Space Base within the context of deteriorating Arctic geopolitics and the emergence of hypersonic threats. Utilizing Stephen Krasner’s framework of Organized Hypocrisy, the research examined the contradiction between the formal recognition of Danish sovereignty and the actual strategic behavior of the United States between 2020-2026. A qualitative analysis of defense agreements, diplomatic documents, and infrastructure projects was conducted to identify discrepancies between stated norms and operational realities. The results demonstrated that the United States maintained de jure sovereignty through symbolic acts, such as renaming the facility, while simultaneously executing unilateral military expansion and political intervention. The findings indicated that this decoupling allowed for a sovereignty of permissions, where the host nation retained legal title while the external power secured total operational access. The study concluded that this arrangement minimized transaction costs for the great power while preserving the diplomatic legitimacy of the semi-sovereign territory.

Abstract

This article examines South Africa’s geostrategy as a regional power through Ubuntu Diplomacy toward the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) from 2011 to 2022. It aims to explain how South Africa’s stable border orientation enabled power projection to a non-neighbouring state and how Ubuntu Diplomacy framed this process. The study uses a case study design. Using Jakub J. Grygiel’s geostrategy framework, the analysis first assesses South Africa’s state borders and border pressure, then maps power projection in the DRC across diplomatic-political, military, and economic instruments. The findings show that relatively stable borders reduced defensive constraints and facilitated long-range power projection, while Ubuntu Diplomacy provided normative justification for these policy choices.
