Abstract

This paper examines the paradox of Indonesia's approach to Papua. Decades of securitization and large-scale, state-led development—intended to ensure stability and integration—have instead deepened the conflict and created conditions of fragility they sought to eliminate. This argument is rooted in Indonesia's use of political securitization to defend its territorial integrity, has further heightened internal conflict and created new societal uncertainty. By synthesizing the logics of sovereignty, securitization theory, and strong-state theory, this paper introduces “totalization logic” to describe Jakarta’s approach, which limits space and imposes a top-down approach, despite the formal existence of autonomy mechanisms. Instead of being utilized as intended, this special autonomy law has been instrumentalized to centralize Indonesian policy and marginalize grassroots voices. Using qualitative methods, this study shows that the failed decentralization and Jakarta's central intervention have led to counterproductive outcomes and even produced international spillover effects, scrutinized by Melanesian regional bodies and United Nations human rights mechanisms and thus elevating what Jakarta treats as a domestic threat into international concern. The paper’s findings contribute to IR scholarship by showcasing securitization theory beyond the interstate realm, demonstrating how domestic political securitization logic generates insecurity rather than resolving it. The author also aims to show scholars and policymakers the limits of strong-state approaches to secessionist conflicts across Indonesia’s easternmost province and its relations to the transnational bond within the Melanesian region.

Abstract

This study examines Indonesia’s maritime logistics policy during 2020–2024 and its role in facilitating market expansion and reducing non-tariff barriers (NTBs) within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). As the world’s largest archipelagic state, Indonesia relies heavily on maritime transport, yet high logistics costs, estimated at 20–24 percent of total production costs, and persistent NTBs continue to constrain export competitiveness. Using descriptive and comparative methods, this research evaluates Indonesia’s strategy through institutional reforms, infrastructure modernization, and regional cooperation mechanisms, while benchmarking performance against Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand using indicators such as port efficiency, digital integration, and the Logistics Performance Index (LPI). The findings indicate measurable progress through customs digitalization under the National Single Window (NSW), implementation of the National Logistics Ecosystem (NLE), and participation in regional frameworks, including the ASEAN Single Window (ASW) and the ASEAN Customs Transit System (ACTS). These initiatives have reduced dwelling time, improved supply-chain predictability, and supported trade growth, with Indonesia’s total trade value increasing from USD 304.76 billion in 2020 to USD 529.35 billion in 2022. Nevertheless, significant challenges remain, including regulatory fragmentation, uneven port development, limited digital interoperability, and inconsistent institutional capacity across regions. The study concludes that maritime logistics reforms have strengthened Indonesia’s integration into ASEAN trade networks; however, sustained competitiveness will require deeper regulatory harmonization, systematic performance measurement, infrastructure equalization, and long-term bureaucratic modernization to effectively mitigate NTBs and secure durable market expansion.

Abstract

The border conflict between Thailand and Cambodia escalated again in mid-2025 after a violation of the code of ethics by Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, as revealed in a phone recording. Although Shinawatra was ultimately dismissed from his post, the Thai people seemed to rise again to fight for Preah Vihear to be included in their territory. In response, Malaysia, as a neighboring country and the chair of ASEAN 2025, also offered to mediate the Bangkok-Phnom Penh conflict. This paper examines the factors influencing Malaysia's decision through the lens of liberalism. The results of the study indicate that Malaysia is driven to act rationally to guarantee its citizens' rights and create a better life and welfare through international cooperation. Once this is achieved, it is hoped that it can project a new and better state order, referred to as the concept of liberalism as a modern state.

Abstract

This article analyzes how SEAblings was constructed as a Southeast Asian digital identity through social media interactions in response to transnational racist discourse. The phenomenon emerged from an online dispute following DAY6’s concert in Kuala Lumpur on 31 January 2026, which later developed into a wider digital controversy involving racialized insults against Southeast Asian fans and communities. Drawing on constructivist International Relations, this article conceptualizes identity as a social construction formed through shared meanings, interaction, and representation. This study uses a qualitative descriptive design based on literature review and document analysis. The data consist of academic literature, online news reports, social media monitoring reports, and publicly available digital traces documenting the SEAblings controversy. The analysis is guided by four indicators: boundary-making, shared symbols, affective solidarity, and narrative reversal. The findings show that SEAblings emerged when Southeast Asian users collectively drew symbolic boundaries between “us” and “them,” circulated hashtags, memes, and regional expressions as shared symbols, transformed anger and humor into affective solidarity, and transformed negative narratives about Southeast Asia into expressions of regional pride. The article argues that SEAblings represents a citizen-led and situational form of Southeast Asian digital identity. It contributes to International Relations by showing that regional identity is not produced only through states, diplomacy, or formal institutions, but can also emerge from everyday digital practices, symbolic struggles, and affective interactions among ordinary social media users.
