Abstract

This article originated in a keynote lecture to the 10th Indonesian National History Conference (KSNI) in 2016, the theme of which was Maritime History. The founders of those national conferences in the 1950s and ‘60s were seeking to disentangle Indonesia’s history and destiny from a Dutch-centric perspective, and create an Indonesia-centric history with its own vantage point and values. This article argues that they succeeded so well that Indonesian history is now dangerously detached from world history at a time when the new generation lives in a globalized world.  Indonesia’s pride in its own history can provide plenty of entry points into global history, whether economic, religious, intellectual or social.  History training must beware creating different histories for each nation-state lest it become the problem for international understanding, rather than the solution.

Abstract

This article is based on extensive original research that aims to examine how the opposition movement against Duterte employed various mechanisms of political engagement, shaped by the administration’s lockdown-centric response amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the pandemic impacted individual social mobility, motivations and forms of political participation were still observed both physically and in the digital world. The study employs a qualitative approach, drawing on data from secondary sources to analyze the interplay between the administration’s governance strategies and the actions of political interest groups during the COVID-19 pandemic. By using rational choice theory, we gain a clearer understanding of Duterte's perceived interests and goals, as well as the costs and benefits of resistance during the pandemic lockdown. The findings show that the Duterte administration's policies curtailed physical forms of political engagement, often described as “militarized” and “police-centric,” thus shaping opposition dynamics and forms of dissent. Despite this, the civil society fostered alternative spaces for resistance, such as community pantries and digital activism. While existing literature has largely focused on democratic backsliding in the context of combating COVID-19, the novelty of this study is its nuanced exploration of the practicality of militaristic measures. Although the Duterte administration’s militarized response did not achieve the expected outcomes in terms of managing the health crisis and suppressing opposition, it still represented the most practical strategy for controlling pandemic dissent. These insights contribute to understanding how government responses to the COVID-19 crisis influence the behavior of both the state and civil society.

Abstract

After the Spanish flu pandemic in 1920s, the world experienced another one named the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019. It has significantly impacted human life in various aspects. In response to this, not only countries but all actors in international relations take part including the World Health Organization (WHO). One of its moves was the formation of the ACT-Accelerator, which includes four pillars of COVID-19 management namely diagnostics, therapeutics, vaccines, and the health systems and response connector. In this case, WHO formed a multilateral cooperation called COVID-19 Global Access (COVAX). This collaboration incorporates several international organizations and agencies; namely, GAVI, CEPI, and UNICEF. COVAX aims to provide equal access for countries that need vaccines, especially developing countries. This study examines the global health diplomacy strategy carried out by the World Health Organization in procuring world vaccines through the COVAX program in Indonesia. The authors used a descriptive qualitative method with secondary sources to analyze the phenomenon in this study. Based on the conceptual framework, namely international organizations and global health diplomacy, the authors analyze the strategies pursued by WHO in realizing global health in Indonesia. This study found that the efforts of WHO global health diplomacy through the COVAX program to Indonesia include conducting vaccine research and development and raising funds and negotiating vaccine purchases. This study finally argues that the COVAX program serves as a concrete example of how WHO’s global health diplomacy strategies are implemented, offering a detailed case study of international cooperation in vaccine distribution.

Abstract

In 2024, the China Coast Guard (CCG) invoked China Coast Guard Regulation No. 3 to detain Taiwanese fishing boats in disputed waters twice. These actions can be dated back to 2019. The CCG entered the waters of the Diaoyu islands in Japan twelve times and carried out cruises on the Diaoyu islands. It is necessary to study the follow-up actions of the CCG and their impact on Indo-Pacific and Southeast Asia security. This study examines the effect of the CCG's maritime rights protection on the security of the Indo-Pacific region and Southeast Asia when the People's Republic of China (China) becomes a maritime power. It was changed to the Maritime Police Corps of the Chinese People's Armed Police Force to integrate the business of marine surveillance, fishery administration, customs, border defense, and other units. The reason for the gradual expansion of powers and the impact of its strong protection of maritime rights and interests on Indo-Pacific and Southeast Asia. The research results can help us understand the current situation of the CCG and further evaluate China's ability to achieve maritime power. This paper finds that China intends to implement regular patrols in disputed waters by increasing the tonnage of coast guard ships, strengthening rights protection, and militarizing organizations to demonstrate maritime power. On the other hand, this move triggered a maritime police competition among neighboring countries, and even a naval and air force arms race, intensified disputes between China and neighboring countries, especially the South China Sea dispute, and made the security of the Indo-Pacific region and Southeast Asia be more turbulent.

Abstract

The relationship between Singapore and the United States under Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong is marked by equality and mutual benefits, despite the imbalance of power between the small nation and the superpower. This study aims to explore the pragmatism of Singapore’s foreign policy and how it has shaped bilateral relations, leading to substantial advantages for both parties. Using a combined research approach, including the analysis of diplomatic records, policy documents, and historical data, this study examines the political, economic, and security impacts of Singapore-U.S. relations. The theoretical framework is based on small-state foreign policy theory and international relations, focusing on the strategic roles smaller countries play when engaging with larger powers. Findings reveal that Singapore’s ties with the U.S. have significantly enhanced its position in Southeast Asia, strengthened economic and security interests, and improved cooperation with ASEAN in the context of U.S. Indo-Pacific strategies. The analysis argues that Singapore’s flexible foreign policy has allowed it to leverage its partnership with the U.S. to maximize national benefits and influence broader ASEAN-U.S. relations in meaningful ways.
