Abstract

This research was motivated by North Korea's nuclear development with the aim of maintaining the stability of the country's security from external threats, but North Korea's nuclear development made countries in the Korean Peninsula region such as Japan and South Korea feel threatened, so the two countries also helped develop their military by making alliances to weaken North Korea. Therefore, researchers use the perspective of Defensive Realism to explain the impact of North Korea's nuclear development during Kim Jong Un's reign on the security stability of the Korean Peninsula in the period 2017 to 2021. The methods used are qualitative methods and literature analysis. The results showed that North Korea's nuclear development during the reign of Kim Jong Un had a significant impact on the security stability of the Korean Peninsula. This impact is in the form of increased security threats such as an arms race. Based on the analysis, it can be said that North Korea's nuclear development during the reign of Kim Jong Un has important implications for the security stability of the Korean Peninsula in the long run. Therefore, there needs to be a concerted effort to address this issue and ensure regional security stability.

Abstract

The Law of the Sea increasingly developed in the 19-20 centuries marked by the 1982 UNCLOS Convention on the Law of the Sea. This research discusses the role of UNCLOS in handling South China Sea disputes. And how is the settlement of the South China Sea dispute based on the International Court of Justice? This study uses qualitative methods based on secondary data sources derived from books, the internet, documents, journal articles, media, and others. The theory used in this study is one of the theories of positivism with an international law approach. The South China Sea dispute began with China's claims to the seas listed on its Nine Dashed Line map. Cases of disputes over the jurisdiction of the ICJ against the agreement of the disputing parties are to be submitted to the International Court of Justice. Cases submitted to the International Court of Justice contain the determination of the matters in question as well as various kinds of questions submitted to the International Court of Justice. If viewed from the perspective of positivism, the position of national law is higher than international law, so the claims of the South China Sea that have existed since the Han dynasty cannot be denied if China itself does not ratify international law and does not ratify UNCLOS and still adheres to the principles of national law or jurisdiction of its country. As the International Court of Justice, this dispute should be resolved by the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice.

Abstract

This research focuses on using the concept of Cultural Intelligence (CQ) as an analytical lens to identify the economic diplomacy strategy of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The research method applied is a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques involving various sources, including reports, journals, news, and literature related to this topic. Cultural Intelligence is applied through four main dimensions: Motivational CQ, Cognitive CQ, Metacognitive CQ, and Behavioral CQ. This research explores how the UAE, as a multicultural country, utilizes cultural intelligence to shape and implement strategies in its economic diplomacy. The results show that Cultural Intelligence (CQ) is able to act as a lens that enables the identification of a country's economic diplomacy strategy. The high Motivational CQ is reflected in the UAE's enthusiasm to adapt to a dynamic economic environment. Cognitive CQ is applied in managing a positive image and reducing negative stereotypes, increasing attractiveness for expatriates and international economic actors. Meanwhile, Metacognitive CQ is reflected in the UAE's efforts to position themselves as a moderate and tolerant country, creating strong relationships in the Islamic world while still maintaining their cultural identity. Behavioral CQ strategies are manifested in inclusive and responsive policies to cultural conflicts, which strengthen economic relations and reduce uncertainty. This research contributes to the understanding of the role of Cultural Intelligence as an analytical lens in exploring a country's economic diplomacy strategy, particularly in the UAE context. The implications of this research can serve as a basis for the development of better policies and practices in enhancing economic cooperation and achieving national and global goals.

Abstract

The Israeli occupation of Palestine is a stain and a black mark on the life of inter-state and international relations in this century. Independence for all nations and countries seems like an impossibility; the UN, as an international institution established to create peace and justice for the world's nations, has failed to fulfill its function. The UN Security Council, responsible for maintaining security, has not offered protection to the Palestinian people. Instead, it has permitted Israel to commit massacres and war crimes against countless lives without reprimand or justice. Similarly, countries around the world seem powerless, able only to condemn without the strength to intervene or stop the situation. This article is written as an effort to explore the opportunities and challenges for the Palestinian state in achieving peace and independence within the realm of international diplomacy. The approach used is based on concepts of Islamic diplomacy, whose main objective is to maintain and create peace among different religious communities and humanity as a whole. This research employs a qualitative methodology with direct fieldwork. The researcher traveled to countries adjacent to Palestine and Israel, including Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and also Indonesia. Although Indonesia is far away, its uniqueness as a predominantly Muslim nation creates an emotional and political affinity with the Palestinian cause. The research results indicate that the primary challenge for Palestinian independence diplomacy is the lack of unity among Arab countries when confronting Israeli and American diplomacy. Most nations prioritize their own national interests over providing direct support for Palestinian diplomacy and independence.

Abstract

Limiting nickel ore exports is a government effort to protect and prevent depletion of mineral resources, especially nickel. One form of government policy is to limit the export of raw nickel ore by processing raw nickel ore so that it has added value to the downstream nickel industry in the global market. With so many other countries' interest in Indonesian nickel, the Indonesian government protects Indonesian nickel. This study aims to analyze the implications of Indonesia's nickel export protectionism policy on mineral sector trade. This research uses deductive qualitative research methods with literature review data collection techniques from secondary data sources. The theory used in this research is the theory of protectionism. The results of this study indicate that protectionist measures taken by the Indonesian government have a significant impact on the mineral sector and the national economy, because Indonesia is the largest nickel producer in the world. Protectionism efforts by the Indonesian government have an impact on sustainable development and creating economic independence from the nickel industry.
