Abstract

Food crises, supply-chain disruptions, climate change, and unequal access to resources reveal the limits of economic governance that relies excessively on market mechanisms and external supplies. This article examines the food economy of the Kasepuhan Ciptagelar community, particularly the leuit granary system and Leuit Si Jimat, as a community-based governance model relevant to global political economy. The study applies a qualitative document-analysis approach using a research report, scholarly articles, books, and institutional publications. Data were analysed through reduction, thematic categorisation, display, and conclusion drawing. The findings identify four dimensions. First, Ciptagelar’s food economy is embedded in customary norms, social relations, and ecological obligations, preventing full commodification. Second, leuit functions as social infrastructure for reserves, risk sharing, and intergenerational continuity. Third, customary leadership, mutual cooperation, adherence to agricultural cycles, and restrictions on rice sales reinforce community food sovereignty. Fourth, market pressures, environmental change, commercialisation, and weak legal protection threaten continuity. Ciptagelar should not be mechanically replicated as a universal model. Nevertheless, its institutional principles, including economic embeddedness, collective governance, decentralised reserves, and cultural legitimacy, can enrich food-security policy. The article contributes by connecting Sundanese local knowledge with embeddedness, common-pool resource governance, food sovereignty, and the pluralisation of global political-economic governance.

Abstract

Climate change represents an existential and multidimensional challenge for Pacific Island countries, despite their limited contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions. This article examines how the Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) transformed regional climate vulnerability into collective diplomatic agency at COP29 in Baku. Using qualitative document analysis, the study examines UNFCCC decisions, PIF and SPREP documents, regional declarations, official statements, and relevant academic literature. Climate diplomacy serves as the primary analytical framework, supported by international regime theory and regional organisation perspectives. The findings demonstrate that PIF employed four mutually reinforcing strategies: coalition building, normative pressure, agenda-setting, and evidence-based negotiation. These strategies strengthened Pacific visibility and helped sustain climate finance, the 1.5°C objective, adaptation, and loss and damage on the negotiation agenda. However, PIF's influence remained constrained by material power asymmetries and the distributive limitations of COP29's climate-finance outcome. The study concludes that PIF diplomacy was procedurally effective and normatively influential, but substantively constrained.

Abstract

The Funan Techo Canal is a strategic infrastructure project in Cambodia, part of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The project aims to improve connectivity, strengthen economic autonomy, and reduce Cambodia's dependence on neighbouring countries. While widely supported for its potential to expand market access, create jobs, and boost economic growth, the project has also drawn criticism regarding its geopolitical, environmental, and security impacts in Southeast Asia. This study aims to analyse the development of the Funan Techo Canal project, the Cambodian public's response to its construction, and China's strategy for gaining public support through public diplomacy using the media. The study employed a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach. Data were obtained through a literature review that included scientific journals, research reports, official documents, and Chinese media coverage. The analysis used a media approach and media framing to examine how public opinion was constructed. The results show that the project was promoted as a means of increasing economic growth, enhancing logistical independence, and developing national infrastructure. The Cambodian public's response tended to be positive because the project was perceived as capable of improving economic well-being. Through public diplomacy and strategy, Chinese media emphasised the development benefits and framed the project as a symbol of mutually beneficial cooperation. This strategy contributes to building a positive image of China and strengthening the legitimacy of the Funan Techo Canal project in the eyes of the Cambodian people and the international public.

Abstract

Protection of nationals abroad constitutes a fundamental consular function regulated under the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations 1963 (VCCR 1963) and represents a key pillar of contemporary consular diplomacy. This article analyzes the implementation of consular functions by the Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia (KJRI) in Jeddah in providing consular protection to Indonesian nationals involved in a bomb joke incident at King Abdulaziz International Airport in 2017, based on Articles 5 and 36 of VCCR 1963. Employing a qualitative single-case study approach based on in-depth interviews and document analysis, the study reveals that KJRI Jeddah effectively implemented its consular duties through prompt emergency response by the Citizen Protection Task Force, legal assistance, provision of a retainer lawyer and interpreters, consular visitations, and repatriation facilitation. Overall, these actions were consistent with Articles 5 and 36 of VCCR 1963. However, the effectiveness of consular diplomacy faced structural limitations, including the rigid nature of Saudi Arabian criminal law, restricted initial consular access during early investigation in Riyadh, and the absence of a bilateral Mandatory Consular Notification (MCN) agreement between Indonesia and Saudi Arabia.
