Abstract

Islam merupakan salah satu agama terbesar di Inggris dengan populasi terbanyak setelah agama Kristen. Hal ini dikarenakan banyaknya imigran dari Asia dan Afrika. Meskipun Inggris merupakan negara multicultural, kasus diskriminasi dan islamofobia terus meningkat terutama pasca 9/11 dan serangan teroris di London. Media massa berperan sangat besar dalam membentuk opini terhadap imigran dan agama Islam dikarenakan aksi-aksi terorisme dikaitkan dengan Islam. Selain itu juga dikarenakan banyaknya pengangguran memperburuk kondisi sosial di negara Inggris. Dengan meningkatnya perkembangan teknologi dan media sosial, persebaran misinformasi berita semakin cepat dan luas yang memperburuk sentiment terhadap muslim. Platform telegram menjadi wadah bagi kelompok ekstrimis kanan untuk menyebarkan propaganda dan mobilisasi aksi diskriminatif. Hal ini terlihat dalam kerusuhan Inggris tahun 2024 setelah penusukan di Southport. Berita-berita menyebar secara luas melalui media sosial yang memicu protes dan kekerasan terhadap komunitas Islam dan Imigran.

Abstract

India, the world's most populous country, possesses the second-largest military and the fourth-largest defense budget globally. Historically, India has been one of the largest arms importers. However, over the past two decades, the country has made significant efforts to reduce its dependence on imports and achieve self-reliance in defense manufacturing. To accomplish this goal, India has introduced major policy reforms, including opening up the defense sector to private companies and launching extensive indigenization initiatives. These measures aim to strengthen domestic defense production and position India as a key player in the global defense industry. This paper analyzes the historical trajectory of India's defense imports, examining the factors that contributed to its reliance on foreign weaponry. It also explores India's strategic efforts to reduce imports by promoting indigenous manufacturing and fostering technological advancements. Furthermore, the paper highlights India's emergence as a key defense exporter on the global stage, assessing its growing influence in international arms trade.

Abstract

Marine debris is one of the most pressing environmental challenges in the modern era, with the Philippines as one of the largest contributors. This study explores the challenges in implementing the Bangkok Declaration to address marine debris in the Philippines 2019-2025. This study uses the theory of pluralism, namely the plurality of actors in efforts to prevent and reduce marine debris in the Philippines. Through descriptive qualitative research using literature study data collection techniques, the results of this study indicate that around 80% of marine debris comes from land activities, with plastic as the dominant component. The seriousness of the Philippines in implementing the Bangkok Declaration on Marine Debris can be seen from the involvement of various actors. The actors who play a role in efforts to prevent and reduce marine debris in the Philippines include the government, private sector, NGOs, and also local communities. However, there are still several challenges in implementing the Bangkok Declaration on Marine Debris in the Philippines, including the lack of waste management infrastructure, low public awareness, weak law enforcement and the problem of plastic waste imports. Despite these challenges, the Philippines' opportunity to at least approach the target of reducing marine debris remains open. This can be achieved by increasing investment in waste processing infrastructure, effective education campaigns, strengthening regulations and law enforcement, and increasing international cooperation to address waste problems, all of which must be implemented in a comprehensive, measurable and responsible manner by all actors involved.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to assess how well the Surabaya Sightseeing City Tour Bus (SSCT) program works to make Surabaya a more alluring tourist destination for international visitors. This research looks at how SSCT works as a tool for branding Surabaya city to foreign tourists. This research uses descriptive qualitative method which is one of the effective approaches to describe a practice. Direct observation during the internship, interviews with staff at the tourist information center, and analysis of 2024 visitor visit data were used to collect data. The findings show that although the Surabaya Sightseeing City Tour (SSCT) program successfully integrates local culture in the city branding strategy through strong historical narratives and cultural experiences, limitations in global promotion, digital access, and multilingual support are the main challenges in effectively reaching foreign tourists. With this, the author identifies opportunities in the SSCT program by expanding promotional channels, improving accessibility for international payments, and strengthening internationally packaged local cultural narratives are some of the recommendations.

Abstract

Terusan Suez di Mesir dan Terusan Panama di Panama merupakan dua chokepoint maritim paling strategis di dunia, menghubungkan jalur perdagangan lintas benua dan menopang stabilitas ekonomi global. Penelitian ini menganalisis strategi keamanan kedua kanal dengan menggunakan kerangka Teori Keamanan Non-Tradisional (NTS) dan Teori Kompleks Interdependensi. NTS digunakan untuk mengidentifikasi ancaman multidimensi seperti perubahan iklim, kejahatan lintas negara, dan instabilitas geopolitik, sedangkan Kompleks Interdependensi digunakan untuk menjelaskan bagaimana gangguan di satu kanal dapat menimbulkan efek domino dalam sistem perdagangan global yang saling bergantung. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah analisis kualitatif berbasis studi literatur, data sekunder, dan laporan institusi resmi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Mesir menerapkan pendekatan militeristik–sentralistik dengan fokus pada pengamanan fisik dan kapasitas kanal, sedangkan Panama mengadopsi pendekatan sipil–institusional dengan penekanan pada adaptasi lingkungan dan digitalisasi navigasi. Keduanya memiliki keunggulan dan kelemahan yang berbeda: Suez unggul dalam respons terhadap ancaman geopolitik, tetapi kurang adaptif terhadap risiko iklim; Panama unggul dalam mitigasi iklim dan efisiensi operasional, namun lebih rentan terhadap tekanan politik global. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa keamanan kedua kanal merupakan kepentingan kolektif internasional dan memerlukan kolaborasi lintas negara, integrasi mitigasi iklim, serta diversifikasi rute perdagangan untuk menjaga stabilitas maritim global.

Abstract

China has cooperated with Malaysia to construct the East Coast Railway Line (ECRL) project as an alternative to fulfil China’s interest for energy supply to sustain its industrial development. ECRL project can tackle the challenges of Straits of Malacca that obstruct China to transport oil from middle East. ECRL project can links port of Klang to Port of Kuantan by railway and then continued to mainland China by vessels. This article explores how China employs its investment in the ECRL Project in Malaysia as a strategisation of space. The theory of smart and hard power as a theoretical framework in this article helps observe the efforts China taken to influence Malaysia to construct ECRL project. This article is divided five parts. Firstly, it talks about the ECRL project in Malaysia and the role of China. Secondly, it breaks down the employed theoretical framework namely the smart power theory related to connectivity. Thirdly is about the smart power strategy that China uses to show its dominance in the region. Fourthly, it will highlight the relation of the ECRL project to Chinese strategisation of interest discussing about how the project is mutually strategic for both countries. Lastly, the part of analysis that demonstrates Chinese investment in the ECRL project in Malaysia is Chinese strategisation of space by exercising its smart power and forming connectivity among China, Malaysia, and other oil-exporting countries for China’s interest in oil.

Abstract

This research explains what is the rational choice for Indonesia in facing Myanmar’s Conflict in context of Indonesia 2023 ASEAN’s chairmanship. The conflict in Myanmar is a complex and multifaceted issue, involving various ethnic groups, political actors, and external influences. The conflict is rooted in historical, political, and socio-economic grievances, with deep-seated ethnic and religious divisions exacerbating tensions. The military coup in February 2021 has further escalated the conflict, leading to widespread protests, violence, and human rights abuses. The international community, including ASEAN and other regional powers, have attempted to mediate and facilitate a resolution to the crisis, but progress has been slow and difficult. The situation in Myanmar remains a challenge, with a significant impact on regional and global stability. This research uses the qualitative method by collecting and analyzing secondary data published by institution, organization and other sources. Rational choice and Stag Hunt Game Theory are used to analyze the complexity of Myanmar’s conflict. Eventually, this research found that the rational choice of Indonesia in facing Myanmar’s conflict on its chairmanship is lonely movement in bilateral, regional and international, though there is a hope for strong and concrete cooperation with partners in implementing Five-Point Consensus, UN Resolution and other measures.

Abstract

Technological development has brought changes to all aspects of life. Southeast Asia is a region with a large population and considerable economic potential. With the growth of technology, Southeast Asian countries have become highly dependent on the digital world, which in turn supports the region's developing digital economy. Therefore, cybersecurity and cyber resilience are essential to prevent cyberattacks and to limit their impact when they do occur. For this reason, Southeast Asian countries have joined a regional organization, ASEAN, committed to building regional peace and stability, including in the area of cybersecurity. However, in building resilient cybersecurity, ASEAN faces the digital divide among its member states as an obstacle that may hinder these efforts. This issue is raised because detailed discussion of cybersecurity in Southeast Asia remains limited. This research therefore examines how ASEAN builds resilient cybersecurity despite the digital divide among its member states, using a qualitative method, analyzed through liberalism theory, and closed with recommendations.

Abstract

This paper analyzes the implementation of Indonesian tourism nation branding through the wonderful tourism image of Indonesia as a form of state diplomacy. As a soft diplomacy effort by Indonesia, the use of wonderful Indonesia is a manifestation of Indonesia's diversity; culture, tourism, history and other religions. The use of tourism image as public diplomacy is not new in diplomatic studies, departing from traditional diplomacy, modern diplomacy tends to provide benefits for various countries in cooperation efforts. The results found are that the good image of a country can influence the opinion of foreigners towards the country, but the implementation of branding is still a challenge for the country, where the good image has not been able to have a major influence on increasing tourism, where the problem of tourism security tends to be. a big challenge for the country.
