AEGIS : Journal of International Relations Vol 2, No 1 (2017): September 2017 - February 2018
Publisher : President University

The Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI) is regarded as one of the most aggressive and impactful worldwide efforts conducted to contain the spread of WMD materials and delivery system.Despite heavy pressure from the United States and its palpable position on the world’s maritime counter-terrorism and WMD effort, Indonesia has always maintained a position of non-participation towards the initiative. This article identified principles of sovereignty and foreign policy trajectory as one of the main hindering factor behind Indonesia’s refusal and proposes a re-evaluation towards both the initiative and Indonesia’s national position.

Malaysia’s Governance Reforms under PM Najib Razak Endi Haryono
AEGIS : Journal of International Relations Vol 2, No 1 (2017): September 2017 - February 2018
Publisher : President University

In response to new socio-political conditions in Malaysia following the general election, Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak launched a reform that brought fundamental changes in the economy and governance in Malaysia. By the end of 2011, there were four reform programs - TNR called it a transformation - covering three programs in the first two years of its administration, namely the introduction of the One Malaysia Concept (1Malaysia), the Government Transformation Program (GTP), and the New Economic Model Model / NEM). Entering the third year (2011) Najib fulfilled it with political reform, including the abolition of the Domestic Security Act (ISA). Reforms are an inescapable choice and an option that is not easy in order to maintain popular support for the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition, especially the United Malay National Organization (UMNO), which is ruling.

Populism and the Fading Embedded Liberalism? Muhammad Sigit Andhi Rahman
AEGIS : Journal of International Relations Vol 2, No 1 (2017): September 2017 - February 2018
Publisher : President University

This paper discusses the development of institutions within international political economy over the course of the last 70 years. From World War II to the present, states have constructed regimes to manage some-but not all-aspects of the international economy. A once-strong regime to manage trade has weakened since the 1990s. Likewise, with the abandonment of dollar-gold convertibility in 1973, a robust regime to manage monetary relations collapsed. Conversely, states originally left finance unregulated but in 1988 created and progressively have strengthened rules to manage international banking. In production, the proposed Multilateral Agreement on Investment collapsed in 1998 without ever securing necessary multilateral support. Despite the variations, those institutions are the manifestation of the idea of embedded liberalism, a compromise between the need of developing a self-regulated market and providing economic security for the communities. Arguably, the development and variations in institutions are by and large shaped by the changes in international power structure and social purposes of the institutions. Furthermore, this paper also wants to address the prospect of embedded liberalism especially in the context of recent rise of populism and democratic rejection against free trade as reaction toward the results of globalization. It is too soon to argue about the end of embedded liberalism. This paper is structured into two main parts. The first part is a conceptual framework discussing the nature of institutions and its variations. It is mainly built from the work of John G. Ruggie on international institution. The second part is an empirical analysis of to what extent states are able to renew the promise of embedded liberalism in order to address citizens’ dissatisfaction with globalization and growing sense of political helplessness. This last section is indebted to Amitai Etzioni for developing communitarian solutions to populism.

Cultural and International Dissonance on Girls Empowerment: the Case of Afghanistan’s Female Son Made Yaya Sawitri
AEGIS : Journal of International Relations Vol 2, No 1 (2017): September 2017 - February 2018
Publisher : President University

Bacha Posh is a Dari term which literary means “girls dressed as boys. Girls who were born in a family without son must disguise themselves as boys under social or economic pressure. This arrangement end when the girl reaches puberty as she has to turn back to her birth gender and get married. This article underlines incongruence between international discourse and cultural discourse on girl child. International community often depicts girl child as helpless population with very limited capacity and agency. Bacha Posh is proving just the opposite. They serve as a portrayal of Afghan girls who cleverly resisting the rigid societal norms in the fragile country where having sons equal security. Through the lives of the bacha posh, this article wishes to unveil what it means to be girls in the post-war Afghanistan where the international community has persistently been trying to teach Afghans about gender and human rights.

AEGIS : Journal of International Relations Vol 2, No 1 (2017): September 2017 - February 2018
Publisher : President University

One of the main issues in international relations today is about the security of (natural) resources. Water is now increasingly viewed as one of strategic resource that has to be secured. In this context, water security and international relations are often intertwined. It can lead to either interstate cooperation and even conflict. This paper discusses the importance of water management in the Mekong river. This river flows from China, to Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and ends in Vietnam. Mekong river is also one of the world’s greatest and resource rivers. This paper argues that the water security management in the Mekong River is not only crucial for the above countries but it is also playing a very significant role in the regional stability in Southeast Asia.

The Importance of Integrating Environmental Security to Human Security Based Policy in Managing Humanitarian Crisis: The Case of the Lake Chad Basin Kusumawardani, Natasya
AEGIS : Journal of International Relations Vol 2, No 1 (2017): September 2017 - February 2018
Publisher : President University

Humanitarian crisis is one of the critical problems in international relations which threaten the security. Humanitarian crisis could be caused by many factors, either originated by human activities or environmental degradations. It changed the idea that threat could only be state related, but it could also directly be impacting the people. This article argues that in order to manage this problem, there is the need to shift the perspective in seeing security from traditional (state-centric) to non-traditional (people-centred) to build effective policy. It also argues that environmental security is a part of human security, both have close linkage of action and reaction. The case in the Lake Chad Basin shows that there is a threat to human security from the environment, either it is coming from the water crisis in the lake and the impact of climate change.

Exploring the Contribution of Islam towards Global Governance Locating Ethics within the Discourse of Policy Siyech, Mohammed Sinan
AEGIS : Journal of International Relations Vol 2, No 1 (2017): September 2017 - February 2018
Publisher : President University

This paper aims to tackle the problem that Global Governance is currently encountering: the absence of ethics within the framework of policy making. It seeks to fill this gap by discussing how Islamic thought can contribute positively towards the making the notion of ethics central in governance. The paper will begin with an overview of Global Governance and the historical and current intellectual trends within this field. It will then provide an overview of the knowledge gaps that currently exist in global governance. From there, the paper will discuss the role of ethics in directing governance across the world. To do so, it will explore the literature on International Relations and Religion that critiques Max Weber’s ‘Secularization Thesis’. The paper then takes forward the discussion of Islam in international relations by examining the ethical principles that underpin the design of Islamic law. This is known as ‘Objectives of Islamic Law’ (‘Maqasid ash Shariah’). It then uses these principles to understand how Islam can contribute to two major aspects of global governance: (1) the environment and (2) human mobility specifically focused on refugees.
