Abstract

In 2005, Imtiaz Ahmad wrote an article on the relations between India and the Muslim World. Ahmad argued that the ties between India and the Muslim World would be determined mainly by two factors: (1) the diverse and multiple identities of Indian Muslims and (2) the “relative moderation” driven by the Indian model of secularism. In the wake of the current Indian government led by the Hindu nationalist BJP, it is essential to review Ahmad’s argument.  Although BJP is known as a party that strives to strengthen the Hindu nationalists’ agenda in Indian polity, it is vital to note that BJP maintains good relations with most Muslim countries. As BJP furthers its plan to scrap the special status of Kashmir and amend the Citizenship Act, there are worries that India’s stature in the Muslim World will worsen. This article would like to investigate whether the Hindu nationalist outlook in contemporary Indian politics and the standing of the current government towards Indian Muslims will eventually affect India’s relations with the Muslim World, especially in the case of India-Indonesia and India-Malaysia Relations.

Abstract

This article discusses why the Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA) is significant for Indonesia and how Indonesia plays a strategic role in IORA to realize national interests and advance its vision as the World Maritime Axis? In answering these questions, we build arguments based on Christian Le Miere's theory of maritime diplomacy and Helen Milner's theory of international cooperation. The argument in this article consists of two things. First, IORA is very significant for Indonesia because the organization has a common vision with Indonesia's national interest. Second, in order to achieve this goal, the Indonesian government utilizes cooperative and persuasive maritime diplomacy as a means of enhancing international cooperation. This is demonstrated by Indonesia's involvement in encouraging negotiations and facilitating cooperation in the IORA forum. This is also reinforced by Indonesia's election as chair of IORA for the period 2015 to 2017 as a manifestation of Indonesia's existence as a maritime country in the international arena.

Abstract

The study seeks to explain the importance of the ‘soft law’ framework in protecting climate migrants and internally displaced persons in Bangladesh. We argue that the present protection gaps may be addressed without requiring new, enforceable regulations. This study employs qualitative research methodologies based on literature research. Additionally, we draw on secondary data from internet news and academic papers pertinent to the topics discussed in this work. From this research, we found that developing a soft law framework by the International non-governmental organizations (INGOs) and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) play an important role to assist Bangladeshi climate migrants. Soft law procedures allow increased inclusivity in global regulation and governance.

Abstract

Climate change is a significant global concern due to its potential for long-term detrimental impacts on multiple facets of life. However, prevailing viewpoints on climate change often exhibit a bias towards the interests of the global north, disregarding the needs and vulnerabilities of the Global south. This research utilizes qualitative descriptive methods, integrating theories of international relations, climate diplomacy, and Indonesian foreign policy to offer a comprehensive explanation. Indonesia, being highly susceptible to climate change impacts, plays a pivotal role in addressing this disparity. However, previous studies have overlooked the examination of how Indonesia can optimize its climate diplomacy efforts under President Joko Widodo's leadership. Analyzing Indonesia's climate diplomacy endeavors yields valuable insights for the country's contributions to global climate change solutions and addressing its vulnerabilities. This shapes Indonesia's future perspective on international relations, balancing its interests with the imperative for global cooperation. Indonesia's involvement under the leadership of President Joko Widodo in global climate change efforts is pivotal for fostering an equitable and sustainable future.

Abstract

In the beginning of 1950’s, Indonesia and Sweden have maintained diplomatic relations for the past 72 years. Multiple areas of collaboration have been implemented by both parties. Collaboration based on a blue economy is one of the initiatives implemented to foster economic progress. This study seeks to assess how Indonesia's national interests align with those of Sweden in the blue economy. To solve this research question, the research used the Neoliberalism of international cooperation and national interests. The blue economy cooperation agreement between Indonesia and Sweden is listed in the Sweden-Indonesia Sustainability Partnership (SISP). Indonesia should collaborate with Sweden on the blue economy due to the country's competitive advantages in the maritime technology sector. The pursuit of each country's respective goals is the driving force behind the partnership that exists between Indonesia and Sweden. The improvement of the standard of living of the local population as well as the preservation of the marine ecosystem are two of the primary reasons why Indonesia and Sweden should work together to advance the blue economy.

These findings confirm that Indonesia’s public diplomacy can be conducted using social media, to further promote Indonesia’s foreign policy.

Abstract

UNHCR has a history of success in managing humanitarian issues and ultimately contributing to the birth of a new consciousness to consciously end conflicts. However, in the context of the conflict in Myanmar, UNHCR, which has systematically conducted humanitarian interventions to build a new consciousness to end the conflict, has failed to manage the humanitarian interventions to build a new consciousness to end the conflict. This article will explain the factors of failure in ending the conflict in order to see how deep the value of peace consciousness of peace consciousness can influence decisions in the conflict. This article finds that the Myanmar government's lack of political awareness of a number of ratified humanitarian conventions has made UNHCR's humanitarian interventions hit and run, so that peace values do not grow into core values. UNHCR's failure to transform the Refugee Convention into a new value in the ASEAN normative structure has rendered double contingency ineffective.

Abstract

This article examines the factors shaping Indonesia’s Local Content Requirements (LCR) policy on the telecommunications manufacturing industry, specifically on the production of smartphones from 2015 to 2020. The LCR policy mandates both foreign and domestic corporations to utilize local content up to a specified minimum threshold. The Indonesia’s LCR policy on the telecommunications industry is set at a minimum of 30%. This local content could be derived from labor, raw materials for product manufacturing, or investment. Nevertheless, the implementation of the Indonesia’s LCR policy is considered contradictory to the previous government’s endeavors to augment the level of foreign direct investment. This is because the LCR policy is seen as a protectionist measure that may potentially hinder foreign companies, thereby inducing a decrease in investment. This study applies a political economy approach with library research data collection methods and subsequently analyzed using qualitative methods. The result of this research shows that the Indonesian government’s LCR policy is underpinned by two primary factors and interests. Firstly, it aims to support corporate interests, particularly the development of the local telecommunications industry. Secondly, the policy is motivated by a long-term ambition to increase the participation of Indonesian businesses in Global Value Chain (GVC) networks.
