Abstract

This article examines how Indonesia’s position within palm oil Global Production Networks contributes to recurrent transboundary haze in Southeast Asia and why global sustainability norms remain weakly embedded in local production practices. Using the framework of Global Production Networks—focusing on value, power, and embeddedness—the study employs qualitative document analysis of various sources. The findings reveal that haze persists due to uneven value distribution, imbalanced power relations, and weak normative embeddedness, leading to unsustainable land-use practices. The study concludes that improving domestic regulations, reforming certification processes, supporting smallholders, and integrating Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are essential for transforming Indonesia’s palm oil governance

Abstract

This study analyzes the participation of four ASEAN member states (Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Singapore) in the INTERFET mission during the 1999 East Timor crisis. Utilizing Barry Buzan’s English School theory (Pluralism vs. Solidarism) and a qualitative case study method, it examines how this engagement reflects normative shifts. The baseline data illustrates a severe humanitarian crisis that prompted individual state participation under UN Resolution 1264. Findings reveal that while ASEAN maintained institutional bystanding to respect sovereignty (Pluralism), member states individually embraced humanitarian responsibility (Solidarism). This dilemma was normatively reconciled through Indonesia’s formal consent. The study concludes that ASEAN's non-interference principle is not absolute, but an adaptive political tool accommodating normative flexibility

Abstract

This study aims to analyze how the interactions and role division among the government, non-governmental organization (OFI), and local communities form collaborative governance in orangutan conservation at Tanjung Puting National Park (TNTP). Utilizing the collaborative governance framework of Ansell and Gash (2008) enriched by the joint capacity concept of Emerson et al. (2012), this qualitative study employs a case study approach based on secondary data. The findings indicate an integration of joint capacity, where TNTP Authority provides legal legitimacy and zoning management, OFI contributes funding, rehabilitation, and technical expertise, and local communities participate in field monitoring and fire prevention. This study concludes that collaboration effectiveness is driven by resource interdependence among actors, although its sustainability faces challenges regarding capacity asymmetry, high reliance on external funding, and ecological vulnerability.

Abstract

This study aims to examine ASEAN's response to the Rohingya crisis and the human security challenges faced by the Rohingya amidst the limitations of ASEAN's regional response. Using the perspectives of international organization and human security theory, along with qualitative descriptive research methods and document and literature studies, the findings indicate that ASEAN's response remains constrained by the ASEAN Way, particularly the principle of non-intervention. As an actor, ASEAN has not been able to formulate a clear collective response; as an arena, ASEAN provides space for dialogue without effective collective action; and as an instrument, its response has been largely limited to humanitarian assistance. Consequently, threats to the personal, community, and political security of the Rohingya persist. The study concludes that ASEAN's normative commitments limit its capacity to address the root causes of the crisis and provide comprehensive human security protection

Abstract

This study analyzes the conceptual evolution of generational warfare (1GW–5GW) and tests its operational limits in direct state-on-state confrontations. Employing a four-dimensional generational analytical framework and a qualitative case study method, this research evaluates the US–Israeli operations (Operation Rising Lion) against Iran and Iran's asymmetric response (Operation True Promise). The findings demonstrate that while 5GW and postmodern strategies successfully achieve leadership decapitation and cognitive perception manipulation, they fail to force absolute political surrender. Conversely, Iran's massive ballistic missile counter-strikes demonstrate the enduring power of kinetic deterrence in neutralizing non-kinetic dominance. The study concludes that a "paradigm convergence" has occurred, wherein high-level non-kinetic coercion and asymmetric kinetic firepower mutually limit each other. These findings redefine the dynamics of modern warfare between sovereign states

Abstract

This study examines how education functioned as an instrument of Indonesia’s soft power toward Afghanistan between 2021 and 2025. Applying Joseph Nye’s Soft Power Theory and educational diplomacy concepts within a qualitative document analysis framework, the study evaluates official policy documents, scholarship records, and institutional reports. The findings reveal that Indonesia successfully projected soft power through a hybrid, multi-track mechanism combining state-funded programs like the KNB Scholarship with initiatives from Islamic higher education institutions and civil society. This approach integrated moderate Islamic values (Wasathiyyah) and South–South solidarity to maintain non-coercive diplomatic engagement. However, Taliban-imposed restrictions on female mobility and financial limitations constrained its broader impact. The study concludes that education serves as a effective non-coercive foreign policy tool for middle powers in conflict-affected regions, combining educational access, Islamic solidarity, and long-term people-to-people diplomatic outreach.
