Abstract

This research explores the communication behaviors of Afghan international students at IPB University, focusing on their cross-cultural social interactions. International students often encounter communication barriers due to differences in language, cultural norms, and social values, which can impact their academic adaptation. This study employed a qualitative approach, conducting in-depth interviews with five Afghan students. The findings indicate that students adopt verbal and nonverbal communication strategies reflecting their native culture while simultaneously attempting to adjust to local customs. They experience challenges like language limitations, cultural misunderstandings, and social stereotypes but show adaptive capacity through partial assimilation and participation in multicultural communities. Utilizing Face-Negotiation Theory and Cultural Adaptation Theory, the study analyzes their identity negotiation and social relationships. The research suggests that the presence of international students contributes to Indonesia's cultural diplomacy, with universities acting as non-state actors. Therefore, institutional support and cultural mentoring programs are essential to strengthen educational diplomacy and create an inclusive, globally competitive campus.

Abstract

Sea piracy in the Gulf of Aden (GoA) and Gulf of Guinea (GoG) is closely linked to radical groups operating in both regions. While the connection between Al-Shaabab and Somali Pirates is clear, the indirect effects of Boko Haram and Islamic State of West Africa (ISWAP) to the GoG related countries such as Nigeria and Cameroon is not well explored. Therefore, this study aims to conduct a comparative analysis to reveal how radicalism affects maritime security in the GoA and GoG through distinctly different mechanisms. In Somalia, Al-Shabaab’s direct involvement with Somali pirates creates a more manageable, albeit concentrated threat. Conversely, ISWAP and Boko Haram in Nigeria and Cameroon generate complex, multi-layered security challenges by disrupting both governmental security priorities and community-level stability, creating an indirect yet profoundly powerful impact on escalating incidents in the Gulf of Guinea. As a result, radicalism's negative impact in the GoA is more direct and manageable, in contrast to the GoG, which is more complex and requires a more comprehensive approach.  Keywords— Al-Shabaab, Boko Haram, Gulf of Aden, Gulf of Guinea, ISWAP, Maritime piracy, radicalism

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are vital for achieving SDG 1 (poverty alleviation) and SDG 8 (inclusive and sustainable economic growth). In Surakarta (Solo), MSMEs significantly contribute to local employment and poverty reduction. However, many face challenges in expanding beyond the local market, particularly in accessing foreign markets. This study analyses the role of Solo’s MSMEs in advancing SDGs 1 and 8 and explores barriers to global market entry. Using a qualitative approach through literature review and secondary data from the Surakarta Bureau of Statistics (BPS), the research identifies key obstacles and opportunities for MSMEs in supporting poverty reduction and economic growth. The Pentahelix Model—government, academia, business, civil society, and media—is applied to highlight the collaborative framework needed for MSMEs’ internationalization. Strengthening these stakeholders’ synergy can create an enabling environment, improving access to finance, training, and market information. A comprehensive strategy involving policy support, capacity building, and resource facilitation is essential to enhance MSMEs’ competitiveness in global markets, thereby maximizing their contribution to Sustainable Development Goals 1 and 8.  Keywords— MSMEs (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises), Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Poverty Eradication, Inclusive Economic Growth, International Market Access
