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

Abstract

The automotive component manufacturing ecosystem, particularly in Indonesia and Mexico, shows significant differences. This refers to the diversification of production in both Indonesia and Mexico, which results in product differences. Mexico sees Indonesia as being able to meet its domestic demand for automotive components. On the other hand, Indonesia sees Mexico as a new market for its commodities. However, as a step to connect the two countries to meet their respective market needs, the INA-LAC Business Forum serves as a platform to facilitate interaction between the two countries and strengthen their relationship, particularly in the areas of economy and trade. This study will focus on the INA-LAC Business Forum, which aims to serve as a bridge for both countries to explore each other's markets and its impact on the export of vehicle spare parts. This study is a descriptive qualitative study that uses secondary data collected through a literature review. This study uses David Ricardo's theory of comparative advantage and the concepts of liberal diplomacy and free trade, whereby this study can show that vehicle spare parts commodities can be facilitated to enter the Mexican market through the existence of a business forum Keywords— Bilateral Relations, Economy Diplomacy, Indonesia, Mexico, Vehicle Parts

Abstract

This article will discuss and explain the foreign policy formulation of Indonesia and the United Kingdom in the Indo-Pacific region. The urgency of this research emphasizes that both countries view maritime cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region as a crucial mechanism for national interests. However, the Indo-Pacific region is also a new front for conflict for major powers. Therefore, both countries must be able to employ a comprehensive strategy to become strategic partners. This research uses a qualitative methodology with a comparative model. Data collection techniques utilize literature and data analysis techniques using the tracing process. The results show that the two countries have different strategies in Indo-Pacific cooperation. This is based on differences in foreign policy orientation and identity. Furthermore, the different qualities and capacities of the two countries create differences in the formulation of their policy strategies. Indonesia applies the accommodation model, and the United Kingdom the alliance model.  Keywords— Accommodation, Indo-Pacific, Indonesia, Leadership, Strategy, United Kingdom

Abstract

 This study analyzes the potential of Multi-Track Diplomacy in the Korean drama The Fiery Priest, focusing on track 7 (religion) and track 9 (media). The Hallyu wave is viewed not only as a cultural and entertainment phenomenon but also as an instrument of South Korea’s Soft Power. Using qualitative methods with a semiotic approach, this research interprets symbols, narratives, and representations embedded in the series. The findings indicate that The Fiery Priest reflects diplomatic dimensions through religious elements and media influence. Scenes portraying communication with the Pope and the involvement of religious leaders symbolize principles of peacebuilding and religious diplomacy, highlighting respect for religious freedom and the rule of law. These aspects demonstrate the relevance of track 7 (religion) within Multi-Track Diplomacy. In addition, the global distribution of the drama through platforms such as Netflix illustrates track 9 (media), where transnational broadcasting shapes international public opinion. The series contributes to constructing South Korea’s image as a peace-oriented country, capable of mediating conflict while presenting information about the operation of Catholic institutions within its society. Overall, the drama demonstrates significant potential as a cultural product that embodies elements of Multi-Track Diplomacy through religion and media. Keywords–Hallyu, Multi-Track Diplomacy, Soft Power, The Fiery Priest

Abstract

The Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP), promoted by the Group of Seven (G7), is framed as a climate finance initiative that links energy transition with social justice in developing countries. In Indonesia, however, JETP operates not merely as a technical policy scheme but as a discursive arena where donor-country hegemony is articulated and stabilized. This study applies Discursive Hegemonic Mediation (DHM) to examine how global dominance is reproduced through the normalization of dependency and the limitation of critical perspectives within policy narratives. Methodologically, it employs Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), drawing on Norman Fairclough’s three-dimensional model to analyze the relationship between media texts, discursive practices, and broader political-economic structures. Findings from national online media coverage reveal an ambivalent framing of JETP: while narratives of green investment opportunities and transition urgency are amplified, structural critiques such as the predominance of loans over grants and uncertainties in donor commitments are reduced to technical concerns. Consequently, the media act as hegemonic mediators, permitting limited criticism without challenging the broader power relations of. The study concludes that JETP’s legitimacy in Indonesia is discursively constructed through processes that normalize dependency within the energy transition agenda.  Keywords— Discursive Hegemonic Mediation, Global Climate Finance, Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP), Just Energy Transition Partnership

Abstract

This study analyzes Indonesia’s position in the Indo-Pacific amid intensifying US-China Rivalry, focusing on how it preserves its national interests and strategic flexibility. Using a qualitative approach based on secondary data such as official foreign policy statements, government documents, and academic literature the research examines how Indonesian Foreign Policy responds to structural pressures in the region. The findings show that Indonesia does not align rigidly with either the United States or China. Instead, it adopts a hedging strategy that maintains constructive relations with both powers while avoiding formal alignment. This approach reflects Indonesia’s long-standing principle of being “free and active,” enabling it to navigate geopolitical competition without compromising its Strategic Autonomy. The study argues that Indonesia’s behavior is shaped by both the evolving power structure of the Indo-Pacific and its normative foreign policy foundations. By balancing engagement and caution, Indonesia sustains diplomatic flexibility and reduces the risk of entrapment in great-power rivalry. Ultimately, the research highlights how Indonesia manages external pressures while safeguarding autonomy, demonstrating the adaptive character of its foreign policy strategy in a contested regional order.  Keywords— Indonesia, Indo-Pacific, Indonesian Foreign Policy, Strategic Autonomy, US-China Rivalry

Abstract

This study analyzes how social interactions in Austrian society have been transformed by the rapid development of Vienna’s culture and urban dynamics. As a complex city, Vienna brings together local and foreign residents who engage in diverse social, economic, and cultural activities. One major driver of this transformation is globalization, along with the increasing number of tourists, which influences communication patterns, lifestyles, and social values. The research employs a qualitative approach using analytical descriptive methods. Data were collected from relevant literature, particularly Austrian government reports, publications from international organizations such as UNESCO and the OECD, and supporting academic studies. The findings indicate that Viennese society demonstrates a high level of tolerance and adaptability in response to global influences and international engagement. Nevertheless, traditional Austrian values such as order, politeness, and social solidarity remain central to social life. The study argues that Vienna’s hospitality and tourism industry, including accommodation services, functions not only as an economic sector but also as a key arena for shaping and strengthening social interactions. With its global impact, Vienna illustrates how a city can bridge macroeconomic prosperity, social well-being, and cultural preservation. Keywords— Austrian Society, Culture, Social Interaction, Tourism, Vienna
