Abstract

The beauty of democracy is freedom of expression that promotes growth and development in the country. Cooperation among the various arms of government is vital to sustainable development of democracy. Governance process will be in total chaos if the arms of government are totally independent of one another. The extent of interdependency is the extent of unity and progress. The collaboration however must have basic limitations so as to prevent the fusion of governmental powers into one hand. If these roles are jeopardised the political system might relapse into anarchy. In developing countries, the extent of cooperation or distinction is not certain if they are present at all. Therefore the research questions posed are; what are the areas of collaborations of legislative-judicial relations in developing countries and how can they be improved. Institutionalism theoretical framework analysis is adopted. The study concludes on the premise that good governance, accountability and transparency in the daily operations of the two arms of government are inevitable to national development in developing countries.

Abstract

The clothing industry is a labor-intensive industry and many developing countries like it as a quick way towards industrialization. The clothing industry can absorb large amounts of labor and reduce unemployment as it creates jobs for unskilled labor. Therefore, the clothing industry is seen as ounces of way of reducing a country's poverty and bringing economic growth. The end of the Multi-Fibre Arrangement in 2005 transformed the global framework, marked by the expansion of global value chains and production networks, making competition in the international apparel market more intense. As a result, maintaining international competitiveness is crucial for success in the international clothing industry. Vietnam, as a developing nation, has experienced substantial economic growth and has become a strong competitor for other developing countries in attracting foreign direct investment. This study aims to investigate the impact of international trade agreements on Vietnam’s competitiveness in the international economy, providing insights into how the country has been able to maintain its competitiveness in the challenging global apparel market.

Abstract

The Fukushima Disaster in 2011 posed a challenge to Japan's energy security. Before the disaster, Japan was very dependent on nuclear power plants to fulfill its energy mix, mainly the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Energy security is prominently Japan's priority agenda because they do not possess natural resource endowments. Therefore, Japan must pay attention to provide energy availability access, emphasizing accessibility elements to maintain a secure position at global economic levels. Departing from this background, this paper analyzes Japan's energy security strategy after the Fukushima Disaster. The article questions the post-Fukushima Disaster, How does Japan maintained their energy security under the dynamics of current geopolitics of energy after Fukushima Disaster?. The finding obtained from the analysis is that Japan focuses on import policy to fulfill its national energy security. Meanwhile, the current international political situation has prosecuted Japan to China's foreign policy competitiveness and its impact on the geopolitical map. Moreover, Japan's energy security strategy is based on energy policy amid geopolitical energy competition to pursue energy security through two levels, namely the domestic and international sectors.

Abstract

This paper analyses the Indonesian Presidency at the G20 forum. The question is how Indonesia can hold a meeting in a situation where member countries conflict due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. In addition, the tug-of-war interests of major G20 member countries. Nevertheless, the G20 Presidency reaffirmed Indonesia's leadership in diplomacy and economy in the region as the only ASEAN country member of the G20. In addition, it is also a building image of Indonesia's economic resilience to its main crisis during the Covid-19 pandemic. This research uses the perspective of international political economy because of the influence of politics on meetings that are purely economic forums. The qualitative approach in this study focuses on analysis based on a series of meetings starting from Working Groups, Ministerial Meetings until later in November 2022. The Indonesian government mobilized all track diplomacy starting from track 1, G to G countries, and public diplomacy to the city level to succeed in the G20 Summit in Bali. The conclusion found that the interrelationship between the economic and political fields cannot be separated in implementing a country’s diplomacy in bilateral and multilateral relations.

Abstract

In Lesotho in recent years, government changeover has become a topic of interest among the electorate, journalists, foreign missions, civil organisations and beyond. Similarly, election commentators, political analysts and researchers alike have discussed 'who climbs to power' and 'how do they ascend to' or 'descend from power'. Significantly less efforts have been focused on the effects of a new administration. This paper attempts to contribute to the existing body of knowledge by examining the relationship between a change of government and the priorities in policy. This is achieved by examining the implications for change of the executive power on the policy making in Lesotho. Using the e-government experience of Lesotho based on the changeovers of 2012, 2015 and 2017, it was found that the executive turnover has a direct, yet antagonistic effect on policies. The results show that often a new administration either goes slowly with or discontinues the policies, programmes and projects of the predecessor. This not only widens the policy-implementation gap as service delivery is interrupted, consequently leading to a lapse in solving problems in the society. It also creates uncertainty, not necessarily about who comes to power, but about what policy direction they will pursue.

Abstract

This study aims to look at how the strategy for handling terrorism is implemented in this phase by using three analysis variables: strengthening legal infrastructure, strengthening institutional capacity, and implementing policies for handling terrorism. The analysis of these three variables is related to the similarities between the labels used by terrorist groups and the majority religion in Indonesia, namely Islam; and the ongoing democratization in the second ten years of the phase of handling terrorism in Indonesia. By using a qualitative approach and literature studies as well as limited observations from researchers who lived in Indonesia during the research period, the following findings were produced: the Indonesian government's strategy of counterattack against the threat of JI's malignancy experienced a "model disconnection" with previous Indonesian experiences (discontinuity model), which was caused there is a change in the threat of violence which is completely different from the previous threat even though it has a historical connection with past violent groups. Political changes since the enactment of the 1998 Reform so that the ongoing democratization process at that time has slowed the strengthening of legislation and hampered the development of institutional retaliation efforts. There are ideological/religious similarities i.e. Islam, which is held by the majority of the Indonesian population and JI, has created a dilemma for the government in its implementation

Abstract

Many reports in the mass media regarding the humanitarian crisis caused by economic and political instability in West Africa continued to become headlines that were widely discussed throughout 2019. The saying "there will be no smoke if there is no fire" also applies to the situation in West Africa. This crisis happened due to several reasons such as the increase in armed conflict crises, civil war, authoritarian leaders, and rebellions carried out by extremist groups. Instead of offering significant solutions to end the crisis, the government as a key actor sometimes even becomes the root cause of the conflict. Consequently, the situation triggered several civil society grassroots movements in various countries in West Africa. One of the global civil society movements that later emerged was The West Africa Network for Peacebuilding (WANEP). This research aims to look further at how WANEP worked in responding to the instability in West Africa in 2019. In looking at the role of WANEP, the Neo Kantian approach is used as the basis perspective in understanding the global civil society movements in peacebuilding attempts. The method used in this study is a qualitative method by analyzing data sources from official reports and previous studies, which are relevant to answering the research question. It is found that WANEP had initiated and was involved in many capacity-building efforts to educate the people and minimize the impacts of the crisis.

Abstract

This research discusses the denuclearization agreement between The United States and the Republic of Korea, known as the “123 Agreement,” in 2018. This study explains the process of the denuclearization agreement between the two countries and the reasons behind the denuclearization agreement using the de securitization concept, interdependency theory, denuclearization concept, and principal negotiation theory. This research method is qualitative research using library research and official document. The results of this study indicate that peace efforts through denuclearization negotiations experienced ups and downs in the process, and the achievement of the denuclearization negotiation process was based on the respective interests of the United States and North Korea. North Korea has an interests economic sector. North Korea is being hit by poverty and it can be said that the country will go bankrupt. With this agenda, North Korea denuclearizes to secure the economic sector. This research concludes that the denuclearization agreement failed at the second meeting in Hanoi, Vietnam. This failure is because the United States does not want to lift the sanctions imposed in full even though North Korea has stopped testing and closed its nuclear development site
