Abstract

Indonesia has committed to the ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific (AOIP), and one of the commitments includes its efforts to enhance South-South Cooperation (SSC). Within those SSC sectors, one of the most promising sectors are the Climate change aspects such as Agriculture, disaster risk reduction, renewable energy and energy efficiency, forestry, transport, water resources, and waste management. Notably, countries' recognition is growing to utilize SSC as a strategic tool in addressing climate change and achieving their National Development Contributions (NDC). This paper employs qualitative research methods, drawing insights from existing literature and data, to analyse Indonesia's SSC efforts as part of its AOIP commitment. The study sheds light on Indonesia's endeavours to provide SSC within the Indo-Pacific region, considering the political, economic, and strategic benefits of assisting countries in this area. Additionally, it underscores the significance of technological exchange, particularly with countries sharing similar geo-climatic, cultural, and socio-economic conditions, in fostering effective cooperation, particularly within the Climate Change agenda. The study proposes a potential framework for cooperation by aligning each host country's specific needs with an analysis of their NDCs, complemented by the expertise of contributing nations.

Abstract

This article focuses on the broader misalignment of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs by multi-national corporations in Southeast Asia, particularly in the agricultural sector. It explains the likely causes of such impact through the lens of the Stakeholder Theory. The paper aims to illustrate how corporations present and strategize their CSR initiatives, emphasizing that the proposed solutions may only sometimes align with the actual needs of the recipients. Using Freeman's perspective/ This paper argues that an intrinsic disparity exists between the intentions and execution of CSR programs, particularly those initiated by multi-national companies, and the divergence of expectations between corporations acting as implementers and the recipients of these programs. Despite the clear articulation of these requests by most affected locals, multi-national corporations often need help to meet these demands. As a result, the lack of accessible information and limited consumer literacy, coupled with political and commercial branding by ASEAN, creates a conducive environment for CSR misalignments.Keywords: CSR; Southeast Asia; agriculture; stakeholder theory

Abstract

Throughout modern history, internationalism has been one of the most powerful forces that drives global political changes. While existing research focuses exceptionally on liberal internationalism, studies devoted to internationalism beyond its liberal and Western forms remain relatively scant. Building on a conception that perceives internationalism as a form of human practices, this article explores the evolution of the concept of internationalism in the Global South through a series of political practices from the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 and the 1955 Asian-African Conference in Bandung to the proposal of the New International Economic Order in 1974 and the BRICS’s contestation over NATO’s Libyan intervention in 2011. It is argued that the normative core of internationalism in the Global South is constituted of three major components – pluralism, solidarism, and developmentalism, each in its particular form. Taken together, it envisions an international order rooted in the solidarity of the post-colonial peoples based on their shared colonial past, underpinned by a pluralistic outlook of political life, and places emphasis on redistributive justice in structuring the international economic order. Though some argue that with the rise of the BRICS countries, there will be a revival of Global South internationalism, this article concludes that this is not likely to happen at present.

Abstract

Telecommunications service provider companies face challenges in expanding their business in the global market due to rapidly changing technology, one of which is experienced by PT. Telekomunikasi Indonesia (Telkom). Telkom is a leading telecommunications company in Indonesia that significantly contributes to Indonesia's digitization and dominates the country's telecommunications market. As Telkom's business grows, the company expands globally, with implications for its operations in Indonesia. Based on the globalization strategy framework, the analysis acknowledges that the interaction between globalization and technology, sustainability, and politics poses challenges and opportunities for Telkom. The influence of massive digital transformation requires Telkom to restructure its strategies for expansion in the global market by strengthening its position in the national market. Telkom must ensure its position in Indonesia as a state-owned enterprise with significant responsibility for the future of digital Indonesia as a sustainable influence. Regulations that Telkom must face come from both national and international levels as a result of politics. Telkom's strategy is analyzed using three strategies within the globalization strategy framework. The author proposes several business expansion strategies in the digital era from this research analysisKeywords: digital era; multinational enterprise; global market; globalization; digital telecommunication industry

Abstract

The study explores the evolving role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) beyond its perceived neutrality, delving into its politicization particularly in the Global South's digitalization context. It argues that once seen as a neutral problem-solving tool, AI has transformed into a politically charged entity, embodying biases rooted in its creation and training processes. This transformation marks a shift towards AI colonialism, where corporate interests intertwine with extensive data extraction practices, raising concerns about extractive colonial power dynamics. The discourse of AI colonialism underscores the interdependence of AI, corporate interests, and the extraction of meaning, prompting a re-evaluation of regulatory frameworks to mitigate profit-driven activities. Furthermore, the article examines how AI's intersection with data extraction facilitates societal surveillance, leading to Digital Apartheid in Sub-Saharan Africa—a manifestation of racial capitalism in the digital age. This Digital Apartheid perpetuates social segregation based on race through AI-driven technologies, exacerbating biases that disproportionately affect people of color. The article advocates for open discussions on digital and AI ethics to address these challenges to counteract racial discrimination and foster a more inclusive and equitable technological landscape. Overall, the abstract highlights the complex socio-political dimensions of AI, urging for proactive measures to mitigate its negative impacts and ensure fair and just technological development.Keywords: artificial intelligence; AI coloniality; digital apartheid; racial capitalism

Abstract

South-South Cooperation was first conceived at the 1955 Bandung Conference, which led to the foundation of the Non-Aligned Movement in 1961 and other important initiatives within the UN system, such as creating the G77 and elaborating the Buenos Aires Plan of Action. Since the beginning of the century, this cooperation modality has re-emerged and is now considered a catalyst for sustainable development. Given this context, this paper aims to analyze its ideological and political origins, definitions, and evolution, highlighting its importance as an instrument of foreign policy and development cooperation. In addition, a comparison between South-South and North-South Cooperation is made through five dimensions: ideas, institutions/political systems, interests, organizations, and vectors/schemes. Through this comparative approach, the author seeks to present consensual aspects of what is understood as South-South Cooperation and portray the diversity of strategies implemented by countries in the Global South.Keywords: South-South Cooperation; North-South Cooperation; Global South; sustainable developmen; BRICS

Abstract

The journey of Thailand's cinematic queer existence can be traced back to the 1960s with a portrayal of a same-sex couple's tragic story. However, the re-emergence of Thailand's cinematic queer in the form of the Boys Live series in 2020 has succeeded in enticing audiences' attention and soon created the narrative of the exact sex couple series portrayal to be the icon of Thailand's entertainment industry. The increased demand for Boys Love series production later shifted into giving a proper platform for the LGBT community to represent themselves in the media. The expansion in exposure led to reshaping the discourse in society and creating a way for familiarising the community with the public, all while providing the chance to address the topic matters, including long-standing discrimination.Keywords: LGBT; human rights; discourse school; media representation; gender equality

Abstract

This study investigates public behavior in Indo-Pacific countries, employing the Exit, Voice, and Loyalty framework. In an era marked by globalization and interconnectedness, citizen choices and actions in the Indo-Pacific region are increasingly influenced by global trends and international relations. Trust in government plays a pivotal role, affected by public scrutiny in an interconnected world and impacting trust levels. Life satisfaction, a reflection of individual well-being, mirrors government performance and is a critical factor. Quantitative analysis, including multinomial logistic regression, using data from the Asian Barometer Survey 2008 unveils noteworthy results. Lower trust in government reduced life satisfaction, and negative government assessments drive exit behavior, with a 15% increase in the likelihood of citizens choosing to exit when trust is low. Conversely, higher life satisfaction and positive government assessments increase the probability of loyalty behavior by 20%, while voice behavior likelihood decreases by 10%. These findings provide valuable insights into public behavior in the Indo-Pacific, emphasizing the roles of trust, life satisfaction, and government performance, supported by numerical evidence. These insights hold significance in the Indo-Pacific's ever-evolving global landscape, serving as a foundation for policymaking and decision-making. Policymakers and researchers can use this knowledge to enhance governance, promote societal well-being, and deepen citizen-government connections in the dynamic Indo-Pacific region.Keywords: Indo-Pacific; Exit Voice and Loyalty Framework; life satisfaction; government performance; trust
