Abstract

This research aims to explain that Indonesia plays an important role in promoting the use of Local Currency Settlement and Cross-Border QR Code while holding the ASEAN chairmanship position in 2023. Local Currency Settlement functions to settle bilateral transactions between countries in one Southeast Asian region using the currencies of each of these countries. The presence of the LCS was motivated by high global inflation due to geopolitical tensions and rising US Dollar interest rates, so that this situation became an opportunity for ASEAN member countries to use local currencies. The purpose of this research is to analyze the efficiency of the LCS as a method of trade transactions in the Southeast Asia region in strengthening economic integration and reducing dependence on the US Dollar. Even the LCS is the main instrument that has the impact of strengthening currency stability in the Southeast Asian countries themselves, making export-import activities easier for each other, and creating ease in the process of foreign capital inflows into the region. In addition, Indonesia also bears more responsibility in dealing with obstacles to the promotion and use of the Cross-border QR Code as a technology that will facilitate local currency transactions for ASEAN, which is expected to be carried out properly through the systems and strategies that have been designed. In this research using qualitative analysis methods, as well as the theory of integration of economic areas according to Van Niekerk related to Indonesia's role in promoting the efficiency of LCS and Cross-border QR Code in ASEAN. This research concludes that Indonesia invites every ASEAN member to use this LCS, because it will create conditions in accordance with the theme of the 2023 ASEAN Summit, where Southeast Asia has the potential to become the epicentrum of regional economic growth from now on into the future.

Abstract

As the highest decision holder of ASEAN for the next year, Indonesia must be able to address challenges in the region, including the Myanmar conflict that still heating up. The five consensus agreed by ASEAN in 2021 as a peaceful effort in Myanmar, still seem weak to sustain peace. Similar conditions were also experienced by Indonesia in 1976-2005, namely the conflict between the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) and Indonesia which was successfully reconciled through the Helsinki MoU agreement initiated by Vice President Jusuf Kalla and mediated by Finnish President Martti Ahtisaari, representatives of the European Union and ASEAN members. This article aims to explain how Indonesia can utilize its diplomatic potential in facilitating peace for Myanmar in the era of its chairmanship of ASEAN, by reflecting on Indonesia's success in the conflict between GAM and Indonesia. This article uses the literature research method by using journal articles, reports, government legislation and international organizations that have been published through their official websites. The findings presented by the author are that Indonesia should be able to take advantage of its position as chair of ASEAN by optimizing diplomacy through the widest possible dialogue in resolving the Myanmar conflict, as happened in Aceh.

Abstract

The 'immigration crisis' of 2015, as well as the increasing reluctance of European Union (EU) countries, such as Poland to accept asylum seekers, has been a prominent topic of discussion in recent years. Numerous migrants were compelled to undertake a perilous expedition and perish at the threshold of Europe in a bid to flee hazardous conflicts in their countries of origin. This issue has raised doubts about the EU's commitment to maintaining its foundational humanitarian principles, as outlined in Article 2 of the Treaty on European Union. By employing a qualitative research methodology and (Just) Securitisation Theory–which falls under the paradigm of social constructivism–as an analytical tool, the author focuses on the legal aspect and the practical methods safeguarding external borders of the EU, namely the European Union Naval Force Mediterranean (EUNAVFOR MED), as a response to the increase of migration. Given this basis, this study concurs that: 1) the EU strategy to migration management has not adopted a comprehensive security approach, which results in the neglection of the safety of asylum seekers; 2) EU law instruments regarding migration curtails the free movement of people, and thus is discriminatory towards asylum seekers; 3) EUNAVFOR MED is insufficient in ensuring the security of migrants, and yet its securitising moves are disproportionate to the threat in the region.   Keywords: European Union, Border Control, Securitisation, Just Securitisation Theory, EUNAVFOR MED

Abstract

After almost 10 years into the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the African continent remains left behind in many points of the SDG, including SDG 16 “Peace, Justice, and Strong Institution”. Many of the world’s current issues of armed conflict and territorial disputes still reside in the continent. While many new factors of armed conflict surfaced throughout the decade, a dominant issue remains a big hurdle in bringing peace to Africa, ethnic conflict. In order to solve ethnic conflicts, international efforts of peacekeeping become one of the most used strategies in the hopes to combat these issues. As of 2023, 6 out of the 12 ongoing global United Nations peacekeeping operations still reside in Africa. However, the issue of ethnic conflict remains prevalent and peacekeeping seems to be ineffective in de-escalating it. Using peacekeeping as third-party mediation theory by A.B. Fetherston, this article identifies that whilst UN Peacekeeping is relatively successful in conflict control, it still struggles with resolution processes which prevents long-term peace and resolution to take place. This article also identifies the lack of UN Peacekeeping capability in addressing local conflicts and the complexities of ethnic based-conflict, as well biases in peacekeeping operations contribute to effectiveness. This article also urges the need for greater communication between UN Peacekeeping and local actors, and regional bodies, as well as a more comprehensive training for peacekeeping in handling ethnic conflict.

Abstract

The growth of the South Korean entertainment sector, particularly K-Pop, has had a big influence on Indonesian identity and worldview. With its distinctive dance, music, fashion, and fan culture, K-Pop has shaped Indonesia's younger generation and allowed for a shift in cultural preferences and ways of thinking. The purpose of this research is to examine how K-Pop has influenced Indonesian identities and viewpoints. This study clarifies how Indonesians' perceptions of music, fashion, and other popular culture have been impacted by K-Pop's widespread appeal. The diversity of music and fashion styles in Indonesia is also enhanced and broadened by the influence of K-Pop. But there has also been some discussion over how K-Pop has influenced Indonesian identity. According to certain viewpoints, K-Pop's influence may change local preferences and threaten Indonesia's cultural identity. On the other hand, some perspectives see K-Pop's influence as a type of cultural globalization that can deepen and expand knowledge and appreciation of South Korean culture.

Abstract

This journal provides a comprehensive examination of the evolving dynamics surrounding Russia's rise in global power and the challenges it encounters in aligning with Vladimir Putin's vision. By using the Smart Power concept, which uses military power and diplomacy to achieve goals on the international stage, it is known as "Smart power". We examine how Russia has become more dominant in the military, economic and energy sectors over the past 20 years. However, Russia's influence is not as great as expected despite progress. Russia’s strong military capabilities could neither create fear of the enemy nor form friendship as it should. In addition, this country's economy does not get the full benefits of alliances with other countries. Furthermore, Russia finds it difficultto build trust with other countries because Russia tendsto use violence ratherthan discussions disguised in diplomacy. This analysis reveals a complex picture of Russia's future, highlighting the need to bridge the gap between hard and soft power in order to have a more unified and influential presence in the international stage. Keywords: Russia, Hard Power, Soft Power, Military, Economy, Diplomacy
