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. Key Words: ethnic conflict, SDG 16, peacekeeping, Africa

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 essay explores the intricate landscape of the gender pay gap in Aotearoa New Zealand, delving into the complexities through the lenses of socialist feminism and intersectionality. Despite New Zealand's commitment to gender equality since the introduction of the Equal Pay Act in 1972, persistent disparities remain, particularly for Māori and Pacific women. The socialist feminist perspective uncovers the roots of gender-based oppression intertwined with broader class-based inequalities, emphasizing the need for a unified labor movement. Simultaneously, intersectionality reveals that pay gaps are shaped by intersecting identities such as gender, race, and ethnicity. Māori and Pacific women face heightened challenges due to systemic racism and discrimination. To address these issues, policy initiatives are suggested, advocating for an intersectional approach that includes minimum wage increases, universal basic income, childcare support, and enhanced parental leave policies. The essay concludes by emphasizing the importance of recognizing and rectifying in-work poverty and promoting a collective, intersectional approach to achieve full gender parity in Aotearoa New Zealand. Keywords: Gender pay gap, Socialist feminism, Intersectionality, Aotearoa New Zealand, Gender equality policies

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

Abstract

The departure of the United Kingdom from the European Union, following the Brexit referendum, has had a profound impact on UK policies and strategies across various sectors. This influence is particularly significant in the field of sustainable urban development, which previously relied on substantial EU funding sources. The cessation of significant EU funding pushed the UK to realign its sustainable development strategy. This paper explores the repercussions of Brexit on UK sustainable urban development policies, highlighting the need for new funding strategies and resilience measures. It critically analyzes how the UK is adapting to these changes and evaluates the effectiveness of its post-Brexit strategies in sustaining urban growth. This analysis is conducted within the framework of neoliberal institutionalism, which provides insights into how international organizations like the European Union and the UK government interact in the context of shifting power dynamics and national interests.

Abstract

This journal explores the United Nations' (PBB) intervention in the conflict between Bosnia-Herzegovina and Serbia, with a particular focus on the tragic events depicted in the film "Quo Vadis, Aida?" The study delves into the challenges faced by the UN, an actor well-known for their conflict resolution since World War, but it is relatively new in finding resolutions in terms of conflict between ethnicity, and its attempts to balance humanitarian and military interests. Despite initial efforts created by the UN, the actions were deemed as failures as the pinnacle of the conflict is Srebenica Genocide. Through this research, the author aims to find the factors behind the failed efforts in peacekeeping in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Keywords: Srebrenica Genocide; The United Nations; Humanitarian Intervention.

Abstract

The urgency of energy transition continuously presents itself in various conditions and situations. Within this article, the background used to visualize the problem is of how the energy transition could be achieved whilst still preserving energy resilience. The way to do so is through the implementation of an accurate and effective carbon market system. China, as one of the biggest contributors of energy and carbon emissions, has the urgency to implement said system. This article tries to analyze using the method of qualitative research through the carbon market effectivity—particularly within China's Carbon Market System—that is purposefully one of the most significant efforts to urge energy transition, the issues that are disruptive and harmful towards the projection of results are analyzed. This article seeks to find the core problem and reasonings behind the ineffectiveness of China’s carbon market. Keywords: Energy transition, energy resilience, carbon market, China, foreign affairs

Abstract

The Foreign Agents Bill caused a significant divide between the Georgian government, its civil society, and President Salome Zourabichvili with her European Union (EU) aspirations, due to its controversial nature of alienating the existence of civil society in the country, along with the fact that it is in direct opposition with the twelve point candidacy criteria issued by the EU – thus endangering any future prospects and relations between Georgia and the EU. This paper will analyze the decision-making processes Zourabichvili employed to navigate this considerable challenge to her political survival as a pro-EU leader. Through the lens of poliheuristic theory, this paper explores two critical dimensions encountered in Zourabichvili’s decision-making process – namely the domestic political and strategic dimensions – through an analysis of her political psychology. It highlights the importance of considering national interests during policy formation, as negative reactions can significantly impact a leader’s political survival and the nation’s geopolitical influence. Keywords: Georgia; European Union; Foreign Agents Bill; Poliheuristic Theory; Political Survival

Abstract

Nowadays, the democratization process is often hampered not by power struggles, but by the presence of 'invisible hands' (certain organizations, elites, and groups) that penetrate the government structure and disrupt the circulation of democratization in a country. This case occurred in the Colombian government, where there is a specific pattern of nonstate social order - companies, political elites, mafia, and so on - that influences the government structure of a country, and plays the role of power behind the official government. This causes an issue that affects the lives of the Colombian people and government, namely the existence of mafia elites who infiltrate various aspects of society, including the law and government of Colombia itself. The research method used is qualitative descriptive based on data collection through books, journals, articles, and other reliable sources. This paper aims to explain how the presence of mafia elites in Colombia affects the country's democracy and civil society life using Robert Michels' Iron Law of Oligarchy theory. The results of the study show that the existence of drug cartels uses power to make unilateral decisions by taking actions that ignore the official government and the voices of civil society, the dominance of elites and criminals by launching violence and repression for their own interests, and the apathy of the Colombian people towards the existing government system, seen from their indifference to the leaders elected during the election. Keywords: democracy, elite, oligarchy, iron law of oligarchy, mafia, Colombia

Abstract

Tiongkok membentuk kebijakan Polar Silk Road (PSR) di tahun 2018. PSR dimaksudkan untuk mendorong pembangunan ekonomi positif antara Tiongkok dan negara-negara kawasan Arktik. Meskipun begitu, eksistensi PSR tetap dipandang sebagai ancaman untuk Amerika Serikat (AS) karena Tiongkok juga memiliki hubungan kooperatif dengan Rusia di kawasan Arktik. Keadaan tersebut mengakibatkan AS menghadapi dua ancaman: (1) persaingan ekonomi AS-Tiongkok; dan (2) kerja sama militer Tiongkok-Rusia. Dengan demikian, artikel ilmiah ini berupaya untuk menganalisis secara mendalam terkait persepsi ancaman AS atas eksistensi PSR, bagaimana ancaman tersebut mendorong respons dan tindakan AS di Arktik, beserta implikasinya terhadap stabilitas kawasan. Penggunaan kerangka teori power transition dipilih untuk menjelaskan respons AS terhadap PSR melalui tiga indikator: (1) ancaman dan dilema keamanan; (2) perimbangan kekuatan; serta (3) perdamaian dan perang. Power transition menjelaskan terkait eksistensi ancaman yang mendorong AS untuk melakukan perimbangan kekuatan melalui respons-responsnya seperti memberikan donor ekonomi dan penguatan aliansi di kawasan. Teori ini juga menekankan pentingnya tingkat perimbangan kekuatan yang diberikan AS, karena bentuk perimbangan dalam tingkat ekstrem akan menyebabkan eskalasi militer dan instabilitas kawasan. Maka dari itu, berdasarkan teori power transition, langkah paling strategis yang dapat diimplementasikan AS adalah dengan melakukan perimbangan kekuatan dalam tingkat rendah sehingga stabilitas Arktik tetap terjaga.   Kata kunci: Polar Silk Road, Arktik, Rivalitas AS-Tiongkok-Rusia, Transisi Kekuatan   China established the Polar Silk Road (PSR) policy in 2018. The PSR aims to build positive economic developments between China and the Arctic states. Nonetheless, China’s involvement in the PSR is still perceived as a strategic threat by the United States (the U.S.), due to China’s cooperative relationship with Russia in the Arctic. This leaves the U.S. facing two threats: (1) US-China economic competition; (2) China-Russia military cooperation. Consequently, this article aims to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the U.S. threat perceptions regarding China’s PSR, how these threats drive the U.S. responses and actions in the Arctic, along with the implications for regional stability. Power transition theory is used to explain the U.S. response to the PSR through three indicators: (1) threats and security dilemma; (2) balance of power; and (3) peace and war. Power transition explains the existence of threats that drive the U.S. to pursue a balance of power through its responses, such as providing economic aid and strengthening alliances in the region. This theory also emphasizes the importance of the U.S. maintaining a balanced power level, as an extreme form of balance may result in military escalation and regional instability. Therefore, according to power transition theory, the most strategic measure that the U.S. can implement is to maintain a low level of balance of power in order to ensure Arctic stability. Keywords: Polar Silk Road, Arctic, The US-China-Russia Rivalry, Power Transition
