Abstract

Secessionist agitation in Africa remains a recurring challenge in the postcolonial era, largely shaped by ethnic nationalism, identity politics, and systemic marginalization. These movements are often rooted in grievances stemming from political exclusion, economic inequality, and historical injustices against minority ethnic groups. The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in Nigeria and the Ambazonia separatist movement in Cameroon are examples of such struggles, seeking autonomy in response to perceived domination by the majority ethnic groups. While the IPOB’s agitation traces its origins to the 1967 declaration of Biafra and the subsequent civil war, the Ambazonian crisis is a consequence of the longstanding marginalization of Anglophone Cameroonians in a Francophone-dominated state structure. A qualitative research method that interrogates secondary data sources, including historical archives, policy documents, and scholarly literature was adopted. The findings indicate that these movements are not merely relics of colonial legacies and ethnic grievances but are also shaped by contemporary socio-economic challenges, systemic exclusion, and state repression. Moreover, the security implications extend beyond Nigeria and Cameroon, posing significant threats to the regional stability in West Africa. Therefore, inclusive governance, equitable resource distribution, and diplomatic interventions by regional and international organizations are essential for mitigating tensions. Meanwhile, political restructuring, economic reforms, and sustained dialogue remain critical pathways for achieving sustainable peace and stability in Nigeria and Cameroon.

Abstract

This research aims to explain Indonesia's diplomacy to make Bahasa Indonesia an official language at UNESCO. This research was conducted because Indonesian is one of the languages with the largest number of speakers in the world. In addition, Indonesian is also a form of Indonesia's soft power to the world. This research applied the concept of language as power and diplomacy theory for analysis, utilizing a literature review approach. The results of this study show that Indonesian diplomacy is carried out through shutle diplomacy and total diplomacy, by mobilizing all components of the nation as well as sustainable actions in accordance with the mandate of the Ministry of Education and Culture Regulation. So that all elements of the nation have a duty to do this through various ways. One of them is done through educational channels such as BIPA, or cooperative institutions with governments in various countries to study Indonesia comprehensively. This BIPA phenomenon is the first step to learning about Indonesia holistically. Indonesian diplomacy is also successful because various countries have used Indonesian as part of communication in addition to the official language, for example Vietnam, Canada, Poland, Australia etc.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyze how the role of the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia Kuala Lumpur in tackling the problem of the rights of Indonesian women migrant workers. With the increasing population in Indonesia, job opportunities within the country are limited, which has led to swelling unemployment rates in Indonesia, and Indonesians migrating to neighboring countries, such as Malaysia. Workers, especially women, are often trapped in unfair and high-risk work situations, such as being denied their rights to unpaid wages for long periods. Violations of women migrant workers' rights include lack of legal protection, massive labor exploitation, and gender discrimination that often occurs in the workplace. The Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia Kuala Lumpur's involvement in facilitating these rights is crucial. The researcher used a descriptive qualitative research approach, the initial research information came from interviews with relevant parties, such as reports, articles, books, or pre-existing databases. The Indonesian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur is also responsible for providing protection, assistance, and advocacy for Indonesian women migrant workers who experience problems in Malaysia. The Indonesian government and the Indonesian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur need to raise public awareness about the importance of protecting the rights of women migrant workers and the dangers faced by them. By using more effective policies to protect the rights of women migrant workers, such as policies on the protection of migrant workers' rights.

Abstract

As a minority, Tibetans struggle to realize self-determination amidst the onslaught of oppression by China so that they can achieve freedom. Using a constructivist approach, this research analyzes China's dynamics in suppressing the fulfillment of Tibetan self-determination. The suppression carried out by China represents its more assertive position in the problems in Tibet, as well as being an idea that shows the interest in aligning Chinese identity, which makes the problems of minority groups a threat of separatism. The findings of this research include several main notes. China has succeeded in suppressing Tibet's position through various actions ranging from strengthening constructions related to Tibetan history and identity that can benefit its internal position, emphasizing securitization in the Tibetan issue to expand its sovereignty in peripheral areas, practicing modern colonialism, and strengthening the practice of particularism and creating a "New Era of China" that can limit Tibetan society. Thus, the self-determination that the Tibetan people want to achieve will only be an unrealizable wishful thinking.

Abstract

The leadership transition from President Joko Widodo to President Prabowo Subianto marked a change in the style and direction of Indonesia’s foreign policy. These changes are influenced by the domestic interests and personal character of each leader in making various political decisions that are important for Indonesia globally. This difference is essential to analyse, especially in the midst of rising global geopolitical tensions, multipolarity challenges, and pressing national needs. Therefore, this study raises the research question of why Indonesia’s foreign policy orientation at the beginning of President Prabowo Subianto’s administration shifted in approach compared to the era of President Joko Widodo’s administration? To answer the research question, this article utilises Gideon Rose’s Innenpolitik theory, finding that the foreign policies produced by the two leaders were based on domestic configurations, including political and economic ideology, national character, and socio-economic structure. Through a qualitative approach with narrative analysis, this article also finds that personal interpretations formed from background, professional experience, and individual characteristics influence the foreign policy orientation of the two leaders.
