Abstract

China’s engagement with Afghanistan entered a new phase after the Taliban returned to power in 2021, prompting Beijing to recalibrate its westward geoeconomic strategy. This article examines how China seeks to advance regional economic integration during the Taliban period (2021–2025) through a combination of geoeconomic instruments, security–development logic, and corridor-based connectivity. Using qualitative analysis supported by secondary data, the study evaluates China’s post-2021 diplomatic initiatives, including trilateral mechanisms with Pakistan, exploratory infrastructure cooperation, and renewed interest in extending the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and assessing the feasibility of the Wakhan Corridor. Findings show that the Taliban’s diplomatic shift from isolation in the 1990s to pragmatic engagement today, creates new opportunities for China’s integration agenda, particularly as the group publicly supports regional connectivity and foreign investment. However, significant structural constraints persist, including fragmented governance, militant threats, contractual instability such as the collapse of the CAPEIC oil deal, and competing regional interests. The article concludes that while China views Afghanistan as a strategic land bridge linking South and Central Asia, the realisation of corridor-based integration remains limited by Afghanistan’s institutional and security environment.

Abstract

The paper draws on Amitav Acharya’s theoretical frameworks of norm localization and security communities to examine the Thailand-Cambodia conflict over the Preah Vihear Temple, one of the most enduring international relations cases in Southeast Asia. The research will fill an important gap in the scientific literature by discussing how the constructivist ideas of Acharya shed light on the process of regional norm adaptation, identity formation, and the complications that arise when the (ASEAN) is forced to deal with an intra-mural territorial conflict as a fledgling security community. The study was based on using a qualitative case study approach with a secondary source analysis of the International Court of Justice proceedings, diplomatic archives, scholarly literature, and media archives to prove that local actors in both Thailand and Cambodia actively localized international norms of sovereignty, territorial integrity, and peaceful dispute settlement in a manner that both facilitated and hindered resolving conflicts. As the results demonstrate, the Preah Vihear conflict revealed underlying tensions within the ASEAN normative structure, especially between the principle of non-interference and the organization’s goal of becoming a mature security community. The article also examines the significant roles of the ASEAN chairmanship of Malaysia under Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and of United States President Donald Trump in mediating the crisis in 2025, focusing on the Kuala Lumpur Peace Accord, its failure, and the future of peaceful relations. The article leads to the study of International Relations by showing how Acharya’s framework can provide analytical resources for understanding norm-conflict in the Global South, while also criticizing Eurocentric approaches to norm diffusion and elucidating the role of peripheral actors in the formation of regional order.

Abstract

The shift of digital space from freedom to political control signals a new form of digital authoritarianism in Indonesia. The state uses online surveillance, information restrictions, disinformation, and activist criminalization to strengthen its power, coinciding with the decline of digital democracy in Southeast Asia. In contrast, hashtag-based resistance such as #ReformasiDikorupsi, #TolakOmnibusLaw, #IndonesiaGelap, and #ResetIndonesia has emerged, operating through connective action—horizontal mobilization based on personal networks and affective solidarity. This study employs descriptive qualitative methods, collecting data via library research and online observation during the #ResetIndonesia movement. Analyzed data included academic literature, international research reports, and credible media on digital surveillance and online social movements. The results show that connective action expands political participation by enabling digital creativity and spontaneous solidarity, but faces vulnerabilities due to the lack of formal organizations. Meanwhile, the state adapts repression through algorithms and regulations that normalize control. The dialectic of control and resistance forms a cycle—control, resistance, adaptation, new repression—that illustrates the co-evolution of power and digital activism. These findings stress the need to strengthen movement structures and protect digital rights to ensure online resistance evolves into a sustainable democratic force

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of Indonesian parliamentary diplomacy through the Indonesian House of Representatives' Special Committee on Foreign Affairs (BKSAP) in advocating for the Palestinian issue during the 2023–2024 period, especially after the escalation of violence in Gaza following October 7, 2023. Using qualitative methods with a document study approach, interviews, and analysis of BKSAP activities in multilateral and bilateral forums, this study examines Indonesia's strategies in the IPU, APA, and PUIC, as well as bilateral coordination through the Indonesia–Palestine GKSB. The results show that BKSAP played a strategic role by pushing for an emergency item at the IPU, forming the APA Committee on Palestine, and leading strong advocacy at the PUIC until it was elected as the 19th President of the PUIC. At the bilateral level, BKSAP strengthened communication with the PLO/PNC and developed humanitarian cooperation. These findings confirm that Indonesian parliamentary diplomacy has evolved from a symbolic role to become a substantive, flexible, and influential advocacy actor in international humanitarian issues.

Abstract

The return of the Taliban in August 2021 has positioned Afghanistan at the center of debates on how the international community engages with a governing authority grounded in Islamic principles under conditions of contested legitimacy. This study aims to examine how Islamic governance operates as a foreign policy identity that shapes signaling dynamics, recognition practices, and patterns of international engagement. The paper employs a qualitative conceptual approach by integrating insights from norm contestation, identity-based signaling, and recognition-as-practice, using post-2021 Afghanistan as an analytical reference point. The findings show that Islamic governance generates distinct signaling processes that influence how external actors interpret and respond to political authority, leading to engagement through layered practices such as humanitarian coordination, diplomatic interaction, and security cooperation despite the absence of formal recognition. These interactions produce calibrated forms of engagement that balance normative concerns with practical necessity. The study concludes that governance identity plays a central role in structuring international engagement and provides a framework for understanding how interaction unfolds in a plural and contested global order.
