Abstract

This research discusses the Yemen conflict that was originally internal and then transformed into an international conflict due to the externalization process. The author sees that the increasingly complex development of the Yemen conflict was affected by the intervention of external actors in the conflict. This research aims to find out how Yemen's internal conflict transformed into an international conflict using the analytical framework of the Internationalization of Conflict Theory. Therefore, in examining the externalization of Yemen's internal conflict, the author uses the concept of escalation, with qualitative research methods. The research results show that the externalization of Yemen's internal conflict is demonstrated through the involvement of external actors such as Saudi Arabia and its coalition, the United States, Britain, France, Iran, and ISIS. In this case, the escalation of the Yemen conflict occurred because of the geographical proximity between Yemen and several countries such as Saudi Arabia, the similarity of identity or ideology between internal parties and external parties who intervened in the Yemen conflict, as well as the opportunities and interests of foreign parties in the Yemen conflict.     Penelitian ini membahas tentang konflik Yaman yang semula bersifat internal kemudian mengalami transformasi menjadi konflik internasional karena adanya proses eksternalisasi. Penulis melihat perkembangan konflik Yaman yang semakin kompleks sangat dipengaruhi oleh intervensi pihak asing dalam konflik tersebut. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui bagaimana konflik internal Yaman bertransformasi menjadi konflik internasional dengan menggunakan kerangka analisis Internationalization of conflict theory. Oleh karena itu, dalam menelaah eksternalisasi konflik internal Yaman, penulis menggunakan konsep eskalasi, dengan metode penelitian kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Eksternalisasi konflik internal Yaman ditunjukkan melalui keterlibatan aktor eksternal seperti, Arab Saudi dan koalisinya, Amerika Serikat, Inggris, Prancis, Iran, dan ISIS. Dalam hal ini, Eskalasi konflik Yaman terjadi karena adanya kedekatan secara geografis antara Yaman dengan sejumlah negara seperti Arab Saudi, adanya kesamaan identitas maupun ideologi antara pihak internal dengan pihak eksternal yang mengintervensi konflik Yaman, serta adanya peluang dan kepentingan pihak asing dalam konflik Yaman.

Abstract

This research analyzes Brazil's diplomatic strategy for overcoming the problem of deforestation in the Amazon rainforest. The Amazon region is an essential part of the environment, which is a centre of biodiversity and contributes to the environment through carbon absorption. The deforestation problem that occurs in the Amazon region has a significant impact not only on Brazil but also globally. This is what underlies various international criticisms of Brazil, so it needs to be responded to diplomatically. By using qualitative methods and the concept of environmental diplomacy, this research finds that Brazil operates in four main strategies that represent the dynamics of environmental diplomacy practice. The strategy includes a commitment to achieving zero deforestation, holding meetings with Latin American countries to discuss the Amazon crisis, using the summit forum to negotiate with the United States in cooperation to overcome deforestation, and responding to trade demands from European countries that discriminate against Brazilian trade products. This response shows that basically Brazil is committed to realizing environmental preservation. However, there is a contradiction caused by Brazil's condition, which still needs to develop its economy amidst the current crisis. Therefore, the practice of environmental diplomacy is taken to become a momentum in raising awareness of the environment with the policies implemented by Brazil.

Abstract

Amidst the global growth of the Muslim population, the need for products or services that comply with sharia law has become unavoidable. As the country with the largest Muslim population in the world, Indonesia has declared itself to become a major player in the global halal industry. This can be seen from the changes made by Indonesia in the last decade, both in policy and governance aspects to form an effective halal sector ecosystem as planned in the Indonesia Islamic Economic Masterplan 2019-2024. However, amid several policies implemented by the government, the role of non-state actors, including but not limited to large industries, business groups and MSMEs, community organizations or NGOs, and product influencers, increases and mainstreaming the halal industry in Indonesia cannot be ruled out. Based on a study of several literature related to the halal industry in Indonesia, researchers see that most of the research on the halal industry in Indonesia focuses on discussing strategy and the government as well as opportunities and challenges for Indonesia in developing the halal industry. Therefore, the study aims to discuss the role of non-state actors in forming the halal industrial ecosystem in Indonesia.

Abstract

To grasp the idea of international security, it is crucial to clarify the broader notion of security. A full understanding of international security can only be attained once the concept of security is comprehended. The shift in the understanding of security from the traditional approach to a more expansive one has created challenges in defining what security truly entails, resulting in it being considered as an essentially contested concept. Nevertheless, it is important not to use this disagreement as an excuse to avoid providing one's own definition. It is imperative to establish one's own conceptualization of security before delving into any work on security. This study formulates a comprehensive conceptualization of security reinstating the special role of state in security affairs that has been shadowed by the expansionist concept. The paper then applies the framework to conceptualize international security taking into consideration the unique complexities associated with the global context.

Abstract

The Archipelagic and Island States (AIS) Forum is a platform for island nations, regardless of their region, size, or level of development, aimed at addressing global challenges related to the sustainable use of marine resources, climate change resilience, marine pollution, emergency management, and the promotion of sustainable fisheries. Countries use international forums as the main instruments to tackle common issues in global politics. These forums are crucial for dialogue, where delegates meet and communicate through verbal and non-verbal language to express their concerns, share their views, and work towards reaching agreements. Initiated by Indonesia, the forum fosters new discourse among various international actors. This phenomenon raises the research question: How does Indonesia introduce and shape the discourse on marine development, climate change mitigation, and marine pollution management within the AIS Forum? The paper employs a constructivist paradigm to answer this research question, examining how Indonesia brings these issues into the AIS Forum, thereby creating a social construct within it. The research will utilize a qualitative, interpretative approach, employing data triangulation techniques that include interviews, literature reviews, and necessary documents. Consequently, the data sources will be secondary data.   The Archipelagic and Island States (AIS) atau Forum Negara Kepulauan adalah sebuah platform bagi negara-negara kepulauan tanpa memandang wilayah, ukuran dan tingkat pembangunannya yang memiliki inisiasi global untuk mengatasi tantangan penggunanaan sumber daya laut untuk pertumbuhan ekonomi berkelanjutan, ketahanan terhadap perubahan iklim, polusi laut, manajemen darurat dan peningkatan perikanan berkelanjutan. Didalam forum ini terdapat aktor dalam hubungan internasional yang memiliki pengaruh dalam regional maupun internasional di bidang kemaritiman karena terdapat kesepakatan didalam forum tersebut yang di prakarsai oleh Indonesia sehingga memunculkan diskursus baru bagi beberapa aktor dalam hubungan internasional, oleh karena itu dari fenomena ini memunculkan pertanyaan penelitian bahwa bagaimana Indonesia membawa diskursus sektor pembangunan kelautan, mitigasi perubahan iklim dan penanggulangan pencemaran laut di forum AIS.  Untuk menjawab pertanyaan penelitian ini, makalah ini akan menggunakan paradigma kontruktivisme. Teori ini akan melihat bagaimana Indonesia membawa diskursus ini ke dalam forum The Archipelagic and Island States (AIS) sehingga menciptakan kontruksi sosial di dalam forum AIS. Penelitian ini akan menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif yang bersifat interpretatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data triangulasi dengan mengambil data kolaborasi wawancara, studi Pustaka dan juga dokumen yang diperlukan sehingga sumber data yang akan diperoleh ialah data sekunder.

Abstract

This article explores the Ethio-Telecom reform within the context of the Homegrown Economic Reform (HGER) initiated by the Ethiopian government and the imperatives of economic globalization. Its main objective is to analyze the extent to which the Ethio-Telecom reform within the HGER agenda is genuinely homegrown and new by considering internal dynamics and external influences. In order to achieve the intended aims, the article employed a qualitative approach, which includes the analysis of existing work surveys and document examination. To this end, the work has relied primarily on secondary data sources. The article argues that the Ethiopian HGER, with a specific focus on the Ethio-Telecom sector reform, reflects a mix of endogenous factors and external influences, with ongoing debates regarding its authenticity and alignment with domestic priorities. Moving forward, it should balance external support with local perspectives to avoid being perceived as a replication of external models.

Abstract

The major socio-political change in Mongolia was the change of political system from one-party socialist to multi-party democracy in 1990s. The political liberalisation of ideas- the change of economic system, inauguration of the new constitution in 1992 and the first ever free parliamentary elections are the key features of the Mongolia’s Democratic revolution. The importance of researching democratic consolidation in Mongolia can be underscored in several keyways. Firstly, Mongolia serves as an exemplary case of a nation that has transitioned positively towards democracy in a global landscape where democracy often remains an outlier rather than the norm. From the events that Mongolia had to overcome and the knowledge that was gained, there is much to learn on how democratisation processes could be maintained in transitional societies. Qualitative research approach is fitting for this study since it enables the researcher to gain an insight into subjective experiences as well as perceptions of those who are either involved in or affected by a democratic transition in Mongolia. Findings of this research highlights Mongolia's democratisation process both possibilities as well as difficulties involved. Mongolia has done fairly well in terms of institutionalising democracy, but numerous challenges are still persistent which require continuous attention and concerted efforts being made towards addressing them. By introducing strategic reforms, endorsing comprehensive development, fostering transparency culture and nurturing a sense of accountability within state institutions Mongolia can reinforce further consolidation of its democratic gains.

Abstract

Well-regulated education is a powerful weapon for positive social change. Ethiopia formally allowed private actors to join the education industry in 2003. Since then private higher education institutions have grown in number and enrolling capacity. This is a huge success in ensuring access to higher education to support country development through the provision of skilled manpower. However, because of weak regulation, there is a claim that private higher education institutions are working as a degree mill which negatively impacts the quality and relevancy of higher education. Having this in mind, this article examines the effectiveness of government regulation of private higher education institutions during the entry, operation and exit stages. To this end, relevant laws and policies, reports, government decisions, and literature are critically examined sideline with primary data collected through case studies and direct observation of private higher education institutions. As the findings of the study have revealed, despite the positive reform and development underway, the government regulation of private higher education institutions is ineffective and because of this, education which is recognized as a means of ruining social problems is ruined by bogus institutions and degrees. Mainly this problem is associated not with normative gaps; rather it is a result of weak enforcement as a result of the institutional weakness of relevant authority to efficiently undertake its mandate of licensing, accrediting, supervising, monitoring, and auditing. Besides, the government lacks a firm stand and strong commitment to take deterring measures against bogus institutions and graduates holding fake degrees. Based on the findings, the researcher called for strict enforcement of laws by strengthening the Authority with manpower and finance and adopting a holistic approach to fighting for the quality and relevancy of higher education.
