Abstract

The ongoing strategic competition between China and the United States raises concerns about potential conflicts in the Indo-Pacific. However, achieving long-term stability in the region through cooperative security frameworks is essential. The realization of a peaceful region that fosters mutually beneficial cooperation is a non-negotiable goal in positive international relations. This article explores the possibility of achieving this in the Indo-Pacific from an International Relations perspective, particularly through the concepts of collective security, arms control, and confidence-building measures (CBMs). It argues that implementing these three concepts will lead to sustainable peace (perpetual peace), ultimately making the region a platform for mutually beneficial cooperation. A qualitative method is employed in this study, with data emanating from relevant literature and authoritative sources. While challenges such as military competition and geopolitical tensions persist, shared commitment to multilateral mechanisms can mitigate risks. The key factor in achieving this goal is a shared commitment to maintaining the process.  KEYWORDS Collective Security; Confidence-Building Measures; Indo-Pacific; Regional Peace

Abstract

Indonesia has been establishing Special Economic Zones (SEZs) across the country, with the Sorong SEZ being one of them. The Sorong SEZ is expected to become the first new center of economic growth in the Papua region. Several potential sectors include agriculture, fisheries, forestry, tourism, creative industries, and other natural resource utilization. This article aims to examine the effectiveness of the Sorong SEZ and to explore its implications for Indonesia and the wider region. It argues that the establishment of the Sorong SEZ is not only effective due to support from both regional and central governments but also offers significant geoeconomic and geostrategic benefits. In terms of geoeconomic advantages, the Sorong SEZ not only fosters regional economic development in eastern Indonesia and serves as a center for natural resource processing in Papua, but also functions as a gateway for trade in the Asia-Pacific region. From a geostrategic perspective, it strengthens Indonesia's sovereignty and cross-border economic diplomacy with Papua New Guinea and is expected to attract increased foreign investment, particularly China, due to its strategic location bridging Asia and Pacific.

Abstract

Challenges to bring perpetual peace in Papua remain prevalent. These challenges include overcoming social and economic inequality and incompatibility, reducing the level and intensity of destructive behaviors and actions, and strengthening shared institutions to manage potential and actual violent conflicts. The Special Autonomy Law for Papua in 2001 and 2021 are of great opportunities for having the challenges non-violently managed. These legal instruments are both theoretically and normatively perceived to be effective and fruitful mechanisms in order to transform the conflict and bring peace and development to Papua. With that in mind, the article aims to present the benefits and challenges of special autonomy law implementation in Papua. By mainly relying on secondary data, this research argues that the Special Autonomy Law for Papua and the formation of New Autonomous Regions have positive impacts on social and economic development and offer more opportunities for Papuans to be involved in policy-making processes. However, at the same time, these efforts have produced insignificant results in ending violent conflict in Papua. KEYWORDSConflict Transformation; New Autonomous Regions; Special Autonomy

Abstract

This study examines the interpretation of the Melanesian Way in leadership and its role in conflict resolution within Melanesian communities. It aims to analyse how traditional leadership values, particularly the “Big Man” leadership model, contribute to social cohesion and dispute settlement. A literature review and narrative analysis were used to interpret the socio-political significance of Melanesian leadership structures. It argues that although the Melanesian Way refers to a complex system reflecting values and norms developed over thousands of years, it remains relevant today. The findings indicate that Melanesian leadership is deeply influenced by Christian values, shaping conflict resolution strategies that emphasize consensus, charisma, and social harmony. This research contributes to the broader understanding of indigenous governance by demonstrating how traditional leadership systems remain relevant in contemporary conflict management. By highlighting the effectiveness of culturally embedded governance mechanisms, this study offers insights into alternative models of conflict resolution beyond state-centric approaches.

Abstract

The Indo-Pacific is a strategic area and a stage for competition among major powers. The region’s vast potential, connecting two oceans and continents, serves as a highly strategic maritime trade route. This article aims to analyse the extent to which Indonesia’s maritime diplomacy contributes to maintaining security in the Indo-Pacific region. The research adopted a qualitative method with an analytical-descriptive approach. Data collection techniques involved literature studies, while data analysis techniques included data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The theoretical framework employed consisted of maritime diplomacy and middle power concepts. The research argues that Indonesia, as a middle power, has utilized the Global Maritime Fulcrum vision as a persuasive diplomatic tool to enhance its influence and contribute to maintaining security in the region. However, the Global Maritime Fulcrum as a model of persuasive maritime diplomacy has been gradually abandoned, shifting towards cooperative maritime diplomacy. Indonesia adopted a more cooperative approach in responding to issues and security dynamics in the region. KEYWORDSGlobal Maritime Fulcrum; Indo-Pacific; Maritime Diplomacy; Middle Power; Security

Abstract

This study examines four decades of Papuan diaspora efforts to campaign for Papuan independence in the Pacific region. It analyzes campaigns beginning in the 1980s with figures such as John Otto Ondawame and Andy Ayamiseba, later continued by leaders like Benny Wenda. Through a historical approach, the research investigates how these pro-independence campaigns spotlight the controversial cession of Papua to Indonesia in 1969, subsequent political violence, human rights violations, and the role of Melanesian solidarity. The study argues that the Papuan diaspora has been instrumental in internationalizing the Papuan issue and rallying support from a wide range of actors, including state officials, traditional leaders, and civil society groups. Findings reveal that, despite inconsistent backing from state actors, the sustained diaspora campaign has significantly raised regional and global awareness of Papuan independence. This research fills a gap in literature by highlighting the impact of diaspora activism on the Papuan independence process.

Abstract

On October 26, 2023, United Nations member states cast their votes to adopt a resolution to place an immediate cease-fire between Israel forces and Hamas militants. This call was taken considering that the conflict between the two has caused a significant number of fatalities and has impacted all aspects of life in the Gaza region. Of the 175 countries that voted then, 120 UN member states approved the draft resolution, 45 members abstained, and 14 others were against it. Six of the countries that rejected the resolution were South Pacific countries: Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Micronesia, Nauru, Tonga, and the Marshall Islands. This stance was interesting, considering that one of the rhetorics raised in the concept of the Melanesian Way is anti colonialism. The purpose of this article is to analyze the position of the South Pacific countries in viewing in Gaza based on their UN General Assembly voting behaviors. This paper argues that the position of South Pacific countries regarding the conflict in Gaza is not only influenced by their relations with the United States and Israel but also by the influence of religion in their foreign policymaking.
