Abstract

This article examines how political economy factors, particularly state-business relations and political context that shape electric vehicle (EV) industrial policy in ASEAN. Using a comparative political economy approach, it analyzes Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam through four dimensions: policy process, state motivations, capability formation, and enforcement of government support. The study finds that variations in coordination mechanisms and bargaining structures between governments and firms explain divergent policy mixes and industrial upgrading trajectories despite similar policy goals. Thailand demonstrates institutionalized coordination with enforceable conditionality that supports supplier upgrading; Indonesia adopts executive-led downstreaming with state-owned enterprise brokerage and evolving local content requirements; while Vietnam employs a decree-driven, champion-led model focused on scaling production but with limited supplier inclusion. The article contributes to the literature by showing that effective industrial upgrading depends on where coordination authority is located and how credible and enforceable policy conditionality is, rather than on incentives alone.

Abstract

This study aims to examine how cybersecurity vulnerabilities at the bilateral border between Indonesia and Papua New Guinea (PNG) create risks of diplomatic crises through institutional gaps and asymmetric threat perceptions. By adopting a qualitative research approach, and drawing on securitization theory and constructivism in IR, this article reveals four key findings. First, Indonesia and PNG lack formal bilateral agreements on cyber incident response and attribution procedures. Second, asymmetric securitization exists whereby Indonesia over-securitizes cyber threats while PNG under-securitizes them, creating misaligned threat perceptions. Third, the absence of shared norms prevents a coordinated bilateral response. Fourth, historical trust deficits facilitate rapid escalation from technical incidents to diplomatic crises. Theoretically, these findings demonstrate how securitization asymmetry operates at the bilateral level, and practically, they identify mechanisms for preventing cyber incidents from disrupting diplomatic stability in the Indo-Pacific.   KEYWORDS Border; Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities; Indonesia; Papua New Guinea; Securitization Asymmetry

Abstract

This study examines Indonesia’s diplomatic strategy in the Ambalat maritime dispute with Malaysia under the post-2024 Prabowo administration. Using Postcolonial International Relations theory and Le Mière’s Cooperative Maritime Diplomacy framework, it analyzes how colonial legacies are reframed as strategic resources. Through critical discourse analysis of speeches, bilateral statements, and ASEAN engagements (October 2024–2025), the study identifies three dimensions. First, the narrative dimension repositions Malaysia as a shared inheritor of colonial borders rather than an adversary. Second, the practical dimension institutionalizes this narrative through joint development mechanisms separating resource management from sovereignty disputes. Third, the institutional dimension expands this approach into ASEAN maritime governance discourse. The study argues that postcolonial identity operates as active diplomatic agency, conceptualized as postcolonial maritime diplomacy.

Abstract

This study examines how cultural interaction along the Jayapura–Vanimo frontier shapes cross-border identity and produces cultural hybridity. Using a qualitative, literature-based design, the research integrates border process theory, hybridity theory and Melanesian relational perspectives to interpret how everyday practices contribute to identity formation in this borderland. The analysis finds that mobility, reciprocal exchange, ritual participation, and kinship obligations create a relational environment that operates independently of the political boundary, demonstrating that identity is sustained through ongoing social interaction rather than administrative categorization. The study also finds that hybridity forms an organized configuration comprising ritual reciprocity, institutional blending, and expressive practices that enable residents to navigate both customary and state systems. This research contributes by demonstrating that relational obligation functions as the key mechanism linking cross border interaction in the Melanesian context to the resilience of hybrid identity, clarifying why cultural ties endure even in the face of policy shifts or mobility constraints.

Abstract

Technology diplomacy has emerged as a strategic instrument for developing countries seeking to enhance their bargaining position vis-à-vis global technology firms. This article examines the negotiation dynamics between the Indonesian government and Apple Inc. concerning the implementation of a 40% Domestic Component Level (TKDN) requirement during the 2020-2024 period. Based on the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Bargaining Model and a critical political economy approach, this study analyzes government policy documents, official corporate statements, and national and international media reports to trace the bargaining process and its outcomes. The findings reveal that having formal regulatory authority did not necessarily provide Indonesia with effective leverage in negotiations. Despite Indonesia’s large market size and formal control over local content certification, structural constraints in industrial capacity, supply chain integration, and institutional coordination limited the credibility of regulatory pressure.

Abstract

Despite being hailed as a post-conflict success story following the 1992 Rome General Peace Accords, Mozambique has relapsed into recurring cycles of violence, including the recent insurgency in Cabo Delgado. This study investigated the fragility of this peace construction by analyzing the structural causes of conflict through the lens of John Burton’s Need-Based Conflict Theory (1991). Adopting a Systematic Literature Analysis (SLA) based on PRISMA guidelines, the research synthesizes findings from ten key academic articles published between 2020–2025. The analysis reveals that post-war stability was merely a negative peace characterized by elite settlements that failed to address non-negotiable human needs. Specifically, the findings highlight critical deficits in four dimensions, distributive justice due to elite resource capture; identity suppressed by hegemonic national narratives; security biased toward strategic assets over human safety; and recognition denied to victims and marginalized groups. The study concludes that sustainable peace in Mozambique requires a paradigm shift from managerial conflict settlement to structural conflict resolution that satisfies these fundamental ontological needs, particularly regarding economic fairness and cultural inclusion.

Abstract

This article examines how the tension between Melanesian solidarity and state sovereignty shapes the Melanesian Spearhead Group’s (MSG) diplomacy on the Papua issue. Drawing on a qualitative research design, the analysis is based on interpretive document analysis of MSG leaders’ communiqués, ministerial statements, and official declarations issued between 2010 and 2022. The study is informed by constructivism and norm contestation theory to assess how competing norms are articulated and managed in regional practice. It offers a novel contribution to International Relations by reconceptualizing the Papua issue in MSG diplomacy not as a problem to be resolved, but as a condition sustained through ongoing norm contestation. The findings reveal that Melanesian solidarity legitimizes regional attention while state sovereignty constrains collective action, producing a dynamic interplay rather than convergence. By demonstrating that ambiguity, selective activation, and discursive balancing function as stabilizing mechanisms, this article challenges conventional assumptions that unresolved issues reflect institutional weakness and instead shows how they can sustain regional cohesion.   KEYWORDS Melanesian Spearhead Group; Diplomacy; Norm Contestation; Papua; Sovereignty.
