Abstract

Poland hosts the most Ukrainian refugees as a result of Russian-Ukraine war. This reception clearly contradicts its closed-door policy, especially refugees from Africa and the Middle East. This article seeks to explain this contradiction. Using qualitative method by examining secondary sources, result shows that there are significant differences in Polish refuge policy concerning the recent Russo-Ukrainian War and the previous European refugee crises. Those differences are mainly driven by domestic and international politics. In the domestic realm, the rejection of refugees from the Middle East and North Africa is closely linked to the public negative sentiment and the rise of conservative political groups against those groups. In contrast, there is a large support of Polish political elements and public solidarity for Ukrainian refugees. Meanwhile, in the international realm, Poland’s activeness in accepting a significant number of Ukrainian refugees can be understood as a manifestation of Polish concern and resistance to the aggressiveness of Russian expansionism.   KEYWORDS Political Dynamic; Poland; Refugee; Ukraine

Abstract

The development of international cooperation has undergone dynamic evolution, with active involvement from local governments that extends beyond the central government's authority. For this purpose, paradiplomacy has been widely applied by local governments in Indonesia. However, several, including the Province of Banten, have not fully optimized its implementation. Despite having significant potential for participating in international cooperation, the execution of paradiplomacy in Banten has not yet reached the expected level. This research aims to explain the implementation of paradiplomacy in the Province of Banten and to identify the factors influencing its ineffectiveness. The research applies a qualitative descriptive approach and uses case studies and document analysis to gain an in-depth understanding of paradiplomacy implementation. Data collection involves library research and field observations. The research finds that two factors contribute to the ineffectiveness of paradiplomacy in Banten, including legal ambiguities in the regulations governing paradiplomacy and the absence of a multi-level paradiplomacy system in Banten. Revitalizing these factors can enhance the effectiveness of Banten’s paradiplomacy. KEYWORDS Paradiplomacy; Soft Power; Sub-state governments

Abstract

Protectionism is not a new economic policy for Indonesia. This policy has been taken since Sukarno’s era. Even though the liberal approach was rising after the 1997 crisis, the return to protectionist policy was still visible in the Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono’s era, and further advanced by Joko Widodo. This article focuses on analysing the rising protectionist policy in Indonesia’s economy since the Yudhoyono era. It employs a qualitative approach by utilizing related secondary data. It shows that the Indonesian protectionism taken by the government was influenced by domestic, regional, and global conditions. This protective measure was taken to make sure that the domestic industry could cover the demand in the domestic market within a more liberalized global market. In doing this, various approaches have been developed including, incentives for domestic companies and declaring content requirements for the products sold in the domestic market. This research will help to understand better on the nature of Indonesia’s economic policy, mapping economic opportunities that could be maximized by the government, and how it then affects international economic actors’ strategy on entering the market.

Abstract

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has adversely affected global stability and triggered crises. Indonesia took the initiative to facilitate the peace mission. This study aims to analyze the concept and application of soft power strategies in Indonesia’s diplomacy related to the peace mission in the Russia-Ukraine Conflict. A qualitative explanatory method is used to explain the reasons underlying this move. Data collection was conducted through a literature study, while data analysis used a qualitative approach. Soft Power Theory was used as a theoretical framework to understand how Indonesia uses its power of attraction in diplomacy, while the First Track Diplomacy Concept became the foundation to understand the government’s direct role in resolving conflicts. The results showed that Indonesia used the first line diplomacy instrument as part of its peace mission in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. This is realized through the use of dialogue, negotiation, and cooperation efforts made by both countries. This is in line with Indonesia’s Soft Power goals which seek to improve security in the external environment through the projection of an image as a peaceful and attractive country.  KEYWORDS Conflict; Indonesian Diplomacy; Russia-Ukraine; Soft Power

Abstract

This article aims to find answers to why two countries, despite sharing a high degree of similarity, may exhibit contrasting responses to a particular phenomenon. The Philippines and Indonesia share numerous similarities, encompassing geographical location, form of states, ideology, security, and economic conditions. Nevertheless, their reactions diverged when the AUKUS Defense Pact, aimed at bolstering security and stability in the Indo-Pacific, was established. Indonesia voiced concerns that the formation of the pact would potentially lead to an arms race in the region. Conversely, the Philippines responded positively by issuing verbal support for the establishment of AUKUS. Through the application of the most similar system design comparison method and Donald E Nuechterlein’s concept of National Interest analysis, this article concludes that the Philippines and Indonesia adopt distinct approaches and harbor different interests in the preservation of regional stability. Indonesia has interest in prioritizing the principle of ASEAN centrality through the application of the ASEAN Outlook on Indo-Pacific. On the other hand, the Philippines considers it crucial to involve their traditional defense partners, the United States and Australia, in upholding regional security.

Abstract

In June 2023, Thailand took a unilateral move to engage with Myanmar’s junta government, surprising ASEAN. It occurred in the midst of the lack of progress that ASEAN has made in addressing the Myanmar crisis, which directly affects Thailand as Myanmar’s closest neighbor. Although Thailand’s move did not worsen the situation, other ASEAN countries criticised it as going against ASEAN’s stance on the crisis. This article argues that Thailand’s decision was largely driven by concerns about its own national security. In terms of the research method, this article employs a qualitative approach. In particular, national security concepts and rational choice theory are employed to build the analysis. Using secondary data, this study shows how the Myanmar crisis impacts Thailand’s security, such as refugee inflows and airspace violations. ASEAN’s lack of progress, Thailand’s experience in engaging with Myanmar, and the presence of a precedent by Cambodia can also be seen as some of the driving forces behind its eventual move.

Abstract

The Pacific region has become a major focus of international attention following indications of increasing Chinese military involvement in the past decade. This involvement has raised significant concerns, especially for countries in the region, including Australia. As one of the regional powers and traditional actors in the Pacific, Australia faces complex national defense and security policy challenges as a result of Chinese military involvement in the region. Using a qualitative approach with desk study analysis, this paper attempts to explain the implications of Chinese military involvement in the Pacific region for Australia's national defense and security policy through the framework of security dilemma analysis and strategic perspectives in foreign policy making. This paper finds that China's military presence in the Pacific region affects defense strategy and poses new security challenges for Australia, including increasing security pressures and changes in Australia's defense strategy. In response, Australia has taken proactive steps by strengthening cooperation with regional allies, enhancing defense capabilities and strengthening security diplomacy in the Pacific region as a form of transformation of its defense policy.

Abstract

Abraham Accord, which took place in December 2020, marks a dramatic shift in the Middle East and North Africa region. Several Arab states, such as Morocco, the UAE, Bahrain, and Sudan, got involved in the pacification process to establish diplomatic relations with Israel. America supported this accord as the ally of Israel in the region. This is because the Arab states that got involved in the accord persistently resisted Israel and supported Palestine to be free. One of the countries that is involved is Morocco. Located in the Northern-Western part of Africa, Morocco faces many external and internal challenges. This, in fact, puts Morocco's position in constant danger. Not confined to problems related to water scarcity, climate change, and underdeveloped agricultural sectors, Morocco also faces the growing threat of Algeria. In addition, Morocco's relations with France also deteriorate due to the scandals of using espionage software. This, in turn, left Morocco with the difficult decision which led to its eventual participation in the accord. In the paper, I analyze why Morocco normalized its diplomatic relations with Israel using the defensive-realist arguments provided by Mearsheimer. Mearsheimer argues that countries utilize power for the sake of their survival. Hence, I hold a view that Morocco's participation in the accord is to neutralize the threats it is facing for the sake of its survival. This paper uses the qualitative method. Keywords: Abraham Accord, Morocco, Defensive-Realism, Dramatic Shift, Diplomatic Relations

Abstract

This research discusses the strategies of the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia in Manila, the Philippines, in increasing Indonesian trade to the Philippines in 2022. The movement of Indonesian trade to the Philippines has experienced fluctuation from 2018 to 2021. In 2022, there was a significant increase after the pandemic considering the trade stagnation in 2018-2019 in a stable international condition. This research using descriptive-qualitative research method, found that strategy of the Indonesian Embassy in Manila to enhance trade through trade promotion, business matching, business forums, and export cooperation facilitation was planned using a SWOT analysis. This analysis shows that trade promotion and business forums leverage the strengths of diplomatic networks and market expansion opportunities, while business matching and export facilitation are optimized to address weaknesses such as bureaucracy and cultural differences. Threats from global economic instability and market competition are identified to ensure the right strategies are implemented to achieve trade objectives in 2022. In 2022, the Indonesian Embassy in Manila successfully increased Indonesian trade to the Philippines by 50%, up by 4.18% from 2021, through the successful implementation of economic diplomacy strategies in the trade sector.
