Abstract

This paper seeks to explain the role of regional actorness in complex negotiations by analyzing ASEAN and the EU’s attempt at creating a region-to-region free trade agreement. In 2007, ASEAN and EU initiated a region-to-region negotiation in the hope of creating one of the largest trading blocs in the world. However, until the end of 2023, or after 16 years of negotiation, not much progress can be observed. While there are several explanations for this, including the competing interest between major powers and the failure to manage diversity, this article argues that one core element for the slow progress is the differing levels of actorness—loosely defined as actors’ internal capability and external acceptance between ASEAN and the EU. The methodology used in this article is through a literature review. The literature itself consists of articles journals, books, websites, documents, and conference papers. Throughout the negotiation, ASEAN tends to display a lower degree of actorness, which leads to challenges in undertaking decisions and building a coherent front to external actors compared to the EU. Another crucial factor is the nature of the negotiation, which creates a multilayered problem for both actors. Thus, while there are several hindrances during the negotiations, the inherent difference in actorness between the two remains to be a challenge.      KEYWORDS Actorness; Complex Negotiations Interregionalism; ASEAN; European Union

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

The ethnic Kurds play a critical role in the formation of the Democratic Confederalism government in the autonomous region of Rojava. For decades, they have faced oppression and disenfranchisement in Turkey, Syria, Iran, and Iraq. However, the present article focuses on the Kurds of Syria, given that the formation of the current autonomous government of Rojava is in an area that used to be territorially under the authority of Syria. This article aims to explain the revolutionary movement of the Kurds and the conflicts they experienced until encountering the concept of democratic confederalism. Using a qualitative method, this article argues that the Kurdish ethnic revolutionary movement is an ideological movement that utilizes the concept of democratic confederalism as a response to systemic oppression by the state. The concept is derived from Abdullah Ocalan’s anarchist ideology, inspired by Murray Bookchin. It promotes inclusivity and diversity in governance and adopted as a model of governance in Rojava which allows the active participation of various religious, ethnic, and minority groups in political, economic, democratic, and governmental processes.  KEYWORDS  Ethnic Kurds;  Democratic  Confederalism;  Revolutionary Movement; Rojava

Abstract

Saudi Arabia is striving to reduce its dependence on state revenue derived from oil. In this effort, Saudi Arabia formulated Vision 2030, which serves as the framework for their economic reforms. This research aims to elaborate on Saudi Arabia's public diplomacy efforts to introduce their economic transformation plan. To obtain accurate answers, this research employs public diplomacy theory using a qualitative descriptive method along with secondary data sources. The research findings indicate that Saudi Arabia conducts public diplomacy in three ways. First, the management of news related to Vision 2030 is carried out by an agency called the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), which is owned by the Saudi government. Second, creating an official website and social media for Vision 2030 that contains comprehensive information related to Vision 2030 so that it can be accessed by the general public. Then, Saudi Arabia will also host the Great Future Initiative Campaign, which will begin in May 2024 and is planned to last for 12 months, with the main goal of fostering a strong partnership between Saudi Arabia and the UK in the fields of economy and development, as well as potential sectors. Third, Saudi Arabia is building good relationships with important and influential actors, in this case, the top European players who have moved to the Saudi Pro League. Players like Cristiano Ronaldo are a major attraction that helps promote Saudi Arabia in general, as well as several tourism projects being undertaken by Saudi Arabia as part of Vision 2030.

Abstract

Ireland’s long-standing position as one of EU’s most vocal members of Palestinian rights and statehood took a huge leap when it decided to recognize the state of Palestine on May 2024. However, Ireland is far from being considered an enemy of Israel, as both countries share diplomatic and economic ties for decades. Despite economic threats from Israel and limited support in Europe, Ireland firmly stood by its decision along with Norway and Spain. To understand this decision, Charles W. Kegley & Shannon L. Blanton has laid out a useful framework to analyse inputs contributing to a transnational actor’s foreign policy, which are: global conditions, its internal characteristics, and actor leadership. Using this framework, this article argues that leadership, particularly by Simon Harris and his party, Fine Gael was the key driver, grounded in past policy, diplomatic coordination, and the context of the 2024 early elections. This study concludes that several inputs contribute to this decision, namely; a global uproar against Israel’s military aggression in Gaza post October 7th, an ever-strong pro-Palestine tide in the Irish public, its small-state characteristics, and Simon Harris’ recent ascension to power.

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.
