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.

Abstract

This article aims to discuss the Indonesian government’s efforts to establish international cooperation in the education sector, with a particular focus on United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). It particularly examines how UNICEF can contribute to addressing literacy challenges in Merauke District, Papua—one of the areas where students exhibit low reading and writing skills in the early years of primary education. From an international relations perspective, it highlights how education diplomacy can strengthen local capabilities through global cooperation, exemplified by UNICEF’s Early Grade Literacy Program. Drawing on interviews and program report analysis, this study revealed a significant reduction in non-readers, from almost half to less than a quarter, while the number of students who could read and comprehend texts fluently almost doubled. Creative engagement, like the use of songs, teaching aids, and parent education campaigns, proved the effectiveness of international cooperation at a local scale. These findings not only support the inclusive education targets in the SDGs but also reinforce the strategic role of education diplomacy in addressing disparities in marginalized areas.  KEYWORDS Education; Indonesia; International Cooperation; Papua; UNICEF

Abstract

This article examines the dynamics of non-state diplomacy practiced by subaltern communities in postcolonial contexts. Using a comparative study of Papua, Catalonia, and Kurdistan, it explores how these communities leverage diaspora networks and digital diplomacy to gain international support, resist state hegemony, and challenge the global order that disproportionately favors state sovereignty. Employing a postcolonial framework, the article analyzes how subaltern groups use social media, transnational forums, and diaspora networks to create symbolic resistance and push back against dominant political narratives. The study is based on secondary data, including reports from international organizations, media publications, and digital activity analyses. The article argues that while subaltern diplomatic strategies have gained effectiveness, especially through the use of social media and the mobilization of diasporas, substantial obstacles remain in achieving wider international recognition. These challenges largely stem from the entrenched dominance of powerful states and an international system that prioritizes state sovereignty over subaltern claims.

Abstract

This study examines Spain’s gender-responsive migration policy as a foreign policy tool between 2020 and 2024, with a focus on the Mediterranean region. Using qualitative methods, VOS viewer analysis, and the frameworks of foreign policy analysis, image theory, and soft power, the research analyses how Spain embeds feminist and human rights values into migration governance to enhance its international image and normative legitimacy. Findings show that Spain increasingly employs migration policy not only to regulate cross-border mobility but also to project itself as a democratic and progressive actor, thereby strengthening its soft power and role as a normative leader in Global North-South relations. Nonetheless, the study identifies a gap between symbolic commitments and practical implementation, hindered by institutional fragmentation, weak gender-sensitive infrastructure, and rising domestic resistance. Despite these obstacles, Spain’s gender-responsive migration diplomacy illustrates a significant model for ethical diplomacy, nation branding, and feminist foreign policy in a contested global order.

Abstract

Papua New Guinea (PNG) has undertaken several steps in order to become a member within ASEAN. However, its bid for membership remains highly contested. This article looks at the reasons why PNG’s admission to ASEAN is unlikely to be approved. Using a qualitative approach with secondary sources and constructivism as a theoretical framework, this article makes the case that, although institutionally and procedurally possible, ASEAN membership is influenced not only by geopolitical and economic (realist and materialist) factors but also by (constructivist) social and normative constructions of belonging. As a result, constructivism becomes the main lens for this article. PNG’s application for membership is therefore unlikely to be accepted in the foreseeable future. An outcome of exclusion may have broader implications. This article will demonstrate that 1) PNG is not located inside the socially constructed regional geographic limits of “Southeast Asia” as defined by ASEAN. 2) PNG’s racialised and culturally unique nature—as a primarily Melanesian culture; and 3) PNG’s foreign policy orientation, which prioritizes their interests over ASEAN’s, is still ingrained in Melanesian and Pacific regional institutions.   KEYWORDS ASEAN; Constructivist; Membership; Pacific; Papua New Guinea
