Abstract

Tourism has emerged as a strategic instrument of diplomacy, facilitating mutual understanding between nations through cultural, historical, and architectural appeal. The bilateral relationship between Indonesia and Vietnam, established since 1955 and strengthened through a tourism cooperation agreement in 1994, provides the foundation for Indonesia’s public diplomacy efforts in promoting tourism to Vietnamese audiences. The COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted global tourism, with a notable decline in Vietnamese visitors to Indonesia in 2020–2021. This research examines how Indonesia leveraged public diplomacy, nation branding, and multi-track diplomacy to revitalize tourist arrivals from Vietnam during 2019–2023. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative method based on document analysis and official statistical data, the study finds that Indonesia’s tourism diplomacy, especially through familiarization trips, international expos, and bilateral engagements, contributed to the gradual recovery of Vietnamese tourist arrivals despite pandemic-related challenges. The findings highlight the effectiveness of adaptive diplomatic strategies in enhancing Indonesia’s tourism sector resilience and fostering closer regional ties.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of Japan's Free and Open Indo-Pacific (FOIP) policy on Indonesia’s maritime security. The research adopts a qualitative descriptive method, utilizing document-based analysis through literature review of official records, academic journals, books, and reports from international organizations. The theoretical framework draws on liberalism in international cooperation and world-systems theory to understand maritime security dynamics in the Indo-Pacific region. The findings indicate that Japan’s implementation of FOIP through defense cooperation, maritime security training, patrol vessel assistance, and multilateral diplomacy has significantly enhanced Indonesia’s maritime surveillance, law enforcement capabilities, and protection of major sea lines of communication. Moreover, FOIP strengthens the observance of international maritime law and supports Indonesia’s position in addressing non-traditional security threats. Thus, FOIP has positively contributed to Indonesia’s maritime security through strategic bilateral and regional collaboration.

Abstract

This research aims to analyse the role of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) in running the peacekeeping operation program to maintain security stability in the Central African Republic after the ceasefire 2019-2023. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method with a literature study approach that collects data from various sources such as books, journals, articles, and official reports and websites. In this research, the concepts of Role and Peacekeeping as well as the theory of the Role of International Organisations and Conflict Resolution are used as an analytical framework. The results show that MINUSCA has three main tasks in maintaining security stability in the Central African Republic, namely Protection of Civilians, Support to Political Transition, and Restoration of State Authority. Despite challenges such as violations of the peace agreement by rebel groups, limited resources, and resistance to the presence of peacekeepers, MINUSCA still plays a key role in protecting civilians, overseeing the political process, and supporting security sector reform in the country.

Abstract

This study analyzes the underlying factors that shaped the formation of digital economic cooperation between Indonesia and China during the period of 2022–2023, within the broader context of global digital transformation and evolving bilateral relations. Amid the rise of China as a digital power and Indonesia’s strategic efforts to modernize its economic infrastructure, digital cooperation has emerged as a pivotal component of both countries' foreign policy and economic agendas. The research adopts a qualitative explanatory method, using literature studies and documentary analysis to trace causal linkages between domestic drivers, foreign policy orientations, and structural factors in international cooperation. The theoretical framework integrates the concept of national interest, international cooperation theory, and digital economy strategy. Findings reveal that the convergence of Indonesia’s infrastructure priorities under President Joko Widodo and China's Digital Silk Road initiative created a conducive environment for bilateral digital partnership. Key enabling factors include aligned economic interests, regulatory openness, and the strategic use of digital diplomacy. The study concludes that digital cooperation reflects a pragmatic adaptation of Indonesia’s foreign policy to leverage economic opportunities while navigating the regional digital ecosystem shaped by China’s technological rise.

Abstract

This study analyzes the implementation of the New Manufacturing Industry Development Center (New MIDEC) within the bilateral cooperation framework between Indonesia and Japan under the Indonesia–Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (IJEPA) from 2019 to 2023. The research primarily focuses on human resource development in the industrial sector as part of a broader capacity-building strategy. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, utilizing document analysis and secondary data to assess the program’s implementation effectiveness. Theoretical frameworks include National Interest Theory to explain the strategic motivations of both countries, Economic Interest Theory to explore industrial impact, and Effectiveness Theory to evaluate program execution. Findings reveal that the New MIDEC program has not been fully effective in enhancing Indonesia’s industrial competitiveness and productivity. Key shortcomings include weak evaluation mechanisms, limited technology transfer, and inadequate monitoring by stakeholders. The program has largely emphasized basic training without yielding substantial improvements in national manufacturing performance. Strengthening institutional oversight, establishing clear performance indicators, and aligning stakeholder interests are essential to ensure the program contributes meaningfully to Indonesia’s industrial capacity development.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze The Role of Private Military Companies (PMC) in Conflict Venezuelan Presidential Crisis 2018-2020. The research method used is a descriptive research method with a qualitative approach, where data collection is carried out through book sources, journal articles, essays, theses, and also internet sites. This research uses the theory of hard power diplomacy, where hard power diplomacy is a "tool" or approach in international relations that uses military and economic power to influence or force another party or country to follow the policies or interests of the country concerned. This often involves the use of threats, sanctions, economic pressure, or military action to achieve political goals. In this case, it can be seen that the US used hard power diplomacy, where the US used all its means to overthrow President Maduro by giving various "sanctions" to the country of Venezuela and supporting a puppet leader, who at that time wanted to become President Maduro's replacement.

Abstract

This research analyzes the effectiveness of Indonesia–Philippines cooperation in combating narcotics smuggling during the 2017–2022 period. The main objective is to assess the extent to which bilateral memoranda of understanding—between institutions such as the Indonesian National Police (POLRI) and Philippine National Police (PNP), as well as the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA)—have been effectively implemented in addressing transnational narcotics crimes. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method, utilizing data from interviews and literature review of relevant secondary sources. Theoretical analysis is based on Steers’ (2015) organizational effectiveness framework, emphasizing accuracy, timeliness, objectivity, and comprehensiveness of execution. Findings indicate that the cooperation is moderately effective in supporting enforcement and prevention efforts, although it has not fully disrupted cross-border drug networks. Key challenges include limited coordination during the COVID-19 pandemic, the evolving complexity of smuggling operations, and legal system differences. Nevertheless, increased intelligence sharing, joint policing efforts, and the establishment of a bilateral committee demonstrate that this partnership has contributed meaningfully to regional security stability in Southeast Asia.

Abstract

This research examines the commercial diplomacy conducted by the Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia in Karachi to support Indonesia’s palm oil exports to Pakistan, using Naray’s FAR — facilitation (F), advisory (A), and representation (R) — commercial diplomacy framework. The method used in this research is a descriptive qualitative approach, employing literature studies and interviews as data collection techniques. Findings demonstrate that the Consulate General supported Indonesian palm oil exporters through business facilitation efforts, such as organizing business matching sessions to foster trade interactions. Additionally, the Consulate General provided advisory services through market intelligence and research-based reporting to exporters and government stakeholders. Lastly, its participation in promotional events and advocacy campaigns illustrates the representation role in enhancing Indonesia’s commercial presence in Pakistan. This study highlights how the 'FAR' framework effectively operationalizes commercial diplomacy in supporting export strategies.
