This article aims to answer how Japan responds to China's increasing assertiveness in the South China Sea amidst the limitations of its power projection. Japan's security posture is like 'destined' to have a pacifist character, making Japan only equipped with defensive capabilities that tend to be minimal. At the same time, China also continues to use its influence to aggressively occupy the South China Sea and create threats to Japan. For this reason, the narrative analysis method is used to analyze a series of phenomena based on the framework of Walt's threat balance theory. The results of the study explain that Japan's considerations for balancing against China instead of joining in through understanding the level of threat and the prerequisites for China's alliance are quite balanced. Therefore, the external balancing strategy with the United States and Southeast Asian countries seems to be Japan's strategic move against China. Keywords: alliance, balancing, China, Japan, South China Sea

The purpose of this article is to outline the multiple facets of ASEAN’s external economic relations (EER), loosely termed as ASEAN economic diplomacy. In doing so, this article builds on two main frameworks: strands of economic diplomacy and general framework of economic diplomacy and employs research interviews and documentary analysis as the main research method. Findings suggest that ASEAN is most advanced in its trade diplomacy, relying on the ASEAN-plus scheme. ASEAN also displays an interesting pattern in their trade diplomacy, since it is mostly aimed at achieving political goals rather than economic ones. The main reason for this is because ASEAN member states can actually achieve larger economic gains by negotiating individually rather than collectively through ASEAN. However, ASEAN still faces limitations in doing collective negotiations due to its regional development gap, different levels of economic ambition, absence of a common external tariff and the lack of a regional negotiator acting on behalf of ASEAN. Keywords: ASEAN, economic diplomacy, external economic relations, trade diplomacy

This article explores the phenomenon of diaspora diplomacy by China on bilateral relations between China and the United States in 2017-2021. Qualitative descriptive research and case study methods as well as the concept of diaspora in International Relations were used. Diaspora diplomacy is an instrument of public diplomacy to introduce the culture, ethnicity, and national identity of the country of origin to the host community. This article finds that the Chinese diaspora in the United States acts as a link between host and home countries, playing a role in strengthening economic ties. The activities of the Chinese diaspora through the Confucius Institute demonstrate the process of internationalizing culture, ethnicity, and national identity as a strategic communication tool that enhances bilateral relations between China and the United States. However, the current role of the Chinese diaspora has yet to demonstrate its peace-building function and provide an alternative political vision for its home country. Keywords: bilateral relations, China, diaspora diplomacy, United States

Perang antara Rusia dan Ukraina yang masih berlangsung hingga pertengahan 2022 ini menyisakan perhatian pada diaspora, selain pada segala akibat perang dalam banyak hal terhadap kedua negara dan hubungan internasional. Diaspora Rusia dan diaspora Ukraina tersebar di luar negeri, baik sebagai diaspora pasif maupun sebagai diaspora transnasional dan global. Dalam banyak kepentingan mereka adalah subjek-subjek internasional yang signifikan baik bagi negara asal (home country) dan negara tuan rumah (host country) maupun bagi ragam komunitas diaspora lainnya. Namun, serangan militer Rusia ke Ukraina telah membuat diaspora Rusia dalam keadaan sosial yang tersudutkan di tempat mereka berdomisili. Sementara para pengungsi Ukraina yang mendapatkan simpati sebagai migran baru akan mengalami kehidupan diaspora di negara penerima di masa depan bila mereka menetap. Dari tempat baru, mereka dapat berfungsi sebagai saluran politik domestik dan internasional untuk konflik dan iredentisme guna "memulihkan" identitas dan wilayah yang telah dianeksasi pihak musuh. Selanjutnya, efek terkuat perang Rusia dan Ukraina terhadap risiko perang berikutnya bekerja melalui diaspora adalah sesuatu yang mungkin.

This article aims to explain the movement of Indonesian diaspora and their initiative to create multifarious new activities in today’s globalized era. Focusing on Indonesian diaspora organizations in Europe, namely Indonesian Diaspora Networks (IDN) in the Netherlands and France who are eager to come together, build organizations based on a common identity, and contribute to Indonesia. The newly-emerged concept of hometown transnationalism is used to explain the phenomenon in which collective remittances through development projects are the main output of diasporas’ contribution. Qualitative method is applied to this study through a set of in-depth interviews, a study of life history, and literature review completed by site visits to observe diasporas’ works. The results of this study show that the emergence of various diaspora organizations is the impact of the increasingly rapid movement of people and technological developments, thus encouraging the diaspora to be more connected to their hometowns. Both IDNs play a vital role in realizing diaspora's aspirations to develop Indonesia through multifarious ways. Keywords: diaspora organizations, hometown transnationalism, Indonesian diaspora, Indonesian diaspora networks

This article seeks to explore how China understands multilateralism. Employing content analysis, this article analyzes Chinese leaders’ speeches surrounding the establishment of AIIB. The result finds that within the speeches, “fazhan” (development/to develop) is the most frequently mentioned word. The narratives concerning the word suggest that from the China perspective, a multilateral cooperation framework is instrumental to pursue its long-term geopolitical goals. For China, multilateral practices should be based on the principle of flexibility. On the one hand, the implementation of such a principle is central in projecting the image of China as being accommodative. On the other hand, it is fundamentally instrumental to ensure that China would have wider room to maneuver in achieving and defending its interests. Keywords: Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, China, economic development, global governance, multilateralism
