Abstract

ABSTRAK Tulisan ini berbicara mengenai kegagalan African Socialism Tanzania dalam menghindarkan negara dari eksploitasi sumber daya tambang oleh Inggris pada tahun 2015-2020. African Socialism adalah ideologi pembangunan Tanzania yang diimplementasikan dalam praktik politik dan ekonomi. Prinsip “sosialis” berarti kontrol pemerintah Tanzania terhadap ekonomi negara untuk menghindari “kapitalis” yaitu pihak yang mengakumulasi kapital di atas kepentingan masyarakat Tanzania. Tanzania mengedepankan kebijakan sosialisme-demokratis yang berfokus pada 1) absensi eksploitasi, 2) kontrol produksi oleh pemerintah dan para pekerja, serta 3) ditegakkannya demokrasi. Namun, pada era presiden John Magufuli, kasus-kasus eksploitasi tambang oleh perusahaan Inggris justru meningkat. Magufuli yang mengimplementasikan African Socialism melalui sistem ekonomi nasionalis gagal dalam mengeluarkan Tanzania dari kategori least developed country. African Socialism seharusnya menjadi ideologi pembangunan negara yang menonjolkan kemandirian dan asertivitas Tanzania dalam menghindari eksploitasi neokolonialisme. Anomali ini mengarahkan pada pertanyaan penelitian mengapa African Socialism gagal dalam menghindarkan sumber daya alam tambang Tanzania dari posisi tereksploitasi oleh Inggris pada tahun 2015-2020. Pertanyaan tersebut diteliti secara eksplanatif dengan kerangka state failure theory. Tulisan ini menemukan bahwa pemerintah Magufuli keliru dalam mengimplementasikan African Socialism pada aspek politik dan ekonomi yang merupakan bentuk kegagalan pembangunan negara. Kegagalan tersebut memudahkan konsesi pemerintah dan perusahaan Inggris terhadap sumber daya tambang Tanzania. Kata kunci: African Socialism, eksploitasi, Inggris,state failure, Tanzania. ABSTRACT This paper examines the failure of Tanzania’s African Socialism which leads the country entrapping into exploitation of mining resources by the British government in 2015-2020. African Socialism is Tanzanian development ideology that is adressed to conduct political and economic practices. “Socialist” principles refer to the ability of Tanzanian government in control of the domestic economy, and to avoid capitalist actors, namely those who accumulate capital above the interests of the Tanzanian people. Tanzania puts forward socialist-democratist policies focusing on 1) the absence of exploitation, 2) control of production by the government and workers, and 3) upholding democracy. However, during the era of President John Magufuli, cases of mining exploitation by the British companies have increased. Magufuli, who implemented African Socialism through a nationalist economic system failed to remove Tanzania from the category of least developed country. African Socialism should be the country’s development ideology that emphasizes Tanzania’s independence and assertiveness in avoiding the exploitation of neocolonialism. This anomaly directs to the research question on why African Socialism failed to prevent Tanzania’s natural mining resources from being exploited by the British in 2015-2020. The question is examined explanatively with the framework of state failure theory. This paper finds that the Magufuli government was intentiously incorrect in implementing African Socialism, partculary in the context of politics and economy, which exemplifies the form of state-building failure. The failure eased British government and corporate concessions to Tanzania’s mining resources. Keywords: African Socialism, exploitation, United Kingdom, state failure, Tanzania.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate China’s proactive stance toward developing tight ties with the Taliban regime. The author applies external-internal setting theory to examine China’s reasons for not carrying out Government Recognition to Taliban regime along with rational choice theory to emphasize why the choice to recognize the Taliban only as a de facto is the best solution for China’s current national interests. To study China’s foreign policy, a qualitative-explanatory method with a deductive method is used. After analyzing China’s concerns about Xinjiang instability as one of the “5 Poisons” and China’s security projects and investments in Afghanistan and the South and Central Asia region due to the Taliban’s weak legitimacy, this paper concludes that the recognition of Taliban regime is not a priority agenda at this time. China prioritizes regional cooperation and international support due to Afghanistan-based terrorism. Keywords: Foreign Policy, China, Taliban, Afghanistan, De Facto Recognition

Abstract

The North Korea's nuclear program has threatened the security of the Korean Peninsula. Every year, North Korea launches various types of missile tests, which raises the international community's concern. As a country responsible for maintaining security on the Korean Peninsula, South Korea has made various efforts to stop North Korea's nuclear development. Foreign policy issued by South Korea is constantly re-orientated according to the identity and perspective of the South Korean president at a particular time. This article analyzes President Moon Jae In's idiosyncrasy factors informing the new Sunshine policy to resolve North Korea's nuclear threats. This study aims to prove that the idiosyncratic factor has a significant influence on the decision-making process and the formation of the South Korea’s foreign policy. It shows that President Moon Jae In is a conciliatory leader who has an active-independent leadership characteristic based on the current dynamic North and South Korea’s nuclear tensions.

Abstract

Abstract This study describes the dilemma and the role of UNHCR in dealing with the problem of climate refugees in India. India is the host country for most refugees in South Asia however it still but has not ratified the 1951 Convention and the 1967 Protocol regarding Refugees status and protocols. South Asia is one of the areas that are very vulnerable to climate change, population density, poverty, and lack of resources for climate change adaptation are the main obstacles for the region, also the geographical condition of South Asia which borders the Himalayas in the north and east, the Indian Ocean in the southern part. These two geographical boundaries are vulnerable to climate change, this study uses the theory of transnational interaction between countries and the theory of intergovernmental organizations (IGOs). This type of research uses descriptive research and uses qualitative analysis techniques. The method used in this research data collection is a literature study. This study has an initial argument, namely the role of UNHCR in India is Refugee Status Determination (RSD) in the form of interviewing asylum seekers and verifying documents for refugee status which then issues certified temporary residence to people who meet the criteria, and assists the voluntary repatriation of refugees by coordinate with relevant countries. By carrying out its duties, UNHCR also collaborates with NGOs in India such as Don Bosco Ashalyan, Young Men Christian Association (YMCA), National Institution for Transforming India (Niti Ayong), and Social Law Information Center (SLIC), Development and Justice Initiative (DAJI). , Save the Children India (SCI), Indian Society of International Law (ISIL).

Abstract

This research examines the process of normalizing diplomatic ties between middle eastern countries with Israel and its implications for the Palestine independence. The author uses constructivism paradigm in analyzing the aims of middle eastern countries towards Israel’s existence and the struggle of the Palestine. The political decision of the Middle Eastern countries in normalizing relations with Israel is viewed as an anomaly while Israel continues to occupy Palestine territory. It can be observed that there are economic and military assistance from United States and Israel to Middle Eastern countries. If it is elaborated, the diplomatic normalization isn’t about it but a shared value. Middle Eastern countries, United States, and Israel have a deal that the threat in the Middle East region comes from Iran, which is becoming increasingly dominant. The constructivism explain the concept of threat has transformed originally from Israel and the United States to a threat from Iran.

Abstract

This article discusses the dynamics of negotiating Britain's exit from the EU or Brexit. Negotiations between the UK and the EU took a long time, from the leadership of PM Theresa May to PM Boris Johnson. During Theresa May's time, Brexit efforts failed to materialize and succeeded under Boris Johnson who dared to maneuver by ignoring the parliament. This study uses a qualitative method using negotiation theory and the concept of national interest. Sources of data obtained through e-books, news, journals from Scopus and Google Scholar. The findings of this study are traceable causes, actors and parties involved during the negotiation process occurs. In addition, one of the reasons the UK wants to leave the EU is the reluctance of the EU to control its domination over the UK in domestic activities, in terms of the economy and the policy of free movement of workers.

Abstract

Scholars argue that Trump’s character and experience influence American foreign policy during a crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic. His controversial policy can be seen from his reopening of America agenda at a time when the situation was not conducive yet, the rejection to join COVAX, confrontational behavior toward WHO and China, the reduction of international engagement with the European Union to address COVID-19. This article examines how Trump’s leadership style influenced American foreign policy during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. It mainly uses psychobiography and content analysis as complementary methodologies. This article found that Trump is a predominant leader with a more goal-driven style. He is a leader who likes to challenge constraints, is closed to information, and is achievement-motivated, with an expansionist type. His personalities of high level of dominance, high self-confidence, emotional, ambitious and aggressiveness shaped his foreign policy to be inconsistent and unpredictable during the pandemic. Keywords: American Foreign Policy, COVID-19 Pandemic, Donald Trump, Leadership Style
