Abstract

This research delves into transformative shifts in United States (US) foreign policy during Donald Trump’s presidency, specifically focusing on withdrawals from crucial international agreements like the Paris Agreement, TPP, UNHRC, UNESCO, and UNRWA. Utilizing the Poliheuristic theory, the study aims to comprehend the rationale behind the US withdrawal from international regimes and organizations during Trump's administration. The research employs a dual-stage assessment within the Poliheuristic theory; the cognitive aspect, considering policymakers’ values, and the rational aspect, evaluating potential gains and losses. President Trump confronted three options for international organizations: remaining, renegotiating, or withdrawing. Qualitative techniques were incorporated to analyze the prioritization of the America First promise and assess the country’s engagement with these entities. Rejecting the option to remain led to a rational evaluation of renegotiation or exit. The decision to withdraw was strategically made to address unmet renegotiation demands, minimizing significant financial burdens for the US.

Abstract

The onset of the Russo-Ukrainian conflict in February 2022, commonly referred to as the 2022 Ukraine crisis, has had a notable impact on the dynamics of Sino-Russian relations. In light of Russia encountering a severe reaction from the global community, it is anticipated that China will assume a mitigating role, owing to their amicable bilateral ties throughout the preceding decade. This study investigates the potential for increased assertiveness in China’s response to the invasion and the resulting implications for their ties. It examines the ramifications of the crisis on Sino-Russian relations, considering the elements that contribute to either the change or continuity of these interactions. It does so by referencing a short historical account of the relations and power dynamics among the relevant actors, employing a realist perspective. The analysis of this study reveals that China has departed from its initially neutral position during the crisis, indicating its capacity to assume the responsibilities associated with becoming a major global power. Nevertheless, their bilateral relations may be advantageous to China with time, primarily due to Russia’s increasing economic reliance and China’s potential for enhancing its global standing.

Abstract

Human smuggling as an embodiment of transnational organized crime is a form of transnational illegal trade. A widely traded commodity is migrants, and one human smuggling network with an extensive cross-border network is China-based Snakeheads. This article applies qualitative methods with secondary data collection to elaborate on the development and interaction patterns of Chinese Snakeheads as well as their resilience strategies. By utilizing the social network theory and dependency theory, the results show that both smugglers and migrants have a strong urge to leave no trace by using the social ties and resources they have. Smuggling routes often involve transit countries, where such countries may have incentives to allow efficient underground smuggling systems rather than risk-generating longer smuggling routes. The smugglers themselves have developed various strategies to encourage their transactions, flexibility, and resilience as a smuggling business to ensure the success of the smuggling process.

Abstract

The Mekong region is strategic in terms of economics and geopolitics. Besides being home to mainland Southeast Asia countries, external state actors play around in the region, such as the United States, Japan, Korea, and India. They established institutions as a cooperation framework to maximize the region's potential. Over time, ASEAN remains the central organization for cooperation in East Asia, but the numerous cooperations in the Mekong will have implications for ASEAN. This article aims to provide an overview of the dynamics of overlap institutions in the Mekong Region, focusing on ASEAN's position in these cooperative efforts. The overlap institution is used as a conceptual framework. This article applies a qualitative method with secondary data. The Mekong region has multi-membership because the interests of the major actors and countries are intertwined. Therefore, they are trying to open up new opportunities by forming other institutions. In addition, the dynamic will shake East Asia's regional integration.
