Abstract

International relations as an academic field of study has a reputation for being masculine, violent, aggressive, or even brutal because of its focus on power projections and the state as the main actor. His academic and practical discussions rarely discuss issues related to other matters outside of defense, military, and state power, such as issues of gender equality or social welfare that have international and transnational dimensions. This paper criticizes the conception of masculinity which has been the heart of various schools of thought in international relations through the lens of feminism. This paper will explore more deeply the approaches and main ideas in the concept of masculinity and international relations, by focusing on the ideas promoted by the realism and constructivism paradigms. These ideas will then be contested with the concepts narrated by feminists in international relations. After reviewing the masculinity approach, this paper will also attempt to map the consensus between the feminist approach and the traditional notion of international relations regarding the concept of masculinity.

Abstract

North Korea has conducted sixth nuclear device tests by 2017. But the United States and South Korea persist on their current approach, that is pressure and sanction. The ways in which the United States and South Korea manage the Korean Peninsula crisis beg us to rethink, since the objective thereof, namely denuclearization, has not come into fruition. There are three problems to discuss. First, why North Korea keeps developing its nuclear weapons program. Second, why the current approach of the United States and South Korea seemingly fails. Third, what kind of changes the United States and South Korea need to have. This article argues, South Korea needs to acquire and develop its own nuclear weapons, and the United States needs to perform military retrenchment by retracting United States Forces Korea from the Peninsula. To examine the argument, neorealist theory, Waltz’s proposition on the further spread of nuclear weapons, and theory of military retrenchment, all provide necessary framework.Keywords: Korean Peninsula crisis, nuclear ROK, US military retrenchment, neorealist theory

Abstract

In international relations, public diplomacy is used by state actors and non-state actors to introduce cultures in the international sphere to create positive image of the countries. One of instruments of public diplomacy is gastrodiplomacy in which actors introduce cultures through special foods of certain country. One of non-state actors that has implemented gastrodiplomacy is Zahra Turkish Ice Cream, a company operated in several major cities in Indonesia such as in Jakarta, Bekasi, Bandung, and Yogyakarta with nine stores in total to introduce Turkey’s culture and identity. This paper describes Zahra Turkish Ice Cream’s role as a non-state actor in conducting gastrodiplomacy and revealed whether or not Zahra Turkish Ice Cream is able to attract consumers toward Turkey’s culture. This paper employs two concepts; new public diplomacy and gastrodiplomacy. This paper argues that Zahra Turkish Ice Cream has succeeded in introducing Turkey’s culture to its customers.

Abstract

Middle countries are considered to be more vulnerable in crisis management because of their marginal position in the international politics. In the pandemic, middle power diplomacy is expected to fill the void left by developed countries so that they focus on multilateral efforts. This paper argues that Indonesia exercised middle power diplomacy in 2020. This diplomacy is carried out with a commitment to encourage global cooperation in resolving the pandemic through multilateral efforts. The multilateral initiatives are carried out as part of ‘good international citizenship’, and also serves as the mechanism to voice Indonesian aspirations, aspirations related to humanity, efforts to create global norms, and efforts to reach international treaties. This paper is a qualitative research, which is based on a literature study in the form of an official statement from the Government of Indonesia through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and is supported by secondary sources.

Abstract

The transformation of governance from centralized to decentralized opens the role of local governments to contribute in advancing national interests. The birth of the Regional Autonomy Law as a legal framework for local governments to pursue development goals by looking at a number of potentials they have. The role of local governments is not only becoming a local actor but also an international actor known as ‘paradiplomacy’. The example of paradiplomacy in international relations is initiating cooperation on foreign investment to attract foreign investors. Makassar is one city that has been implementing paradiplomacy to create a smart city in order to achive good governance characterized by integrity, accountability, and transparent. Therefore, due to the rapid progress of the information technology every single town and district as well as province should create IT-based smart city to create a public service that is more efficient and innovative. Keywords: Transformation of governance, paradiplomacy, investment, international relations, smart city, information technology

Abstract

This study aims to understand and examine the economic relation between Indonesia and Japan. This paper questioned; how will the degree of Indonesia’s economic dependence on Toyota’s corporation affect the economic diplomacy through IJEPA? As analytical tools, this article used the concept of transnational economic diplomacy. This paper argues that Indonesia has experienced a very high economic dependency phase in the automotive sector, through Toyota Corporation. This dependence is not only on the existing corporation, but also on the partner country - Japan. Meanwhile, amidst the existing dependencies, the IJEPA agreement itself contains a major problem. It is seen that Japan’s offer through MIDEC program in the form of technology transfer has not yet shown its seriousness. As a result, negotiating agreements to implementation is considered a failure. The two findings are alternating to make Indonesia lower in the bargaining position of the next negotiation.Keywords: Transnational economic diplomacy, economic dependency, IJEPA, MIDEC, and Toyota.

Abstract

This book contains five chapter with a specific explain and contribution in every chapter. The first chapter is about Singapore’s foreign policy and explains about exceptional state. The second chapter is talking about the battle of sovereignty. The third is about transcending regional locale. The fourth explaining about Singapore and the power, and the last is about driving and suffering the region. The Island Republic of Singapore is the smallest state within South-East Asia and, indeed, within a wider East Asia. It also lacks natural resources, except for the human variety in limited numbers, and a harbor in an ideal location for servicing regional trade. In 1999, for the third year running, the Swiss based world economic forum ranked Singapore first among over fifty leading economies in its annual global competitiveness report. In its material accomplishments and attendant external recognition, Singapore is exceptional not only within its regional locale, but also globally among so called small states. The point has been well made that economic success is the main reason for Singapore’s high status and disproportionate influence in international affairs.Keywords: Singapore's foreign policy, sovereignty, small states

Abstract

In the history of Indonesia’s foreign policy, there are often differences in attitudes between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense in responding to international issues. The Ministry of Defense seems to act unilaterally and pays little attention to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in expressing attitudes and views regarding Indonesia’s foreign policy. There are disagreements between two ministries that cause polemics and pros and cons in government circles which eventually evaporate in public space. This paper analyzes the lack of synergy between the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in addressing international problems, which seem to work independently. This paper argues that a one-door policy in Indonesian foreign policy is needed, where the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must be positioned as the only door in the formulation and implementation of foreign policy, which the Ministry of Defense must submit to and comply with and synergy with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in foreign policy issues.
