<![CDATA[This article examines the dynamics of the method local integration of ex-East Timorese residents in the refugee settlement area of Kupang Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province.The author uses the Functional Theory by Talcott Parsons and the Local Integration concept by UNHCR as set out in Refugee Convention 1951. While related to research method, the author uses qualitative methods with descriptive approaches and secondary data. The results showed that the implementation of local integration of ex-East Timorese was not as expected. This is due to obstacles in every level of the local integration process, both related to legality, economy and socio-culture. Social harmony between local residents and ex-refugees isn’t always become the commitment of the central and regional governments, but requires the role of the informal sector, especially local communities at refugee settlement areas. The process of local integration that is not going well can lead to social conflict in the community.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper provides an analysis of Indonesia’s immigration policies towards Israel and Taiwan, two countries that do not have official diplomatic relations with Indonesia. Immigration policy analysis will focus on the implementation of Indonesia’s selective policy towards foreigners such as applications for entry permits (visas), inspections at Immigration Checkpoints (TPI), supervision of foreigners, and enforcement of Indonesian immigration laws. Through qualitative research methods and descriptive analysis approaches, it can be explained how the concept of national interest is able to influence Indonesia’s decision not to open diplomatic relations with Israel and Taiwan. The differences in background that affect the absence of diplomatic relations have finally contributed to the differences in the policy of granting the Visa of the Republic of Indonesia to citizens of Israel and Taiwan who want to enter the sovereignty territory of the State of Indonesia. The Covid-19 pandemic situation also influenced the policy of granting the visit visa. There are no differences in security enforcement policies at Immigration Checkpoints and immigration control, as well as law enforcement through immigration administration actions between Israeli and Taiwanese citizens and foreigners from other countries.]]>

<![CDATA[During the leadership of President Sukarno, China had an important meaning not only for the people of Indonesia but also as a source of political concept from the perspective of Sukarno. In addition, China also had significance for the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI) as a meeting room prior to communist ideology. The paper employs literary study method and discusses about diplomatic relations between Indonesia and China during the Guidance Democracy ( 1949-1965). The relationship between two countries at that time exhibited closeness between Sukarno and Mao Tse Tung. The political dynamics at that time brought the spirit of the New Emerging Forces. Both leaders relied on mass mobilization politics in which Mao used the Chinese Communist Party while Sukarno used the PKI.Keywords: Indonesia, China, diplomacy, politics, ideology, communism]]>

<![CDATA[This study explains the socio-political conditions of government in the New Order era and revisits the situation at that time from the perspective of Thomas Hobbes and Niccolo Machiavelli. This is based on the desire of some parties who want to return Indonesia back to the New Order era which is considered by some people to provide political and economic stability. This paper argues that the New Order and the state power model as described by Hobbes and Machiavelli thinking placed the unity of the state as the core idea, which made the country stable and did not experience horizontal conflicts. But with globalization, the rapid development of technology and the power of social media, making Indonesia as an authoritarian state as before would be difficult, if not impossible to do. It is important to study the thoughts of these two figures because both Machiavelli and Hobbes attach great importance to the unity and integrity of the state, and avoid the state from breaking up due to conflict and war.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper aims to analyze how the Indonesian government’s efforts to fulfill the health rights of refugees or asylum seekers who were in Indonesia when the COVID-19 case hit the world. Pekanbaru was chosen as a case study because it has broken the record for the highest number of additional COVID-19 cases in Indonesia. This condition is exacerbated by the fact that, Pekanbaru is also one of the cities with the highest number of receiving refugees in Indonesia. Using qualitative research methods, this paper argues that the acceptance of refugees by Indonesia on humanitarian principles is in line with the identity that has been shown as defenders of human rights. To maintain this identity, in terms of handling COVID-19 with refugees, it would be better if Indonesia adapted policies that were adaptive and sensitive to minority groups, in this case asylum seekers in Pekanbaru.]]>

<![CDATA[As a maritime country Indonesia has economic and security opportunities as a foundation for national development. The future of the Indonesian maritime is realized through the synergy between the economic and the security aspect. This article describes the importance of such synergies within the framework of the global maritime fulcrum. Economic development in this framework is realized through ‘tol laut’ and connectivity of goods and services throughout Indonesia. In terms of security issues, the combating of illegal fishing is a form of defense policy as well as effort to maintain Indonesia’s territorial sovereignty. On one hand, this paper stresses the importance of economic development supported by defense and security stability. On the other hand, the development of defense posture requires a robust economic strength. Economy and security are two aspects that are inseparable and mutually supportive as an effort to realize the ideals of Indonesia as a global maritime fulcrum.Keywords: Global maritime fulcrum, economic and security, ‘tol laut’, illegal fishing]]>
