<![CDATA[West Papua issue is one of the most dynamic issue, especially in South Pacific region. Melanesian Spearhead Group is one of the organization from Melanesia sub-region which very actively engaging in decolonization and human rights issue in West Papua. Since the establishment in 1988, the organization which consist of four Melanesian states plus one independence movement party have been supporting the decolonization issue in the region. However, MSG foreign policy in West Papua issue is characterized by inconsistency when dealing with the struggle to support the decolonization. Instead of expressing strong opposition toward Indonesia’s human rights abuses in West Papua, MSG tends to engage Indonesia. This paper aims to explain this puzzle using the case study of Fiji and Papua New Guinea. This paper emphasizes on domestic factors which affect two countries foreign policy in West Papua issue. Using the concept of national interest combined with domestic constraint on foreign policy as a tool of analysis, this paper argues that the inconsistency of two MSG member countries foreign policy is caused by domestic factors]]>

<![CDATA[Realism and liberalism are the most dominant paradigms in the study of International Relations. Both are often positioned diametrically because they have basic assumptions that contradict each other. Even though comparing the two paradigms violates the principle of incommensurability, it doesn't mean it's not useful. This paper attempts to map the two paradigms based on their underlying assumptions. Although in many respects realism and liberalism are opposites in viewing the phenomenon of international relations, both of them basically have similarities in viewing the nature of the international system and the nature of actors. This paper attempts to see what are the strong and weaknesses of each paradigm to see how far both are able to explain the phenomenon of international relations. Nevertheless, this paper does not pretend to judge one paradigm as better than another. ]]>

<![CDATA[The purpose of this paper is to answer two research questions. The first one is how Indonesia utilizes culture as the soft power resource in G20 Presidency 2022 and the second one is the practice of Indonesia’s digital diplomacy on Instagram in G20 Presidency 2022. This research utilizes two conceptual frameworks, the concept of soft power and its cultural element, as well as the concept of public and digital diplomacy. The methodology used in this paper is a qualitative method. The primary data are gathered from Indonesia’s government statements and an official Instagram account that has been verified, @indonesia.g20, as a purposive sample. The secondary data of this article are taken from academic journals and e-books. All data used in this research are limited from December 2021 until May 2022 as part of the early phase of Indonesia’s G20 Presidency. The findings of this research are: (i) Indonesia uses the element of culture as part of promoting its soft power at the global stage through G20 by using cultural element in the G20 Presidency logo; (ii) the strategic issues regarding culture are combined with performances to showcase the variety of Indonesia’s cultural actors and communities; (iii) the practice of digital diplomacy, in terms of agenda-setting, has used three methods to spread information regarding the G20 agendas: by providing technical information, explaining substantive messages of G20 priority areas, and inviting active engagement through quizzes on G20 issues; and (iv) digital diplomacy on @indonesia.g20 Instagram account has covered the involvement of non-state actors. ]]>

<![CDATA[This paper discusses how pillars in Indonesia’s vision of Global Maritime Fulcrum (GMF) are interrelated, particularly maritime culture and maritime diplomacy. These two pillars need to be implemented as an entity concept. Previous literatures have mainly discussed how each of the pillars contribute to the realization of GMF vision. Based on the perspectives of International Relations theory, this paper explains how maritime culture can influence the formulation of strategy and implementation of Indonesia’s maritime diplomacy. The authors argue that the pillars of maritime culture and maritime diplomacy are reflection of the national interests supporting the GMF vision. Additionally, the embedded maritime culture in Indonesian society can have positive implications for the inputs, processes, outputs, and outcomes of maritime diplomacy. If maritime culture can be managed, it would serve as an instrument of soft power, it would construct the national identity and it would drive the creation of regional security governance, maritime norms and regime that could serve as facilitating factors for the achievement of national interests through Indonesia’s maritime diplomacy. The pillar of maritime culture is the root of maritime diplomacy for achieving national interests. ]]>

<![CDATA[Indonesia is one of the fourth largest producers and exporters of coffee beans in the world. Coffee can be used to promote Indonesian culture abroad as well as to increase the potential of coffee in supporting the nation's economy. This approach is called Coffee Diplomacy, which is a gastrodiplomacy approach by utilizing coffee in the form of beverage dishes. Coffee diplomacy is a new tool for Indonesian soft power diplomacy to strengthen Indonesia's bilateral and multilateral relations with other countries, carried out by not limited state actor, but also non-state actors including individuals. This shows the ability of Indonesian coffee as an instrument of cultural and economic diplomacy. The culture of coffee beverages in various regions in Indonesia is closely related to the culture of tolerance in Indonesian society. In the context of international relations, Indonesian coffee diplomacy is a nation branding effort aimed at building a positive image of Indonesian culture, while creating opportunities for economic cooperation to improve the welfare of the Indonesian people. ]]>

Using a descriptive qualitative research method with data collection techniques through semi-structured in-depth interviews, which are then analyzed in depth supported by trust checking techniques through triangulation of data sources. The findings in this study are cultural diplomacy aimed at building Indonesia's image in the South Pacific region in dealing with separatist issues in Papua, which have been raised internationally by several countries, namely Fiji, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and Papua New Guinea.

<![CDATA[The paper complements various theories and practices that have been elaborated by gastrodiplomasi experts and it is also a prolongation of my previous published paper by the theme of conceptualization in gastrodiplomasi. This paper emphasizes on the context of Indonesian gastrodiplomasi. This paper aims to trace back the origins of gastrodiplomasi in Indonesian history. The study found that gastrodiplomasi is an elusive theory where many people fail to understand it holistically. In addition, the savory of Nusantara, as the root of Indonesian gastrodiplomasi, cannot be separated from the role of spices which has been quested for many foreign explorers for hundred years ago. ]]>

<![CDATA[This article aims to compare two Indonesia’s foreign policy ideas, namely, dynamic equilibrium and the ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific (AOIP). It treats both ideas as an analytical tool instead of propositions to be tested against empirical evidence. Using liberal-institutionalism approach, this article argues that despite both ideas applies in the Indo-Pacific region, both have different characteristics. While dynamic equilibrium can be regarded as a foreign policy doctrine which only proposes the basic principles of interstate relations, AOIP is a cooperative framework which becomes policy guidance for countries in the region. However, both ideas conforms liberal-institutionalism premises that international regimes matter because it provides set of rules for cooperation rather than rivalry, recover ASEAN’s role as a key actor in the region, promote dialogue in dispute settlement, and gain economic development. ]]>
