Global: Jurnal Politik Internasional
Published by Universitas Indonesia
ISSN : 14115492     EISSN : 25798251     DOI : https://doi.org/10.7454/global
Core Subject :
Global: Jurnal Politik Internasional is a biannual peer-reviewed journal that specialises in foreign policy, international security, international political economy, and transnational issues involving actors of the Global South, having implications towards the Global South, or perspectives from the Global South that are often overlooked in the mainstream journals in the Global North. With its first issue published in 1990, Global is the oldest university-based journal of International Relations in Indonesia, a historically leading actor in the Global South. Hosted by the Department of International Relations, Universitas Indonesia, Global has been serving as one of the primary platforms for ideas exchanges among Indonesia’s most influential thinkers and beyond. In its attempt to internationalise and further bridge the North and South perspectives, the journal welcomes submission of manuscripts that would be of interest to scholarly communities and policymakers. For this purpose, since 2019 Global only publishes articles in English. Global publishes two types of articles: original research articles offering theory-driven empirical analysis and review articles that critically examine contemporary debates in International Relations literature.

Abstract

Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 seeks to diversify its oil-dependent economy, but scepticism persists due to past reform failures, particularly in fiscal policy and labour markets. Ulama, as key figures in the Saudi "social contract," play a vital role in legitimising government policies, especially on social and religious matters. However, reforms promoting private sector growth and social liberalisation have raised concerns among conservative ulama over potential threats to Islamic values. To address this, the government under Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) employs a strategy of separating economic and religious narratives while using a "carrot and stick" approach to manage ulama opposition. This approach aligns with realism theory, emphasising economic power for national stability, and Weber's legitimacy theory, highlighting the critical role of ulama support. Without the support of religious elites (ulama), societal resistance could undermine Vision 2030's reforms.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the concrete development and implementation of blue economy programs in the future by examining Indonesia's role in the context of international political economy, particularly through maritime diplomacy and cross-regional cooperation such as ASEAN, the Indonesia-Latin America and Caribbean Business Forum INA-LAC, and the Alliance of Island States AIS. Using a constructivist approach, this study concludes that Indonesia, as a middle-power country, utilises soft resources, such as maritime identity, sustainability values, and diplomatic leadership, to strengthen its position in global blue economy governance. The results of the study show that Indonesia has strategic potential for developing and implementing blue economy programs through a combination of diplomatic instruments, international cooperation initiatives, and normative leadership. This role not only strengthens Indonesia's position in global forums such as the 2023 ASEAN Power and the AIS Forum, but also provides advantages in international political economy, particularly in building legitimacy and support from other countries for Indonesia's national interests.

Abstract

Through this study, the authors question how the prospects for ASEAN regionalisation relate to the development of blockchain technology as a cybersecurity medium. Based on previous research, ASEAN is facing a problem of terrorism, which is difficult to handle over time. The finding further exacerbates the fact that transnational terrorist groups have begun to use virtual currency as one of their strategies for funding organisations. Meanwhile, Southeast Asia, according to results of several surveys, includes areas with high numbers of cryptocurrency users, making it a target for blockchain technology companies to establish main offices. Within the framework of ASEAN regionalism, the author argues that ASEAN blockchain technology can be used to address terrorist financing through cryptocurrencies, but is hindered by the principle of non-interference. Prioritising each other's sovereignty has left ASEAN unprepared to face the cryptocurrency fever, as each member country has different views and interests regarding virtual currencies. This can be seen in the non-uniformity of regulations across ASEAN member countries, and there are no specific,  binding rules from the regional organisation regarding the use of cryptocurrencies. As a result, the use of blockchain technology by ASEAN member countries is adjusted to their national interests. Then there is no initiative from ASEAN members to bring this issue into the regional realm; in fact, what is driving it is the private sector and blockchain users in Southeast Asia.

Abstract

In 2021, the question "How much is enough" emerged in national debate following the plan of the then Indonesian Defence Minister, Prabowo Subianto, to allocate 1.7 quadrillion Rupiah for military modernisation from 2020 to 2045. This article follows up on this debate by recommending a budget forecasting model for the weapons acquisition requirements of the Indonesian National Defence Forces (TNI) during the period 2025 to 2044. The model is built by considering International Cost Escalation (ICE), which is the increase in the unit cost of successive generations of similar weapons, causing a steady increase in the price of weapons systems each year. Four main variables are integrated into the forecasting framework: the need for modernisation of 10 selected weapon systems categorised by two technology sources (Western and Eastern), macroeconomic growth trends, the defence burden to GDP and investment (modernisation spending) as a percentage of total defence spending, and the value of the selected ICE. This study concludes the following: (1) there are three possible scenarios for the modernisation of Indonesia's weapons systems based on technology sources from Western countries, Eastern countries, and a combination of Western and Eastern countries (diversification); (2) current macroeconomic conditions and defence burdens are not sufficient to support full-scale modernisation using Western technology alone.

Abstract

Along with the development of decentralisation and subnational diplomacy, strengthening child protection at the city level has become an important part of the global agenda. This research aims to analyse the implementation of the Child-Friendly Cities Initiative in Surabaya City from a paradiplomacy perspective. In addition, this study seeks to explain the synergy between local, national, and global policies and identify opportunities and challenges using literature studies and analysis of official documents from the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection (PPPA) and the Surabaya Office of Women's Empowerment, Child Protection, Population Control, and Family Planning (P3APPKB), the Surabaya City Children's Forum, the Surabaya Child-Friendly City Task Force, and UNICEF Indonesia. The research findings show that Surabaya has implemented strategic measures, including preparing an Annual Work Plan, strengthening children’ s participation in decision-making, and developing child-friendly infrastructure. The paradiplomacy strategy has been proven to increase access to international resources and best practices while improving Surabaya’s local governance capacity and global standing. However, challenges such as low public awareness, budget constraints, and suboptimal cross-sector coordination remain. Using data processing based on thematic analysis, this study fills the gap in research on the application of a paradiplomacy perspective in child protection issues, particularly in the implementation of the Child-Friendly Cities Initiative in the Indonesian context.

Abstract

This article evaluates the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) through the analytical framework of sustainable development. The framework is crucial, as China frequently disseminates sustainability claims to promote the BRI. To assess these claims, it is necessary to examine the realisation of BRI projects alongside the empirical consequences they have generated across recipient countries. Southeast Asia constitutes one of the most prominent target regions for BRI investment. Four Southeast Asian countries occupy a significant position due to the scale and number of projects they have received: Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Thailand. Each country exhibits distinct political–economic systems and structural conditions, rendering them analytically salient cases for testing the BRI as a purportedly sustainable development cooperation project. The findings indicate that BRI projects contribute to economic growth, primarily through enhanced connectivity, yet they fall short of fulfilling the core elements of sustainable development. Case studies from the Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Indonesia reveal environmental impacts, including deforestation, biodiversity loss, and social displacement resulting from land-use conversion. The policy orientation of the BRI has not fully embodied a holistic commitment to sustainable development principles, as it remains more oriented toward economic gains than toward ecological balance and social justice. To align the BRI more closely with the 2030 Agenda, China would need to enforce stricter environmental standards, enhance transparency in financing mechanisms, and prioritise investment in renewable energy.

Abstract

This article critically examines the literature on global aid governance through a feminist lens, focusing on three key areas: epistemic power, organisational depoliticisation, and the ethics of accountability. The review reveals that the coloniality of knowledge in global aid governance creates epistemic hierarchies grounded in claims of objectivity and efficiency, thereby marginalising local voices. Meanwhile, processes such as NGO-isation and professionalisation have transformed activism into administrative compliance. However, within these structures, reflective agency can still emerge through negotiated autonomy and the politics of translation, allowing feminist organisations to maintain their political significance. Regarding ethics, feminist accountability is redefined as a relational practice that opposes the neoliberal model of accountability and emphasises collective responsibility rooted in trust, solidarity, and collective reflection. This review advances a framework of decolonial accountability, shifting from surveillance to collective responsibility, from mere compliance to reflective engagement, and from hierarchical domination to equitable relationships in the context of global aid governance.
