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

This research aims to analyse Russian foreign policy toward Ukraine from 2014 to 2022. It uses a dual logical plural approach from Marxist IR Theory. This approach greatly emphasises the importance of two systemic logics, namely capitalism and geopolitics. Since this approach is used in the realm of foreign policy analysis, contextualisation of the level analysis is needed. In this case, the dual logical plural approach proposes a distinctive description of these levels of analysis. International condition refers to the imperialism of the present world order, domestic factor refers to the development of state capitalism, and actors refer to the alliance of political elite and capitalist class of state. Based on those distinctive features, this research concludes several crucial points. First, the expansionist economic manoeuvre of the European Union and the imperialist manoeuvre of the US played crucial roles in affecting Russia's foreign policy toward Ukraine from 2014-2022. Second, the specific history of Russian capitalism development, which gave birth to the emergence of regressive Caesarism, also plays a significant role. Third, the development of Ukraine's capitalism and its class dynamics play a central role in navigating Russia's or Western states' manoeuvres. The dominance of Western Ukraine, which particularly articulates the interests of Ukraine's middle class and Western states' geopolitical or economic interests, significantly forces Russia to change the nature of its policy from annexation to invasion Keywords: American imperialism, European Union expansion, Russian capitalism, regressive caesarism

Abstract

Despite the importance of labour migration in Southeast Asia, the mechanism of migrant workers protection in the region is still lacking. Because of that, cases show that often the undocumented and/or the low-skilled workers receive inappropriate treatment in the host countries. In certain cases, they were treated as second-class citizens – this is despite the work that they do. To address these issues, ASEAN has conducted a series of dialog forums and issued various agreements. In doing so, ASEAN have been involving different key stakeholders working on the issue, including international organizations, regional and national civil society organizations, and employers’ union. Unlike mainstream study which mainly focusses on the role of member states or ASEAN in developing regional mechanisms in the region, this research highlights the strategic role of International Labour Organizations (ILO). We argue that ILO is the powerful entities (aside of the member states) behind the region’s decision to pay more serious attention to the issue. This research shows how the ASEAN member states tend to be more open towards ILO’s involvement in their issues – while, because of the region’s norms of non-interference, they usually are reluctant to take any kind of external intervention to the region. Within this context, from the three possible type of roles of international organization in international system proposed by Clive Archer, i.e. as arena, instrument or actor, this article argues that ILO plays a role more as an actor that act independently to fill the gap left by the inability (unwillingness) of ASEAN member state to provide protection to their own migrant workers.

Abstract

In the modern age, the police institution is utilised as the primary spearhead to combat multiple sources of possible disruptions for the general safety of the public. The Indonesian National Police (INP) as a member of the INTERPOL takes part in multitude of activities conducted by the international organization. Currently, the Indonesian National Police is facing a rising number in the cases of missing persons, unidentified remains and crimes against children with casualties not only from Indonesian nationalities, but also international citizens. The current shortcoming of national technicalities and mechanism may open up a structured and tangible operational help from the INTERPOL in order to increase the efficiency and efficacy of police investigation in Indonesia. This research employs the securitization theory and qualitative method of analysis, along with field research and desk research respectively. Analysis shows that the Indonesian National Police is in favor of the agenda proposed by the INTERPOL during the 90th INTERPOL General Assembly, specifically to increase operational quality of member states, while also supporting the securitization process by the INTERPOL before and during the 90th General Assembly.

Abstract

International labour mobility has increased Indonesian female migrant domestic workers' involvement in transnational labour organisations. Because of their precarious work, advocacy and unions are crucial to protecting them overseas. This paper examines the debates on the political activism of Indonesian female domestic workers and discusses the gap that migration scholars have not yet addressed. The study's conceptual core employs the concept of migrant political transnationalism, which generates the intersection of migrant citizenship and receiving country sovereignty. The author has reviewed thirty journals using exclusion and inclusion criteria with a qualitative narrative literature review. Grassroots advocacy for Indonesian domestic workers primarily emerged in Hong Kong. On the one hand, territorial normativity and sovereignty in the receiving country may prohibit migrants from participating in politics. However, they still can engage in extra-electoral politics as non-citizens. Domestic workers advocate for their rights through lobbying, protests, and rallies. On the other hand, electoral political participation in homeland politics, which political transnational scholars rarely discuss, and their contribution to mobilising votes abroad is also necessary. This finding motivates the investigation's research agenda: Do Indonesian female domestic migrant workers engage with their electoral homeland politics?

Abstract

Since gaining independence in 1947, India's population, expansive land size, robust economic position, and historical and cultural ties have enabled it to dominate South Asian neighbours with comparatively less developed economies and weaker military strength. Since Narendra Modi assumed office as the Prime Minister of India in 2014, the “Neighbourhood First” policy was coined to enhance India's influence in South Asia, creating a favourable environment for its ascent as a global power. However, China's increasing military presence and influence in South Asia through financial and military support to neighbouring countries have disrupted the region's security architecture. This article uses qualitative methodologies to examine India's security threats from China's military and economic support to South Asian countries. The paper finds that South Asia holds a crucial and prioritised position in the foreign policies of both India and China. The strategic competition between India and China in the South Asian region has had and continues to impact the countries in the area significantly. With financial and military support, China is gradually shaping its influence in South Asia, posing a security threat that could isolate India in the Indian Ocean region. It concludes that China's attempts to contain India in the region led India to enhance military cooperation and strengthen its defence partnership with significant countries in the Indo-Pacific region to limit the threats from China.

Abstract

The dichotomy of public and private is always related to the binary oppositions of women and men in social realms. Men are always the representation of the public because masculinity emphasises public discourse, war, and peace, and vice versa with women. Consequently, exploring how women position themselves within the international public sphere is imperative, particularly as the boundary between the public and private realms becomes increasingly blurred. This article argues that women could play a crucial role in this more complex public-private dichotomy while facing the international realm. Nation-states have a role as publics domestically but then change their status quo and become private internationally. Besides, the increasing female population in the world also suggests that women's involvement should be considered in any decision-making process. With the help of deductive qualitative analysis and evidence from some parts of the world, this article shows that women should get more involved in the international public realm. At the same time, the public-private dichotomy becomes even more blurred. The increasing level of women's involvement, the blurred public-private dichotomy, and the procrastinating women's involvement are essential evidence of the argument of this article. Instead of debating sexual clichés, this article aims to show that women's involvement nowadays in the international public realm could be a strategic move by a nation-state regarding the domination of private and even public realms.

Abstract

In 2013, countries around the Gulf of Guinea established the Yaounde Code of Conduct as a maritime security regime to prevent and counter piracy and other maritime-related problems in the area. It turned out that numerous challenges made the Yaounde Code of Conduct unable to deal with the piracy problem in the area. This research, therefore, aims to explain the Yaounde Code of Conduct’s inability to deal with the problem using the Hegemonic Stability Theory, which is rooted in a power-based approach from international regimes study. By implementing explanative methods, the author argued that the absence of a hegemonic state in the Yaounde Code of Conduct regime made it unable to solve the piracy problem in the Gulf of Guinea. It is also important to examine the potential figure among the regime members to claim the hegemonic state position within the regime and the challenge that made them unable to claim that position yet.

Abstract

The fundamental aim of the National Action Plan (NAP) on Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism (P/CVE) is to employ a comprehensive approach to addressing the root causes of violent extremism. However, does it necessarily become a real instrument to employ a comprehensive approach in P/CVE? The case of Indonesia and the Philippines will show the important factors of the people behind the policy-making process and the timing of the issuance of NAP. The NAP will only become a mere jargon of a “comprehensive approach” when there is limited access for other actors outside of the governmental agencies to be involved in the policy-making process. It will only be exploited as an instrument of securitisation because the bulk of attention is on the use of kinetic approach which is regulated under the following regulations that are issued after the NAP. In contrast, if there is a wide range of relevant actors involved, it will allow the policymakers to receive various feedback from different perspectives. Issuing NAP after the other regulations that are heavy on kinetic approach will also allow NAP to compensate for it; showing the government’s commitment to provide comprehensive security.

Abstract

This research aims to analyse the factors contributing to the ongoing conflict in the South China Sea between China, Indonesia, and the United States. China's aspiration to control the Natuna Islands has been evident since the 1990s, with a marked escalation since 2009. The authors used a mixed methods approach, including a literature review and bibliometric analysis, to analyse 49 documents from the Scopus database. Data were analysed using the 50 Conflict Resolution Activities framework by Jonamay Lambert and Selma Meyers. The study reveals that China exhibits a “Pit Bull” conflict style in 2019 documents, while the United States and Indonesia demonstrate a “Worker Bees” conflict style in 2019, 2020, and 2023 documents. Indonesia is expected to be diligent in 2021, 2022, and 2023 documents. Conflict escalation in the South China Sea involving China, Indonesia, and the United States experienced a spike in 2019-2020 documents, resembling the behaviour of a "Pit Bull". However, it is estimated that the intensity of the conflict will decrease in 2021-2023, leading to a more peaceful and cooperative dynamic.

STABLE AUTOCRACY IN SAUDI ARABIA: THE FAILURE OF ARAB SPRING DEMOCRATISATION Adhi Cahya Fahadayna Universitas Brawijaya Email: a.fahadayna@ub.ac.id Submitted: 7 October 2023; Accepted: 10 July 2024 ABSTRAK Arab Saudi mempertahankan stabilitas sistem autokrasi sebagai landasan fundamental dalam sistem politik dan sistem pemerintah. Arab Saudi memiliki cadangan minyak bumi yang tinggi. Selain itu, Arab Saudi dipandang sebagai sekutu yang memiliki kedekatan dengan Amerika Serikat. Secara historis, Arab Saudi dikenal sebagai pusat peradaban agama Islam. Namun, pun ketika gelombang demokratisasi di Timur Tengah semakin menguat, Arab Saudi tetap mempertahankan eksistensi monarki absolut sebagai sumber utama stabilitas politik dan ekonomi negara. Hal tersebut tidak dapat dipisahkan dari penerapan Islam sebagai sumber stabilitas sistem autokrasi, dengan melakukan konfigurasi kekuatan politik kepada Keluarga Ibnu Saud dan Al ash-Sheikh, stabilitas yang berdampak pada kokohnya dan konsistensi sistem autokrasi di Arab Saudi. Perkembangan institusi demokrasi dan reformasi pendidikan agama secara efektif bisa dibendung dengan penerapan hukum Islam dengan ketat oleh lembaga-lembaga penegak hukum yang dikendalikan penuh oleh kerajaan. Selain itu, perkembangan aktivisme media sosial juga tidak memberikan dampak yang signifikan terhadap proses demokratisasi di Arab Saudi. Penelitian ini akan menggunakan pendekatan historis dalam menganalisis sumber stabilitas sistem autokrasi Arab Saudi. Peneliti akan menjelaskan dominasi kerajaan dalam aspek agama, politik, dan hukum sebagai faktor yang berpengaruh dalam stabilitas sistem autokrasi dan penggunaan sumber daya minyak sebagai posisi tawar untuk menghambat agenda demokratisasi Barat. Kata kunci: Arab Saudi, Stabilitas Autokrasi, Monarki, Wahhabisme, Arab Spring ABSTRACT Saudi Arabia maintains a stable autocracy as the fundamental politics of the state and government system. Saudi Arabia has high petroleum reserves and has always been considered a close ally of the United States. Historically, Saudi Arabia has also been known as the centre of Islamic civilisation and the Islamic religion. As the wave of democratisation in the Middle East strengthened, Saudi Arabia preserved the autocratic government style as the state’s central source of political and economic stability, which cannot be separated from Islam as the source of stable autocracy. By configuring its political power to the Ibn Saud Family and Al ash-Sheikh Family, the stability to preserve autocracy is undeniably robust and unchanging. The development of democratic institutions and reformation of religious education was effectively hindered by enforcing Islamic law through various law enforcement agencies controlled by the monarch. The significant impact of social media during the Arab Spring did not have substantial implications for the democratisation process. This research will use historical analysis to unpack the source of stable autocracy in Saudi Arabia by using the monarch's domination toward religion, politics, and law as the bargaining power of stability resources for hindering West democratisation.
