Core Subject : Social,
Journal of Global Strategic Studies aims to become one of the preeminent journals in Political Science, notably on International Relations, Comparative Politics, and Area Studies. At this point we publish our issues twice a year, in June and in December. Depending on the number of submissions, we may increase the frequency of our publication in the future. We welcome submission on foreign policy, security studies, democracy, political psychology – anything that is interesting and high quality. As we also aim to inform policy makers and stimulate debates in political science, and thus, we are publishing both research articles and essays – so this journal will be part academic and policy journal. We also welcome and publish book reviews and short essays that question the findings and arguments in articles that we published.

Abstract

The payment digitalisation leads to financial integration with the cross-border payment implemented by ASEAN. This implementation is being conducted bilaterally among ASEAN member states, for instance between Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed by each central bank since 2022 aims to reduce the US dollar dependency which shows positive and progressive results. This issue is interesting to be studied further as the transaction of rupiah to ringgit is higher compared to baht, but Indonesia conducted the implementation of cross-border payment using QR Code for the first time with Thailand. Furthermore, there is a currency rate conversion between Indonesia and Thailand from each central bank. This article uses qualitative research methods with qualitative and quantitative data usage. Using the foreign economic policy which refers to Hiscox (2014), this article found that Indonesia has been cooperating with Thailand in using QR Code due to the exchange rate agreement between IDR and THB to maintain the stability of the exchange rates of each currency, people movement to travel that showed an increment in QR Code transactions, to perceive the mutual gains and recovery for the tourism and SMEs sectors, and private sector and independent central back involvement within this implementation.

Abstract

In the context of the Global South, this research examines the dynamics of relations between Indonesia and China, with a particular emphasis on economic cooperation, diplomacy, and geopolitical influence. This research primarily examines the impact of the Indonesia-China strategic partnership on the economic development of Indonesia and the ASEAN region, as evidenced by initiatives such as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). It also examines the potential economic dependency and geopolitical conflict in the South China Sea and the implications of this cooperation for developing countries. This study concludes that the Indonesia-China partnership can serve as a model of South-South collaboration that contributes to a more equitable multipolar global order. However, it necessitates strategic balance to prevent over-dependence. This conclusion is reached through a qualitative approach.

Abstract

Until now, academic literature has described public diplomacy and strategic communication as two distinct; analogous; connected; occasionally conflicting or incompatible; constitutive or subordinate to the other concepts. Still, their correlation has yet to be clearly defined. Nonetheless, a strategic approach to public diplomacy communication efforts would provide PD actors with the necessary tools to better assess and evaluate input, output and the impacts and outcomes of their campaigns and policies. This article identifies four communication components with strategic value in public diplomacy: the Message, the Medium, Engagement and Listening. These components can fulfil both relational and strategic functions and provide the basis for a successful implementation of essential strategic tools, such as audience analysis, message strategy, channel choice, program assessment and measurable goals and objectives. The suggested approach could serve as a starting point for enhancing the effectiveness of applied public diplomacy or for developing new public diplomacy strategies, that would serve better the interests of both governments and their foreign audiences.

Abstract

In spite of periodic tensions, the Australia-Indonesia relationship has historically been characterized by cooperation instead of competition. However, Jakarta’s official expressions of concern in response to Canberra’s plans to acquire nuclear-powered submarines under the AUKUS pact in 2021 prompted a recalibration of bilateral ties. Now, amidst significant upheaval of the global geopolitical landscape, this article revisits Indonesia’s reaction to the announcement, the factors that shaped its response, and the security agreement’s enduring implications for Australia-Indonesia relations. The article contends that for Australia, AUKUS has become a necessity to reduce the capability gap between itself and China. From the Indonesian perspective, a disconnect exists between official and unofficial views on AUKUS. Within Indonesia’s policymaking circles, there is an implicit understanding, communicated through informal channels, of the agreement’s potential benefits, despite public expressions of concern. For the Australia-Indonesia bilateral relationship, which has developed from a notably low base, AUKUS ultimately portends both challenges and opportunities in the realm of defence cooperation and beyond.
