Abstract

Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is China’s economic megaproject and foreign policy grand strategy aiming to bolster the economic growth of developing states throughout regions, including Southeast Asia. Investing massively in infrastructures with the support of the Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is the key objective of this initiative. This research investigates the advantages of international cooperation under the BRI platform for ASEAN economic development, particularly in Indonesia. This research is analysed using the descriptive qualitative method with journals, books, and reports as the main data resources. The research uses neoliberalism as a theoretical framework to analyse how such international cooperation creates high interdependence amongst states in the international system. The result shows that international cooperation under the BRI economic platform has critically provided aid and assets for developing states to grow their economy in the future. As part of the BRI membership, Indonesia benefits from China’s massive investment in building a high-speed rail link that can boost national economic growth. Keywords: Belt and Road Initiative, Neoliberalism, Economic Development, Southeast Asia, Indonesia

Abstract

This paper intends to explore how elections are being influenced through social media and what managerial measures have been adopted to promote information integrity in the electoral context of Nepal. Based on the synchronic approach under the information ecology framework of analysis with the data relating to 2022 local, provincial and federal elections in Nepal, this paper found that the political parties along with candidates and the Election Commission of Nepal enhanced the use of social media for disseminating electoral information in the elections. With the increase in the use of social media in elections, the coverage of the information environment has significantly expanded from political parties and individuals in the domestic setting to social media companies in the international setting. Moreover, besides the informational aspect of the social media in elections such as discussions, deliberations as well as concerns over disinformation and misinformation in elections, the aspects of emotional appeal and response are also found dominant. In this context, for promoting information integrity and deterring information pollution in elections, the Election Commission of Nepal as an independent election management body is found to have used a 3-P strategic model composed of promotional, preventive and punitive approaches with having a focus on informational aspect of social media in elections. However, depending on the deep-rooted social and cultural values, prevalent information culture, information behavior, globalized information environment as well as subject to the level of individual educational status and media literacy in the populace, myriad challenges including informational and emotional deceptions tend to appear in elections in Nepal.

In the Philippines, only wealth and prosperity can affect political dynasties. While in Indonesia, only wealth and prosperity can affect political dynasties. In general, poverty in both countries contributes to the expansion of political dynasties. Keywords: poverty, political dynasty, multiple linear regression

Abstract

The food sovereignty of the Cireundeu indigenous community in Indonesia integrates cultural values ​​and local geographic conditions in food management. This community relies on cassava (rasi) as a staple food, which is managed independently without relying on the government. The process of food production and distribution is carried out within a family and barter framework, creating a sustainable food system. The implementation of this food sovereignty results in food independence, protects the environment, and strengthens cultural identity. Environmentally friendly agricultural practices, such as avoiding chemical fertilizers and pesticides, maintain the quality of the soil and surrounding animals. Food independence also has a positive impact on the community's economy, by minimizing the risk of rising food prices. The community can develop cassava-based products through the Serba Singkong (SS) UMKM, which helps increase income, especially for mothers. In addition, customary practices that are still preserved attract visits from outside, encouraging the formation of POKDARWIS (Tourism Awareness Group) as a food and environmental tourism destination. Thus, the food sovereignty of the Cireundeu indigenous community not only guarantees food availability, but also contributes to environmental conservation and improving economic welfare, while maintaining a rich cultural identity.   Keywords: food sovereignty, food independence, Cireundeu
