Abstract

In the transformation of global infrastructure, the emerging 5G technology has become the cornerstone of a digital revolution that has changed the way humans do business and interact with each other. Huawei is one of the Chinese technology companies that has made a name as a global leader in this technology. However, the existence of Public Private Partnership (PPP) between China and Huawei makes western countries, especially countries that join the Five Eyes intelligence alliance feel threatened, especially in their cyber security. This research aims to analyze the Five Eyes policy towards the public private partnership between the Chinese government and Huawei. This research uses the theory of cybersecurity and the concept of Public-Private Partnership as the research analysis framework. This research found that Huawei's launch of 5G technology supported by the Chinese government caused opposition from Western countries that are members of the Five Eyes intelligence alliance. Based on national security reasons, the launch of 5G technology by Huawei and the Chinese government is considered dangerous and is allegedly a strategy of the Chinese government to conduct espionage and other spying activities against countries in the world to fulfill the interests of the country. This triggered the imposition of a ban on Huawei's 5G technology in several countries, including the Five Eyes member countries.

Abstract

This paper analyses the strengthening of secessionism in the Thailand’s southern region of Patani during Thaksin’s period through the conceptual framework of “identerest” (identity and interest”). Indeed, local’s aspiration of secessionism in Patani had continued to be a headache for the central government under in Bangkok under Thaksin. Strategies had been diffused by Thailand’s authority, including through the implementation of strict security measures, yet all of them fails to reach the main objective as to diminish the Patani’s secessionist movements. Instead, the Bangkok’s counter-secessionism policies have worsened the human rights situation on the ground and, as a consequence, fueled the already strong demand to secede. With an argument that it is better to look at the struggle in Patani as a symbolic mixture of both identity and interest or “identerest”, this paper examines the nature of conflict in Patani. In so doing, it traces the process through which the secessionism idea has emerged among the indigenous population of Patani, describes the roles of local leaders in the establishment of secessionist movements, and assesses the impacts of the government’s counter-secession policies in the South end of Thailand in prolonging the dispute.

Abstract

The foreign aid program through capacity development projects by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), which addresses water and sanitation issues in Pakis Kembar Village, Malang Regency through the IUWASH program, is perceived as less effective in constructing global environmental norms at the local level. Therefore, this research aims to measure the extent to which the process of constructing and disseminating global environmental norms at the community level has progressed and to identify the current status of norm construction. Employing the norm life-cycle concept, the study will examine how the stages of global environmental norms can be socialized and internalized through norm entrepreneurs in Tegal Pasangan Hamlet, Pakis Kembar Village, Malang Regency. The use of ethnographic methods with thematic ethnographic data analysis techniques is deemed relevant, given that the primary focus of the research is on individual or community behavior, which is closely influenced by local culture and other immaterial aspects such as norms and ideas. Overall, it is evident that there has been no significant change in the habits of the community, thus justifying that the norm cycle process has only reached the norm cascade stage.

Abstract

The Israel-Palestine conflict, one of the most enduring intractable conflicts, is shaped not only by political and economic factors but also by the psychological impact of collective trauma. This study explores how collective trauma, deeply embedded within group identities, reinforces patterns of mistrust and hostility between communities. Using a qualitative literature review, the research examines the influence of collective trauma on psychological resilience and human security, analysing how intergenerational transmission of traumatic narratives hinders reconciliation efforts. Data was collected from scholarly journals, books, and international reports and analysed using content analysis to identify key themes surrounding collective trauma’s role in sustaining conflict dynamics. Findings highlight collective trauma as a barrier to psychological recovery and a critical factor in the ongoing security challenges faced by both communities. The study contributes to conflict resolution strategies by emphasising the need for trauma-informed peacebuilding interventions.

Abstract

Seal hunting has been practiced by the Inuit people for centuries as a means of survival in icy regions with limited natural resources. The Inuit hunt seals because every part of the animal provides numerous benefits. Over time, seal hunting was also adopted by fishermen along the Canadian coast. The reason for this hunting, as carried out by the fishermen, was to preserve the hunting culture of the Inuit. However, the purpose of hunting shifted from subsistence to commercial aims. As the revenue generated from the sale of seal hunting products contributed significantly to Canada’s income, the Canadian government legalized seal hunting, which subsequently led to large-scale hunting. The legalization caused environmental crimes, as the number of hunted seals exceeded the quotass set by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), and the hunting methods were often brutal. Consequently, Canada came under scrunity from environmental-focused international Non-Governmental Organizations (INGOs), one of which is Sea Shepherd. This article provides an overview of Sea Shepherd as an actor within the Transnational Advocacy Network (TAN) and its efforts to end the legalization of seal hunting in Canada. The initiatives undertaken by Sea Shepherd have led to positive outcomes, such as the cessation of seal hunting export-import activities to the European Union and better control over the number of seals being hunted.

Abstract

This article critically examines whether international law functions merely as a tool of Western hegemony or possesses the potential to evolve into a more inclusive framework for global justice. While recognizing the historical power imbalances that have shaped its development, the analysis highlights international law's transformative potential as a mechanism for fostering cooperation, peace, and justice. By exploring historical context, progress, challenges, and the ethical balance in power dynamics, the article emphasizes the pivotal contributions of non-Western scholars and nations in reshaping the global legal order. It critiques the selective application of legal norms by dominant states, particularly in conflicts like Israel-Palestine and Russia-Ukraine, which exemplify enduring ethical dilemmas and systemic inequities. Advocating for a reimagined legal framework, the article underscores the importance of integrating diverse perspectives, addressing structural inequalities, and advancing fairness and inclusivity. Through this lens, international law emerges not only as a reflection of historical inequities but as a dynamic tool for achieving global justice and equity.
