Abstract

Theorizing and manifesting peace through democracy has always been connected with Kantian propositions, making a country's attempt in realizing those two not to be separated  with Kantian theories also. The United States of America has been self-proclaimed as a ‘role model and promoter of democracy and peace’. To some extent this might be true, as its foreign policy key objective includes ‘promoting democracy and advocating human rights. However, the ‘role model’ also translates as an entity that needs to be ‘the best’, yet the 2021 Capital Riot reflects otherwise. This paper proposes the Kantian Peace Triangle as the framework to do the work, by breaking-down US’s policy and activities particularly in the Post-Cold War period. The paper uses qualitative approach and literature review method in the research. This paper argues that the US has not been able to reach the ‘ideal’ essence as a ‘role model of democracy and peace’ in the global order, and that this role has become mostly irrelevant in the 21st century world

The issue of child marriage is a socio-economic problem that has existed for a long time in Bangladesh.

This research explains how the Save The Children campaign is trying to deal with the problem of child marriage in Bangladesh in 2020-2023. The theory explained in this research is Brown's theory of international organizational campaign efforts. The research method uses qualitative data analysis techniques with descriptive research type. Primary data collection techniques from interviews with Rahamat Ullah from Save The Children in Bangladesh regarding the research topic. Research findings show that the Save The Children campaign's efforts to address the problem of child marriage are realized in the form of online campaigns via social media and offline campaigns. Apart from that, Save The Children also emphasizes children's participation in campaign efforts to address child marriage in Bangladesh.

Abstract

Multiculturalism is among the best solutions to social groups' clashes, tensions, and conflicts. It provides an open, fair, and equal political and social policy to all elements in one society. However, multiculturalism strengthens radicalism and terrorism when the attention and respect for social identity are unequal. This article examines multiculturalism's situation, trends, and challenges in the European and Southeast Asian regions. Additionally, the paper elaborates on the challenges of building inclusive spaces in multicultural societies. Data were analyzed using a systematic-critical qualitative review method. Information was sourced from previous studies, reports from international websites, news, and analyses on the condition of multiculturalism in these two regions.

Abstract

Penelitian ini akan mengidentifikasi hasil-hasil program kerjasama sister city Surabaya-Kitakyushu pada tahun 2012-2023 dalam mewujudkan Surabaya Green City dan membandingkan dengan kondisi pengelolaan sampah yang ada saat ini di Kota Surabaya dengan menggunakan metode penelitian deskriptif kualitatif. Rumusan masalah yakni bagaimana kerjasama sister city antara Pemkot Surabaya dan Pemkot Kitakyushu sebagai upaya pengelolaan sampah tahun 2012-2023 dengan teknik pengumpulan data analisis data primer dan data sekunder. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kerjasama antara kedua kota tersebut telah menghasilkan berbagai program seperti daur ulang, fasilitas pengolahan sampah Super Depo Suterejo, Rumah Kompos Wonorejo, PDU Jambangan, Pelestarian Hutan Mangrove, dan PLTSa di TPA Benowo. Program-program tersebut telah menunjukkan peningkatan subtansial dalam pengelolaan sampah yang dapat dihasilkan dari teknologi yang sederhana dan murah sehingga memberikan manfaat dari aspek efisiensi waktu dan pengurangan sampah secara kuantitatif. Meskipun telah memberikan hasil yang nyata, akan tetapi harus tetap diperlukan adanya perbaikan/evaluasi pada fasilitas TPLSa Benowo dan penggunaan metode Takakura yang memerlukan langkah-langkah preventif dan komprehensif.

Abstract

This article employs a sophisticated neoclassical realist framework to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the intricate landscape of Philippine foreign policy under the administration of former Philippine President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, elucidating the contours of the so-called “The Duterte Doctrine”. This encompasses a nuanced exploration of the nation's role as a middle power, focusing on the pillars of national security, economic diplomacy, and the safeguarding of overseas Filipinos. Employing an analytical lens that intricately weaves systemic pressures and domestic imperatives, the study meticulously unravels the historical trajectory of Philippines-USA relations and the evolving dynamics in the Philippines-China relationship. Methodologically, a discerning review of historical events, policy decisions, and diplomatic maneuvers is undertaken to unveil discernible patterns and strategic recalibrations within the nation's foreign policy landscape. The main findings underscore a diplomatic chess game in the Philippines-China relationship, marked by a strategic departure in defense posture with the cessation of joint military exercises with the U.S. Economic diplomacy, encapsulated in the Duterte Doctrine, manifests as a fervent pursuit of diversified economic partnerships, concurrently raising cogent concerns about potential economic dependence. The analysis accentuates the adaptive resilience of Philippine foreign policy in response to the evolving global landscape, thereby substantively contributing to regional stability. As a middle power, the Philippines astutely leverages its agency amid great power competition while assiduously upholding principles of international law and justice, necessitating nuanced and context-specific approaches to maintain a delicate balance between traditional alliances and emerging economic partnerships.Keywords: China, Duterte Doctrine, Philippines, Rodrigo Roa Duterte

Abstract

The collapse of the Soviet Union and the fall of communism has changed the policy of Russia toward North Korea. However, North Korea has been associated as the closest ally of Russia, even after the collapse of the Soviet Union. This article will explain the transformation of the Russian and Soviet Union relationship using a zero-sum approach. This article shows that Russia prefers to maintain a close relationship with North Korea, with extensive opportunities to improve its economic and security interests within the region of East Asia. Russia will avoid high-risk conflict because it focuses on economic stability. As the closest and critical ally of Russia, North Korea tends to depend on Russia as the sole partner in economic and security. This research will employ a historical approach to unpack the foreign policy dynamics of Russia toward North Korea. The historical analysis is critical to explaining significant factors toward stable relations between two countries.

Abstract

The repatriation of Indonesian migrants from Syria in April 2023 reminded us to the repatriation wave of Indonesian migrant from Syria after the country was torn by internal conflict since 2011.  Indonesian Government has conducted series of diplomatic efforts to ensure the safety of its citizen in Syria.  Indonesian Government was decided to stop sending its workers to Syria since 2011.  Indonesia also categorized Syria as one of rescticted destinations for its migrant workers since 2015.  Then why are there Indonesian migrants in Syria after those restrictions was applied?  This fact indicates that there was illegal procedure available that enabled the workers to migrate to Syria amids the restrictions which out of sight of the government monitor.  This paper addressed two issues: Indonesian diplomacy as a respon to the conflict in Suriah; and the problems faced by Indonesian Migrant Workers (IMW) because of the conflict in Syria.  This paper identified two problems faced by IWM in Syria after the conflict: security threats caused by the conflict that contributes to the occurrence of illegal migration to Syria; and labour issues that wosened by intensity of illegal migration during the conflict.

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
