Abstract

The Spratly Islands dispute has emerged as a major source of tension in Southeast Asian geopolitics due to China's increasingly assertive territorial claims and artificial island-building activities. This study examines how the leadership transition from Rodrigo Duterte (2016-2022) to Ferdinand Marcos Jr. (2022-2024) fundamentally altered Philippine security cooperation with the United States in the context of the Spratly Islands conflict. Using a qualitative research methodology with explanatory analysis, this study integrates Neoclassical Realism theory with the concepts of bandwagoning and balancing to analyze how domestic factors mediate foreign policy responses to consistent external pressures. The findings suggest that despite facing identical structural threats from Chinese expansion in the Spratly Islands, the Philippines has adopted very different strategic approaches under different leaderships. Duterte's bandwagoning strategy, characterized by "quiet diplomacy" and economic accommodation, has succeeded in attracting Chinese investment commitments but has failed to prevent China's continued militarization of artificial islands and the consolidation of de facto control over the disputed territory. In contrast, Marcos Jr.'s balancing strategy, which emphasized "transparency diplomacy" and the strengthening of US alliances through expanded access to military bases and increased joint exercises, effectively restored international credibility and enhanced deterrence, but actually increased the risk of direct confrontation. This research validates the core proposition of Neoclassical Realism that domestic factors serve as crucial mediating variables shaping how small states respond to external pressures.

Abstract

Superhero films have long been popular because they play a role in shifting the sacred boundaries of a culture. Things that were once taboo to consume are now, through superhero films, popular cultural products that are consumed without sacred boundaries. This concept is popularly known as cultural desacralization. To examine this, the study analyzes two superhero and god-themed films, the TV series Percy Jackson and the Olympians and the film Shazam! Fury of the Gods, to see how the narrative of cultural desacralization is carried out in superhero films. The results concluded that the process of desacralization that occurred in the TV series Percy Jackson and the Olympians and the film Shazam! Fury of the Gods was a form of desacralization that involved economic commodification and the transformation of sacred socio-cultural values to make them more acceptable to a wider audience. On the one hand, the filmmakers placed morality in accordance with the common agreement of society, with the aim of attracting the consumer interest of the public towards the two films. On the other hand, the films also contain representative messages. Thus, the process of desacralization is not only read as an object of commodification. It is also seen as a form of cultural distribution, through the transformation of desacralization, where information that was once sacred is now opened up and disseminated through films in the hope that people will be interested.
