Abstract

The Syrian conflict in 2011 has inevitably led to the massive forced migration of asylum seekers and refugees. Most of them fled to neighbouring and several countries in Europe. As a result of the European Union (EU) 's open border policy, their influx into Europe was reckoned a problem for many European countries due to increasing crimes and threats to its members' national security. Some European Union countries chose to be cautious by refusing or only providing financial assistance. Contrastingly, as an EU member state, Sweden received thousands of Syrian refugees until 2013. On October 3, 2013, the Swedish government announced an asylum policy of guaranteed housing provision and the right to bring families to Syrian asylum seekers until they obtain UNHCR refugee status. Such granting asylum policy to Syrian refugees shows differences in the identity of social security construction both in the society and its decision-makers compared to other EU countries. This article exposes the identity influence on the Swedish government's decision to grant asylum to Syrian refugees in 2013. This article employs the "aspirational constructivism" theory by Anne Clunan, arguing that a state's policy is based on a national identity sourced from society's historical reflections and the political elite's future aspirations. This article finds that Swedish society's history experienced cultural homogenization, known as a multicultural country, and the ​​Social-Democracy and folkhemmet ("Home for the People") idea of the political elites resulted in the granting of asylum policy to Syrian refugees in October 2013.

Abstract

This article is motivated by a cooperation agreement between Indonesia and Australia, namely the Lombok Agreement or Lombok Treaty, regarding law enforcement, intelligence, resistance, terrorism, and maritime security. This collaboration was also continued with the MoU Joint Declaration on a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between Australia and Indonesia during the reign of President Joko Widodo in realizing a shared vision of a safe and stable maritime environment. This article aims to look at and analyze more deeply such cooperation between Indonesia and Australia and how it influences Indonesia under President Joko Widodo's administration to realize its Global Maritime Fulcrum (GMF) mission, thus contributing to managing maritime security. The research method applied in writing this article uses a descriptive research type using literature review techniques to collect data from various journals, articles, books, websites, and studies that correlate with this article. This article uses the concept of maritime cooperation to see the bilateral cooperation between Indonesia and Australia, which is based on problems and aims to achieve the interests of each country. Overall, this article shows that the maritime cooperation carried out by Indonesia and Australia can impact efforts to realize Indonesia as a Global Maritime Fulcrum proclaimed by President Joko Widodo in the security realm. This cooperation is implemented in the form of cooperation that has a positive impact on the development of personnel quality, both on Indonesian Navy (TNI AL) and Royal Australian Navy (RAN) personnel professionalism, as well as information gains in implementing maritime security operations with Indonesia.

Abstract

After the reformation occurred in 1998, the political situation in Indonesia became unstable. Military forces had been concentrated in the central government to maintain stability. Thus, the situation in Indonesia became vulnerable and easy to be provoked. During that period, various conflicts happened and escalated, such as ethnic and interreligious group conflicts. One of those conflicts occurred in Poso, considered one of the most violent conflicts in Indonesia after the reformation. It was an interreligious conflict between the Christian and Muslim groups in Poso, a city in Central Sulawesi. In this city, the interreligious conflict between these two groups took place a few times through some phases, involving both militant and violent groups. The conflict was eventually settled through the dialogue between two conflicting groups, each led by respected religious local figures. The government mediated the dialogue through one of the public officials who was respected in the country. In the last stage of Poso conflict resolution, Malino Declaration was set to end the conflict, and the military was sent to the city to keep the peace process, and the conflict perpetrators were sent to trial.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze 1) the Lao government’s responses in coping with illicit drugs in Laos; 2) the responses of IGO, particularly UNODC, in addressing the illicit drugs issue in Laos; (3) the impacts of opium farming on the economy and environment in Laos. The results of this research reveal that the Lao government is very committed to dealing with the illicit drugs issue, reflected by its involvement in international conventions and long-term national planning. However, these steps could not achieve maximum results as many former opium farmers in Laos could not find sustainable jobs, thus at risk of reverting to opium farming. Meanwhile, as IGO, UNODC played an essential role in assisting the Lao government in eliminating opium farming and creating sustainable jobs. The cooperation between UNODC and the Lao government improved the opium farming situation in Laos. However, the concern for the environment caused by opium farming has not been found, even though illegal opium farming causes deforestation, decreased biodiversity, and soil erosion.

Abstract

Globalization has influenced the polarization of international relations activities, especially towards implementing cultural diplomacy. Referring to transnationalism theory, non-state actors have dominated international relations activities by using popular culture and social media as a means of international communication. The implication of the role of non-state actors from among K-Pop idol groups is no exception to spreading a country's local culture as a form of cultural diplomacy. Therefore, this article sees the implications of NCT's transnational activities as a K-Pop idol group influencing the strategy and implementation of Indonesia's cultural diplomacy in the digital era. By using qualitative research methods with library research techniques and observing activities using social media, this article analyzes the role of NCT in spreading Indonesian culture globally through three approaches to cultural diplomacy, according to Cynthia Schneider, namely values, audience, and environmental approaches. Through these three approaches, this article underlines that the role of NCT in spreading Indonesian cultural values has an impact on the formation of the basis of trust and the image of Indonesia internationally. Then the use of social media carried out by NCT has succeeded in expanding the target of Indonesian cultural diplomacy, which can be seen through the achievement of a considerable number of audiences and enhanced regional reach. In addition, the role of NCT in spreading Indonesian culture also influences the strategy and policy of Indonesia's cultural diplomacy. It is shown through the recognition and use of NCT in one of the Ministry of Creative Economy and Tourism projects. Thus, these article findings show the role of NCT in Indonesia's cultural diplomacy as a form of popular culture utilization, the K- Pop, and extend the effectiveness of using social media as a means of cross-country communication in the digital age.

Abstract

This study seeks to analyze the positive impact of the presence of migrant workers in developed countries which encourages fiscal balance. Over the past few decades, developed countries, including the European Union, have experienced a grey population so that the number of Labor Force has decreased. On the other hand, the European Union is obliged to pay the money of retired people. These vacancies can be filled by migrant workers. The issue of the migration crisis affecting the European Union should not be addressed negatively because refugees and migrant workers are two different forms of migration. Refugees are closely related to the issue of human security while migrant workers are one of the drivers of economic factors. The strong migration flow of workers from developing countries to the European Union encourages economic turnover and has an impact on the substitution of reduced income due to ageing society. This research uses the concepts of Fiscal balance, Ageing Society and Neo Classical Economic Migration theory to explain the European Union's efforts to maintain its Fiscal policy amid the ageing population issue that hits through the migration flow of workers to the European Union. Finding of this paper is migration and integration policy in the EU contribute to more positive fiscal balance by applying social security for a migrant in the EU.

Abstract

This article discusses racism and anti-China sentiment in Australia. Racism is not quite popular within International Relations studies (IRs). However, this article aims to find how racism may become an exciting topic in IRs as racism has happened in many parts of the world and became widespread during and after the pandemic, including in Australia. Racism itself is not a popular topic within the study of IRs. Still, this research specifically seeks to explore the correlation between the rise of racism and the long Chinese history with Australians. This paper uses qualitative library research to focus on secondary data from previous literature and official websites. This paper argues that immigrants of Chinese or Chinese descent in Australia are, to some people, seen as second-class people. Despite being wealthy and educated like Penny Wong, discrimination towards their race is still their most significant challenge living in Australia. Covid-19 Pandemic has made the challenge more extensive and more robust. The problem is rooted in the racism that has happened and institutionalised since early Australian history. Nevertheless, although the White Australian Policy had abolished, however, racism which was reflected by the Anti-Chinese sentiment, has been continued to play a big part in Australia's foreign policy. It was reflected by the decision of the Australian government to call for an investigation into the outbreak of Covid-19 and Australia's accusation of violation of human rights by the Chinese government had done. Therefore, Australia must be open on this issue because it will help the country build better bilateral relations with its neighbours, including China.

Abstract

This paper examines the strategy of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) to establish an Islamic state called a caliphate in Iraq and Syria. In examining the case, this paper used the theory of strategy that comprised means, ways and ends introduced by Art. Lykke. Since its appearance in 2014, ISIS has occupied some prominent cities in Iraq and Syria to gain its objective of transforming the state into a caliphate. The group has used various ways or concepts to execute their objective through propaganda, beheading, modern technology network and the new media's role in recruiting new members. Regarding means or resources, the group has independently established and managed its economic income. However, the group has faced significant losses and decreases in the last two years. Thus, it has made achieving its objective of establishing a caliphate harder.

Abstract

The paper examines the 2023 presidential election in Nigeria: a study of Kwara state. This paper is a case study research work. To this end, the Kwara State election is a study and an analysis of its impact on the concluded presidential election in Nigeria. The unchangeable conventional political analysis has repeated itself in Nigerian politics; as the north central zone has been one of the determinants of winning the presidential election since the inception of the fourth republic, the tradition remains unchanged. Kwara State, as one of the states in north central, cannot be ignored from this historical legacy. This research aims to analyze the presidential election in Kwara State with in-depth analysis from an electoral behaviour perspective. The theory employed in this work is a voting theory that is more beneficial to this paperwork. The research methodology comprises primary data from key informant interviews of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) officials, party agents, and electorates; the secondary data include texts, journals, television media, and newspapers. The findings revealed the APC candidate as the winner of the presidential election. Likewise, the research identified the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) flaws and its causes. One of the prime recommendations is the need to improve the technology rate of Nigeria's electronic voting system in terms of service and technical know-how.
