Abstract

The present study aims to identify and analyse the rational factors considered by France in responding to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. In response, France pursued a rational foreign policy, taking into account a number of factors, both national and personal. The present study employs a qualitative research method, adopting a case study approach. The present study employs secondary data and a process of literature review. The analysis of data is a process which encompasses two fundamental techniques: data sufficiency and testing processes. This study employs a comprehensive literature review to identify discrepancies and variations with previous research. The findings of this study demonstrate that the factors considered in French foreign policy are cognitive psychology and rational calculation. These two elements were analysed and became the primary considerations for France in formulating policies to support Ukraine over Russia. This was deduced from meticulous calculations in the disciplines of economics, politics and security. The calculations demonstrated that France's foreign policy was characterised by a high degree of rationality, underscoring the substantial ramifications of the decision to abstain from providing support to Ukraine. France has the prerogative to disregard specific non-compensatory factors, even if these factors ultimately prove advantageous to France. For instance, there are economic advantages to be gained, particularly in the context of collaboration with Russia. Consequently, this research will be of particular interest to scholars in the field of foreign policy.

Abstract

When the political system in Indonesia underwent a transition from authoritarianism to democracy at the beginning of the 1998 reform, there was a significant growth in number of mass media across the country. These mass media brought a variety of information and perspectives unpresented in the previous regime. Indonesians also hoped that these mass media organisations could voice their aspirations and act as watchdogs in overseeing government performance. However, the freedom granted by the state to the public and private sector to establish mass media organisations was not as expected. Through literature studies and direct experience as a journalist, the author elaborates on how the mass media in Indonesia during the Reformation era became controlled by conglomerates who prioritised their business and political interests. This article also reveals how President Joko Widodo used conventional media to perpetuate his power. This study’s findings explain how the public abandoned conventional media and turned to social media to obtain information and voice their aspirations. As a result, mass media increasingly lost readers and viewers, making businesses increasingly reluctant to advertise their products.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze how New Zealand achieves Māori inclusion in trade through the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). New Zealand's policy is crucial for addressing three main challenges: the need for adaptation and a deep understanding of cultural, political, and trade practices aligned with the CPTPP. The methods used in this study include document analysis, policy analysis, and a literature review to understand the relationship between New Zealand and the Māori in cooperating under a free trade agreement. The research findings indicate that during the 2019–2023 period, New Zealand undertook several policy initiatives to achieve inclusive trade for Māori through the CPTPP. These policies include the establishment of the official board TFAAB, which functions to provide recommendations and critiques regarding decisions and policies made by the Crown related to inclusive trade in the CPTPP. New Zealand also established institutions and support communities that specifically act as Māori representatives in addressing provisions to be agreed upon in the CPTPP, such as Te Taumata, Ngā Toki Whakarururanga, FOMA, and the National Iwi Chairs Forum. During this period, New Zealand also offered solutions to address claims raised by the Māori, such as the revision of the Plant Variety Act and matters related to digital trade.

Abstract

This article examines the phenomenon of democratic backsliding in Nigeria through an institutional lens, comparing its trajectory with those of selected West African peers. We begin by surveying the literature on democratic erosion and institutional decay in Africa, noting that formal democratic rules often mask autocratic practices. Theoretical perspectives such as Democratic Consolidation Theory and Institutional Theory are applied to explain Nigeria’s institutional erosion. Using a qualitative comparative case study approach, we analyze Nigeria’s recent decline focusing on the judiciary, electoral processes, and executive-legislative relations drawing on empirical data from election observer reports and scholarly studies. We then contrast these findings with developments in Ghana, Senegal, and Mali to identify regional patterns. The analysis reveals that while Ghana’s democracy remains relatively robust, both Senegal and Mali have experienced acute reversals, highlighting a regional trend of weakening checks and rising authoritarianism. We discuss the implications for governance and security in West Africa, noting that institutional decay undermines public trust and can exacerbate conflict. The article concludes with policy recommendations strengthening judicial independence, reforming electoral bodies, protecting civil liberties, and bolstering regional democratic norms to promote resilience against backsliding. These recommendations aim to guide reformers in sustaining democratic governance in Nigeria and the region.

Abstract

Global dynamics show that human migration patterns continue to undergo transformation in line with technological developments. Whereas migration was previously explained through the traditional push and pull theory with a dominant pattern from the global north to the global south, new phenomena such as digital nomads have emerged as a form of change in the direction of migrant mobility. Digital nomads, who work remotely using digital technology, not only shape a new concept of migration, but also create added value for the digital economy of the destination country. To accommodate this phenomenon, a number of countries have begun to introduce digital nomad visa policies as a legal instrument that allows the digital nomad community to stay longer legally. Although the digital nomad visa policy has not yet become a joint ASEAN agenda, several countries in the Southeast Asian region have implemented this policy as part of their national interest strategy, such as Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. This policy has the potential to support the growing trend of ASEAN competitiveness in the field of innovation. This article analyses the impact of policy implementation on the prospects for the digital economy in the Southeast Asian region. The results of the study show that the transformation of migration patterns through digital nomad visa policies has the potential to accelerate the flow of knowledge exchange and enhance the region's position in the global digital economy. However, its effectiveness is limited by the lack of harmonisation of regional regulatory frameworks and the readiness of digital infrastructure. Thus, this transformation of migration patterns not only changes the way individuals move and work, but also repositions the meaning of traditional migration, which plays a strategic role in the consolidation of the digital economy and ASEAN's regional competitiveness in the era of digital globalisation.
