Abstract

This paper examines democratic administrations and human security in Nigeria’s fourth republic. The fourth republic was the first republic in Nigeria's history that witnessed a long democratic transition which is still in continuation. The wide assumption is that democratic institution has strong leverage for human security. But from Nigeria's perspective, it is not certain that democracy has promoted the human security of the citizens’ livelihood. The objective of the paper is to assess the impact of democratic administrations on the livelihood of the citizens. The theory of this research was the sustainable development theory. The research methodology is a triangulation method descriptive and explorative in Nature. The findings revealed that democracy in Nigeria had not been able to solve the human security dimensional aspect of livelihood security. One of the focal recommendations is a strong political institution that can produce an effective rule of law and accountability government to the people.

Abstract

Indonesia has been a key recipient of U.S. foreign aid for over seven decades, even before USAID's establishment. It was among the first countries in the Asia-Pacific region to receive U.S. assistance in 1950. Despite fluctuations in U.S.-Indonesia relations, U.S. aid to Indonesia has remained consistent and evolved over time, adapting to the changing geopolitical landscape, from Cold War politics to the Global North-South dynamics. This research focuses on USAID's technical assistance in education and workforce development in Indonesia between 2014 and 2023. Indonesia's significant democratic and economic advancements over the past 15 years have elevated its status as a prominent regional leader with growing global influence. When the U.S. and Indonesia signed the Assistance Agreement in 2014, Indonesia was experiencing robust economic growth, exceeding six percent in the previous years, and, along with China and India, played a crucial role in helping the Asia-Pacific region weather external financial shocks post-great recession. This progress solidified Indonesia's position as a prominent emerging economy. On the other hand, the U.S. had not fully recovered from the economic downturn caused by the 2008-2009 Great Recession and was facing substantial budget cuts. The total foreign aid budget approved by the U.S. Congress in 2014 decreased by six percent (approximately $7.4 billion) compared to the previous two years. Normatively, foreign aid tends to decrease as the recipient country experiences economic growth, particularly when the donor country, like the U.S., is grappling with both domestic and international economic challenges. This research reviews 17 foreign aid studies using a taxonomy analysis method to examine the underlying motives of U.S. foreign aid. In this context, it effectively explores the complex relationship between the altruistic concern and geostrategic interest of the US aid allocation towards Indonesia.

Abstract

The influx of migrants into Europe in 2015 has led to a sharp rise in support for right-wing groups. Denmark is a prime example of this tendency, as the Danish People's Party (Dansk Folkeparti, DF) scored its highest-ever election success and emerged as the second-largest party in the 2015 Denmark’s general election, greatly impacting immigration and refugee decisions. The dominance of right-wing parties has, in turn, influenced Denmark’s policy direction towards asylum seekers and refugees. Anti-refugee and anti-asylum seeker narratives propagated by these parties reflect elements of securitization employed by the Danish government in addressing refugee issues. This study aims to examine the changes in Denmark’s government policies toward refugees. It seeks to analyze the elements within the concept of securitization that underpin the shifts in anti-immigration narratives particularly post-2015. This assumption is based on two factors; the anti-immigration policies advocated by right-wing parties and the perception of refugees as threats to security.

Abstract

This literature review examines China's rise as an emerging international hegemon and its impact on the transformation of the global order. Grounded in Organski's power transition theory, the study explores this framework's theoretical principles and empirical evidence while distinguishing it from classical realism. The review outlines the phases of power transition—potential power, transitional growth, and power maturity—and applies these phases to China's historical trajectory from an agrarian economy to an industrialized global power. Special emphasis is placed on pivotal milestones, including Mao Zedong's economic strategies, Deng Xiaoping's market reforms, and Xi Jinping's assertive policies such as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Through the lens of power transition theory, the article highlights China's strategic efforts to challenge Western dominance, particularly the United States (US), and reshape the international order. This study raises critical questions about the future of global leadership and stability amidst the shifting power dynamics between a declining US and a rising China.

Abstract

South Sudan became independent from Sudan in 2011 after a long history of ethnic and political conflict. Despite being rich in oil resources, the country continues to be caught in turmoil and violence fueled by ethnic strife, particularly between the Dinka group led by President Kiir and the Nuer group led by former Vice President Machar. Peace agreements signed in 2015 and 2018 failed to stop the violence. This has led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people and millions of refugees. The UN's implementation of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) faces various financial, logistical, and immature understanding of the peace process. Regardless of international efforts, the situation in South Sudan remains fragile, and R2P implementation requires a more comprehensive and adaptive strategy. Therefore, the author seeks to analyze the implementation of R2P in the South Sudan conflict by considering the concept of international organization and Responsibility to Protect (R2P). The author employs a qualitative research method with a descriptive and analytical approach to this article.

Abstract

Singapore's unique geopolitical context has long necessitated a foreign policy grounded in pragmatism, strategic foresight, and a deep understanding of global dynamics. Among Singapore's leaders, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong stands out for his nuanced international thinking, which balances realism with multilateral engagement, and national interests with global responsibilities. This paper explores the key themes of Lee Hsien Loong's worldview-including globalization, China's rise, the importance of the United States, and regional cooperation, and examines how these have shaped Singapore's foreign policy. Through a qualitative analysis of public speeches, interviews, and secondary literature, the article provides a comprehensive assessment of Lee's international outlook, arguing that it represents a strategic synthesis of small-state survivalism and liberal internationalism.

Abstract

This study examines Fiji’s intricate governance landscape, a product of its colonial past, military interventions, and subsequent constitutional reforms, which have collectively fostered a highly centralized political system. By critically analyzing the evolution of Fiji’s political structures alongside the case study of FIJI Water, the research highlights significant tensions between national unity efforts and the preservation of traditional indigenous governance. The study employs qualitative methodologies, drawing on extensive secondary data from academic literature, government documents, and media reports to assess the implications of centralized authority on democratic participation and environmental policy. Findings reveal that while recent reforms have sought to eliminate ethnic-based representation and promote a unified national identity, they have also marginalized traditional institutions and limited public accountability. In parallel, the FIJI Water controversy illustrates the broader conflict between corporate interests and the sustainable management of natural resources, as local communities continue to face challenges in accessing clean water despite the country’s global brand image. The analysis underscores the urgent need for legal reforms—such as enforcing Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) and decentralizing governance structures—to empower indigenous groups and strengthen public participation in environmental decision-making. Ultimately, the study argues that a recalibrated governance model, which integrates environmental democracy with political reforms, is essential for ensuring sustainable development and upholding human rights in Fiji.

Abstract

This paper explores the role of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) as a key defense institution in safeguarding Israel’s national security following its conflict with Hamas, using defensive realism as the primary theoretical framework. This theory underscores the state’s priority in preserving security without seeking hegemonic power. Within this framework, the IDF is viewed as playing a crucial role in maintaining national integrity through military preparedness and air defense strategies, notably the deployment of the Iron Dome system to counter rocket threats from Hamas. The analysis also highlights the significance of defense diplomacy, particularly strategic cooperation with the United States, in enhancing the IDF’s operational capacity. By applying theoretical insights and case-based evidence, this paper demonstrates how the IDF effectively mitigates the impact of external threats and reinforces public security in a volatile post-conflict environment.

Abstract

Food issues have become a sensitive topic because they are one of human life's basic needs and necessities. Somalia is one of the countries suffering from a sustained food crisis over the past few decades. This is caused by factors that have implications for the sustainability of the lives of its people. Therefore, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), an international organization operating in the field of food, has developed strategies through its programs to address the food crisis in Somalia in its efforts to combat famine disasters and achieve sustainable food security. This research uses the theory of International Organization Policy Implementation through the Management Approach as an analytical framework. The methodology used is descriptive with qualitative data analysis techniques. Data was collected through secondary data, namely documents and official publications from related sources. The research findings state that the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) implements its programs through monitoring, capacity building, and problem-solving. Monitoring is implemented through an annual reporting system on food crisis conditions, evaluations, and representative visits. Capacity building is achieved by developing individual, organizational, or community capacity through mentoring, skills, knowledge, and training. Problem solving through financial assistance and support. This research aims to provide an overview of the efforts of international organizations to address issues in a country.
