Abstract

The notion of cultural soft power has always been addressed as the use of one film industry for the sake of a state’s soft power in international politics. However, the idea of a state–film industry combination omits and treats the two entities with identical and similar interests or powers. Confronting this conceptualization, this research uses an inductive methodology in its conceptual paper, which criticizes the existing concept and provides a new framework for analysis. This research offers a new conceptual framework to understand the seemingly combined nature of the film industry and state in world politics and to treat them as two distinct entities with different logics and interests. To do so, this paper proposes the use of the political economy approach to the film industry and Foucault’s governmentality for state rationality. Taking the case of Hollywood during the Cold War, this research argues that the combination of the state and film industry could only be realized in terms of industry profitability and the enhancement of the state’s images toward the international population. In other words, while the film industry will only want to propagate the state’s images in its international market because it is profitable, the state is equipped with various tools to create such conditions.

Abstract

On the 26th of September 2023, the 7th President of Indonesia, Joko Widodo, officially inaugurated the launch of the first carbon credit trading platform of Indonesia, IDXCarbon. The launch of this carbon credit trading has marked another stepping stone of Indonesia to its commitment to combating climate change and further strengthening its position in the global environmental conservation arena. The aim of this article is to critically evaluate the potential opportunities and benefits of the carbon trading scheme in Indonesia through the lens of Environmental Economics theory, while also assessing the potential challenges through the scope of Political Ecology theory . This article employs Environmental Economics theory in analyzing how the establishment of a carbon trading market presents potential benefits in addressing greenhouse gas emissions by implementing economic value in carbon reductions. The carbon trading adoption in the environmental policy framework in Indonesia aims to encourage low-carbon economic practices and innovations across various sectors. On the contrary, this article will also provide a critical examination towards the adoption of carbon trading in Indonesia through the lens of Political Ecology theory. Political Ecology theory will highlight the underlying power relations across state, private actors, local communities, and international stakeholders that raise skepticism regarding the credibility, governance, and the actual environmental impact of the carbon trading scheme in Indonesia. Furthermore, Political Ecology theory focuses on the potential challenges, such as fair implementation and preventing the marginalization of vulnerable communities involved in carbon trading practices. Overall, the establishment of a carbon trading market in Indonesia through IDXCarbon marked a revolutionary step in Indonesia’s commitment to combat climate change. Through the comparative analysis of the potential opportunities and challenges in regards to the adaptation of carbon trading in Indonesia, this article argue that the adaptation of carbon trading in Indonesia requires a robust regulatory and environmental ethical framework in order to balance the potential benefits presented by the framework while mitigating the potential challenges that can further hinder the overall benefits of carbon trading.

Abstract

This research investigates how migration infrastructure facilitates worldwide student mobility within the broad scope of higher education internationalization, together with a specific focus on Universitas Mataram, Central Eastern Indonesia. Despite the push for international education through National KPI Universities (IKU) , universities in peripheral regions often face significant architectural obstacles to access the above opportunities. Taking the notion of migration systems, the study examines the ways in which institutional arrangements, actors, and practices interact to shape student mobility experiences. By using migration infrastructure concept,Student mobility and internationalization the analysis shows that during internationalization efforts to facilitate cross-border connectivity, their results are unevenly distributed The occurrence of Universitas Mataram reveals the same constraints and the development of the building of the local educational migration nerve pathway. This study found three-part analysis: a) migration infrastructure for student mobility at University of Mataram, b) pattern and form of student mobility, c) Adaptation of internationalization of higher education by supporting migration infrastructure at University of Mataram. These discoveries add to our understanding of the ways in which periphera.l higher education institutions are able to negotiate national mandates and local difficulties to participate equally at global level.

Abstract

This literature review explores the concept of hegemonic stability in the context of rising global competition between the United States and China. Drawing upon foundational theories of hegemonic stability by scholars such as Robert Keohane, Charles P. Kindleberger, A. F. K. Organski, and Robert Gilpin, alongside Antonio Gramsci’s theory of hegemony, the paper examines how global leadership and stability are maintained through political, economic, and ideological dominance. The review traces the historical evolution of U.S. hegemony and investigates the emerging challenge posed by China's rapid economic growth, global infrastructure investments (notably the Belt and Road Initiative), and increasing international influence. Through a theoretical and empirical analysis, the paper argues that China's ascent marks a shift toward a multipolar world order and raises the question of whether China could potentially displace the United States as the global hegemon. The study concludes by emphasizing the significance of leadership, legitimacy, and consensus in sustaining international stability amid shifting power dynamics.

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.
