Abstract

Thai Boys’ Love has emerged as a powerful medium of cultural diplomacy, shaping Thailand’s image as a progressive and inclusive nation in Southeast Asia. This study examines how queer representation in Thai Boys’ Love is deployed as a tool of soft power in international relations. Using queer theory, media studies, and public diplomacy, the research explores the intersection of popular media narratives, regional reception, and cultural policy. The analysis focuses on three popular Thai Boys’ Love series: Love Sick, 2gether, and KinnPorsche, alongside an online survey of viewers in Indonesia and the Philippines. Findings reveal that queer representation in Thai Boys’ Love tends to be normative and aestheticized, featuring cisgender characters from urban middle-class backgrounds with personal conflicts. Digital distribution strategies and active regional fan communities have amplified the transnational reach of Thai Boys’ Love as a cultural product. This study concludes that Thai Boys’ Love functions as a form of cultural diplomacy, fostering emotional affiliation and positive perceptions of Thailand among regional audiences.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the environmental diplomacy strategies employed by Greenpeace in opposing the mining project in Raja Ampat, Southwest Papua. This area is one of the global marine conservation sites threatened by the exploitation of natural resources carried out by mining companies. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study method, sourcing data from official Greenpeace documents, such as reports, press releases, and campaign publications, relevant national and international journal articles and news, as well as interviews with Greenpeace Indonesia’s Forest Campaigner. The results show that Greenpeace employs four main strategies to maintain environmental diplomacy, such as: (a) media campaigns and global advocacy, (b) alliances with indigenous communities and local NGOs, (c) pressure through international channels, and (d) mobilization of public opinion based on ecological symbols and narratives. These strategies successfully built public pressure on the Indonesian government, resulting in a reevaluation of mining permits and, eventually, the temporary halting of all mining production activities in Raja Ampat.
