Abstract

The Gaza Strip faces a severe and ongoing humanitarian crisis, shaped by decades of military occupation by Israel, political instability, economic collapse, and a comprehensive blockade. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of international humanitarian aid in Gaza and to assess the impact of foreign humanitarian interventions on local realities through a qualitative case study, using document analysis of UN reports, donor data, academic literature, and media sources from 2022 to 2025. The findings expose a stark disconnect between international aid commitments and their actual impact on the ground. Although donor states pledged significant funding, humanitarian access was systematically obstructed, averaging just 5 out of 500 essential aid trucks entering Gaza daily in May 2025, a 99% shortfall that crippled food, health, and WASH responses. Furthermore, only 9.8% of pooled-fund grants reached local NGOs in 2024, reflecting entrenched power asymmetries in aid distribution, strategic planning, and risk allocation. These figures point to a humanitarian system that remains externally driven and politically constrained. Drawing on Humanitarianism and Localization Theories, the study concludes that aid effectiveness requires not just resources, but structural reforms namely, direct funding to local actors, inclusive planning mechanisms, and monitored enforcement of access and neutrality commitments.

Abstract

This research analyzes the incremental model transformation in Qatar’s Kafala system, which has been in the international spotlight since the country was selected to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The qualitative method applied in this research is desk research, analyzing data from documents and obtaining related data by summarizing historical economic reforms to create timelines and figures. This study explores transforming the Kafala system into a de-Kafala system due to pressure from international organizations such as the ILO and FIFA. The reforms undertaken included the abolition of exit permits and the implementation of a minimum wage. However, previous research has mostly focused on demonstrating Qatar’s efforts to improve its image on the global scene. However, the results were still incremental and insubstantial, thus unable to address the problem of systemic human rights violations against migrant workers. Despite international attention and support, policy reforms seem aimed more at defusing criticism and maintaining economic stability than at addressing migrant rights issues. This research concludes that the incremental model implemented by the Qatari Government needs to be more effective in addressing humanitarian issues rather than merely meeting international obligations arising from hosting the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Abstract

This study investigates the evolving geopolitical rivalry between Iran and Israel by analyzing the interdependent roles of spatial strategy, proxy warfare, and alliance formation. It aims to explain how geography, military networks, and ideological narratives coalesce to sustain conflict in the Middle East. Employing a qualitative case study approach, the research integrates narrative analysis, geospatial mapping, and documentary interpretation. Data sources include government statements, satellite imagery, open-source intelligence, and scholarly literature. The findings reveal that Iran’s strategic behavior is rooted in its access to key maritime chokepoints, its support for territorially embedded proxies, and its multi-vector alliances with global powers. Israel counters through infrastructural control in the Eastern Mediterranean, forward military doctrine, and regional normalization agreements. The analysis further uncovers how both states utilize spatialized narratives to legitimize their actions and project deterrence. Additionally, cyber operations emerge as a non-territorial extension of conflict, enabling both actors to influence adversaries without confrontation. This research contributes new theoretical and methodological perspectives by integrating physical and discursive geographies into a unified explanatory model. The study provides a scalable framework for analyzing hybrid conflicts and offers strategic insights relevant to regional diplomacy, defense planning, and security governance.

Abstract

This study discusses how Islamic da'wah intersects with political thought and governance. Previous studies have not addressed Islamic political ethics or specific movements, and few have systematically mapped the broader intellectual landscape. This study used a bibliometric approach based on 134 Scopus-indexed publications from 2010 to 2024, complemented by qualitative content analysis, to identify thematic trends and conceptual frameworks. The findings indicated that da'wah functions not only as a spiritual mission but also as a medium for political ethics, the realization of high-quality public policies, public mobilization, and the integration of Islamic principles into governance. This study concluded that da'wah functions not only as a spiritual mission but also as a discursive and transformative force that influences models of governance, political participation, and public awareness in the Muslim world.

Abstract

Since the end of 2023, the Israeli genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza has attracted the attention of the international community to get involved in stopping this atrocity in various ways. Various responses supporting Palestine come from diverse identities and backgrounds. However, in the midst of the boisterous support for Palestine, the governments of Arab countries around Palestine, with inherent identities that are deeply attached to Palestine, show a stance that tends to be silent and unmoved. This research seeks to answer the related question, ‘Why are Arab countries reluctant and passive in helping the Palestinians under Israeli genocide?’ This question will be elaborated using a constructivist approach and processed with qualitative research methods. This research shows several findings, including: First, despite having a very close identity, the current Arab governments do not show the same level of support as in their previous stance. Second, modern Arab governments increasingly place national interests above collective identity. In general, this paper concludes that the changing priorities of Arab states are due to shifting identity, the degradation of modern Arab identity brought about by the fragmentation of Arab societies along nation-state boundaries.

Abstract

This study analyses the implementation of integrated public diplomacy through the Korea Week 2023 program in Indonesia within the framework of a middle-power state. The study utilises the five elements of public diplomacy identified by Nicholas J. Cull: listening, advocacy, cultural diplomacy, exchange diplomacy, and international broadcasting, employing a qualitative descriptive approach based on secondary sources. The findings indicated that Korea Week does not focus on creating new cultural appeal, but rather on consolidating existing soft power. The practice of listening capitalises on the high level of enthusiasm among the Indonesian public for Korean culture. Advocacy is integrated into economic and digital forums. Cultural diplomacy is realised through performances and culinary activities. Exchange diplomacy encourages active participation, whilst international broadcasting expands reach through digital media. The integration of these five elements demonstrates a middle-power state's ability to transform popularity into sustainable diplomatic capital. This study confirmed that event-based diplomacy can function as a strategy for managing soft power, rather than merely as image projection. These findings also indicate that diplomatic influence is maintained through the synchronisation of culture, policy, and narrative, thereby strengthening legitimacy and strategic partnerships without coercion.

Abstract

This article analyzes Indonesian and Philippine film policies and interprets their orientations toward protecting and improving the welfare of film workers. This article also aims to offer policy development to the Indonesian government based on lessons learned from the Eddie Garcia Law in the Philippines. This research enhances the application of the “Inspiration” and “Emulation” indicators within Policy Transfer theory as an analytical tool to identify potential for knowledge transfer and the evolution of more humanistic norms for safeguarding film workers in the national film industry. This article used a qualitative research approach, with a literature review as a data collection technique and NVivo 12 for data processing, analysis, and visualization. The findings indicated that the Eddie Garcia Law contains important and specific provisions that support the welfare and protection of film workers. In contrast, Indonesian film policy does not specifically address their welfare. This article offers an innovative policy in the format of a checklist model that the Indonesian government might utilize as a tool for pre-production film feasibility assessment, with evaluation criteria adapted from the analysis of the Eddie Garcia Law.

Abstract

This study examines how integrating Islamic values, particularly halalan tayyiban, with vegan and cruelty-free principles in beauty products can serve as a tool to address islamophobia. Using a qualitative research design, this paper combines document analysis with expert consultations from halal certified advisors, academics, government regulatory bodies (BPJPH), industry associations (PERKOSMI), and leading halal beauty brand (Wardah), supplemented by exploratory consumer insights from 100 respondents across Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore, including 41 non-Muslim consumers from Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, and Confucian backgrounds. Situates within the frameworks of soft power, cultural diplomacy, and ethical consumerism. The findings reveal that halal beauty products, when aligned with global ethical trends such as sustainability and animal welfare, transcend their commercial role and act as cultural ambassadors, projecting a positive image of Islamic values. Consumer data indicate that 70% of respondents agreed halal products can shift perceptions of Islam, with non-Muslim consumers showing favorable attitudes when halal is framed through universal ethical narratives rather than religious signaling. Expert consultations confirm that while Indonesia faces governance challenges, limiting its global halal market share to 3.6%, industry stakeholders increasingly view halal certification as a competitive advantage that shapes international supply chain standards. The study concludes that halal beauty diplomacy operates through gradual, cumulative influence rather than dramatic perception shifts, and offers recommendations for policymakers, certification bodies, and industry stakeholders to expand the global presence of Islamic value-based beauty products as instruments of peace, inclusivity, and prejudice reduction.
