Abstract

Corruption has long been recognized as a persistent social phenomenon. Still, since the latter half of the twentieth century, it has increasingly manifested as a malignant global challenge, threatening not only economic growth but also cultural integrity and social morality. In many countries, corruption undermines the foundations of governance, erodes public trust, and obstructs sustainable development. This article provides an overview of the manifestations, scale, and detrimental consequences of corruption for social progress, with a specific focus on recent developments in Vietnam. Despite continuous policy efforts and institutional reforms, the author argues that the overall effectiveness of anti-corruption initiatives remains limited. The core problem lies in the insufficient intensity and comprehensiveness of current measures, which fail to generate transformative outcomes. Drawing on both theoretical perspectives and empirical observations, the article emphasizes that a breakthrough in anti-corruption requires a more rigorous approach—particularly through the consistent and strict punishment of corrupt individuals. The author highlights that sanctions should be applied impartially, with special attention to cases involving Party members and public officials, since their misconduct severely damages state credibility. By underlining the urgency of decisive legal enforcement, the study contributes to the broader discourse on strengthening the rule of law and enhancing the effectiveness of anti-corruption strategies in transitional societies.

Abstract

The growing rivalry between the United States and China represents a major strategic challenge in contemporary International Relations, with significant implications for regional stability in Asia. Scholars such as Hugh White warn that the absence of a cooperative relationship between the two powers may lead to long-term instability, affecting regional actors, including Australia. Caught between its security alliance with the United States and its deep economic interdependence with China, Australia faces a complex strategic dilemma. While the United States remains Australia’s primary security partner, China has become its largest trading partner, placing Australia in a vulnerable position amid intensifying great power competition. Using a qualitative literature review, this article examines Australia’s potential role in facilitating improved US-China relations while balancing its strategic and economic interests. It argues that Australia must adopt a nuanced and proactive strategy to manage great power rivalry and safeguard its national interests

Abstract

This article examines how global terrorism concerns are translated into domestic legal norms through an intermestic lens and the capillarity of ideas. The capillarity of ideas refers to the subtle flow of policy ideas, standards, and practices from international arenas into domestic governance via policy networks, epistemic communities, technical assistance, media, and law enforcement institutions. Using a normative socio-legal approach and document analysis, the study addresses three issues. First, the global counter terrorism architecture, including United Nations Security Council resolutions, the United Nations strategy, and risk assessment standards. Second, the capillary channels that shape legal definitions, mandates, and enforcement procedures. Third, the rule of law consequences that arise when preventive and security logics expand state powers. Drawing on Indonesia as an illustrative case, the article argues that zero attack narratives and declining arrests do not automatically eliminate the risk of eroding legality, accountability, and rights protection, particularly in areas such as early intervention, digital surveillance, and the expanding role of security actors. The article proposes a rule of law assessment framework and policy design safeguards to strike a balance between the effectiveness of prevention and the need for legal certainty, judicial control, and social recovery for victims and vulnerable groups.

Abstract

Energy Security can be described as a concept that ensures the amount of energy supply needed by a country is sufficient to encourage development and maintain the welfare of its people. The purpose of this study is to analyze the implications of conflicts that occur in the South China Sea region on countries around the region to obtain and fulfill their country's energy security. The method used in this research is a qualitative method based on the Regional Security Complex theory. The results of this research indicate that the ongoing conflict in the South China Sea region is a hindrance for the surrounding countries to explore the natural resources stored in the region.

Abstract

This article examines the continuity and evolution of Indonesia's 'free and active' (bebas-aktif) foreign policy from its constitutional foundations to its articulation under President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) and Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa. The purpose of this study is to explain the constitutional and ideological basis of Indonesia's foreign policy, the centrality of ASEAN within it, the domestic institutional factors that shape it, and how the doctrine was reinterpreted through the metaphors of "navigating a turbulent ocean" and "dynamic equilibrium." This study employs a qualitative descriptive method based on library and documentary research, drawing on primary legal and political documents as well as secondary academic literature. The findings show that Indonesia's foreign policy is anchored in the Preamble of the 1945 Constitution, that ASEAN functions as an indispensable diplomatic and security buffer, that Commission I of the House of Representatives has become an increasingly influential domestic actor since the enactment of Law No. 37/1999, and that the Yudhoyono-Natalegawa era reaffirmed rather than abandoned the bebas-aktif principle by adapting it to a more multipolar regional order. The article further situates these findings in relation to more recent scholarship to show that the doctrine has persisted, in adapted form, into the Jokowi and Prabowo presidencies. This study is limited by its reliance on documentary sources rather than primary interviews and does not provide a comprehensive comparative assessment of Indonesian foreign policy after 2014. Keywords: ASEAN centrality; bebas-aktif; foreign policy; Indonesia; Natalegawa Doctrine Abstrak Artikel ini mengkaji kesinambungan dan perkembangan politik luar negeri Indonesia yang "bebas dan aktif" (bebas-aktif), mulai dari landasan konstitusionalnya hingga artikulasinya pada masa Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) dan Menteri Luar Negeri Marty Natalegawa. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menjelaskan dasar konstitusional dan ideologis politik luar negeri Indonesia, sentralitas ASEAN di dalamnya, faktor kelembagaan domestik yang membentuknya, serta bagaimana doktrin tersebut dimaknai ulang melalui metafora "mengarungi lautan yang bergejolak" dan "keseimbangan dinamis". Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif berbasis studi pustaka dan dokumen, dengan memanfaatkan dokumen hukum dan politik primer serta literatur akademik sekunder. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa politik luar negeri Indonesia berakar pada Pembukaan UUD 1945, bahwa ASEAN berfungsi sebagai penyangga diplomatik dan keamanan yang tidak tergantikan, bahwa Komisi I DPR RI menjadi aktor domestik yang semakin berpengaruh sejak berlakunya UU No. 37/1999, dan bahwa era Yudhoyono-Natalegawa menegaskan kembali, bukan meninggalkan prinsip bebas-aktif dengan mengadaptasinya pada tatanan regional yang lebih multipolar. Artikel ini juga menempatkan temuan tersebut dalam kajian yang lebih baru untuk menunjukkan bahwa doktrin ini tetap bertahan, dalam bentuk yang disesuaikan, hingga era Jokowi dan Prabowo. Penelitian ini memiliki keterbatasan karena bertumpu pada sumber dokumenter dan bukan wawancara primer, serta belum memberikan penilaian komparatif yang menyeluruh atas politik luar negeri Indonesia setelah 2014. Kata kunci: bebas-aktif; Doktrin Natalegawa; Indonesia; politik luar negeri; sentralitas ASEAN

Abstract

Christian Zionism has become one of the most influential religious-political ideologies shaping Western support for Israel, particularly in the United States. This article examines how Christian Zionist beliefs have contributed to the persistence of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict by providing theological and political legitimacy for unconditional support of Israel. Employing a qualitative literature review and historical analysis, the study traces the origins of Christian Zionism from the Protestant Reformation through nineteenth-century dispensationalism and explores its theological foundations, including Biblical Zionism and Dispensationalist Zionism. The findings demonstrate that Christian Zionist interpretations of biblical prophecy encourage political mobilization, financial assistance, and lobbying efforts in support of Israeli policies while reinforcing anti-Islamic narratives that deepen polarization and hinder prospects for peace. The study argues that the fusion of religious doctrine with foreign policy has transformed a territorial dispute into a broader religious and ideological confrontation, making conflict resolution increasingly difficult. It concludes that sustainable peace requires reframing the Israeli–Palestinian conflict as a political and territorial dispute rather than a theological struggle, while reducing external ideological intervention that perpetuates mutual hostility. This analysis highlights the significant role of transnational religious ideology in influencing international politics and the dynamics of protracted conflict.
