Abstract

Public diplomacy has undergone a significant transformation in the digital era, becoming an important instrument in building the country's image on the international stage. This research aims to analyze the evolution of public diplomacy and identify new strategies that can be used by countries to improve their image. By leveraging social media and communication technologies, countries can reach international audiences more directly and build inclusive interactions. Approaches that emphasize positive messages, friendship, and two-way dialogue have proven to be more effective in shaping favorable public opinion. In addition, the challenges arising from the spread of disinformation and narrative competition require adaptation of public diplomacy strategies. The research is expected to provide deeper insights into effective public diplomacy practices, strengthen the role of soft powers, and recommend actions that countries can take to strengthen their international image in an ever-changing global context..

Abstract

Global food security is increasingly threatened by climate change, geopolitical conflicts, and shifting agricultural production patterns. Extreme weather events such as droughts, floods, and irregular rainfall have significant impacts on agricultural productivity, exacerbating food shortages, especially in vulnerable areas. In addition, armed conflicts in countries such as Somalia, South Sudan, Yemen, and Afghanistan further exacerbate food security by disrupting agricultural infrastructure and food distribution systems. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive-analytical methods, utilizing a literature review of academic journals, reports from international organizations, and policy documents. Data analysis was conducted using content analysis and comparative analysis to identify key patterns and strategies in food security across regions. The results show that the climate crisis and armed conflict are key drivers of food insecurity, with direct consequences for food availability, accessibility, and stability. In addition, major global actors, including China, the European Union, and Russia, are using food diplomacy as a strategic tool in international relations, impacting global trade and political stability. Furthermore, technological advances in precision agriculture, artificial intelligence, hydroponics, and smart irrigation have emerged as potential solutions to improve food security, albeit with challenges related to accessibility and implementation costs. Studies show that sustainable food policies, international cooperation, and technology adoption must be prioritized to effectively address food security challenges. Strengthening global trade networks, enhancing climate adaptation strategies, and promoting diplomatic efforts to resolve conflicts are important steps towards a more resilient global food system.

Abstract

This study investigates the dynamics of U.S.–China security rivalry in the South China Sea through a neo-realist perspective using a systematic literature review of recent scholarly work. The findings show that strategic competition between Washington and Beijing is driven primarily by structural pressures of the international system rather than ideological disputes or policy miscalculations. China’s naval modernization, A2/AD capabilities, and island militarization reflect long-term hegemonic aspirations to dominate the regional maritime order, while the United States maintains its Indo-Pacific military posture and expands alliance networks to preserve maritime primacy. International institutions and diplomatic mechanisms have failed to mitigate tensions because both powers prioritize national interests above legal norms and cooperative regimes. The rivalry has widened military coalitions, weakened ASEAN strategic autonomy, and entrenched bipolarity across the Indo-Pacific, indicating that conflict escalation is linked to the distribution of power under anarchy rather than contingent diplomacy. This review concludes that without a fundamental shift in structural power, the South China Sea will remain a focal arena of long-term security competition between the United States and China

Abstract

Technological competition has emerged as one of the most critical dimensions of contemporary global politics. This article examines how technological advancements, particularly artificial intelligence, semiconductors, digital platforms, and green energy technologies have reshaped geopolitical dynamics among the world's major powers. Through a systematic literature review of twenty cutting-edge academic publications, this study identifies four primary arenas of technological competition: (1) digital platform hegemony and data sovereignty; (2) semiconductor supply chains and export controls; (3) green energy transition and critical mineral dependencies; and (4) technological sovereignty and national industrial policy. The findings reveal that US-China technological rivalry has entered a "Tech Cold War" phase with far-reaching implications for the international trading system, global innovation ecosystems, and digital governance frameworks. The implications for developing countries, including Indonesia, are significant, given mounting pressure to choose technological alignments in an increasingly polarized geopolitical landscape.

Abstract

Digital sovereignty has emerged as one of the most contested issues in contemporary international relations, reflecting a new geopolitical competition centered on the control of data, technological infrastructure, and cyberspace. This article examines the concept of digital sovereignty through the lens of international relations theory, analyzing how major actors, particularly the United States, the European Union, China, and emerging economies, construct and contest claims of digital sovereignty in the global arena. Through a systematic review of 20 peer-reviewed journal articles (2021–2024), this study identifies three principal dimensions: (1) normative contestation in the definition of digital sovereignty; (2) data regulation as an instrument of geopolitical power; and (3) internet fragmentation (splinternet) as a consequence of competing sovereignty claims. The findings demonstrate that digital sovereignty is not merely policy rhetoric but a genuine arena of contestation between national security interests, corporate technological dominance, and citizens' digital rights.

Abstract

This article examines the concept of weaponization of interdependence, a strategy whereby state actors exploit global economic interdependence networks as instruments of geopolitical pressure and power. The study analyzes how actors such as the United States, China, and Russia leverage dominance over financial networks, technology supply chains, and energy infrastructure to achieve their foreign policy objectives. Through a qualitative approach employing systematic analysis of recent scholarly literature, the study finds that economic interdependence is no longer neutral but has transformed into a strategic tool in great power competition. These findings carry significant implications for global governance architecture and the economic resilience of developing states

Abstract

This article examines the phenomenon of information warfare in contemporary international relations, focusing on how state and non-state actors exploit digital technologies to influence public perceptions, destabilize democratic institutions, and achieve geopolitical objectives. Through a systematic literature review of leading publications from 2021 to 2024, the study identifies three principal dimensions of modern information warfare: disinformation and social media manipulation, cyber operations against critical infrastructure, and the use of artificial intelligence in cognitive and military decision-making domains. Findings indicate that technological advances, particularly deepfakes, OODA loop automation, and quantum computing, significantly expand the scope and effectiveness of information operations, while defensive mechanisms such as digital literacy and cyber diplomacy continue to face substantial implementation gaps.

Abstract

The proliferation of disinformation in the digital age has fundamentally reshaped the landscape of international relations and global diplomacy. This article examines how post-truth politics, characterized by the systematic subversion of epistemic norms and the weaponization of falsehoods, undermines the liberal international order and erodes trust among state and non-state actors. Drawing on an interdisciplinary synthesis of recent empirical research (2021–2024), we analyze the mechanisms through which disinformation campaigns distort diplomatic communication, destabilize alliances, and exploit democratic vulnerabilities. We further explore state-sponsored disinformation as a tool of geopolitical competition, with particular attention to computational propaganda, deepfakes, and social media manipulation. Our findings suggest that misinformation not only threatens individual democracies but poses systemic risks to multilateral cooperation, international norms, and the epistemic integrity of global governance. We conclude by discussing emerging counter-strategies, including prebunking, media literacy, and institutional transparency frameworks.
