Abstract

The Chinese region has a diversity of tribes and cultures that are rarely known internationally. One of them is the Uyghurs which has recently received international attention. After Xinjiang was appointed as an autonomous region of China, relations between the Chinese government and the Uyghurs deteriorated since the emergence of the nationalist movement which made the situation in Xinjiang even more insecure. These nationalist movements include terrorism, separatism, and religious extremism. The purpose of this study is to provide another perspective in looking at the Xinjiang conflict which is from the point of view of the Chinese government. This study uses qualitative methods with secondary data sources, which are then analyzed using the concepts of National Interest, Hegemony, Conflict Dynamics, and theories of Conflict Causes. The results of this research indicate that the efforts of the Chinese government in maintaining hegemony in Xinjiang province are not for religious or cultural discrimination as is known by the international world, but rather are aimed at strengthening national interest namely maintaining regional security and preventing the development of nationalist movements by establishing the establishment of a Center for Education and Training Work

Abstract

Experiencing rapid economic growth backed by high-level leadership support, China exerts tight political influence and information control by using a new approach sharp power, encompassing strong economic fabric, political integrity, global transfer of people and knowledge. To compete in international competition—China has been using redistribution method to contest its power politics upon conducting collective repression on flouting democratic reform in Hong Kong, ethnic minority assimilation—Tibetan and Uighur, and One China Policy against Taiwan, to global campaign to dominate influence by political, economic and technological representations. The actions deliberately carry underlaying goals to define economic prosperity with the expense of political freedom. This research paper aims to deliberate key points on China’s endeavours to strengthen political power both internally and internationally with the averse to govern democracy—and construction on world politics by using economic power mostly in the cultural and technology inventories. This study used qualitative method through data collection techniques based on internet observation and library research. The using of sharp power concept as a novel approach coined by independent think tank National Endowment Democracy is conceived to delineate deep understanding on China’s political power by engaging other two underlying concepts as reinforcing instruments which support sharp power concept. The results of this research which shows China’s strategies are alternatively institutionalised through the emergence of economic assistance, technology, and socio-cultural instruments.

Under the One Belt One Road scheme, China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a series of massive infrastructure project that are under construction in Pakistan that consists of transportation network construction, energy projects, storage facilities, port, SEZs, and other elements under the CPEC banner worth 46 Billion US$. But the CPEC projects came at a huge risk for Pakistan, as the investment aid from China came in the form of a loan, and the and that the security of CPEC projects are under threat from separatist groups like the BLA. This research’s purpose is to find out the reason behind Pakistan's agreement to conduct a bilateral cooperation with China under the CPEC projects in the period of 2015-2020. This research would employ the liberalism paradigm as the analytic tool. This study hypothesizes that the reason for Pakistan's willingness to cooperate with China is the existence of its domestic economic interests despite of its controversies. The results of this study indicate that Pakistan does have a strong desire to develope its domestic economy, while CPEC plays an important role in this process. In addition, the CPEC was also viewed by Pakistan as a cooperation that could support this country to achieve the Pakistan Vision 2025.

Abstract

Crimea is an area that has been led by many countries, but since 1954 Crimea was given to Ukraine. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia has been trying to take over Crimea so that it could return to Russia. This finally happened after the chaos in Ukraine appeared in 2013, which was caused by the Ukrainian leader that he would suspend talks on the Association Agreement. Utilizing the chaos, in early 2014 there was a sudden referendum in Crimea. The result of the referendum that the Crimean people’s wanted to join Russia received a lot of criticism because it was considered violating international law so it considered annexing Crimea. The European Union then imposed economic sanctions on Russia in 2014. The purpose of this study is to find out the reasons why the European Union still maintains economic sanctions even though they do not have a large impact on Russia. This research is explanative type research and is classified as qualitative research using the Congruence Analysis method through literature study. To analyze the case, the concepts of identity and norms in the theory of constructivism will be used. The results of this study indicate that the reasons behind the EU economic sanctions are still maintained because Russia has not fully implemented the Minsk Agreement and the interests of the European Union uphold their commitment to identity as an organization committed to peace. However, EU economic sanctions do not have a big impact on Russia because EU member states still depend on oil and gas from Russia, so economic sanctions are only in the form of restrictions. This needs to be further evaluated by the European Union so that sanctions can be effective and make Russia change its policy towards Crimea.
