Abstract

This research is motivated by the Belt and Road Initiative program, which aims to create a new trade route connecting China to various countries using the Silk Route. The project was created through cooperation between China and many countries, including Malaysia. Malaysia rejected the BRI in 2018 but continued with a new agreement. This study aims to determine the impact of the BRI scheme on Malaysia's geopolitics and economy. This research employs two analytical lenses: geopolitics and international cooperation. It examines the regional dynamics that have emerged due to Malaysia's partnership with the BRI and assesses the potential impact of BRI at the domestic level. Qualitative research methods were used, and data was collected through library research. The research indicates that Malaysia's geopolitics have shifted following the implementation of the BRI scheme, resulting in an economic upturn through the utilization of the newly constructed infrastructure. BRI has had a positive impact on Malaysia. Specifically, it has led to an increase in container traffic and contributed to the country's GDP. Additionally, the BRI has helped to develop Malaysia's Eastern region. The results of BRI have affected Malaysia's position in both geopolitical and economic aspects within ASEAN. In conclusion, the BRI has positively impacted Malaysia since its reinstatement in 2018.

Abstract

This research delves into the complexities of social media's role as a platform for communication, examining how it facilitates the spread of radical ideologies while simultaneously serving as a space for deradicalization. Through a comprehensive literature review, the researchers aim to combine existing findings with fresh insights employong qualitative analyses. Central to the study is the application of the Uses and Gratifications Theory (UGT), which posits that users actively select content based on specific needs and desires. By applying UGT, the research seeks to uncover the underlying motivations driving users to engage with extremist content on social media, offering a nuanced perspective on the platform's societal influence and potential implications for policy and platform modifications. The study employing comprehensive literature reviewmethodology, the research collects and analyzes a wide range of scholarly articles, reports, and relevant sources to provide a comprehensive overview of how social media contributes to the disemination of radical views. Based on the findings, Social media platforms, through their algorithm-driven content curation and interactive community structures, create environments where radical ideologies are normalized and amplified within echo chambers, subtly increasing the likelihood of real-world radicalization. Media consumers, guided by the Uses and Gratifications Theory (UGT), actively shape their content experiences on platforms like X, Facebook, and Youtube. However, the platforms’designs and algorithms can inadvertently drive radicalization. Countermeasures, informed by understanding users' motivations via UGT, are crucial to mitigate this, but they must be regularly evaluated for effectiveness. Keywords: dissemination, radical views, social media, UGT

Abstract

Control over resources, actors, and events and outcomes are three of many approaches offered by International Relations studies in terms of measuring power. This paper highlights the crucial role of power measurement in astropolitics, based on the context of the European Union (EU). In particular, it focuses on France's hegemony in the European Space Agency (ESA) using the Hegemonic Stability Theory (HST) to observe the structural power within the ESA. To analyze this, the author uses the regime concept and the theory of hegemonic stability. The research method in this article uses qualitative methods, taking credible sources from various literature such as website articles, mass media, conference publications and scientific articles. This paper reveals that regardless of France’s domination in knowledge and funds, France is not the hegemonic power in the ESA. While an organization is normally featured with domination, this paper argues that power domination in the ESA is dynamically shared among the country members to accomplish a more collaborative rather than dominative feat. This leads to a a solid structure within the ESA and renders power-based domination irrelevant.

Abstract

Indonesia has ambitions to become the center of the world's halal products because of its potential in the halal industry, especially in the food sector. However, currently Indonesia is still only the main destination for other countries' halal product markets when Indonesia should be a major player in the world halal industry. This can be seen in 2020, a gap between the export value of Indonesia's halal products in OIC and the value of import needs for halal products. The OIC, which is the largest Muslim majority group, has great potential as a non-traditional market for the export of Indonesian products. This research aims to find out how economic diplomacy is carried out by Indonesia in increasing exports of halal products through the OIC. Descriptive qualitative research methods are used to collect and analyze data that has been collected regarding economic diplomacy carried out by Indonesia to increase exports of halal products through the OIC. The results of this study show that Indonesia's economic diplomacy has been carried out through product promotion, meetings with relevant stakeholders, and bilateral agreements between Indonesia and OIC member countries. Indonesia cooperates directly with organizations under the OIC such as COMCEC, ICDT, and SMIIC. The form of Indonesia's economic diplomacy that has been maximized well is through product promotion and Indonesia's participation in various forums held by organizations under the OIC, such as discussion forums, seminars, and workshops. As for agreements and negotiations, they are still not fully implemented properly due to several articles in the agreement that are still in the status of further discussion and have not been fully implemented.

Abstract

Abstrak Indonesia berpotensi melanggar komitmen dalam Kesepakatan Paris apabila tidak mengontrol dan memonitor laju deforestasi dengan baik, terutama yang berasal dari sektor pertambangan sebagai faktor pendorong yang signifikan. Artikel ini menganalisis aktivisme digital masyarakat Indonesia dalam merespons sikap Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) dan Muhammadiyah terhadap penawaran pengelolaan Wilayah Izin Usaha Pertambangan Khusus (WIUPK) oleh pemerintah dalam Peraturan Pemerintah No. 25 Tahun 2024. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, penelitian ini mengeksplorasi bagaimana aktivisme digital netizen melalui platform media sosial X (sebelumnya Twitter) dan Instagram menciptakan dampak terhadap posisi NU dan Muhammadiyah pada isu penawaran pengelolaan WIUPK. Posisi NU sejak awal menyambut baik tawaran tersebut. Sementara itu, Muhammadiyah yang awalnya terlihat berhati-hati, akhirnya menyusul NU dan memiliki posisi yang sama. Aktivisme digital yang dilakukan masyarakat Indonesia secara umum menentang keterlibatan organisasi kemasyarakatan keagamaan dalam pengelolaan tambang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa level aktivisme digital masyarakat Indonesia pada isu ini hanya sampai pada level digital spectator activities dan belum dapat mencapai level digital transitional activities maupun digital gladiatorial activities. Pada level digital spectator activities seluruh bentuk aktivitas clicktivism, metavoicing, dan assertion dapat ditemukan. Fungsi yang muncul antara lain affirming, reinforcing, repeating, commending, denouncing, communicating dengan mekanisme identification, visibilization, dan amplification. Dampak dari aktivisme digital ini hanya sebatas perubahan reputasi NU dan Muhammadiyah yang memburuk. Meskipun aktivisme digital telah menciptakan dampak reputasional, mereka belum berhasil mendorong perubahan sikap dari organisasi. Aktivisme ini lebih banyak berperan dalam membentuk citra publik NU dan Muhammadiyah terkait posisi mereka dalam isu pengelolaan tambang daripada mengubah sikap kedua organisasi tersebut untuk tidak begitu saja menerima tawaran pengelolaan tambang. Kata-kata kunci: aktivisme digital, dampak reputasional, digital spectator activities, Muhammadiyah, NU Abstract Indonesia can potentially violate its commitments in the Paris Agreement if it does not adequately control and monitor the rate of deforestation, especially from the mining sector, which is a significant driving factor. This article analyzes the digital activism of Indonesian society in responding to the stance of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Muhammadiyah towards the government's offer to manage Special Mining Business Permit Areas (WIUPK) in Government Regulation No. 25 of 2024. Using a qualitative approach, this study explores how netizens' digital activism through social media platforms X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram impacts NU and Muhammadiyah's positions on the issue of the WIUPK management offer. NU's position from the beginning welcomed the offer. Meanwhile, Muhammadiyah, who initially seemed cautious, finally followed NU and had the same position. Digital activism carried out by Indonesian society generally opposes the involvement of religious community organizations in mining management. The study results show that Indonesian society's digital activism on this issue only reaches the level of digital spectator activities and has not been able to reach the level of digital transitional activities or digital gladiatorial activities. All forms of clicktivism, metavoicing, and assertion activities can be found at the level of digital spectator activities. The emerging functions include affirming, reinforcing, repeating, commending, denouncing, and communicating with identification, visibility, and amplification mechanisms. The impact of this digital activism is limited to changes in the reputation of NU and Muhammadiyah, which have worsened. Although digital activism has created a reputational impact, it has not encouraged a change in attitude in the organization. This activism plays a more significant role in shaping the public image of NU and Muhammadiyah regarding their positions on the issue of mining management than in changing the attitudes of the two organizations, not simply accepting the offer of mining management. Keywords: digital activism, digital spectator activities, Muhammadiyah, NU, reputational impact
