Abstract

In early April 2021, China had contributed a vital role in the Covid-19 vaccine export. With the national pharmaceutical company Sinovac and Sinopharm China capable of producing over 250 million doses of vaccine, 118 million have been successfully exported to 49 countries according to Airfinity. The world distribution of the covid-19 vaccine has been deemed a failure by the WHO, from 448 million global doses only 0.1 percent of the vaccine were administered to low-income countries, and rich countries which hold 16 percent of the world's population receiving nearly half a global dose. China is able to answer the world's frustration with the western nationalism vaccine issue, as the EU and USA failed to help low-income countries to provide vaccine access. The nationalism vaccine discourages equality, as 200 million doses of vaccine produced by the United States government had approximately exported only about 4 million doses to other countries. This paper will answer how China gains global geopolitics through vaccine diplomacy? What is the role of diplomacy in promoting China's influence? Currently China focuses on expanding its influence over Asia and South America through vaccine diplomacy, under the BRI initiative this policy is then called the Health Silk Road. Keywords: Health Silk Road, Vaccine Diplomacy, Sinovac, Sinopharm

Abstract

The trade liberalization of domestic salt sector in Indonesia indicated by tarriff reduction faced pros and contras. By using the concept of two-level games and governmental process, the authors found that there was a political upheaval of actors both from bureaucrats and interest groups adorning the political process in salt liberalization in Indonesia. Political upheaval occurred due to the tug of war between the pro and the cons. The pros, represented by Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Trade, importers and mafias supported imports of salt to meet domestic needs that cannot be fulfilled by domestic salt productions, both in quality and quantity. On the other hand, the cons represented by the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries and salt farmers both from associations and from non-associations demanded salt import reduction to support the domestic salt production program and the sustainability of the domestic salt industries.KeyWords: Liberalization of Domestic Salt, Two Level Games, Governmental Process, Political Upheaval, Tug of War.

Abstract

Environmental policy has become an important aspect of reviewing international relations environmental issues. The European Union is a regional institution that has been very active in international environmental cooperation. However, at the same time, the European Union is one of the largest waste exporters to countries in Asia, including Indonesia. Waste export is a free trade mechanism that allows developed countries to send waste to developing countries to be processed as industry materials. This then becomes contradictory to the commitment of the European Union in promoting environmentally friendly policies, and policies for the export of waste are considered as a form of ecoimperialism. This article discusses how the waste export policy by the European Union has become a form of ecological colonization for Indonesia as a waste recipient.

Abstract

Japan faced racist issues and it impacts the society. Which is crucial since society play an important role in a country. Therefore are there any efforts coming from the government of Japan and NGOs to solve this problem? Knowing the efforts made by both governments and NGOs to combat racism could help increase accountability, transparency, and public trust in these organizations and the initiatives they undertake. The primary data in this study were obtained from the results of interviews conducted by the authors of the informants, while the secondary data was in the form of documents and journals that were relevant and could support the research. The government does provide facilities such as consulting services for foreigners to report racist acts they experienced. The government and NGOs initiate a campaign in the form of a billboard. It is considered not effective and has little impact. On the other hand, the Japanese government has begun to socialize by giving some advice to companies in Japan to provide a Japanese language learning medium to train foreign workers. Based on the results of the research, most of our informants stated that the efforts made by the Japanese government and NGOs aren’t enough. The Japanese government and NGOs should consider bigger efforts to eliminate racism in their society. Keywords: Racism, Japan, Government, NGOs

Suicide has been a long-time national problem for Japan as they hold the record for country with highest suicide rate according to WHO and the problem continues as of current. COVID - 19 which impacted most nation throughout the world including Japan, has a hand in influencing the increase of suicide rate in Japan. This increase is particularly evident in groups of youth and women who are among the most vulnerable groups in Japan, thus calls for more comprehensive sets of policy for suicide prevention. Currently there are prevention policies existing curRently. Among them there is a policy called NOCOMIT-J that will be the focus of this article. However, the rapid increase of suicide in pandemic time proves that there is an urgent need to improve the policy to suits the complexity of the situation. This paper aims to assess the variables behind the increase of suicide rates in Japan particularly for youth and women in order to use it as a basis calculation to improve the existing suicide prevention policy to focus on the group-specific problems. This paper will use qualitative method of descriptive case studies to analyze the unique factor contributing to women and youth suicide cases in pandemic time and use the result to suggest improvements for NOCOMIT-J policy by analyzing it in the established  framework of holistic global mental health policy.

Abstract

ABSTRACT In June 2020 Chinese Government officially enacted the National Security Act in Hong Kong. The UK saw the act as a serious breach of the 1997 Sino-British Joint Declaration. In response, the UK issued a new visa scheme for British National (Overseas) holders. The new scheme provides Hong Kong residents holding BNO status with a residence permit of up to 5 years and permission to apply for British citizenship. This research will describe how the UK uses migration policy in correlation to diplomacy through this phenomenon. The concept to be used is migration diplomacy by looking at aspects of the definition, categories, and objectives of the new BNO visa scheme. As a result, this research finds that the UK uses migration policy as a tool of diplomacy with China by positioning itself as a receiving country. The implementation of migration diplomacy by the UK in the BNO visa scheme aims for economic gain, related to bilateral relations with China, and promoting Global Britain.

Abstract

Apart from their advanced technological innovation and development, Japan is also known for its support towards its disability community. However, Japan has a long and interesting history behind it as it initially, and to some degree in the present, did not appear that way. Filled with discrimination and even ostracization, Japan has gone a long distance to its present supportive treatment. By using the qualitative research method based on secondary data, the article aims to shed light to 4 issues. First, the article begins by laying out Japan’s background regarding their treatment towards the disability community. Here, it can be seen how in the past they were subjected to confinement and discrimination. Moving on, a discussion over the changes of treatment towards them by the government is provided. The changes can be attributed to the government’s rational move to uphold human security, strive towards a more inclusive society, and preparation towards huge events like the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics. The way the government made such changes is through the securitization or speech act. Eventually, the changes materialised into many forms, from the supportive bills/laws all the way to infrastructure adjustments that would ease access for people with disabilities on the field. Finally, for the implications brought about by the changes, it can be seen in how the environment are more accessible for people with disability and how it can work as a public diplomacy attempt as apparent in the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics. Keywords: Human Security, Inclusive Society, Japan, Disability.

Abstract

As a developed country, Japan is not immune to difficulties. Hyper-aged population, economic stagnation, and gender inequality are some of the crucial issues. The presence of the Womenomics policy in 2013 as an effort to empower women in Japan is one of the Japanese government's solutions to mitigate the problem of hyper-aged population, economic stagnation, and gender disparity. This research aims to discover and examine the challenges of the 21st century in Japan, particularly the subject of women's empowerment and its correlation with economic growth. The descriptive qualitative case study research method was applied to examine the political goods within the Womenomics policy. With a public policy approach, the study's findings represent Japan's efforts to implement an gender-based innovative policy that allows Japanese women to access equal opportunities in social, political, education, and economic sectors to increase the labour force number as the growth strategy to mitigate the impact of the hyper-aged population in Japan. This policy shows that Japanese women have grown in the workplace, however many challenges still occur to tackle the gender-biased paradigm in Japanese society, such as wage-gap problems.

Abstract

Japan is a super-aged society. The combination of high life expectancy and low fertility rates leads to a decreasing population. The situation is so chronic that at the extreme consequences, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida warned Japan was "on the brink of not being able to function as a society." Based on this issue, the article aims to discuss and examine how Japan's demographic crisis affects diversity and social inclusion in economic, social, and political life and what policies should be enforced to create a more diverse and inclusive society in Japan. It is an important topic as no existing literature comprehensively examines how the aging society directly impacts diversity and social inclusion. This paper uses the concept of shrinkanomics, which describes the troublesome economic development in Japan due to its shrinking population, and the theory of inclusive social development, which emphasizes that sustainable development can only be achieved if all members of a society are included. This paper argues that an aging society significantly impacts the political issue of strict immigrant policies and Japan's identity, the economic gap between generations, and the social issue of the healthcare system. To address these issues, the authors argue that there is a need for sustainable policy by pursuing a proactive approach to immigration, enhancing public-private partnerships to promote inclusive economic innovation, and strengthening the home and community-based care system. Keywords: Aging society; diversity; inclusivity; Japan; shrinkanomics.
