Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence and dynamics of the Vatican's moral authority as religious institutionalism on the global agenda for child protection through the forum “World Leaders Summit on Children's Rights.” This issue is relevant given the high rates of violence against children globally and the need for collaboration among cross-national actors in global governance. A qualitative approach was used through case study methods to explore the Vatican's public diplomacy strategies, religious diplomacy, and utilization of international institutional mechanisms. Data were collected by analyzing official Vatican documents, international organization reports, media archives, and academic literature published between 2020 and 2025. Data analysis was conducted using source triangulation and theory to ensure validity. The findings indicate that the Vatican plays a practical and strategic role as a norm entrepreneur with its dual role as a sovereign state and religious authority by combining moral legitimacy, religious symbols, and diplomatic networks to shape norms and policies for child protection. The effectiveness of this role depends on moral credibility, the ability to build cross-cultural coalitions, and inclusive communication strategies. This study contributes theoretically to developing religion-based diplomacy studies and practically provides a model of universal value advocacy for policymakers and international organizations.

Abstract

The Moro conflict in the Southern Philippines is rooted in postcolonial structural marginalization and failed integration, posing a serious threat to Philippine national identity. The purpose of this study is to analyze the Moro conflict as a threat to national identity and its impact on ASEAN political cohesion, using Benedict Anderson's Imagined Communities Theory framework. The method used is a qualitative literature study approach, as data collection utilized secondary data analysis from credible journals and academic documents. The results show that the failure of the Philippine national narrative to create bonds of equal solidarity, as envisioned by Anderson, has triggered the emergence of a separate "Bangsamoro" superordinate identity that rejects a homogeneous Filipino identity. This identity polarization has given rise to a separatist generation of the MNLF, MILF, and the radical Abu Sayyaf group. Regionally, this conflict threatens ASEAN cohesion through security spillover and transnational criminality in the Sulu Sea, forcing ASEAN to develop collective security cooperation mechanisms, such as the Trilateral Maritime Patrol. Conflict resolution through the implementation of the Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL) is considered crucial for strengthening Philippine national integrity and maintaining regional stability.

Abstract

This study analyzes how the United Nations (UN) constructs the issue of artificial intelligence (AI) as part of international security through a constructivist approach. In recent years, AI has developed rapidly and raised global concerns regarding technological misuse, disinformation, and potential threats to political stability and human rights. This phenomenon has driven the emergence of various global governance initiatives, including discussions at the UN Summit of the Future 2025. Using qualitative methods and constructivist discourse analysis, this research examines official documents, speeches by the Secretary-General, and reports from institutions such as UNIDIR, WEF, and OECD. The analysis is conducted through three stages: description, interpretation, and explanation. The findings reveal that the concept of “AI security” does not arise naturally from the nature of the technology itself but is shaped through social processes and normative discourses among global actors. The UN acts as a norm entrepreneur promoting the values of responsible AI and collective security, while states interpret these norms according to their own identities and interests. Thus, AI security is a social construct reflecting the interaction between ideas, interests, and identities within the international system. This study contributes to the strengthening of non-traditional security studies by demonstrating how technological issues can be understood as arenas for the formation of global norms and state political identities.

Abstract

This study examines the role of AUKUS in Australia’s export market diversification strategy following China’s trade sanctions in 2021. Diplomatic tensions between the two nations led to restrictions on key Australian exports such as coal, barley, and wine, significantly affecting the national economy. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this research analyzes Australia’s policies to expand its export markets toward alternative partners such as India, Japan, and South Korea, while assessing AUKUS’s contribution to economic resilience through defense cooperation, technological collaboration, and strategic investments. The findings reveal that AUKUS serves not only as a defense alliance but also as an instrument of economic diplomacy that strengthens Australia’s ties with Western allies, fosters new investment opportunities, and supports its foreign policy autonomy in the Indo-Pacific region. Therefore, AUKUS plays a crucial role in maintaining Australia’s economic and political stability amid growing global geopolitical competition.

Abstract

This article examines Timor Leste’s foreign policy strategy for becoming a full member of ASEAN between 2019 and 2025. Timor Leste, a recently independent small power with limited institutional, political, and economic capacity, adopted adaptable and accommodating strategies to meet ASEAN standards and expectations. This study employs a qualitative method based on a review of the literature and document analysis, guided by John P. Lovell’s Strategic Foreign Policy framework, to assess how national capability and external strategic dynamics affect state behavior. The results show that Timor Leste continuously applied Concordance and Accommodation Strategies, as evidenced by proactive diplomacy with ASEAN members, bureaucratic strengthening, and political reforms. Despite structural shortcomings, Timor Leste improved domestic stability through bilateral cooperation, labor mobility, and exports. Diplomatically, the country expanded its regional presence by opening embassies, joining ASEAN forums, and following the Roadmap for Full Membership. All these concerted steps at play helped reduce skepticism, particularly that of Singapore and Laos over the preparedness of Timor Leste. By 2025, ASEAN finally accepted Timor Leste as its eleventh member, after a decade-long journey of integration. This research contributes a comprehensive evaluation of the strategic foreign policy of Timor Leste during a critical temporal phase hitherto underexamined in the literature. Furthermore, it displays the importance of adaptive strategies for a small state seeking regional legitimacy within a complex geopolitical environment.

Abstract

This study examines how Singapore's hedging strategy amid US-China competition manifests its strategic culture of vulnerability. Through qualitative descriptive analysis of policy documents and elite speeches from 2010-2024, the research identifies two complementary dimensions: hard hedging through institutionalized security cooperation with the United States, and soft hedging through economic integration with China and multilateral diplomacy via ASEAN platforms. The findings demonstrate that Singapore's hedging is not merely tactical response but a systematic manifestation of its deeply embedded vulnerability narrative. By maintaining credible defense capabilities while pursuing economic diversification, Singapore transforms structural weakness into strategic innovation, navigating great power rivalry through sophisticated dual engagement that preserves autonomy and ensures survival.
