Abstract

Systematic mapping study (SMS) in this article is used to structure a research area and analyzed previous literature in International Relations with a research focus in border areas. The most recent guidelines for systematic mapping were in 2008. Meanwhile, there are needs for researchers including doctoral students to conduct the process of systematic mapping to find out a gap and novelty on research related to border areas. It comprises countries in Europe, America, and Asia, which are still on the limelight of the debates. This article aims to identify how the systematic mapping process is conducted (including search, study selection, analysis, and presentation of data, etc.) and improve potentials in conducting a systematic mapping process and updating the guidelines accordingly. The search was done on Scopus database online. SMS offers an overview and contributions to explore more new subjects in international border areas. It creates a map of current literature and can ensure helpful outcomes in practical use to identify gaps in future research. Researchers can use this study as a reference in conducting International Relations studies especially in developing the topics of border areas.

Abstract

This article examines the activism process in the People’s Republic of China-(PRC) by substantial local civil state actors and local Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in eradicating the custom of gendercide. Gendercide, which determines as gender-based genocide was getting worse after the adoption of the One-Child Policy in 1970s. Thus, this research tries to explain Chinese NGOs advocacy process in building the Transnational Advocacy Networks (TANs) to deliver the case of gendercide in the PRC using the ‘Boomerang Pattern’. Besides analyzing the role of local NGOs, the authors also examine the United Nations (UN) and the European Parliament, hand in hand with the United States (US) as the state actor which involves in the advocacy process. The finding of this research are: 1) Domestic NGOs have carried out numerous actions against the Chinese government by filling the lawsuit of forced abortion to the court and protection by giving a safe house for pregnant women; 2) TANs is created when the domestic NGOs build a network with other INGOs to advocate this gender-based genocide in the PRC; 3) INGOs force the United States, the UN and the member in European Parliament to response the PRC’s government by giving a condemn. As a result, these advocacy works can affect the gendercide policy though influencing the Chinese government’s process of decision making. The policy changed into ‘two-child policy’ from ‘one-child policy’.Keywords: gendercide, transnational advocacy networks, People’s Republic of China.

Abstract

This paper aims to examine the rise of China with the use of Chinese philosophical world concept called ‘all under heaven’ (tianxia). Even though the concept is outdated, it remains vitally important to understand how China behaves and sees the world today. This paper argues that China will continue to rise and reconstruct International Relations as a discipline based on the tianxia perspective with Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) as an instrument to achieve it. This paper finds that not only does BRI help the rise of China in recent years, it also weakens the concept of Westphalia adopted by western countries. This paper contends China will rise peacefully in terms of economic sector, not the military. In addition to this, the U.S. strategy of 'free and open Indo-Pacific' remains weak in responding to BRI as well as containing the rise of China.

Abstract

Semarang City, one of the biggest cities in Indonesia, experienced tidal floods due to climate change, which require systemic responses. The absence of a legal foundation to overcome the effects of climate change has prompted Semarang City Government to formulate a climate change adaptation policy. Mercy Corps – Asian Cities Climate Change Resilience Network (ACCCRN) opens climate change adaptation cooperation by assigning Semarang City as one of the core cities of ACCCRN. This study aims to analyze the climate change adaptation policy-making process in cooperation between Semarang City Government and ACCCRN using vertical and horizontal interactions of multilevel governance approach. This study also uses the indicators of urban climate change adaptation process to identify the elements of climate change adaptation policy in Semarang City. The vertical interactions show that the climate change adaptation negotiations at the international and national levels urge an adaptation policy-making in Semarang City. Meanwhile, in horizontal interactions, Semarang City Government in cooperation with Mercy Corps – ACCCRN tries to formulate an inclusive climate change adaptation policy through Shared Learning Dialogues (SLDs) mechanism. As a result, Semarang City Government produces climate change adaptation policy, namely Semarang Resilience Strategy.

Abstract

This paper discusses discrimination and criminalization of LGBT community due to the government change in Thailand, from absolute to constitutional monarchy. This shift caused changes in the social construction of Thai society, which led to the repression of values and norms in Buddhist beliefs whose culture of tolerance with LGBT people. This condition led the movement of Transnational Advocacy Network to promote equality and justice for LGBT through the legality of LGBT Rights. Therefore, this paper wants to identify and analyze how Transnational Advocacy Network on LGBT issues in Thailand can encourage the legality of LGBT and why this issue can be accepted within Thai society. This case analyzed by using boomerang pattern approach on Transnational Advocacy Network in Thailand. Through this network, the non-government actor in Thailand has made various efforts to encourage LGBT people to achieve equality and urged the Thai government to implement LGBT Rights legality policy through the issuance of gender equality act BE 2558 in 2015. The domestic cultural values concept used in this paper also showed that Thai people started to accept the existence of LGBT community because the values and norms of Buddhist beliefs are in fact, goes hand in hand with the LGBT Rights policy in Thailand. This could mean that values and norms of Buddhist teachings about LGBT which used to be repressed can reappear in the community.

Abstract

Since 2016, there has been a significant increase in the incidence of terrorist attacks in several ASEAN Member States (AMS). In response, Indonesia initiated the formation of an intelligence information exchange cooperation namely Our Eyes Initiative (OEI) to several AMS and communicated that the transnational terrorist network is a common threat. Some are optimistic, this cooperation will result an effective regional integration, while others are sceptical that the condition of the region is still tinged with economic, defence competition and super power states dominance such as China and America so that it affects the cooperation. This study aims to analyze how transnational terrorism encourages AMS to use the transnational communication mechanism from Holzinger and Knill in the OEI cooperation. This research is a part of International Relations studies so that researchers make the traditional realist/neorealist paradigm as a basis in explaining regional conditions. The study use qualitative explanative method. Data collection were obtained through secondary sources and analyzed by means of data comparison, verification and conclusion drawing. So far, the cross-national convergence study has come to the finding that convergence among countries is present due to the influence of regional institution so as to create policy product adopted by each state. However, the authors argue that in the OEI case study is primarily influenced by a common threat so that the state responds and creates a transnational communication mechanism.

Abstract

This article is a critical tracer study of genealogy and development, including debates on the concepts and terminology of developing countries. By applying constructivism perspective, it aims to explain the meaning, categories, and criteria, the emergence and development of the idea, and the reason why these concepts and ideas have been changing from time to time. This article argues that the ontological existence (concepts and ideas) of the developing countries is the result of construction of agents both foreign countries–especially the western–and developing countries themselves. Therefore, the conceptualization of developing countries is inseparable from values and (self-)interest of each country, whether it is political, ideological, or economical. As a result, there must be possibilities of inconsistency from the agent in making categorization. This inconsistency is influenced by the changing of identity, world view, interests, and policies of the agents as an impact of geopolitical and geostrategic change in the world after Cold War. The significant economic and political development which has been experienced by some developing countries and the increasing of economic and political problems faced by some developed countries has forced the agents to reconceptualized their identity, interest, and foreign policy toward what so called developing countries.

Abstract

Whether or not the realm of terrorism has significantly transformed in the past three decades is one of major debates in the field of political violence today. Proponents of new terrorism argue that current terrorists are more religious inspired and lethal, depend less on state’s support and have changed their nature in term of organizational structure. On the other hand, some refuse the idea of new terrorism and, instead, argue that there is only continuity regarding terrorist acts. This paper attempts to clarify the debates through a historical investigation within the history of terrorism and it reveals that characteristics brought by the concept of new terrorism are valid to describe the current status of terrorism. However, by looking at some evidences in terrorism history, this paper also found out that those features are less unique to terrorism operatives nowadays due to the fact that perpetrators’ activities in the past have similar attributes.

Abstract

According to BNP2TKI, Malaysia is the most popular destination country for Indonesian Women Migrant Workers (IWMW), as well as at the top list of IWMW complaints. One of those complaints is regarding the social protection issue. The provision of social protection for IWMW is still limited while it is part of migrant’s rights. The Malaysian government has put some regulations that command its institutions to provide the protections both to its citizens and non-citizens. This study found three big constraints of procuring social protection to IWMW in Malaysia; they were legal barriers, problems in the regulation of Indonesia, and Malaysia immigration policy. In this article, the author analyzed those constraints using feminist theory. This article found that social protection in Malaysia has not fully considered women’s perspectives and experiences while being critical. Furthermore, migration arrangements, both in Indonesia and Malaysia, are also problematic. Those three factors will be discussed in detail using a feminist perspective in looking at the whole problem and the relationship between the patriarchal system and the economy that suppress women.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the diplomacy of quasi-state in a territorial dispute by using the case of Taiwan in the South China Sea. The discussion on quasi-state is not mainstream in International Relations, and thus its concept and theories are not well developed. By the rise of globalization, however, quasi-states have a more active presence and that many parties involved in conflicts which resolutions require understanding on quasi-state, including the South China Sea Disputes. This paper argues that quasi-state suffers from legal and political weaknesses, and consequently, the diplomacy of quasi-state could be examined using theories on the diplomacy of weak states which include multitrack diplomacy to deal with its legal weaknesses and hedging to deal with its political shortcomings. Employing a qualitative method based on primary and secondary sources on Taiwan evolving policy on the South China Sea, this paper found that the diplomacy of Taiwan in the South China Disputes also follows this pattern.
