Abstract

This research aimed to describe the political map of the European Union (EU) in expanding its territory after the fall of the Berlin Wall. EU never granted membership status with special assistance to any country before. However, Bulgaria had received special membership assistance called the Cooperation and Verification Mechanism (CVM). The granting of this membership status was controversial because it was given when Euroscepticism was on its peak. Member countries such as the United Kingdom, Netherlands, and Germany considered that granting different membership status to fulfill the EU’s standards would aggravate the institutional performance. This case employed The Gains Of EU Enlargement to analyze what interests the EU wanted to gain in providing CVM assistance to Bulgaria. This approach explained, the EU wants to accelerate the Europeanization process of Bulgaria to reach the stabilization of European region security both internally and externally. However, external interests dominate the most, in order that EU can control the influence of Russia to Bulgaria. So, Bulgaria’s membership makes Russia unable to use its former ally as a propaganda tool to interfere in European affairs, especially regarding Russia's imported gas policy towards Europe.

Abstract

As a political actor, non-governmental organizations have an essential role in the environmental sector. This paper aims to discuss the role of Greenpeace in driving HSBC’s non-deforestation policy in Indonesia. To address deforestation in Indonesia, Greenpeace is pressing HSBC to stop funding and implement a “zero deforestation” policy. In conducting the analysis, the researcher utilized the concept of NGOs and green theory. The concept of NGOs was used to classify Greenpeace as an organization and analyze the role of the organization in the process of making HSBC’s non-deforestation policy. While the green theory was used to see the urgency of the problems of deforestation and the values championed by Greenpeace.

Therefore, a strategy for palm oil diplomacy is needed to counter this discrimination. For this reasons, Indonesian diplomacy need to provide an explanation to stakeholders in Europen Union and to carry out a regional and multilateral economic diplomacy. This paper will use qualitative methods to describe Indonesia's economic diplomacy in facing the European Union's efforts to reduce palm oil imports.

Abstract

Climate change is an urgent problem. Many countries have collaborated in mitigating the impact of climate change, including Indonesia and Japan. Both countries agreed on a scheme for cooperation in a low-carbon project, namely the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM). The implementation of JCM in Indonesia is new hope for Indonesia’s climate diplomacy in promoting clean and renewable energy. This research aims to review the application of JCM in Indonesia using the case study of the Jakabaring Solar Power Plant in Palembang. This research collected primary data through the interview with related officials, local companies, and civil society. This research showed that the Indonesian government did not consistently support clean energy development. Carbon-intensive industry players still played a dominant role in Indonesia’s climate diplomacy.

Abstract

The geographical proximity between Indonesia and Australia leads to harmonious relations between these two countries, especially in security. The development of information technology is one of the areas becoming the focus of Indonesia and Australia in maintaining regional security. Security cooperation has been established between Indonesia and Australia. This development can have an impact on a dispute between Indonesia and Australia, particularly in the 2013 cyberwar conflict. An Australian cyber-attack on Indonesia by tapping President Yudhoyono’s communication network caused the cyberwar incident. However, the post-cyberwar between Indonesia and Australia did not cause tension in the relations between the two countries. Indonesia approved the MOU of Cybersecurity Cooperation with Australia in 2018. This study aims to analyze the causes of Indonesia and Australia’s choice to continue their cybersecurity cooperation after the Indonesia-Australia cyberwar in 2013. This research utilized the theory of complex interdependence and domestic politics and qualitative analysis methods. The results revealed that Australia’s soft power resources, Australia’s political credibility, the advantages of Indonesia and Australia as democratic countries, and the political survival of individual leaders caused both countries to continue their cybersecurity cooperation after the Indonesia-Australia cyberwar in 2013.

Abstract

Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation Plus (REDD+)  in Meru Betiri National Park (MBNP) East Java – Indonesia, is considered an essential collaborative program between the Indonesian government, International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO), and surrounding local communities to mitigate climate change and global warming. In its implementation, community participation plays a significant role because they are impacted directly by REDD+, as stated in the Cancun Agreement and Anchorage Declaration of Indigenous Peoples on Climate Change. Therefore, this research focuses on the participation level and how it contributes to the program. This research used the community participation theory from Choguill and benefited from using mixed methods with a single case strategy. Data were gathered through a questionnaire, a semi-structured interview, and a literature study. The results uncovered that the participation level reached conciliation with the least support of three rungs as a degree of participation. At this stage, the local community and government started to realize their interests by supporting each other. Even so, the government had control in enforcing the decision-making process that involved the community in REDD+. In the end, government and stakeholders at the local and national scales should accelerate community participation through law enforcement and full community involvement in implementing REDD+.

Abstract

In the context of foreign policy, the Trump administration has made various pro-Israel moves starting with the relocation of the US embassy for Israel to Jerusalem in late 2017. These high-risk policies frequently denounced by the international community. Despite that, Trump persisted in generating such policy, which was influenced by his personal dimension. This study aims to examine how Trump’s personality, precisely his leadership style, affects the decision to relocate the US Embassy to Jerusalem and other pro-Israel policies. In answering the question, this study adopted a political psychology approach by using psychobiography and content analysis as complementary methodologies. The approach was meant to build a complete picture of a leader’s political behavior. It was found that Trump often neglected facts and information on the ground. Therefore, he could be categorized as an aggressive leader who is willing to take risky decisions, although he is aware of the consequences. His inadequacy in organization management also increases the intensity of high-risk policies. In addition to that, Trump’s policies are motivated by his desire to secure political support amongst Judeo-Christian interest groups.
