Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has required many countries to implement social restrictions and lockdown policies to prevent the spread of the virus within their borders. Malaysia was one of the countries that went into lockdown, which affected the temporary suspension of various non-essential socio-economic activities. As an implication, Malaysia had to implement a policy of massively repatriating some migrant workers to their countries of origin, including Indonesian migrant workers or Pekerja Migran Indonesia (PMI). The repatriation then became a challenge for the Indonesian Government, particularly in West Kalimantan, a province becoming the port of entry for PMI repatriation from Malaysia amidst the measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19. On the other hand, Malaysia’s measures are underway to protect PMI affected by Covid-19. The purpose of this study is to identify the factors causing the non-optimal paradiplomacy carried out by the West Kalimantan Provincial Government in dealing with the consequences of the Covid-19 outbreak on PMI. Protection of PMI in Malaysia should be a concern, considering the lockdown policies implemented in Malaysia require synergistic efforts by both governments and organizations holding a fundamental role in protecting the rights of PMI. This study employed an exploratory method and a qualitative approach with interview techniques as the primary source of data and literature review as a secondary source of data. The analysis in this study refers to the efforts of paradiplomacy proposed by Nugrahaningsih (2015), stating the necessity for mutual priority, wider participation, and government commitment. The results of this study revealed that the non-optimal paradiplomacy of the protection of migrant workers during the Covid-19 pandemic was caused by: (1) The absence of shared priority between both of West Kalimantan and Sarawak Governments regarding the protection of PMI, (2) The lack of participation from NGOs and civil society, and (3) The lack of commitment of the West Kalimantan Government to optimize the protection of PMI through the cooperation with the Sarawak Government (Malaysia).

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic spread to the Indonesia-Papua New Guinea (PNG) border poses a real threat to people living in the region. As a consequence of this pandemic, the Transnational Border Post (PLBN) and the border market have been temporarily closed since January 2020. This article aims to analyze the implications of COVID-19 on the economic security of the people at the RI-PNG border and the responses of two countries, particularly Indonesia, toward the economic security threats in the border region. This article was developed from qualitative descriptive research using field research methods. Data were collected through interviews and observations and supported by secondary data. This study revealed that the short-term implications of COVID-19 on economic security existed in the form of income reduction, even income loss, due to the closure of cross-border access. Income reduction may lead to the emergence of medium-term implications in the form of unemployment and debt. If there is no solution, the long-term implications may exist in the form of widespread poverty in the RI-PNG border area.

Abstract

The decision of the Governments of Indonesia and Malaysia to collaborate on shared cultural heritage is an interesting phenomenon. The dispute over cultural heritage claims between the two countries several years ago strained their relationship. The reluctance of both governments to understand each other’s different views and take unilateral action regarding their shared cultural heritage has complicated the cultural conflicts. In 2017, Indonesia and Malaysia collaborated to register pantun as shared cultural heritage in the UNESCO. Three years later, UNESCO designated pantun as the world’s intangible cultural heritage from Indonesia and Malaysia. This research aims to analyze the motivation of the cooperation between Indonesia-Malaysia in promoting shared cultural heritage at the international level, with a case study of the registering pantun as a representative list of UNESCO, carried out in 2017-2020. This study employed the concept of heritage diplomacy and soft power with a qualitative analysis method. The findings disclosed that the motivation of the Governments of Indonesia and Malaysia was to fulfill their political interest at the bilateral, regional and international levels. Using cultural heritage as diplomacy demonstrates that culture can solve the political problems between states and become their soft power.

Abstract

Amid a global rush for vaccines, Indonesia has had to compete with other countries to secure vaccines to protect its people from the infection of COVID-19. For its survival, Indonesia's vaccine diplomacy deemed it necessary to remain strategically neutral to prevent Indonesia from being one side of global power. The question in this research is how Indonesia’s effort to procure COVID-19 vaccine while maintaining ‘Free and Active’ foreign policy in bilateral, regional and multilateral and why ‘Free and Active’ foreign policy became important for Indonesia in conducting vaccine diplomacy. The study's aims to examine Indonesia's effort to procure COVID-19 vaccine while maintaining free and active principles and analyze the importance of free and active vaccine diplomacy to ensure the country's independence. This study uses qualitative study methods in research design with data collection techniques from primary (official reports and government records) and secondary data (books, journals, and online media). The research shows Indonesia's effort to procure the COVID-19 vaccine in three ways, namely bilateral (Australia, China, Russia, UK, and the US), regional (ASEAN and IORA), and multilateral (UN and Covax-AMC EG) cooperation with six types of vaccines has secure in Indonesia. China readily supported Indonesia in turning into a vaccine manufacturing hub for Southeast Asia. In this regard, the pandemic would possibly, facilitate Jakarta's nearer ties with Beijing. Thus, free and active foreign policy becomes important for Indonesia in vaccine diplomacy because it balances the national interest.

Abstract

Malaysia is one of the main destination countries for Indonesian migrant workers (PMI). Although their contribution is large for developing the two countries, PMI, especially women workers in the informal sector, still experience violence and discrimination. Protection efforts through diplomacy between the two countries have not effectively protected PMI in Malaysia without involving non-state actors. Muhammadiyah as a religion-based non-state actor, has been heavily involved in alleviating the problems of vulnerable groups, including PMI in Malaysia. However, only a few studies specifically discuss Muhammadiyah diplomacy’s role in protecting PMI in Malaysia. This article aims to explain the role of Muhammadiyah diaspora diplomacy toward protecting PMI in Malaysia as part of the Muhammadiyah internationalization agenda through Pimpinan Cabang Istimewa Muhammadiyah (PCIM). The data used in this article came from secondary data that explored the frequency of reporting about PCIM Malaysia activities in four selected online media. The media included two national media, Antara and Tribune, and two Islamic media, Suara Muhammadiyah and Republika. This article also utilized primary data from interviews with PCIM and Pimpinan Cabang Istimewa ‘Aisyiyah Malaysia, which were analyzed using NVivo 12 software. This article argued that PCIM Malaysia carried out diaspora diplomacy to PMI in Malaysia through mediation, advocacy, representation, and Muhammadiyah internationalization.

Abstract

Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres, asserted that during the COVID-19 pandemic, a global ceasefire must be carried out to bridge human rescue assistance, assist diplomacy, and facilitate the spread reduction of the virus among vulnerable populations, especially in conflict regions. However, a pandemic can trigger resistance due to declining economic conditions, leaving opportunities for opposition movements to open. This paper endeavors to discern the dynamics of insurgency and counterinsurgency during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in Papua, with situations of armed violence between TNI-Polri and West Papua National Liberation Army (TPNPB). The authors argue that the vulnerability of the Papuan people during the COVID-19 pandemic, which is spread across almost all sectors, the dynamics of insurgency and counterinsurgency endanger human security and increase the suffering of Papuan people, especially those who live in conflict areas such as Intan Jaya, Mimika, Puncak, and Nduga. Therefore, using qualitative methods and secondary analysis, the authors discuss insurgency, counterinsurgency, threats, and human security in Papua during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract

Palm oil plantation has proven to have contributions in increasing Indonesian wealth and economy. The fact that Indonesia becoming the biggest palm oil exporter in the world promises a higher expectation for Indonesia’s economic growth. Meanwhile, this national economic source generates controversies for the environment, health, and social issues besides its advantages. This article discusses the problem caused by palm oil plantation in Indonesia and how it is dilemmatic to human security concept. Palm oil plantation offered affordable and an easy access to material for mass exported products for daily need. The phenomena then become destructive when it comes to political interest related to ecological survival, economic boosting program, health for surrounding communities, and another field in human security issue. This study does not only show the fact that palm oil plantation is needed for the sake of economic growth and national development, but also analyse how economic demand may destruct another aspect of human security. The numerous impacts for long-term economic and development made it crucial to be analysed. While there are many studies about dilemma on human security, yet, only a few studies on palm oil plantation and its progress in Indonesia. This paper seeks to broaden the related literature.

Abstract

This paper showed that regional autonomy, which gives an opportunity to region to fully manage natural resources, should be placed in the environmental dimension and position as a global issue. Environmental conditions will be increasingly threatened when environment and natural resources management is solely based on compliance income needs. By doing a comparison of natural resources management policies in Brazil, this paper tries to look at the direction and the relation between management of environmental issues and enforcement of regional autonomy in Indonesia. The case study of deforestation in Brazil show that environmental damage which occurs as a result of natural resources management (forest products) is not only a regional issue in Brazil, but also a national issue, even global issue. This example can be used as a comparison to determine how far regional autonomy should take cares natural resources issue like what happened in Brazil. Regional autonomy is the most fragmented efforts to natural resources, while the globally core of management is integrative efforts.

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

This article describes the notion of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) as a branch of humanitarian intervention. This approach emerges to immediately respond atrocities of innocent people due to political persecution taking place in a state. R2P allows external power in the form of the military operation to prevent casualties of citizen. The opponents of R2P argue that it contradicts with the non-intervention principle based on state-sovereignty. However, the proponents of this approach believe that human security and rights should be beyond of state. It is assumed that R2P remains relevant to completely stop either state violation over its citizen or armed conflict within civil war. The discussion of this paper therefore compress the notion of Humanitarian Intervention and the grounds of Humanitarian Intervention, which concerns mainly on the debate the Responsibility to Protect of what is nature of this approach, of who are authorized actors in charge as well as of how it should be implemented.
