Abstract

Cultural diplomacy has gained prominence for its capacity to assist governments in achieving national interests. While Indonesia and New Zealand have collaborated in various domains, their relationship was strained due to Indonesia’s protectionist policies. In response to New Zealand’s legal actions and economic sanctions, Indonesian Ambassador Tantowi Yahya intensified “gamelan diplomacy” efforts to alleviate the tension. This study investigated the question: “What contributions has gamelan diplomacy made in mending the bilateral relations between Indonesia and New Zealand, particularly in protectionism of imported products between 2017 and 2021?” To address the question, this research employed Milton Cummings’ concept of cultural diplomacy, integrated success parameters as defined by Patricia M. Goff, and utilized Brian Hocking’s multistakeholder diplomacy framework. The research method comprised primary data collection through questionnaires administered to two New Zealand residents, supplemented by a comprehensive literature review. The study concluded that gamelan diplomacy has effectively harmonized communication frequencies, enhanced positive national branding, established credibility, and fortified interstate cooperation, thus serving as a complementary tool in achieving national objectives.

Abstract

Civil Society Organization (CSO) involvement in conflict resolution remains necessary. According to the qualitative research on three CSOs, when they first dealt with conflict, they were creative in resolving conflicts by sheltering communities from violence, fostering cohesion between competing parties, and having dialogue at the local and national levels. CSOs have attempted to maximize their potential and networks for negotiations to end in a peace treaty. Unfortunately, not all CSOs could carry out this mission due to restricted resources and competencies. This study unveiled that the success of CSOs in conflict resolution still required the state’s involvement as a source of pressure on the disputing parties and rooted support from civil society.

Abstract

This article explores the concepts of power and democracy within the context of transnationalism, with a specific focus on Indonesia. It traces the foundational ideas of power from classical political thought to contemporary notions, bridging an understanding that reflects the complexity and multiplicity of power in a transnational world. The author emphasizes the importance of recognizing power multiplicity as a new way to perceive power, given the current historical structure that has produced various actors, transformed institutions, and deconstructed political arenas from traditional models to contemporary ones. The transnational historical structure not only creates new arenas for power but also shapes new methods of power production. These innovations have profound implications for political life and the current face of democracy in Indonesia, reflecting a transition from old paradigms to modern interpretations. The research offers a critical perspective on how transnational influences interact with domestic structure to redefine democracy and power dynamic in a rapidly globalizing world.

Abstract

Disaster diplomacy, the strategic use of humanitarian aid and disaster relief to strengthen diplomatic relations, emerged as a crucial element in international politics, particularly in the aftermath of natural disasters. This study delved into the specific case of the 2023 earthquake, focusing on the role of Indonesian non-state actors in fostering diplomatic ties through collaborative governance. Employing a descriptive qualitative methodology, the research explored the partnership between the Indonesian government and prominent non-state organizations, Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), in executing disaster diplomacy. It revealed that Indonesia’s diplomatic relations with Turkey experienced significant enhancement due to their joint efforts in disaster management and humanitarian aid. The study identified three core elements structuring this collaborative governance: system context, driving force, and collaboration dynamics. It underscored the active involvement of Muhammadiyah and NU, analyzing how their respective disaster management centers – Muhammadiyah Disaster Management Center (MDMC) and Nahdlatul Ulama Disaster Management and Climate Change Institute (LPBINU) – played pivotal roles. Their contribution not only improved the efficiency and volume of humanitarian aid distribution but also expedited the evacuation processes. The findings contribute to understanding the complex dynamics of disaster diplomacy and the influential role of non-state actors in enhancing international relations through collaborative governance in crises.

Abstract

The intersection of faith organization and international humanitarian efforts remains a relatively underexplored domain within the broader discourse of non-governmental organizational studies. This research delves into the operational dynamics of Muhammadiyah, a prominent Indonesian Faith-Based Organization (FBO), as it engages in global humanitarian endeavors—a practice herein referred to as ‘humanitarian diplomacy’. The primary objective of this study is to elucidate the contributions of Muhammadiyah in humanitarian diplomacy, thereby filling a gap in the literature that predominantly focuses on International Non-Governmental Organizations (INGOs) and state actors, with scant attention to national or FBO. This study parses the organization’s activities into four core dimensions, as stated by Minear and Smith (2007): the orchestration of presence, the negotiation of access, the mobilization of advocacy, and the oversight of programmatic assistance. A narrative of Muhammadiyah’s operational strategies and diplomatic engagements was reconstructed through a qualitative methodological approach, including interviews with Muhammadiyah affiliates and a comprehensive review of secondary data sources such as academic theses, research articles, and news reports. The findings revealed that Muhammadiyah’s humanitarian work has been closely aligned with the theoretical tenets proposed by Minear and Smith. The organization’s effective arrangement of its presence in various regions, strategic negotiation for access in complex environments, active engagement in advocacy to amplify the needs and rights of affected populations, and diligent monitoring of assistance programs have collectively demonstrated a sophisticated model of humanitarian diplomacy at work. This study not only contributes to a more nuanced understanding of FBOs in humanitarian diplomacy but also provides a template for other national and local NGOs seeking to navigate the challenges of international humanitarian work.

Abstract

This study aims to elucidate Indonesia’s strategic use of gastrodiplomacy in Saudi Arabia from 2017 to 2023, highlighting a soft diplomacy approach. By engaging in gastrodiplomacy, Indonesia intends to introduce its culinary heritage and enhance its international reputation. This strategic effort is undertaken collaboratively by the Indonesian government and Indonesian restaurateurs in Saudi Arabia. Utilizing the concepts of gastrodiplomacy and national interest, the research investigated the strategies deployed to promote Indonesian cuisine and the underlying governmental objectives. A descriptive-qualitative method was employed, with data collection achieved through a literature review. The findings revealed that the Indonesian government and food entrepreneurs have implemented gastrodiplomacy in Saudi Arabia through two primary strategies: opening various Indonesian restaurants and organizing Indonesian food events. Consequently, Indonesia’s national interests could be softly pursued through gastrodiplomacy. This paper offers recommendations for future research to assess the effectiveness of Indonesian gastrodiplomacy in Saudi Arabia, as well as the possibility of comparative studies with gastrodiplomacy efforts in other countries.

Abstract

In the last 50 years, the number of Hajj pilgrims has surged from 200,000 to 3 million. The organization of Hajj and Umrah not only impacts the economy but also serves as a diplomatic tool for both the host country, Saudi Arabia, and the countries of origin of the pilgrims, such as Indonesia. While the economic impact on Saudi Arabia as the destination country has been extensively studied, the effects on the pilgrims’ countries of origin, particularly Indonesia, are less well-documented. Therefore, this paper seeks to explore how Hajj and Umrah, as forms of religious tourism, can generate economic benefits for Indonesia within the Saudi Arabian context. Utilizing a qualitative method, including literature review and observation, this paper explores and elaborates on how Hajj and Umrah can present economic opportunities for Indonesia. The findings suggest that these religious events could benefit Indonesia through various channels: services related to preparation and departure, transportation, export opportunities for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), and as a means of economic diplomacy with Saudi Arabia and other pilgrim-originating countries. There is significant potential to develop these economic opportunities further to enhance Indonesia’s economic diplomacy and directly benefit its people.

Abstract

This article critically examined Indonesia’s policies to mitigate and adapt to climate change within the global climate regime and local political dynamics. A qualitative method and a multilevel governance approach were utilized, emphasizing the dispersion of power both vertically among various levels of governance and horizontally among different quasi-governmental and non-governmental organizations and actors. The analysis unveiled that Indonesia’s climate change policies have involved supranational governance facilitated by global-level regimes and institutions. The government has played a strategic role in aligning itself with these global environmental regimes by implementing laws and policy measures to limit greenhouse gas emissions, control deforestation rates, and address forest degradation. Achieving these governance tasks involved active participation from local governments, municipalities, and non-state actors such as businesses and the community.

Abstract

This study’s background is based on the social and political tension in developing the SEZ in Indonesia. The research concluded that the main problems in SEZ development stemmed from three main factors: (1) lack of comprehension of multi-level governance, both from the central and local governments; (2) too-centralized government imposing top-down regulation; (3) lack of skills from the local government and local community to negotiate and collaborate with the multi-stakeholders. This study disclosed that Mandalika SEZ has encountered the same problem, specifically the lack of the role of local government and local communities in participating in Mandalaika SEZ sports tourism development. This study is crucial in terms of its contribution to theory and fieldwork investigation. This study investigated the political economy impacts of Mandalika SEZ by employing the integration of Multi-Level Governance (MLG) and Bargaining and Cooperation (BNC) theories. The integration of these theories is novel and differentiates them from previous research. This study employed a qualitative research approach, utilizing stakeholder interviews as the primary data source, complemented by secondary data obtained from prior research.

Abstract

This study examined Indonesia’s first-ever sovereign wealth fund (SWF), known as the Indonesia Investment Authority (INA), focusing on domestic investment. While some newly established SWFs prioritize domestic markets, most of the traditional sovereign funds invest overseas. This study questions INA’s establishment considering this trend. Through qualitative analysis of secondary data, this research argues that INA’s domestic orientation, structure, and investment objective reflect a growing trend of expanding statism, whereby the government leverages the sovereign fund to shape public and private capital allocation for national projects. INA’s co-investment scheme has enabled non-state actors to maintain their capital ownership while the fund determines investment directions. Given the growing number of SWFs worldwide with varied business models, concerns have emerged that governments may utilize them as instruments of power.
