Abstract

Support from a number of South Pacific countries to groups that voice out the Papuan secession from Indonesia has long been disrupting the Indonesian government. Various policy measures aimed at responding to these continue to be taken, including through Indonesia’s participation as a member of the Melanesian Spearhead Group (MSG). This article analyzes the extent to which MSG is basically strategic for Indonesia, especially within the context of the Papuan secession issue, and how far Indonesia’s diplomacy through MSG has contributed to its main objective. Simultaneously utilizing an inter-governmental approach and strategic realism as a framework for analysis, it is argued here that while MSG has a politically strategic position prompting the Indonesian government to exploit similarities and differences with the Melanesian group of states, Jakarta’s diplomacy through MSG continues to face challenges in the future.

Abstract

This article analyzes the Revolusi! Indonesia Independent exhibition (2022) at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam as a case study of memory diplomacy, demonstrating how museums function as non-state actors in international relations. The exhibition, which aimed to foster reconciliation between the Netherlands and Indonesia, became the center of controversy over the curatorial treatment of the term Bersiap. The study employed a tripartite framework to examine this case, integrating museum diplomacy, memory politics, and postcolonial International Relations (IR) theory. The first lens highlights museums as cultural actors projecting national identity and contributing to soft power while navigating asymmetrical power relations. The second lens situates the exhibition as an arena of norm contestation, where hegemonic Dutch-Indo victimhood narratives clashed with Indonesian decolonial counter-memories. The third lens interprets the controversy through postcolonial diplomacy, revealing how unresolved colonial legacies complicate bilateral reconciliation. Drawing on qualitative methods, the article argues that the Rijksmuseum became a contested diplomatic arena rather than a neutral space of cultural dialogue. The findings underscore that museums have been deeply embedded in power struggles over identity, soft power, and historical memory, making them critical sites for understanding the intersections of heritage, trauma, and diplomacy in postcolonial international relations.

Abstract

Indonesia’s accession to BRICS marks a significant milestone in the country’s evolving foreign policy and economic strategy amidst shifting global power configurations. This study examined Indonesia’s membership through the dual lenses of economic opportunity and geopolitical tension, exploring how participation in the BRICS grouping may accelerate economic growth while also posing new strategic dilemmas. By adopting the theoretical framework of cooperation combined with the dual theoretical framework of complex interdependence and middle power diplomacy, the analysis investigated Indonesia’s motivations for joining BRICS, including aspirations to diversify economic partnerships, attract foreign investment, and reduce dependency on Western-led institutions. At the same time, the study highlights potential challenges related to diplomatic alignment, institutional coherence, and the risk of strategic entanglement in rivalries among major powers, particularly China, Russia, and India. Drawing on qualitative policy analysis, official statements, trade data, and geopolitical assessments, the study discovered that while BRICS membership may offer Indonesia enhanced economic bargaining power and access to alternative development finance, it also requires a delicate balancing of its long-held non-aligned stance and ASEAN-centric diplomacy. The study contributes to the literature on South-South cooperation and middle power diplomacy by offering a timely and critical assessment of how emerging economies like Indonesia navigate the evolving architecture of global governance through multilateral platforms like BRICS.

Abstract

This research examined the application of Safety Tips for Disaster as a digital diplomacy tool employed by Japan to ensure the safety of Indonesian citizens (WNI) during natural disasters. This research utilized qualitative studies to analyze official documents related to the Safety Tips application, including publications from the Japan Tourism Agency (JNTO), journal articles, relevant disaster response policies, and interviews with relevant representatives. Findings highlight the application’s effectiveness in delivering timely information and early warnings, facilitating coordination between Japanese authorities and Indonesian representatives, including the Embassy in Tokyo and the Consulate General in Osaka, for crisis management. Although digital diplomacy has been widely analyzed in the context of public diplomacy and social media, its application in disaster management remains underexplored. The Safety Tips for Disaster application emerged as a model that Indonesia could adopt to strengthen its digital diplomacy strategies, thereby improving the safety and readiness of its citizens during natural disasters in Japan.

Abstract

This study analyzed Bank Mandiri’s position in the political economy of Indonesian banking, emphasizing the possibility of greenwashing in the offering of green loans and sustainability-linked loans. As of June 2024, Bank Mandiri possessed a sustainable portfolio worth IDR 278 trillion. The bank’s green portfolio grew by 20.4% annually to IDR 139 trillion. This study adopted a qualitative method by analyzing Bank Mandiri’s annual financial reports from 2020 to 2024, public policies, and online news media coverage to evaluate its alignment with the net-zero emission (NZE) 2060 commitment. The findings unveiled that although funds have been allocated to renewable energy projects such as hydro and geothermal, most funds remained flowing into sectors with high environmental risks, such as the development of smelters that rely on fossil fuels, contradicting the NZE goals. Bank Mandiri’s ESG program has not yet met all crucial sustainability standards, indicating the presence of greenwashing practices. Indonesia does not possess mandatory sustainability reporting standards, but it has encouraged reporting based on global standards, such as GRI and the newly adopted IFRS standards. This study emphasizes the significance of greater transparency and government oversight to ensure that green financing truly benefits the environment and is not merely a marketing strategy. The novelty of this research lies in the lack of studies conducted on the financing policies provided by Mandiri Bank.

Abstract

After the COVID-19 pandemic, Southeast Asia has become a lucrative epicenter of illegal online gambling across borders. Illegal online gambling has emerged as a threat that harms the national interests of Southeast Asian nations. On the other hand, Indonesia is one of the Southeast Asian nations that has been struggling with the issue of illegal online gambling. Those harms encompass not only national economic loss, but also the socio-economic well-being of the citizens. This research analyzed the role of state actors in dealing with illegal online gambling compared to the offshore operations of illegal online gambling as transnational actors. The analysis of the securitization theory was taken under the framework of the Copenhagen School. Through the qualitative literature review method, this research discovered that the Indonesian government has played a pivotal role in combating illegal online gambling by securitizing it as an existential threat that harms its referent object. Hence, due to jurisdictional constraints, their effectiveness throughout their operation remained questionable. However, alternative solutions, such as strengthening international collaboration and communication, must always be assured.

Abstract

The increasing global decarbonization efforts, particularly through the European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (EU-CBAM), on imported goods have created growing pressure on highly carbon-intensive sectors, such as the steel industry, to adopt greener production methods. This carbon pricing mechanism may constrain the economic growth and development of countries with limited technological, infrastructural, and financial capacities. Existing studies have evaluated CBAM’s effectiveness in achieving its objectives and potential negative consequences through econometric modeling; however, the insights gap regarding steel industries in Southeast Asia and the political power relations of structural inequalities embedded in these transitions remains. This study employed a mixed-method approach, combining comparative qualitative analysis with secondary quantitative data based on World-System Theory (WST) and Global Production Networks (GPN) framework to analyze how CBAM affects China’s, Vietnam’s, and Indonesia’s steel industries based on their structural positions in the world system. The findings revealed that CBAM serves as an instrument of structural domination, reinforcing global inequalities, as non-core countries, including non-EU-oriented exporters, face increasing challenges in adapting to evolving low-carbon standards. To avoid systematic exclusion, the research emphasizes the significance of advancing national climate agendas through the acceleration of domestic emission trading systems (ETS), the development of green technological capabilities, and the enhancement of industrial policies to maintain competitiveness under shifting global market standards.

Abstract

This study investigated the adoption of the Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard (QRIS) by Indonesian tourists in cross-border transactions while travelling to Malaysia and Singapore. Using the mixed-method design combining observations, interviews, and surveys with 134 respondents, the data were analyzed through ANOVA to identify the significant differences in adoption level. The findings revealed that Indonesian tourists encountered more technical barriers when using QRIS abroad compared to domestic transactions. Despite these challenges, QRIS demonstrated strong potential as a cross-border payment tool supporting financial inclusion and sustainable tourism in Southeast Asia. The study highlights the role of digital payment in reducing reliance on cash, thereby contributing to the green economy objectives by minimizing resource use and environmental cost. However, limited interoperability, varying digital literacy, and SME’s resistance remained obstacles to broader adoption. Indonesian tourists using QRIS in Malaysia exhibited significantly higher scores (M = 182.01) compared to Singapore (M = 173.75), F(1, 132) = 12.847, p < 0.001, suggesting that service consistency outweighed infrastructure sophistication. Policy recommendations included strengthening regional cooperation, improving infrastructure reliability, and promoting awareness of ecological benefits. This research provides novel insight for policymakers and tourism stakeholders to foster an integrated and sustainable digital payment ecosystem in the region.

Abstract

This comparative study examined how India and Indonesia address the dominance of Big Tech platforms under similar structural pressures, data dependency, cross-border flows, and infrastructure imbalances in their efforts to secure digital sovereignty. By applying a strategic-relational approach to analyze access to platforms, choice of instruments, and implementation patterns, as well as a structural lens of data colonialism, a qualitative comparative case study was conducted by tracking legislative processes and policy timelines (2019–2024). Empirical evidence included India's DPDP Act, IT Regulations, UPI adoption, ONDC launch, and Google's antitrust fines; as well as Indonesia's PDP Act, PP 71/2019, enforcement of PSE registration, large hyperscaler FDI commitments, and the 2023 social commerce ban, which led to the restructuring of TikTok and Tokopedia. Findings disclosed that India has enhanced its sovereignty through public infrastructure, centralized regulation, and strict enforcement, whereas Indonesia has adopted a hybrid approach, combining legal reform with dependence on foreign platforms amid fragmented institutions. Both achieved only partial sovereignty, suggesting that the selectivity of domestic institutions mediated the impact of structural constraints. Policy implications included developing digital sovereignty metrics, enhancing bureaucratic coordination, investing in indigenous infrastructure, and raising transparency in platform–government interactions.

Abstract

Halal certification has evolved from a mere administrative requirement into a strategic instrument of public diplomacy and soft power. As the world’s largest Muslim-majority country, Indonesia has the potential to leverage halal certification to enhance the competitiveness of its food products in international markets. However, at the subnational level, particularly in Riau Province, which shares direct borders with Malaysia and Singapore, its implementation faces significant challenges. This research examined the role of halal certification as a tool of soft power diplomacy in enhancing the competitiveness of Riau’s food products. Current discourse on halal diplomacy tends to concentrate on the national level, leaving the role of subnational actors such as local governments and MSMEs underexplored. To address this gap, the research employed a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach. Data were collected through document analysis and in-depth interviews with the Halal Product Assurance Organizing Body (BPJPH), the Assessment Institute for Foods, Drugs, and Cosmetics of the Indonesian Ulema Council (LPPOM MUI), local government agencies, and MSME food producers. The analysis revealed that halal certification has served a dual role, acting as both affective soft power through Islamic values and cultural appeal, and as normative soft power, providing global legitimacy and consumer trust. Accordingly, halal certification serves as a medium of public diplomacy, strengthening Indonesia’s position within the global halal economy. Theoretically, the research extends the application of soft power to subnational contexts. Practically, it recommends policies for facilitating certification, harmonizing standards, and building MSME capacity.
