Rethinking the Emergence and the Practice of Three Praetorian States in Southeast Asia: A Comparative Study between Indonesia, Myanmar and Thailand Jatmika, Muhammad Indrawan International Relations; Social and Political Sciences Praetorianism, military, Southeast Asia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Thailand Military forces have had many important roles in political life in Southeast Asia where the military has a full power or major role and influence in the domestic politics. These forms of military intervention in domestic politics are called praetorianism, which is characterized by the military being more inclined to take care of domestic political affairs rather than carrying out its professional duties as guardians of sovereignty from external threats. We can find this practice from seeing the New Order regime in Indonesia to the Military Junta of Myanmar and Thailand. This paper aims to analyze what factors are the background of the widespread practice of praetorianism and how the practice can last for a certain period of time, even still to this day in Southeast Asia. The main argument is the weak political institutions and the low political culture of developing country are the main causes of various intervention efforts made by the armed forces in the domestic political realm of a country.

Indonesia's South-South and Triangular Cooperation (SSTC) as the Future of Diplomacy for World Solidarity to Overcome the COVID-19 Pandemic Iswardhana, Muhammad Ridha International Relations; Social and Political Sciences; International Assistance Indonesia; SSTC; Diplomacy; Solidarity; COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic that started in China has expanded throughout the world. As a result, all countries have to face various challenges due to the Corona Virus. It does not only threaten the health, but also the economy, social, culture and politics of almost all countries. The worst conditions are faced by many developing countries that are unable to overcome the various adverse effects caused by the virus.However, currently, there is no world leadership yet capable to overcome the Corona Virus problem for all countries. Treatment tends to be domestic and unilateral. To solve the pandemic, there is a south-south cooperation framework known as SSTC. Collaboration and partnerships between southern countries are important because more developing countries are facing the impact of the virus. Indonesia as one of the successful actors operating SSTC since 2010 can use this framework of cooperation as solidarity with other southern countries.In this article, a descriptive qualitative approach is used to explain and analyze the conditions that occur concerning the theories. The author uses the theory of Soft Power and International Assistance, aims to explain how Indonesia's diplomacy policy through the SSTC is the finding that Indonesia conducted a series of assistance and training to various countries during the Pandemic. This paper contributes to showing Indonesia's consistent policy and position to overcoming COVID-19 towards several developing countries. However, Indonesia needs consistenantyto increase its role in handling the Corona Virus in various developing countries.

Scrutinizing the Political and Economic Dynamics of China's Distribution of Vaccines in Securitizing Health Siregar, Christou Imanuel Napitupulu, Theo Gerald International Relations; Social and Political Sciences Vaccine Distribution; Healthcare Security; Political and Economic Condition In the previous Pandemic of the H5N1 virus, the world is facing an uneven distribution of the vaccine. The irony is that developed countries get more access to vaccines compared to the country with more cases especially the global south countries.  Today, the world is facing another pandemic which is The Covid-19 Pandemic. This virus vaccine has been found by Russia but has not yet gained international trust. According to experts, China is the country with the most potential to produce this vaccine. However, after the vaccine is successfully produced, there is no assurance that the vaccine will evenly be distributed as mandated by WHO. Based on these considerations, the researcher aimed to project the possibilities of vaccine distribution from China to global south countries. Researchers want to analyze the influence of a country's economic capacity and international politics on vaccine distribution, especially with China. To achieve this objective, we will compare the political and economic situation during the H5N1 pandemic and the political and economic situation during the Covid-19 pandemic. Countries used for comparison are Kenya, Yemen, the Philippines, and Indonesia.  These four countries were chosen because it could represent different conditions of political and economic relations. The expected result is that we will get an overview of the distribution of the Covid-19 vaccine when China has started the distribution of the vaccine. We hope that this paper can be a consideration for developing countries' governments to be more sensitive and intense in carrying out vaccine diplomacy.

The Role of Social Bricoleurs in Crafting Civil Solidarity during the COVID-19 Pandemic Londa, Ivy Pricilia Gabriela Shafira, Karina Dwita Social and Political Sciences open innovation; social bricoleurs; solidarity orchestration; social value co-creation; innovation management The impact of the COVID 19 Pandemic has arguably been inflicted largely in the economic sector than in the health sector. People are suffering every day with millions losing jobs and fall into poverty especially in developing countries. While each government is saving the world from the global recession, the need for local lifeboat initiatives is imperative to contribute to the local economy. If not assisting the country from the severe national recession, it helps vulnerable groups and individuals to survive the global recession. The social bricoleur is a type of social enterprise characterized by its self-governing nature to venture opportunities using the readily available resources based on their tacit position in the social fabric. The research is investigating how solidarity in response to COVID-19 can be enabled by engineering ecosystem orchestration and management through social bricoleur initiatives. The study was conducted with an exploratory single case study to gain insights on how social bricoleurs play a part in addressing social gaps, using the Bagirata platform who operates in response to the COVID-19 economy as a collective effort of wealth redistribution. This middle-class society is the largest in numbers for major cities in Indonesia where the social wealth is the weakest and the population density is the highest, therefore might result in a more fractious society and prone to more social conflict. This class of society also indicates potentials for development programs, rather than the cash-transfer programs that the government has taken such measure recently. No solution fits all, the solidarity calls are inclined to create as many as solutions possible we could create with our resources.

Challenging Underrepresentation of Women Leadership in Global South during COVID-19 Hanifah, Laila International Relations; Social and Political Sciences underrepresentation; women; gender; COVID-19; Global South The WHO's analysis of gender equity in the health workforce of 104 countries has recorded that 70% of the global health workforce is women, while only 25% of them have the opportunity to be decision-makers in COVID-19 leadership. This large percentage has targeted women to be the majority group to get an infection exacerbated by fatigue and mental stress both in the workplace and family. The situation is worsened in Global South due to the low score of the global health system and a high gender gap that leads to inequality. Some important arguments reinforced why women's leadership during the crisis is matters and should be considered. This research will compare several case studies between Global North and Global South countries led by women and men as decision-makers in the COVID-19 pandemic case and in the end, these case studies would challenge women leadership in Global South. The success of the leadership parameter will be assessed from the total number of COVID-19 cases and total deaths from January 17th until October 21st, 2020. The findings found that the underrepresentation of women as decision-makers and policies in COVID-19 leadership led to the length of pandemic management and an increase in the number of COVID-19 cases in the Global South. In further explanation, the research identified several significant factors that explain why women leadership could be more successful to overcome the COVID-19 pandemic in Global South.

The Disruption of Personal Protection Equipment Supply Chain: What Can We Learn from Global Value Chain in the Time of Covid-19 Outbreak? Andaneswari, Annisa Kirana Rohmadiena, Qonitah International Relations :Social and Political Science Global Value Chain; Covid-19; medical supply; global production; global cooperation; trade interdependency Abstract The Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted many aspect of life and it has sought to multifaceted crisis in a global scale. With the continued of health crisis caused by this communicable disease, medical device and personal protection equipment become precious commodity for the general public and healthcare professionals. Therefore, there is a growing demand of Personal Protection Equipment especially face mask and N95 respirators in all over countries. Unfortunately, the decade of expansive trade had been distorted by pandemic of Covid-19 that made the medical supplies cannot meet the global demand. Prior to the outbreak of covid-19, there was an interdependency of medical supplies trade through Global Value Chain. GVC had made the production of medical supplies are effectively fragmented and globally integrated. This article tries to examine the architecture of global medical supply through the lens of Global Value Chain (GVC) before and after pandemic. Using a qualitative methodology this article tries to provide analytical descriptive on global medical devices fragmentation. We use the full UN Comtrade data from 1990 to 2018, Foreign Direct Investment Data from OECD and mass media news to track the shifting of medical devices production during pandemic. The main results indicate that the worsening situation of Pandemic Covid-19 has brought state actors and non-state actors to create new pattern in GVC to provide medical devices worldwide. Finally, this article aims to cast a light on the importance of global cooperation and trade interdependency during crisis.   Institute of International Studies Institute of International Studies , Gadjah Mada University 2021-08-05 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/63287 10.22146/globalsouth.63287 Global South Review; Vol 2, No 2 (2020): Global South Review; 171-188 2685-7790 2685-7782 eng https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/63287/pdf Copyright (c) 2021 Annisa Kirana Andaneswari, Qonitah Rohmadiena http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0

Bridging the Gap: Securitizing Lack of Accessible Education in Indonesia During the Covid-19 Pandemic Leonard, Aloysius Efraim Saphira, Ruth Latreia Theo international relations; social and political sciences Indonesia, development gap, human security, lack of education, securitization The Global South continues to face new threats and challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The debate over health and economy continues and often leaves one aspect out of the equation: education. Especially in Southeast Asia, where regional and domestic disparity still lingers. Association of Southeast Asia Nations (ASEAN) acknowledged that the development gap remained one of the most crucial issues in the region. Using Wæver and Buzan’s securitization theory and Japanese approach of human security, the article tries to prove why the current state of education should be considered as a new non-traditional security threat and should be securitized by countries in the region. The article will use a qualitative method and hypothesizes that the inability for states to ensure quality education during the pandemic will affect the quality of the states’ human capital. The pandemic forces education institutions to rely on online learning. However, not every student has access towards required facilities such as, internet connection, gadgets, technologies, etc. Students in underdeveloped areas might struggle to participate in online classes, forcing them to be left behind. In the long-run, this will slow down Southeast Asian countries’ progress in tackling the development gap.

Community Development, Local Wisdoms, and Ineffective Government Aid: The Case of Lombok Post-Disaster House Reconstruction Project Paramastri, Mira Ardhya International Relations; Social and Political Sciences; Social Development Lombok; community development; social capital; human security; local wisdom Despite the high frequency of disasters, post-disaster development projects in Indonesia have yet been implemented effectively. Such may not be easily reflected through the number of aid projects given, for the reality is much more complex. This article believes that the significance of development projects should be assessed from the aid recipients' perspective. The excess rebuilding back in Aceh's 2004 post-disaster case is one example that shows the importance of paying attention to recipient needs from their perspective rather than aid giver perceptions. The post-disaster condition in Lombok back in 2018 could serve as an example to show the effectiveness of post-disaster development in Indonesia recently. In accordance, this article aims to show how the post-disaster community development programs implemented by multi-stakeholders in Indonesia, especially government-initiated ones, have yet successfully fulfilled Lombok post-disaster victims' needs. The article also found that active initiation from the locals and careful attention to local potentials and wisdom is crucial to determine post-disaster development's success. Such a conclusion is based on the assessment of whether the programs have fulfilled community development principles, in addition to satisfying the victim's human security.

Indonesia’s Self Identity in the Development Assistance Policy through South South and Triangular Cooperation (SSTC) Saptoaji Prabowo, Lucke Haryo International Relations; Social and Political Sciences identity; role; development assistance; South South and Triangular Cooperation; Indonesia This article aims to examine the link between self-identity and foreign policy, particularly focusing on how state’s self-identity is built and sustained through policy. Using Indonesian development assistance policy through South South and Triangular Cooperation (SSTC) as a case study, this article finds that Indonesia self-identifies as a middle power country with strong affiliation towards developing countries as a result of national role conception processes. This self-identity in turn are built and sustained through SSTC development assistance policy, due to the suitability of role obligations as a middle power country with the values carried by the act of providing development assistance, as well as the deeply rooted historical dynamics of SSTC development policy with developing country status.  Institute of International Studies 2021-08-05 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/64156 10.22146/globalsouth.64156 Global South Review; Vol 2, No 2 (2020): Global South Review; 111-135 2685-7790 2685-7782 eng https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/64156/pdf https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/downloadSuppFile/64156/15718 Copyright (c) 2021 Lucke Haryo Saptoaji Prabowo http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0

Beyond Regionalism: The Politics of the Transboundary Haze Pollution in Southeast Asia Umar, Ahmad Rizky M International Relations; Southeast Asian Studies; ASEAN Studies Transboundary Haze Pollution; Southeast Asia; Regionalism; Multi-Level Governance; Patronage; Future Research Programme This article reviews two influential books by two Southeast Asian scholars that discuss the politics of transboundary haze pollution in Southeast Asia. In two excellent works addressing the transboundary haze pollution problem in the region, Paruedee Nguitragool and Helena Varkkey put forward two approaches to understand the failure to address transboundary haze pollution in the region with their own merits and limitations. On the one hand, Paruedee Nguitragool argues that the persistence of the transboundary haze pollution is linked to the regional dynamics in ASEAN and the ratification of the ASEAN Agreement on the Transboundary Haze Pollution (AATHP). On the other hand, Helena Varkkey points out a larger political-economic context that shapes the problem regionally, which relates to the palm oil plantation problem. I argue that, while both works have provided essential insights into the transboundary haze pollution in Southeast Asia, there are still spaces to discuss larger contexts underpinning the problem. I identify three issues that could be discussed in future research on the transboundary haze pollution, namely (1) the normative issue of protection and human rights to a safe, clean, and sustainable environment, (2) the local agency and dynamics in the forest fires and national haze problem, and (3) the nexus between transboundary haze pollution and regional climate change adaptations.

New Developmentalism and the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism: Policy Options for the Global South Tawazun, Ikhlas Shafira, Natasya Dewi International Relations CBAM; Global South; new developmentalism; environment; sustainable growth The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), put forward by the European Union (EU), appeared as a new environmental trade policy that holds significance to the Global South. It necessitates the Global South countries to make changes in their development strategies to not only adapt to the CBAM, but to the overall shifting of the world’s economic growth pattern and sustainable development agenda from which it emerged. Against this backdrop, this article addresses how the Global South can adapt to the CBAM in particular and the larger pressure to transition to a more sustainable growth and development. This article uses qualitative methodology with data acquired through extensive desk research. Findings of this article show that new developmentalism is well suited to enhance the needed policy changes as the Global South can leverage its already-existing state capacity to effectively steer the transformation towards a more sustainable growth. This article is also equipped with possible policy options for the Global South as close examinations towards existing development policies of several Global South countries still list several challenges.

Collective Actions and Challenges Analysis on Management of the Mekong River as Common Pool Resources Listya Dewi, Ni Nyoman Clara International Relations; Social and Political Sciences Mekong River; tragedy of the commons; common pool resources; collective actions The countries of the Indochinese peninsula think that the Mekong River is a shared resource that must be managed through cooperation between countries. However, because many countries exploit the resources in the Mekong River, it triggers an increase in environmental degradation. This phenomenon has prompted the establishment of the 1995 Mekong Agreement and the Mekong River Commission (MRC) which aims to agree on cooperation in sustainable development, conservation, and management of resources in river areas. However, as an upstream country, China did not want to join the Mekong River Commission. In fact, China initiated a new collaboration called the Lancang Mekong Cooperation Mechanism (LMCM) in 2016. In the concrete, China has implemented a mega dam construction project which is considered to be a contributor to environmental degradation. By utilizing Garret Hardin's (1968) views on the tragedy of the commons, this paper analyses the challenges, collective actions and efforts of countries in the Mekong River region in overcoming river management and the sources of the tragedy of the commons. Through several characteristics in the management of shared resources by Ostrom (1990) this paper finds that arrangements for shared resources are important to be systematically arranged by the government to prevent the tragedy of the commons. Institutions at the local level are very important to be able to develop appropriate institutional structures that are adapted to the social and economic life of the people along the Mekong River.

From Friction to Acceleration: China’s Ambition for a Post-Pandemic Tianxia World Order Nauvarian, Demas Ma'rifat, Filasafia Marsya International Relations covid-19; post-pandemic world order; tianxia; peaceful rise; international cooperation This paper explores the relation between the Covid-19 pandemic and China’s peaceful rise. In March 2020, the Covid-19 virus outbreak was declared by World Health Organization (WHO) as a global pandemic that knows no boundaries. While China received an enormous spotlight for being the ground-zero of the pandemic, China has managed to control the pandemic effectively. Not only that, China has also even been able to help other countries by providing Covid-19 assistance to other countries in need. More significantly, however, China was in a unique position when the pandemic hit—it was in a critical period for its rising era. China’s rise has been framed as a ‘peaceful rise’ (heping jueqi). On the other hand, the pandemic forced China to re-think its national power usage while still striving to achieve an idealized order of Tianxia—all-under-heaven. This research analyses how China’s pandemic cooperation is utilized in a greater framework of peaceful rise to accelerate the establishment of Tianxia world order. This research argues that the pandemic served as a critical juncture for the status-quo liberal international order, and China took the opportunity to indirectly disrupt the order. This is evident through two main pillars of China’s pandemic cooperation: (1) asserting self-reliance by strengthening national response; (2) establishing cooperation to put China as a ‘middle kingdom.’ This research concludes that China, in some ways, successfully transform the pandemic from friction to an acceleration factor for its peaceful rise.

China’s National Interest in Providing Assistance to Indonesia in Handling the Covid-19 Pandemic: Normative and Material Suhita, Anisa Risanti Ma’rifat, Filasafia Marsya Ramadina, Trisni Salsa International Relations : Social and Political Sciences COVID-19 pandemic; Indonesia; China; assistance; interest The scarcity of medical equipment has been inevitable since the Covid-19 pandemic emerged in 2020. Developing countries, part of the Global South, might have unfortunate conditions due to their lack of medical equipment. As part of the Global South, China has been providing assistance, having Indonesia as one of its main recipients. This study focuses on China’s assistance and vaccine cooperation with Indonesia during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the earlier outbreak, China has provided Indonesia with multiple assistance, such as PCR test kits, medical and N95 masks, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and then engaging on vaccine development. The study recognizes two types of interests, the normative and material ones, shaping China’s motives. By analysing both interests, it is found that the cooperation between China and Indonesia shows that China has allowed Indonesia to be actively involved in dealing with the impact of the global pandemic. In addition to solidarity (normative interest), China’s assistance is also a form of its effort to pursue economic expansion (material interest).  Institute of International Studies Institute of International Studies Universitas Gadjah Mada 2023-02-16 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/69867 10.22146/globalsouth.69867 Global South Review; Vol 3, No 1 (2021): Global South Review; 81-98 2685-7790 2685-7782 eng https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/69867/pdf Copyright (c) 2023 Anisa Risanti Suhita, Filasafia Marsya Ma’rifat, Trisni Salsa Ramadina http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0

Indonesia's Interest in The South-South Triangular Cooperation (SSTC) Policy to Fiji during Joko Widodo’s 2014-2019 Government Cahayani, Ica INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Indonesia; Fiji; South-South Triangular Cooperation; Melanesia; Melanesian Spearhead Group This study was conducted to explain Indonesia's interests in the South-South Triangular Cooperation (SSTC) policy towards Fiji in the Joko Widodo administration in 2014-2019. This study uses the theory of national interest and foreign policy. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. The research method is used to explain and explore Indonesia's interests through the SSTC's policy towards Fiji with three interests, namely economic, political and security interests. The results showed that Indonesia chose Fiji as a country to implement the SSTC policy because Fiji is one of the south Pacific countries, especially Melanesian countries and Indonesia still failed to carry out diplomacy with Vanuatu. Fiji is a country that has an important role in the internal organization of the Melanesian Spearhead Group (MSG), Fiji's involvement is very large in making MSG policies, because Indonesia's goal of being included in the MSG requires a major country that has an important role in the MSG, Besides Indonesia having economic interests, Fiji provides opportunities big for economic development and new market share for Indonesia in the south Pacific region, considering that this region is very strategic, this region has become the location of a trade war between China and the United States. Indonesia's strategy to gain economic, political and security interests by providing through the implementation of the SSTC policy is a form of great concern for Fiji.

The Effort of State and Non-State Actors in Ensuring Access to Primary and Secondary Education for Indonesian Citizens in Singapore Wulandari, Diah Ayu International Relations; International Politics Primary and Secondary Education, State Actors, Non-State Actors, Multi-Track Diplomacy, and Humanitarianism Singapore’s Ministry of Education (MOE) policy in the Singapore local schools admission that places international students as the last priority after Singapore citizens and Permanent Residents, coupled with the expensive school fees for international students are the main problems in accessing primary and secondary education faced by Indonesian citizens in Singapore. Efforts from various parties are needed to ensure the fulfillment of access to primary and secondary education for Indonesian Citizens in Singapore. This research explores state and non-state actors' efforts to ensure access to primary and secondary education for Indonesian citizens in Singapore. Data collection was obtained through interviews and a literature review. This research shows that multi-track diplomacy is established between state actors consisting of the Indonesian Embassy in Singapore and Indonesian State-Owned Enterprises as representative of track 1, and non-state actors consist of professionals (track 2), entrepreneurs (track 3), and college students (track 5). The multi-track diplomacy is reflected in the establishment of Sekolah Indonesia (Singapura) Ltd. and Pusat Kegiatan Belajar Masyarakat (PKBM) KBRI Singapura. The multi-track diplomacy is established because of shared values of humanitarianism. The collaboration of multi-track diplomacy and the spirit of humanitarianism has received positive responses from Singapore Government agencies and educational institutions, which aim to improve the quality of education at Sekolah Indonesia (Singapura) Ltd. and PKBM KBRI Singapura.

Global South Perspective on the Threat to Multilateralism in G20 Post-Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine Fadhlia, Maudy Noor Bimantara, Azza International Relations; Social and Political Sciences crisis of multilateralism; consensus; Global South; Russo-Ukrainian conflict; G20 The G20 is set up to foster cooperation among states while sharing common principles and values. Even though it was first created to handle the global financial crisis, G20 has become a big multilateral forum covering other strategic developmental issues. At the beginning of this year, Russia's invasion of Ukraine came unexpectedly and created commotion among the G20 members. Some members assume it threatens multilateralism in G20 since Russia ignores international law. This paper uses a qualitative approach through a case study, collects the data from a literature review, and looks at different dimensions of multilateralism. Furthermore, the discussion will focus on the perspective of the Global South regarding the multilateralism crisis by overviewing the characteristics of multilateralism in crisis. The result of this paper indicates that the division among the West, Russia, China, and other members showed that the consensus and compliance in G20 no longer exist. It is considered a sign of the deficit of multilateralism where Russia and the West challenged and then pressured the multilateral system. On the other hand, most Global South countries took a different perspective and stance when the West and its allies heavily condemned Russia. While the other countries busily try to expel Russia from G20, the Global South representative countries remain neutral to maintain their relationship with the superpowers. The different perspectives and actions among the G20 members emphasize the crisis of multilateralism that reflects a battle of narratives.

The Distinction Between BRICS and G7 in Responding to the Ukraine-Russia Crisis: G20 Multilateral Crisis? Cahayani, Ica Fachrurreza, Ahmad Mujaddid Puspita, Agata Nina INTERNATIONAL RELATION G20, G7, BRICS, Multilateralism Crisis, Russia-Ukraine Crisis Introduction/Main Objective: This research discusses the differences in BRICS and G7 responses to the Ukraine-Russia conflict, where these two groups consist of countries with different political interests. Following the results of the G7 and BRICS Summits, both responded differently to the Ukraine-Russia crisis. Background Problem: Differences in response are proposed because the G20 has the vision to achieve the resolution of policy issues on problems that hinder world economic growth, one of which is the food crisis caused by the Uraina-Russia conflict. The selection of the G7 and BRICS's different responses is the right strategy to determine how much potential the G20 has. It is difficult to achieve its goal of providing solutions for the world economy thanks to the structure of its members, who have diverse interests and responses to the Ukraine-Russia crisis. Novelty: This study uses interest-based theory to analyze the differences in the responses of the G7 and BRICS. This theory seeks to explain the formation of the G20's international regime by dismantling aspects of the fundamental interests behind the cognitive states that decided to establish the international regime of the G20. Method: The method used in this research is the discourse analysis method in a case set because this study wants to see changes in discourse related to the multilateral G20. Findings/Results: The complexity of trading, namely the BRICS and G7, with different responses and interests in responding to the Ukrainian crisis, can encourage a multilateralism crisis in the G20. The research results prove that the complexity of reporting generates different interests, so the response to the Ukrainian-Russian crisis tends to differ. Conclusion: The G20 has not been able to overcome the different interests of its members in solving the problem of the world food crisis because the discussion of the world food crisis is linked to the discussion of Ukrainian-Russian security politics.

Global Health Governance: The Case of the Biopolitics of Covid-19 Vaccine Nationalism Pratama, Aditya International Relations; Social and Political Sciences Biopolitics, Vaccine Nationalism, Geopolitics, COVID-19, Global North and South In April 2020, the World Health Organisation (WHO), Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), GAVI, and the Vaccine Alliances officially launched COVID-19 Vaccines Global Access (COVAX) as a policy to facilitate equal access to COVID-19 vaccines for low-to-middle-income countries. The initiative has 184 member countries and supplies vaccines to 140 countries. By August 2021, COVAX will have provided 200 million vaccine doses instead of the 600 million doses initially proposed. The shortfall of vaccine doses through the mechanism of COVAX is not only because of production shortage but also partly due to vaccine nationalism by more high-income countries (HIC), where they secure vaccine stocks for their population. Such a phenomenon has made the Global South countries vulnerable as they have no facilities for vaccine production except India. Vaccine nationalism can be better seen from two spheres, biopolitics, and geopolitics. Previous researches on geopolitics and infectious disease are still rare. Thus, this research hopes to fill this gap. The two terms imply that vaccine nationalism involves the creation of borders and separating things and people. In other words, a particular spatial dynamic of exclusion divides the world, as manifested by an inadequate distribution of the benefits of COVID-19 vaccines between the North and the South. This research intends to analyze vaccine nationalism that causes the discrepancy in vaccine distribution between the North and the South countries from the theoretical perspectives of biopolitics and geopolitics. This research employs a case study of vaccine nationalism from 2020 to 2021. It is argued that vaccine nationalism is further divided between the North and South and the division between homeland security and world security.

Narrative Policy Framework (NFP) Electronic System Operator Policy: Surveillance and Cyber Security Rosyidah, Ambar Alimatur Fajriyah, Farah Communication Sciences; Social and Political Sciences Narrative Policy Framework; ESO policy; digital sovereignty; surveillance; cyber security Indonesia, as one of the Global South countries, has responded to digital transformation by launching the policy of the Minister of Communication and Information Technology Number 5 of 2020 concerning the Implementation of Private Electronic Systems (ESO) for the realization of digital sovereignty. The policy reaped negative sentiments from the public. Several articles considered ‘rubber articles’ indicated to weaken human rights in obtaining and conveying information, as stated in Article 28F of the 1945 Constitution. This study aims to understand the narrative of digital sovereignty built by Kominfo in the ESO policy and strategies to strengthen that narrative. The research method uses a qualitative approach to the Narrative Policy Framework (NFP) by collecting reliable online data from the official Kominfo website, online media, and press conference videos. This study was studied using Agency Theory, where the Indonesian people, as the principal, delegate authority to the agent, Kominfo, related to ESO policies. The results of the NPF found economic narration from the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology. This narration contradicts the narrative of ESO’s policy with the goal of its existence, which is the realization of digital sovereignty. This study also underscores the importance of co-regulation with ESO to strengthen the narrative of digital sovereignty.

Democracy Assistance to Global South: A Case Study of Konrad-Adenauer Stiftung (KAS) Freedom Agenda in Indonesia Khoirunnisa, Tsabita Afifah Effendi, Yusli Konrad Adenauer Stiftung; democracy promotion; hegemony; social forces This paper aims to investigate and analyze the democracy promotion carried out by Konrad-Adanauer Stiftung (KAS) in Indonesia. Our provisional findings on the case show that the hegemony of the North over the South is also perpetuated through political and economic assistance. Through the German political foundation of KAS, Germany seeks to foster a Western "better democracy" in Indonesia through several programs in collaboration with local actors. These "Freedom Agenda '' include training for civil apparatus and legal drafting training for national legislation. The Freedom Agenda carried out by KAS in Indonesia is associated with Germany's pursuit of democracy promotion policy. This study utilizes Neo-Gramscian Approach by Coxian Critical Theory (CCT) to investigate the role of KAS in maintaining the hegemonic order of Western Democracy in Indonesia through Cox's historical structure. By using library research, this study seeks to explain the reciprocal relationship between Cox's social forces in hegemony structure of Western democracy.Keywords: Konrad Adenauer Stiftung; democracy promotion; hegemony; social forces Institute of International Studies 2023-09-15 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/81109 10.22146/globalsouth.81109 Global South Review; Vol 5, No 1 (2023): Global South Review; 7-30 2685-7790 2685-7782 eng https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/81109/pdf Copyright (c) 2023 Tsabita Afifah Khoirunnisa, Yusli Effendi http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0

Whither Just Transition? A Case Study of Energy Transition Mechanism (ETM) Country Platform in Indonesia Mulia, Aldi Haydar Wukirasih, Sekarini Suryadinata, Widhi Hanantyo International Relations; Politics of Energy Transition energy transition; energy transition mechanism; global north; global south; hegemonic knowledge Without a coordinated and effective global energy transition action plan, numerous projects and aid given by the Global North states dominated today's energy transition scheme–particularly for many Global South states. One is Energy Transition Mechanism (ETM), which claims to actualise just transition through its platform recently launched in Indonesia. It promises to improve societal participation, address socio-economic issues, and gives its recipients an affordable and sustainable path to a just transition. The latter focuses on early coal retirement, which is rampant in Indonesia. Despite its relatively novel focus on just transition, ETM fails to live up to its "just" concept, once again resembling debt-heavy funding and a lack of holistic assessment of the funding's effects on the affected society. This paper aims to elaborate on such problematisation while questioning how foreign funding could help realise just transition in the Global South. A qualitative case study provides context for the just transition in Indonesia.Keywords: energy transition mechanism; just transition; Global North; Global South; Indonesia Institute of International Studies 2023-09-15 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/81111 10.22146/globalsouth.81111 Global South Review; Vol 5, No 1 (2023): Global South Review; 31-46 2685-7790 2685-7782 eng https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/81111/pdf Copyright (c) 2023 Aldi Haydar Mulia, Sekarini Wukirasih, Widhi Hanantyo Suryadinata http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0

The Perilous Road Towards World Society (?): Global South in The Russo-Ukraine War Larasati, Diandra Ayu International Relations; Social and Political Sciences Global South; Global North; English School; Russo-Ukraine War This paper addresses the lukewarm reaction exhibited by most of the Global South (GS) states regarding the Russo-Ukraine war. Despite the massive campaigning from the West for the world to side with Ukraine and go against Russia, only a few of the GS states follow through with this narration. Most of them choose to pledge neutrality instead, which is unexpected if one considers that the majority of the GS also experienced military aggressions and occupations in the past. By employing qualitative research methods, this paper is written to provide an interpretation of this phenomenon through the English School perspective, precisely its argument regarding the concepts of the ‘International System,’ ‘International Society,’ and ‘World Society’ spectrum. This paper finds that this condition happens because the GS perceives the Russo-Ukrainian conflict as an ‘alien’ conflict largely detached from the GS’ own international society, which has a separate model of interactions built upon a long span of historical events unrelated to both Russia and Ukraine. This sense of viewing the conflict as ‘foreign’ emerges from the perspective of this conflict being fought amongst the ‘Global North’ states. This means that both belligerents are conceptually equal in terms of being actors from ‘outside’ the international society of the GS. Other than that, the GS also has shared norms that go against the interventionist policies advocated by the GN states. However, the loose notion of ‘World Society’ is still viable, as, despite the North-South divide, both societies share the expected value of a nation-state’s sovereignty.  Institute of International Studies 2023-05-31 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/81394 10.22146/globalsouth.81394 Global South Review; Vol 4, No 1 (2022): Global South Review; 83-95 2685-7790 2685-7782 eng https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/81394/pdf Copyright (c) 2023 Diandra Ayu Larasati http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0

Not So Ambitious? Indonesia’s Coal Dependence Amidst The Era of Energy Transition Febriyanti, Amira Hasna Murtadho, Sayyid Al Almattushyva, Yassriani International Relations; Social and Political Sciences Indonesia, coal dependence, energy transition, securitisation, distributive and procedural justice Indonesia ratified the Paris Agreement to combat climate change and pledged to reduce its carbon emissions. This commitment, however, contrasts Indonesia's development plan under Joko Widodo's administration. His policy has enabled the development of additional power plants, hence perpetuating Indonesia's reliance on coal. Thus, it is essential to examine why Indonesia is still struggling to break free from its dependence on coal, despite its ambitious goal to tackle climate change. This paper will apply the Copenhagen School's securitisation theory to explore how security is defined and shapes Indonesia's energy transition process. Furthermore, this research will use distributive and procedural justice theory to examine the decision-making process and climate change policy implementation. In order to accomplish so, we will employ qualitative methods such as desk studies, which will comprise academic literature as well as government statements and regulations. This paper argues that Indonesia's energy transition is impeded by how other security issues are prioritised above climate change. In addition, the lack of justice principles in the climate policy formulation and implementation has contributed to Indonesia's reliance on coal. Since Indonesia is the world's largest coal exporter and one of the top ten global polluters, this study intends to contribute to identifying challenges in the transition to renewable energy.Keywords: Indonesia; coal dependence; energy transition; securitisation; distributive and procedural justice Institute of International Studies 2023-09-15 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/81488 10.22146/globalsouth.81488 Global South Review; Vol 5, No 1 (2023): Global South Review; 47-61 2685-7790 2685-7782 eng https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/81488/pdf Copyright (c) 2023 Amira Hasna Febriyanti, Sayyid Al Murtadho, Yassriani Almattushyva http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0

Challenges and Opportunities of the 2022 G20 Summit in Strengthening Prevention, Preparedness, and Response (PPR) Financing as a Part of Global Health Architecture Restructuration Jatmiko, Kevin Abimanyu International Relations Global South Restructuring and strengthening the framework of Global Health Architecture (GHA) is one of the significant agendas raised at the 2022 G20 Summit held in Bali, Indonesia. One of the identified motivations behind this initiative concerns the gap in the prevention, preparedness, and response (PPR) financing policy and its sustainability. This problem generates inequity in the global health system–especially experienced by the low- and mid-income countries (LMICs)–and hinders the effort to comprehensively mitigate the impacts the threats have caused, such as from the current COVID-19 outbreak. Consequently, these countries are struggling due to their inability to acquire healthcare resources such as health infrastructures, vaccine access, and human resources. To understand how the 2022 G20 forum could contribute to restructuring and strengthening the architecture, this paper investigates the upcoming summit's potential challenges and opportunities in restructuring the GHA framework to close the gap in financing PPR and creating an equal global health system. In doing so, this article will apply desk study by collecting information from secondary data sources. One of the potential opportunities is to strengthen global health multilateralism through the G20 members' active engagement in the financial intermediary fund (FIF) platform. However, there is also a significant challenge regarding the current global solidarity and political tension. Therefore, the forum must consider these notions to create a more robust and sustained financial policy to strengthen the architecture.

Assessing the Response of the Global South to Russo-Ukrainian War: Case Study of India Basundoro, Alfin Febrian Abrar, Muhammad Irsyad Trystanto, Trystanto International Relations; Geopolitics Global South; Russo-Ukrainian War; India; Realpolitik The Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, resulted in a prolonged war between the two countries. It creates a worldwide geoeconomic impact, including stagflation due to the disruption of the supply chains, profoundly affecting the economies of Global South countries. Additionally, the aggression contradicts the principles of sovereignty, territorial integrity, and independence that the Global South countries hold dear (United Nations, 2015). Despite these, most Global South countries, including India, refused to condemn Russia for its actions, except for the UN General Assembly vote to condemn Russia on March 2. This situation begs the question: Why would not India, one of the significant Global South countries, blame Russia for its detrimental actions to the ideals of the Global South? We argue that when national interests and values come into conflict, Global South countries may prioritize their interest rather than uphold the values deeply held by the Global South—a vindication that Realpolitik still held preeminence within the foreign policymaking of the Global South countries, including India. This is evident in India's response to the Russian aggression, as India still maintains a strategic partnership with Russia even after Russia tramples the values of the Global South via its war in Ukraine. At the same time, India tries to avoid being engaged closely with Russia as India still needs the support of the United States to balance China's geopolitical moves, given India's territorial disputes with China.

Digital Economy to Boost Economy Recovery Post-Pandemic: Indonesia's Strategic Position as New Economic Power in Southeast Asia Prasidya, Tusta Citta Ihtisan Tri Dewi, Wahyu Candra digital-economy, economic-recovery, economic-power, digital-society The concept of the digital economy is a relatively new term used by Don Tapscott in 1995. Since then, this term has been widely discussed in different environments, and many countries have started transforming into digital economies using various strategies. The COVID-19 pandemic did not even stop the popularity of the digital economy; in fact, it is expected to be the core of economic recovery post-Covid-19, necessarily in Indonesia. Indonesia's massive number of internet users creates the opportunity to promote digitalization and eventually transform into a digital economy environment. In 2021, the digital trade valuation reached IDR 401 Trillion with an increasing preference for online spending habits. Supported by the rapid growth of the digital payment system and digital banking, the digital economy in Indonesia is projected to reach USD 146 billion valuations by the end of 2025. This study aims to discover the progression of the digital economy in Indonesia in regards to accelerating economic recovery post-pandemic covid-19 and how it would affect Indonesia's position in relations with South East Asia Countries. Furthermore, the report will also discuss the challenge and opportunity to transform into a digital society.

The Shifting of Regional Regime: Study Case of Renegotiation NAFTA to USMCA Ardhana, Putri Febrianty Daniah, Rahmah International Relations; Social and Political Sciences NAFTA; USMCA; renegotiation; economic integration This study was designed using descriptive writing techniques using secondary data with library research techniques and qualitative analysis. The results of this study indicate that the factors behind the renegotiation of NAFTA to the USMCA come from internal and external factors. From internal factors, there are considerations from each NAFTA member country in the form of profit and loss considerations from an economic perspective, such as gains from Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and losses in the form of trade deficits. Meanwhile, from external factors, there were considerations related to the existence of economic threats from third parties, several NAFTA rules that are considered detrimental and irrelevant, as well as considerations of the potential for modernizing NAFTA rules from a digital trade perspective. In addition, the renegotiation of NAFTA to the USMCA also brings those international agreements to a deeper stage of economic integration, where the USMCA is between the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and Customs Union stages because the USMCA has deeper rules than the FTA stage. However, on the other hand, it still does not fully comply with the rules at the stage of the Customs Union.

Bride Trafficking from Vietnam to China: The Critique of Socialist Feminism Asmoro, Jessenia Destarini International Relations; Gender and Politics Bride Trafficking; Globalization; Patriarchy; Capitalism; Sexual Objectification Bride trafficking is a phenomenon where women are sold for forced marriage. This phenomenon occurs in many Vietnamese women brought to China without their consent to marry. It has been claimed that there are 'supply and demand factors in encouraging the development of bride trafficking from Vietnam to China, such as an imbalanced sex ratio in China and a lack of education. This research analyses the occurrence of bride trafficking from Vietnam to China through the lens of gender and politics. Using the narrative analysis method and literature study through the perspective of socialist feminism, this research found that bride trafficking from Vietnam to China embodies double oppression towards Vietnamese women. It results from the intersection between two oppressive structures: patriarchy and capitalism.Consequently, a practice of sexual economy is developed in the form of bride trafficking. This research also found that globalization significantly affects bride trafficking from Vietnam to China. Globalization paves the way for this phenomenon to happen. Thus, this article offers a perspective favouring women in analyzing transnational phenomena in international relations.Keywords: bride trafficking; globalization; patriarchy; capitalism; sexual objectification  Institute of International Studies 2023-09-15 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/85237 10.22146/globalsouth.85237 Global South Review; Vol 5, No 1 (2023): Global South Review; 62-79 2685-7790 2685-7782 eng https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/85237/pdf_1 Copyright (c) 2023 Jessenia Destarini Asmoro http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0

The Impact of Boys' Love Television Series as a Way of Shaping Thailand's LGBT Rights Acceptance Hidayat, Addine Fithrianne International Relations; Social and Political Sciences The journey of Thailand's cinematic queer existence can be traced back to the 1960s with a portrayal of a same-sex couple's tragic story. However, the re-emergence of Thailand's cinematic queer in the form of the Boys Live series in 2020 has succeeded in enticing audiences' attention and soon created the narrative of the exact sex couple series portrayal to be the icon of Thailand's entertainment industry. The increased demand for Boys Love series production later shifted into giving a proper platform for the LGBT community to represent themselves in the media. The expansion in exposure led to reshaping the discourse in society and creating a way for familiarising the community with the public, all while providing the chance to address the topic matters, including long-standing discrimination.Keywords: LGBT; human rights; discourse school; media representation; gender equality Institute of International Studies 2024-12-19 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/89451 10.22146/globalsouth.89451 Global South Review; Vol 6, No 2 (2024): Global South Review; 82-96 2685-7790 2685-7782 eng https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/89451/pdf https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/downloadSuppFile/89451/29213 Copyright (c) 2024 Addine Fithrianne Hidayat http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0

IR and the Global South: Revising Obstacles to a Global Discipline Oztig, Lacin Idil The IR discipline is marked by a strong center-periphery inequality that is perpetuated through theories, methodologies, and concepts produced in the Global North that do not adequately capture the diverse experiences of Global South states and societies. In tandem with growing critiques of Western-centrism and calls for global IR, the discipline has now become more heterogeneous and inclusive, and IR scholars are more attentive to the global IR debate than ever before.  Yet, the discipline has not become truly global, as many Global South scholars are absent from the major debates in the field and there are still sharp geographic differences with respect to IR knowledge production. Even though Global South countries have enormous potential to enrich and globalize IR with their history, political thinkers, and religious and philosophical traditions, this potential remains largely untapped. While Global South scholars develop alternative perspectives and engage in theorizing practices, these efforts have not yet been embodied in the form of an IR theory that provides alternative explanations of world politics. Equally important, these perspectives are not echoed in much of the mainstream accounts in IR.  This study contributes to the global IR debate by problematizing the dynamics behind the insufficient development and representation of Global South IR theories and perspectives in the discipline. After delving into entrenched Western-centrism and the asymmetries of knowledge production in the discipline, the present study puts into spotlight the intellectual and material barriers that feed off each other and perpetuate the inequalities in IR knowledge production.

The Developmental Case for BRICS Anderson, Tim Yulianti, Dina Political economy; international relations BRICS; DEVELOPMENT; GLOBAL SOUTH This paper argues the developmental case for Indo-Pacific and Global South nations joining BRICS Plus, which presents the best possibilities to escape the dictatorship of the dollar, whether through bilateral swaps, new baskets of currencies or some new shared digital forms of exchange. This move is necessary for two main reasons. First, the dollar dictatorship has damaged and continues to damage developing countries through depreciation of non-dollar currencies, adverse income effects and associated damaging impact on credit ratings and investment. Second, the expanded use of unilateral US and EU “sanctions” (unilateral coercive measures) imposes crippling siege warfare on more than 20 nations while seriously damaging the free trade options of third party nations. That siege warfare and its effects is only possible because of the tight nexus between the dollar, the US-dominated SWIFT system and the US capture of protocol agreements such as those against money laundering and the financing of terrorism. Establishing alternative financial mechanisms to the dollar dictatorship has become essential to the developmental possibilities of Global South economies in Asia, Africa and Latin America, and the weight and determination of the BRICS Plus group presents the best chance to build such alternatives.

Global South Responses to China’s BRI Projects: A Case Study of Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway Project Prasetyo, Kanyadibya Cendana Political Sciences; International Relations; International Development Global South, China, Indonesia, Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway China's rise as a global power in the 21st century, marked by its economic growth and political influence, has been exemplified through initiatives like the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The BRI has extended China's geoeconomic and geopolitical influence across Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Europe. While existing literature predominantly focuses on China's actions, this study shifts the spotlight to Global South nations' responses and strategic policies, particularly Indonesia, in the context of China's BRI projects. Drawing upon in-depth interviews, literature review, and social media analysis, this research examines how Indonesia has actively shaped the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway project within the BRI framework to pursue its objectives and interests. The study's findings highlight that the Indonesian government, in alignment with the principles of the BRI, is actively utilizing the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway project to advance its New Developmentalism approach under President Jokowi's administration. This approach embodies a narrow perspective of development by focusing on infrastructure and economic growth while ignoring political and environmental considerations. Concurrently, the project has encountered resistance from local communities, underscoring the contrasting interests between the government and the public and adding a nuanced layer to the dynamics of the BRI. This case study sheds light on the complex interplay of interests and power dynamics within the context of China's BRI projects in the Global South. It underscores the importance of considering the responses and agency of host nations and local communities in shaping the outcomes of BRI initiatives.

Navigating the Pacific: Solomon Islands Attempt to Gain Influence in the Middle of China-US Rivalry Budi Wibawa, Priagung Arif Heatubun, Rivelda P. Widnyana, I Gede Wahyu Mahendra, Yusril Ihza International Relations; Social and Political Sciences China-US rivalry; Pacific Islands Region; small states; Solomon Islands The Pacific Islands Region is in the spotlight due to rising tensions between China and the U.S. This situation has escalated with China offering security pacts to Pacific Islands states in 2022. Despite most Pacific states rejecting the offer, the Solomon Islands, as the only country to accept it, caused concern for the U.S. and its allies. Considering that the Solomon Islands lack the traditional power to support their decision to align with China against the U.S. and its allies, it is an intriguing issue to delve into. This research aims to analyze the phenomenon by using qualitative-descriptive methods and the concept of Small States. This will give us a new way to understand how small states in the Pacific Ocean maneuver amidst the US-China rivalry by analyzing strategic indicators they can utilize rather than solely focusing on domestic circumstances to comprehend their decisions. We found that the Solomon Islands' ability to take such a risk stems from two sources of power: particular-intrinsic and derivative power. Intrinsically, the Solomon Islands hold geopolitical importance, being strategically crucial for both China's Belt and Road initiative and the U.S.'s attempt to retain its regional influence. Derivatively, the Solomon Islands' sole position to accept the security pact is highly valued by China. This will lead to a mutually beneficial relationship among them, and the Solomon Islands can benefit in security and economic terms. This research sheds light on how a small state navigates its interest in the epicenter of rivalry between two great powers.Keywords: China-US rivalry; Pacific Islands Region; small states; Solomon Islands Institute of International Studies 2024-07-10 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/91034 10.22146/globalsouth.91034 Global South Review; Vol 6, No 1 (2024): Global South Review; 40-61 2685-7790 2685-7782 eng https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/91034/pdf Copyright (c) 2024 Priagung Arif Budi Wibawa, Rivelda P.

Mapping Indonesia’s South-South Triangular Cooperation Initiatives & potential: Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Adjani, Wulan Kencana International Relations; Social and Political Sciences South-south Cooperation; ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific; Climate Change; NDC Implementation Indonesia has committed to the ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific (AOIP), and one of the commitments includes its efforts to enhance South-South Cooperation (SSC). Within those SSC sectors, one of the most promising sectors are the Climate change aspects such as Agriculture, disaster risk reduction, renewable energy and energy efficiency, forestry, transport, water resources, and waste management. Notably, countries' recognition is growing to utilize SSC as a strategic tool in addressing climate change and achieving their National Development Contributions (NDC). This paper employs qualitative research methods, drawing insights from existing literature and data, to analyse Indonesia's SSC efforts as part of its AOIP commitment. The study sheds light on Indonesia's endeavours to provide SSC within the Indo-Pacific region, considering the political, economic, and strategic benefits of assisting countries in this area. Additionally, it underscores the significance of technological exchange, particularly with countries sharing similar geo-climatic, cultural, and socio-economic conditions, in fostering effective cooperation, particularly within the Climate Change agenda. The study proposes a potential framework for cooperation by aligning each host country's specific needs with an analysis of their NDCs, complemented by the expertise of contributing nations.

Exit, Voice, and Loyalty in the Indo-Pacific: Shaping Future Regional Policies Delviolin, Ellie Ophelia Tangka, George Morris William International Relations; Regionalism; Public Behavior Indo-Pacific; Exit Voice and Loyalty Framework; Life Satisfaction; Government Performance; Trust This study investigates public behavior in Indo-Pacific countries, employing the Exit, Voice, and Loyalty framework. In an era marked by globalization and interconnectedness, citizen choices and actions in the Indo-Pacific region are increasingly influenced by global trends and international relations. Trust in government plays a pivotal role, affected by public scrutiny in an interconnected world and impacting trust levels. Life satisfaction, a reflection of individual well-being, mirrors government performance and is a critical factor. Quantitative analysis, including multinomial logistic regression, using data from the Asian Barometer Survey 2008 unveils noteworthy results. Lower trust in government reduced life satisfaction, and negative government assessments drive exit behavior, with a 15% increase in the likelihood of citizens choosing to exit when trust is low. Conversely, higher life satisfaction and positive government assessments increase the probability of loyalty behavior by 20%, while voice behavior likelihood decreases by 10%. These findings provide valuable insights into public behavior in the Indo-Pacific, emphasizing the roles of trust, life satisfaction, and government performance, supported by numerical evidence. These insights hold significance in the Indo-Pacific's ever-evolving global landscape, serving as a foundation for policymaking and decision-making. Policymakers and researchers can use this knowledge to enhance governance, promote societal well-being, and deepen citizen-government connections in the dynamic Indo-Pacific region.Keywords: Indo-Pacific; Exit Voice and Loyalty Framework; life satisfaction; government performance; trust Institute of International Studies 2024-12-19 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/91046 10.22146/globalsouth.91046 Global South Review; Vol 6, No 2 (2024): Global South Review; 7-18 2685-7790 2685-7782 eng https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/91046/pdf Copyright (c) 2024 Ellie Ophelia Delviolin, George Morris William Tangka http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0

Stakeholders Alignment in CSR Implementation in Southeast Asian Agro-industry Sani, Nabila Talitha Mutiara, Rakyan Sekar Kinanti Pratama, Kevin Rendra International Relations; Social and Political Sciences CSR; Southeast Asia; agriculture; stakeholder theory This article focuses on the broader misalignment of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs by multi-national corporations in Southeast Asia, particularly in the agricultural sector. It explains the likely causes of such impact through the lens of the Stakeholder Theory. The paper aims to illustrate how corporations present and strategize their CSR initiatives, emphasizing that the proposed solutions may only sometimes align with the actual needs of the recipients. Using Freeman's perspective/ This paper argues that an intrinsic disparity exists between the intentions and execution of CSR programs, particularly those initiated by multi-national companies, and the divergence of expectations between corporations acting as implementers and the recipients of these programs. Despite the clear articulation of these requests by most affected locals, multi-national corporations often need help to meet these demands. As a result, the lack of accessible information and limited consumer literacy, coupled with political and commercial branding by ASEAN, creates a conducive environment for CSR misalignments.Keywords: CSR; Southeast Asia; agriculture; stakeholder theory Institute of International Studies 2024-07-10 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/91147 10.22146/globalsouth.91147 Global South Review; Vol 6, No 1 (2024): Global South Review; 19-39 2685-7790 2685-7782 eng https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/91147/pdf Copyright (c) 2024 Nabila Talitha Sani, Rakyan Sekar Kinanti Mutiara, Kevin Rendra Pratama http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0

Three Concepts of Internationalism in the Global South: Solidarism, Pluralism, and Developmentalism Wu, Wenbo International Relations; Social and Political Sciences; History Internationalism; Global South; Solidarism; Pluralism; Developmentalism Throughout modern history, internationalism has been one of the most powerful forces that drives global political changes. While existing research focuses exceptionally on liberal internationalism, studies devoted to internationalism beyond its liberal and Western forms remain relatively scant. Building on a conception that perceives internationalism as a form of human practices, this article explores the evolution of the concept of internationalism in the Global South through a series of political practices from the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 and the 1955 Asian-African Conference in Bandung to the proposal of the New International Economic Order in 1974 and the BRICS’s contestation over NATO’s Libyan intervention in 2011. It is argued that the normative core of internationalism in the Global South is constituted of three major components – pluralism, solidarism, and developmentalism, each in its particular form. Taken together, it envisions an international order rooted in the solidarity of the post-colonial peoples based on their shared colonial past, underpinned by a pluralistic outlook of political life, and places emphasis on redistributive justice in structuring the international economic order. Though some argue that with the rise of the BRICS countries, there will be a revival of Global South internationalism, this article concludes that this is not likely to happen at present.

The Political Economy of Crypto Assets: World Dependency on Digital Financialization Warganegara, Muhd Rafli Ramadhan International Relations; International Political Economy Blockchain; Cryptocurrency; Dependency Theory; Digitalization; the Global South The massive development of technology, the use of data, and information systems have brought the popularity of crypto assets—also known as cryptocurrency—as part of the digital economy in the globalized political economy order. This study aims to capture structuralist criticisms by Karl Marx of crypto assets as a global political economy project and see its massive entanglement in the current global political order. Using the concepts of base and superstructure, this study will dismantle the discourse on the mode of production of commodities that have been questioned based on their digital and intangible commodity. It reveals the reproduction of the surplus labor process as a part of an initial understanding of how the crypto assets work from the social relations network's perspective. In further analysis, this study uses Dependency Theory to view crypto assets as a global system phenomenon that cannot escape the role of multi-sectors that perpetuate the presence of global structuralism in the current global economy. The research utilizes Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to investigate the intertwining relationships between crypto assets and world dependency in the international political economy order.Keywords: blockchain; cryptocurrency; dependency theory; digitalization; Global South Institute of International Studies Department of International Relations Universitas Gadjah Mada 2024-12-19 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/93107 10.22146/globalsouth.93107 Global South Review; Vol 6, No 2 (2024): Global South Review; 68-81 2685-7790 2685-7782 eng https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/93107/pdf https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/downloadSuppFile/93107/31129 Copyright (c) 2024 Muhd Rafli Ramadhan Warganegara http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0

Telkom Indonesia's Strategy for Business Expansion in the Global Market in the Digital Era Ali, Rizki Faisal International Relations; Digital Tranformation and Competitiveness Digital Era; Multinational Enterprise; Global Market, Globalization, Digital Telecommunication Industry Telecommunications service provider companies face challenges in expanding their business in the global market due to rapidly changing technology, one of which is experienced by PT. Telekomunikasi Indonesia (Telkom). Telkom is a leading telecommunications company in Indonesia that significantly contributes to Indonesia's digitization and dominates the country's telecommunications market. As Telkom's business grows, the company expands globally, with implications for its operations in Indonesia. Based on the globalization strategy framework, the analysis acknowledges that the interaction between globalization and technology, sustainability, and politics poses challenges and opportunities for Telkom. The influence of massive digital transformation requires Telkom to restructure its strategies for expansion in the global market by strengthening its position in the national market. Telkom must ensure its position in Indonesia as a state-owned enterprise with significant responsibility for the future of digital Indonesia as a sustainable influence. Regulations that Telkom must face come from both national and international levels as a result of politics. Telkom's strategy is analyzed using three strategies within the globalization strategy framework.

Shifting from ‘AI Solutions’ to ‘AI Coloniality’: Resignification of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Apartheid Warganegara, Muhd Rafli Ramadhan Global Development; Social and Political Sciences Artificial Intelligence; AI Coloniality; Digital Apartheid; Racial Capitalism The study explores the evolving role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) beyond its perceived neutrality, delving into its politicization particularly in the Global South's digitalization context. It argues that once seen as a neutral problem-solving tool, AI has transformed into a politically charged entity, embodying biases rooted in its creation and training processes. This transformation marks a shift towards AI colonialism, where corporate interests intertwine with extensive data extraction practices, raising concerns about extractive colonial power dynamics. The discourse of AI colonialism underscores the interdependence of AI, corporate interests, and the extraction of meaning, prompting a re-evaluation of regulatory frameworks to mitigate profit-driven activities. Furthermore, the article examines how AI's intersection with data extraction facilitates societal surveillance, leading to Digital Apartheid in Sub-Saharan Africa—a manifestation of racial capitalism in the digital age. This Digital Apartheid perpetuates social segregation based on race through AI-driven technologies, exacerbating biases that disproportionately affect people of color. The article advocates for open discussions on digital and AI ethics to address these challenges to counteract racial discrimination and foster a more inclusive and equitable technological landscape. Overall, the abstract highlights the complex socio-political dimensions of AI, urging for proactive measures to mitigate its negative impacts and ensure fair and just technological development.Keywords: artificial intelligence; AI coloniality; digital apartheid; racial capitalism Institute of International Studies Dr. M.

Symbolic Claims in Indonesia's Aid to Pacific Island Countries Mooy, Jeniar Nelsus International Relations; Social and Political Sciences; Development Studies Aid, global South; symbolic claims; solidarity; Indonesia-Pacific Island countries relations Within the discourse of aid in the global South, where a developing country provides foreign aid to another developing country, emerged discussions on the extent to which the symbolic claims presented by the donor to the public (e.g. the aid as being driven by the donor’s sense of mutual respect, horizontality, inclusivity, and solidarity with the recipient) reflect the real motivations behind the aid. Using the case study of Indonesia’s aid to Pacific Island countries (PIC), this research assesses the relations between symbolic claims and critical aid drivers. This research uses a qualitative method and secondary data, which rely mainly on official statements and publications of the Indonesian government. This research found that whilst symbolic claims in Indonesia's aid narratives could strengthen the sense of Southern solidarity and identity with PIC – which is in line with the spirit of South-South empowerment that Indonesia has been championing since the Asia-Africa Conference in 1955, these claims are used mainly to obscure Indonesia’s internal political-security motive. The symbolic claims mask the critical political driver of the aid, which is closely related to Indonesia's interest in maintaining its sovereignty over West Papua province and influencing the stance of PIC about this issue.Keywords: aid; Global South; symbolic claims; solidarity; Indonesia-PIC relations Institute of International Studies 2024-12-19 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/94620 10.22146/globalsouth.94620 Global South Review; Vol 6, No 2 (2024): Global South Review; 19-35 2685-7790 2685-7782 eng https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/94620/pdf Copyright (c) 2024 Jeniar Nelsus Mooy http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0

Understanding South-South Cooperation: A Comparative Analysis with North-South Cooperation Approaches Zavarce Velasquez, Carlos David International Relations, Political Science, Development Cooperation South-South Cooperation; North-South Cooperation; Global South; Sustainable Development; BRICS South-South Cooperation was first conceived at the 1955 Bandung Conference, which led to the foundation of the Non-Aligned Movement in 1961 and other important initiatives within the UN system, such as creating the G77 and elaborating the Buenos Aires Plan of Action. Since the beginning of the century, this cooperation modality has re-emerged and is now considered a catalyst for sustainable development. Given this context, this paper aims to analyze its ideological and political origins, definitions, and evolution, highlighting its importance as an instrument of foreign policy and development cooperation. In addition, a comparison between South-South and North-South Cooperation is made through five dimensions: ideas, institutions/political systems, interests, organizations, and vectors/schemes. Through this comparative approach, the author seeks to present consensual aspects of what is understood as South-South Cooperation and portray the diversity of strategies implemented by countries in the Global South.Keywords: South-South Cooperation; North-South Cooperation; Global South; sustainable developmen; BRICS Institute of International Studies 2024-07-10 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/95038 10.22146/globalsouth.95038 Global South Review; Vol 6, No 1 (2024): Global South Review; 62-83 2685-7790 2685-7782 eng https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/95038/pdf Copyright (c) 2024 Carlos David Zavarce Velasquez http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0

Exploring the Role of Video Games in Shaping Global South Narratives: A Study of Far Cry 2, Far Cry 3, and Mobile Legends hrough the Popular Culture and World Politics (PCWP) Framework Rianto, Fathanaditya International Relations; Popular Culture and World Politics Video Games, Narratives, Global South, Popular Culture,World Politics In the current digital era, video games, which have evolved from ancient times, have become immensely popular media with significant impacts on society. In this context, it is evident that video games are not merely entertainment but also powerful instruments for conveying stories and ideologies, playing a significant role in communicating political and social messages. Through in-depth analysis of various game genres, this study explores how video games can reflect, influence, and even shape our perceptions of power dynamics, government policies, and global conflicts. This aligns with the framework of popular culture and world politics (PCWP), which views popular culture, including video games, as capable of influencing and shaping our perceptions of the Global South. This research also investigates how video games like “Far Cry 2”, “Far Cry 3”, and “Mobile Legends: Bang bang” can be used as tools to promote specific ideologies, both explicitly and implicitly. Employing a qualitative method with a case study approach to analyze narrative content formed within video games, this study, utilizing the PCWP framework, will examine how the stories presented in video games can shape understanding and attitudes toward social, economic, and political dynamics in the Global South.Keywords: video games; narratives; global south; popular culture; world politics Institute of International Studies Gadjah Mada University 2024-12-19 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/95778 10.22146/globalsouth.95778 Global South Review; Vol 6, No 2 (2024): Global South Review; 36-53 2685-7790 2685-7782 eng https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/95778/pdf https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/downloadSuppFile/95778/32691 https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/downloadSuppFile/95778/32692 Copyright (c) 2024 Fathanaditya Rianto http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0

The Growth of Digital Payments in Indonesia: Harnessing Its Influence for SMEs and Indonesia's Competitiveness Maharsi, Hayuningrum Citra Digital Payment System (DPS) growth plays a crucial role in supporting the country's digital economic growth. As a country representing the global south, Indonesia has an important responsibility to manage the dynamics of DPS growth, which is influenced significantly by actors from the government and private sectors. Initially, DPS was designed to provide more efficient and accessible payment services, but over time, the scope of such digital services has expanded. Nevertheless, challenges must be addressed in distributing DPS evenly, especially among MSMEs. Through the approach promoted by the Economic Asian Committee (EAC), this study aims to assess the impact of DPS growth on the digital services ecosystem in Indonesia and the dynamics of interaction between related stakeholders. Qualitative methods are used to summarize information from various sources, including journal literature and data from websites, which provide an in-depth understanding of the complexity of this phenomenon and Indonesia's efforts to improve its overall digital competitiveness. The findings in this study indicate that the Digital Payment System (DPS) offers numerous benefits for the financial system, enhancing efficiency and effectiveness for industrial growth. However, challenges in ensuring equitable usage across all regions of Indonesia remain significant across various sectors.  Keywords: digital payment system; global south actor; MSMEs; digital competitiveness of Indonesia  Institute of International Studies 2024-12-19 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/95934 10.22146/globalsouth.95934 Global South Review; Vol 6, No 2 (2024): Global South Review; 54-67 2685-7790 2685-7782 eng https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/95934/pdf Copyright (c) 2024 Hayuningrum Citra Maharsi http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0

Vietnam’s Hedging Strategy in the US–China Trade War: Geo-economic Response During the First Trump Administration Fatharani, Fitri Choiruzzad, Shofwan Al Banna International Relations; Geoeconomics, Hedging, US-China Trade War, Vietnam. The United States–China trade war placed Vietnam in a strategic yet vulnerable position, as a non-involved country that significantly benefited from trade and investment relocation. This situation contributed to Vietnam’s relative capability growth and created new space for asserting its role in regional economic and political structures. This article analyzes Vietnam’s foreign policy strategy in response to the rivalry between two great powers by applying a geo-economic approach and qualitative research methods. The findings reveal that Vietnam adopts a hedging strategy by undertaking active neutrality, contradictory policy—simultaneously accepting and rejecting dominance—and by diversifying its global partnerships to preserve policy autonomy. Vietnam’s hedging reflects both a function of national interest protection and an effort to leverage the opportunity created by relative capability enhancement amidst structural uncertainty. Thus, hedging emerges as a relevant geo-economic instrument for middle states in navigating major power competition while maintaining strategic space and sovereign decision-making.

Indonesia's View: Eradicating Colonialism and Supporting Palestine Fajriyah, Nurul Setiawati, Siti Muti'ah International Relations Interests, Humanity, Indonesia, Palestine This research aims to analyze the reasons behind Indonesia's continued support for Palestine despite facing challenges both domestically and internationally. The approach used involves the concepts of interest and continuity. From a national interest perspective, Indonesia aims to demonstrate religious and humanitarian solidarity. From an international interest perspective, Indonesia seeks to assert itself as a global leader in human rights, strengthen its camaraderie with developing countries, and fulfill its role as a member of international organizations, such as the UN Security Council and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), in maintaining world peace. Furthermore, Indonesia's support for Palestine has been notably consistent from its early independence until the Jokowi administration. Using an explanatory method and data collection through library research, this study concludes that although Indonesia's support for Palestine has not succeeded in ending the conflict with Israel, these efforts have showcased Indonesia's courage in challenging the status quo and bolstering its diplomatic position and identity in international politics.

The Southern Voice: Zapatista and the Challenge towards Neoliberal Agenda in a Globalized World Gultom, Yosua Saut Marulitua Andara, Namira Naza Hutauruk, Muhammad David Ferdian International Relations; Social and Political Sciences Neoliberal Policies; Globalization; Social Movement; Zapatista The Zapatistas, emerging in the early 1990s in Chiapas, Mexico, advocate for indigenous autonomy, participatory democracy, and social justice, offering a powerful critique of neoliberal globalization. Their decentralized governance model, based on autonomous municipalities known as "caracoles," emphasizes collective consensus, horizontalism, and grassroots self-governance, challenging conventional power structures. This study utilizes qualitative research through literature analysis and frames its discussion within critical perspective. By critiquing neoliberal policies and advocating for indigenous dignity and autonomy, the Zapatistas underscore the detrimental impacts of globalization on marginalized communities, presenting a broader struggle against capitalist exploitation. It explores the Zapatistas’ ideological foundations, strategic resistance to NAFTA, and its critique of neoliberal globalization highlighting its significance for global social movements. The movement’s unique operational model contrasts with Mexico's hierarchical systems, promoting local authority and community empowerment. The Zapatistas' commitment to gender equality, education, healthcare, and improved living standards reflects their vision of a pluralistic and inclusive society. Their slogan, "a world where many worlds fit," continues to inspire contemporary social movements worldwide, advocating for a just and equitable society.

A Postcolonial Analysis of the One Plus-Africa Summits: A New Scramble for Africa? Suleiman, Muhammad Reza Omojuwa, Kayode International Relations and Political Science Africa; Postcolonialism; Global Powers; Neocolonialism; Summit Diplomacy Since the colonial epoch, Africa has functioned as a crucible wherein global powers vie for influence and access to resources, imprinting enduring ramifications on the continent's international relations. Despite attaining political autonomy, Africa grapples with the persistent specters of neocolonialism and economic exploitation. The advent of Great Powers-Africa Summits marks a discernible juncture in global geopolitics, engendering discourse surrounding their underlying motivations and operational modalities. Critics caution that these summits risk perpetuating colonial vestiges, thereby potentially disenfranchising African agency while enabling continued exploitation. This study adopts a postcolonial analytical framework to comparatively scrutinize the Russia-Africa, China-Africa, and France-Africa summits, probing their historical antecedents, motivating factors, and resultant impacts. By advocating for more equitably configured paradigms of international engagement vis-à-vis Africa, this inquiry endeavors to foster the empowerment of African states, foregrounding imperatives of sovereignty, developmental progress, and dignified agency. By examining colonial legacies, divergent impetuses, consequential ramifications, and prospective models of collaborative engagement, this scholarly exposition furnishes nuanced insights into the negotiation of intricate postcolonial power dynamics and the advancement of African prerogatives within the global milieu.

The Lost Soul of Bandung in Indonesia’s Foreign Policy Mulia, Aldi Haydar Prastita, Rama Ardhia Arnanda, Muhammad Daffa International Relations; Foreign Policy Foreign Policy, Bandung Conference, middle power, normative power, foreign policy This article explores Indonesia's evolving role in global diplomacy, focusing on its historical leadership in the Bandung Conference and the subsequent challenges it has faced in maintaining that influence. The study examines two central questions: why the appeal of the Bandung Conference had not elevated Indonesia into prominence, and what challenges and opportunities ahead that should be considered to resolve the issue. Through a qualitative approach, the research analyzes the transformation of Indonesian foreign policy, examining the shift from Sukarno’s commitment to Bandung’s principles to the pragmatic diplomacy of Suharto and beyond. The study draws on the concept of normative power to explain how Indonesia's diplomatic aspirations have often lacked clarity and coherence. The findings highlight the continued relevance of Bandung’s vision in challenging neo-colonial structures, but also underscore the obstacles Indonesia faces, including domestic political instability and inconsistent foreign policy. While cautiously optimistic about Indonesia’s potential to revitalize Bandung’s legacy, the article concludes that achieving this requires clear leadership and alignment with contemporary global issues. Ultimately, this paper contributes to understanding the complexities of postcolonial diplomacy and the future of middle power states, with practical implications for Indonesia's role in a multipolar world.

Decolonizing Diplomacy: A Systematic Review of Southeast Asian Countries' Diplomacy Strategies Rahmadian, Faris Hospes, Otto Termeer, Katrien International Relations; Diplomatic Studies non-western diplomacy; decolonizing diplomacy; diplomacy strategies; southeast asian diplomacy Diplomacy has long played a pivotal role in shaping international relations, yet much of the scholarly literature remains Western-centric, often overlooking the rich traditions and histories of non-Western countries. A key yet frequently neglected moment was the 1955 Bandung Conference, where newly independent Asian and African nations asserted their agency on global stage. Championing non-alignment and solidarity, the conference demonstrated that formerly colonized and marginalized people could articulate and define their own approaches to international relations. This paper takes 1955 as a starting point and addresses these gaps by conducting the first-ever systematic literature review of diplomacy strategies in Southeast Asian (SEA) countries. A total of 92 articles were analyzed using the theory of ideational power, alongside an examination of domestic and international factors shaping these strategies. Taken together, SEA countries employ diverse diplomatic strategies, often favoring informal approaches that emphasize neutrality, foster warm sentiments, and create positive atmospheres. At times, they adopt assertive strategies, such as dismissing opposing ideas or referencing historical events to strengthen their position. Another feature of SEA diplomacy is its strategic positioning among global powers and regional organizations, consistently leveraging their stance. These strategies are shaped by a combination of factors, including leadership, cultural and religious identity, colonial legacies, international pressures, and the role of ASEAN. Reflecting on Bandung’s ideals and the role of ideas in SEA countries, this paper advocates for decolonizing diplomacy by challenging Western-centric narratives and promoting a more inclusive, historically informed understanding of diplomatic practices that value diverse perspectives and experiences.Keywords: non-western diplomacy, decolonizing diplomacy, diplomacy strategies, southeast asian diplomacy Institute of International Studies Public Administration and Policy Group, Wageningen University & Research 2025-05-16 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/103582 10.22146/globalsouth.103582 Global South Review; Vol 7, No 1 (2025): Global South Review; 54-82 2685-7790 2685-7782 eng https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/103582/pdf https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/downloadSuppFile/103582/37059 Copyright (c) 2025 Faris Rahmadian, Otto Hospes, Katrien Termeer http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0

Beyond Hegemony: How KNB Scholarship Program Redefines Indonesia’s Soft Power and Global South Knowledge Production Gerale, Christopher Paller International Relations; Knowledge Production Bandung Conference; Kemitraan Negara Berkembang (KNB) Scholarship Program; Republic of Indonesia; South-South Cooperation; Western-centric Knowledge Hierarchies The Kemitraan Negara Berkembang (KNB) Scholarship Program, launched by the government of the Republic of Indonesia, represents a transformative approach to educational exchange that challenges traditional North-South paradigms. This study adopts several frameworks to comprehensively analyze how the KNB Scholarship Program fosters South-South Cooperation (SSC), disrupts Western-centric knowledge hierarchies, and contributes to capacity building in the Global South. Through a qualitative methodology, the research involves a comprehensive document review of official reports, policy papers, tracer studies, and university evaluations related to the scholarship program, as well as written and oral interviews from the current scholars and alumni and articles, theses, dissertations produced by KNB scholarship recipients. The findings highlight the KNB Scholarship’s role in redefining Indonesia’s soft power and reshaping Global South knowledge production. It serves not only as a means of individual empowerment but also as a catalyst for systemic change, which drives a transformation in the global educational and diplomatic landscape. In line with the Bandung Conference’s spirit of solidarity and self-determination, the KNB Scholarship Program advances Indonesia’s role in shaping a more inclusive and equitable global governance framework, offering valuable insights into the future of educational diplomacy and global power dynamics. By prioritizing Global South solidarity, equitable and sustainable development, and the decolonization of knowledge, the KNB Scholarship Program supports the objectives of promoting Indonesia’s soft power and governance in SSC and challenging the dominance of Western academic and political paradigms—which constitutes “KNB Diplomacy.” Institute of International Studies 2025-05-16 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/103684 10.22146/globalsouth.103684 Global South Review; Vol 7, No 1 (2025): Global South Review; 101-138 2685-7790 2685-7782 eng https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/view/103684/pdf https://journal.ugm.ac.id/globalsouth/article/downloadSuppFile/103684/37062 Copyright (c) 2025 Christopher Paller Gerale http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0

Indonesia Gender and Environmental Empowerment Contour: An Ecofeminist Approach to Joko Widodo’s Development Model Anwar, Muhammad Ikhwan Nuril International Relations; Social and Political Sciences; International Development; Sociology; Anthropology Global South; Ecofeminism; Indonesia Development; Joko Widodo Policies; Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN); Nickel Industry Downstreaming; Food Estate Program; Environmental Justice; Sustainability; Indigenous Participation; Inclusive Development; Marginalized Comm This paper examines the contour of Indonesia’s development under President Joko Widodo, focusing on three prominent megaprojects: the Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN) new capital city project, nickel industry downstreaming, and the Food Estate program. Using an ecofeminist framework developed from previous key literature, this study assesses these projects through the lenses of inclusive participation and indigenous integration, sustainability, and environmental justice. Ecofeminism critiques development models that prioritize economic growth over ecological and social well-being, often at the expense of marginalized communities and the environment. This research adopts a qualitative approach, relying on internet-based data collection from official statements, media sources, and relevant academic articles. The findings reveal that, while these projects are framed as drivers of economic progress, they frequently sideline local communities, overlook sustainable practices, and worsen environmental inequalities. The study highlights the lack of indigenous participation and the uneven distribution of benefits and burdens, reinforcing the need for a more just and inclusive approach to development in Indonesia. This analysis addresses a gap in previous studies on Indonesian development, which have seldom applied a macroscopic ecofeminist perspective to Jokowi’s policies. The findings therefore suggest the importance of integrating local knowledge and sustainable practices in future and existing development endeavors.

From the League against Imperialism to Bandung: The Triumph of Territoriality Shield, Jack International Relations; Post-colonialism bandung; anti-colonial nationalism; territoriality; international order; decolonisation; league against imperialism In his inaugurating speech at the Bandung Conference in 1955, Sukarno plucked out the League against Imperialism as an intellectual and organisational forebear. Yet, while this rightly situated Bandung in a longer history of anti-colonial activity, the discontinuities between these two conferences are equally illuminating. This article sets out to establish one of the legacies of Bandung by tracing backwards rather than forwards. I argue that while the League against Imperialism represented a more diffuse and de-territorialised vision of anti-imperialism, by the time of Bandung, the route from anti-colonialism to post-colonialism was clear: it ran through the territorial nation-state. Thus, the principal contribution of this article to this special issue is to draw attention to this legacy of territorialisation in Bandung. I trace some principal international ‘pulls’ that drove the push towards territoriality. Moreover, I contest the characterisation of Bandung as creating a “pluralist” international order since it rested on this consolidation around a territorial nation-state monoculture in global politics.

Authoritarian Environmentalism and Sustainable Development Explaining China's Ecological Civilization Success and Its Structural Limits for the Post-Colonial Global South Darmawan, Arif Fitrah, Elpeni Miryanti, Renny Anwar, Soni Martin Srirejeki, Kiky Yuliantiningsih, Aryuni Afwa, Ulil Pascarina, Hanifa International Relations; Sustainable Development : Ecological Civilization, China, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Global South In response to the escalating global environmental crisis, China has initiated "Ecological Civilization," a distinctive state-led approach to environmental sustainability and harmonious development. Rooted in Marxist ecological thought and traditional Chinese philosophies emphasizing human-nature harmony, this initiative diverges from Western models and is enshrined in China's constitution and national policies. This essay provides an expert-level analysis of Ecological Civilization, examining its core principles, theoretical foundations (including Taoist and Confucian influences and modern sustainability concepts), and implementation within China. It assesses both successes—such as large-scale afforestation (e.g., Three-North Shelter Forest Program, Grain to Green Program), biodiversity conservation through protected areas and Ecological Conservation Redlines, and advancements in green energy transition —and failures, including persistent pollution, enforcement challenges, and socio-ecological impacts of large infrastructure projects. The analysis explores the strong synergies between Ecological Civilization and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 7 (Energy), SDG 11 (Cities), SDG 13 (Climate Action), SDG 15 (Life on Land), and SDG 12 (Sustainable Consumption). Considering the sustainability efforts and unique challenges faced by Global South countries, this essay distills valuable insights from China's experience.

Colonial Legacies in the Repatriation of Cultural Objects: A Content Analysis of Dutch Policies (2020–2024) Indrarini, Nurul Yeremia Lalisang, Ardhitya Eduard International Relations; Social and Political Sciences Global South; Repatriation; Colonialism; the Netherlands; Indonesia Amid growing global awareness of historical justice and the rights of formerly colonized nations in the Global South over their cultural heritage, the repatriation of colonial cultural objects has become increasingly prominent in Dutch foreign policy. This article analyzes how official Dutch discourse constructs representations of former colonies in government documents concerning cultural object repatriation between 2020 and 2024. Through qualitative content analysis, applying Herrmann et al.'s (1997) image theory, the study identifies narrative patterns that combine recognition of ownership rights with emphasis on procedures and cooperation mechanisms within Dutch policy frameworks. The findings reveal a discursive shift from colonial-era imagery toward partnership rhetoric, yet paternalistic concerns regarding technical standards, conservation, and governance capabilities persist. This representation frames repatriation as an asymmetrical cultural cooperation rather than mere object return. The study contributes to postcolonial international relations scholarship by demonstrating how repatriation discourse serves as an arena for negotiating meaning, legitimacy, and power relations between former colonial powers and newly sovereign states.

Bandung Conference 70 Years On: Visions of Decolonisation for a Multipolar World Order Umar, Ahmad Rizky M. Yuana, Suci Lestari Hakim, Luqman-nul Mas'oed, Mohtar This special issue aims to reflect on the legacies of the Bandung Conference in its 70th anniversary for the emerging multipolar world order. Seven articles in this special issue unpacks the many legacies of the Bandung Conference: from the epistemic visions of a new international order based on self-determination, sovereign equality, and postcolonial justice to the reshaping of the foreign policy of the ‘global south’ countries. We build on the legacies and pitfalls of the Bandung Conference to rethink what it means by, and what should be done for, the decolonisation agenda in world politics. We argue that the Bandung Conference has been able, primarily, to rethink the structure of international politics by embracing three visions of decolonisation: a political vision of territorial sovereignty and self-determination, an economic vision of equality and justice, and an epistemic vision for cultural and intellectual liberation from colonial legacies. However, these visions of decolonisation are threatened by the return of great power politics, sphere of influence, and the further marginalisation of the global south in an emerging multipolar world order. We argue that the global south needs to use opportunities from the multipolar world order to reassert their voices and agencies while at the same time critical of, and rejecting, the underlying imperial logic of the great powers. This special issue lays out some lessons from the Bandung Conference for a multipolar world order in three key sites of new global struggle: a political struggle to defend sovereignty, an economic struggle for global justice, and an intellectual struggle for equal knowledge production. These are the new Bandung visions for a multipolar world order.

Indonesia’s Strategic Diplomacy and BRICS Membership: Opportunities and Risks in a Multipolar Global Order Darwis, Danial Setiawan, Aria Aditya International Relations BRICS; free and active policy; hedging; multipolarity; strategic diplomacy This article analyses Indonesia’s strategic diplomatic manoeuvre in joining BRICS amidst the growing multipolarity of the global order. Using a qualitative case study approach, this paper integrates three key frameworks: Free and Active Foreign Policy, Hedging Strategy, and Multipolarity. The study draws on secondary data from government documents, academic journals, think-tank reports, and international media sources. The findings reveal that Indonesia’s accession to BRICS opens strategic opportunities in South–South economic cooperation, access to alternative development financing, and enhanced geopolitical influence. However, it also presents diplomatic risks such as potential Western pressure, internal dominance within BRICS by major powers, and reputational shifts that may affect ASEAN cohesion. The paper argues that Indonesia adopts a calculated hedging strategy that balances bilateral ties and multilateral engagement to maintain strategic autonomy. This study contributes to existing literature by offering an integrated analytical framework to understand Indonesia’s foreign policy adaptation, while also providing practical insight into the dynamics of middle power diplomacy in the Global South.

The Rise of Emerging Donors: Exploring Motives Behind Indonesian AID’s Development Assistance to African Countries Anwar, Muhammad Faisal Javier Salim, Ahmad International Relations Emerging donors; Development assistance; Indonesian AID;Africa; Motive This research examines the motivations behind Indonesia’s development assistance to African countries through Indonesian AID, highlighting Indonesia within the broader context of the rise of emerging donors in global development. A qualitative explanatory approach was employed, with data collected via semi-structured interviews with a key policymaker and library research. The data were then analyzed using the foreign policy analysis framework with a pluralist perspective, which integrates both domestic and international factors. The findings reveal that Indonesia’s aid to Africa is driven by a combination of pragmatic material interests, such as promoting economic diplomacy and expanding trade opportunities, and normative aspirations, including South-South cooperation and enhancing Indonesia’s international standing. The study under discussion highlights the intersection of several factors, including leaders’ idiosyncrasies, domestic politics, and global politics, which collectively influence the motivations behind aid. This intersection transcends the conventional binary of normative versus material drivers. By focusing on Indonesia’s involvement in Africa, this research addresses a gap in the literature on Indonesia’s developmental assistance, which has predominantly focused on Oceania, thereby illustrating the intricate interplay between domestic and international factors in the foreign aid strategies of emerging donors. The paper concludes that Indonesia’s approach reflects a nuanced donor identity, offering practical implications for understanding the evolving landscape of South-South cooperation and the diversification of global development assistance.

Comparison of Kenya and Ethiopia's Foreign Policies in Response to the Rivalry Between the Great Powers in the Indo-Pacific Gultom, Yosua Saut Marulitua Hikmawan, Rizky International Relations; Regionalism; Indo-Pacific Ethiopia; Great Power Rivalry; Indo-Pacific; Kenya; Neoclassical Realism The transformation of the Asia-Pacific region into the Indo-Pacific has significant implications, expanding the scale of power competition between the United States and its allies and China. This expansion of competition has reached countries in East Africa, including Kenya and Ethiopia. This study seeks to examine how Kenya and Ethiopia respond to the great power rivalry in the Indo-Pacific. This is done using Type III neoclassical realism theory, which argues that structural stimuli such as great power rivalry in the Indo-Pacific will be filtered at the domestic level to achieve foreign policy outcomes. To achieve an objective study, the author employs a comparative qualitative method. Data is collected through literature review, utilizing primary sources such as state speeches, government statements, legal documents, and official reports. These primary sources are further supported by additional sources such as journal articles and news reports. Kenya and Ethiopia exhibit contrasting foreign policies due to differing domestic structures. Kenya employs a pragmatic hedging strategy, engaging multiple powers like the US for military cooperation and China for infrastructure. This multi-alignment is rooted in its diplomatic culture and institutionalized political system with checks and balances. Conversely, Ethiopia's foreign policy is assertive and transactional, prioritizing regime survival. Driven by personalized leadership and weak institutions, it relies heavily on China while having strained relations with the US. Ultimately, domestic filters in neoclassical realism explain Kenya's calculated approach versus Ethiopia's unpredictable, unilateral actions.
