In 2018, they formed Indonesia-Australia Comprehensive Strategic Partnership (IA-CSP) to enhance their partnerships in strategic sectors for the stability of regional security in the Indo-Pacific. However, the problem came up in 2021 when Australia established trilateral defense cooperation AUKUS with the United Kingdom and the United States. This cooperation facilitates Australia to have nuclear-powered submarines to strengthen its military power. This cooperation has raised the eyebrows of Indonesia as it is against IA-CSP’s pillars, particularly pillar on securing the two countries and the region’s shared interest, and pillar on contributing to Indo-Pacific stability and prosperity. Therefore, Indonesia regretted Australia’s participation in AUKUS because the former deemed the latter to have violated its commitment on IA-CSP. This research aims to analyze IA-CSP’s opportunities and challenges post-establishment of AUKUS. It used a qualitative method, with interviews and literature review in place to collect data. The authors used regional security complex theory and strategic partnership concept for analysis. This research found that AUKUS does not disrupt the implementation of IA-CSP because the cooperation instead provides opportunities that Indonesia can utilize for its national interest. However, AUKUS poses challenges that Indonesia needs to tackle.

In 2018, both countries agreed to enhance the partnership through the Indonesia-Australia Comprehensive Strategic Partnership (IA-CSP). Through the IA-CSP, both countries are committed to increasing cooperation in strategic sectors and maintaining the security stability of each country and the Indo-Pacific. However, in 2021 Australia formed a defense alliance with the United States and the United Kingdom under the name AUKUS. The main objective of the AUKUS defense alliance is to increase Australia’s military capabilities by procuring nuclear-powered submarines. This condition is contrary to the IA-CSP’s pillars, especially the third and fifth pillar. By using a qualitative approach and interviews and literature studies as data collection methods, this article was written to analyze the implementation of IA-CSP after the formation of the AUKUS defense alliance. To understand and explain that issue, the authors use strategic partnership theory, defense alliance concept, and collective security concept. Based on this study, the authors found that the existence of this alliance did not directly hinder the implementation of the IA-CSP because both countries tend to be able to lower their respective egos in various situations and conditions to keep working together on strategic issues.

As a regional power, China’s responsibility continues to grow during the formation of “the 21st Century Silk Road” to achieve “Chinese Dreams”. By using methodology of qualitative research with techniques of interviews, the results found that China succeeded in influencing regional countries and institutions through China's foreign and security policy strategy to changes Asia from conflict into harmony (kerukunan). These changes namely the policies to Embrace Uygurs and Taiwan, Asia and Trans-Asia Multilateralism, Peace on the Korean Peninsula, Sub-regional powers as the Asia Harmony Embryo, DOC and COC Policies in the South China Sea, SAAARC and Strategic Cooperation in South Asia, SCO and Joint Security in Asia and Across Asia, as well as BRICS and Strengthening of Inter-Regional Power Economies.

Namun, hubungan antara Tiongkok dan Indonesia tidak selalu berjalan harmonis. Pada tahun 1967, hubungan Tiongkok-Indonesia sempat memburuk sehingga dibutuhkan sekitar 23 tahun untuk menormalisasi hubungan kedua negara. Meskipun hubungan tersebut perlahan-lahan membaik, citra Tiongkok sebagai negara komunis yang buruk sudah terlanjur melekat dalam ingatan masyarakat Indonesia. Hal ini masih ditambah dengan isu-isu yang tergolong sensitif seperti isu diskriminasi terhadap minoritas Uyghur di Xinjiang dan pelarangan atribut agama oleh pemerintah Tiongkok yang menambah ketidaksukaan sebagian masyarakat Indonesia, terutama umat Muslim, terhadap Tiongkok. Oleh sebab itu, Tiongkok bekerja sama dengan berbagai institusi perguruan tinggi di Indonesia melalui Confucius Institute. Upaya tersebut dilakukan dengan mendirikan cabang Confucius Institute di berbagai perguruan tinggi. Salah satunya di Universitas Al Azhar Indonesia. Universitas Al Azhar Indonesia dipandang sebagai representasi masyarakat Muslim moderat Indonesia yang dapat dijadikan sebagai mitra untuk mengikis berbagai stigma negatif Tiongkok di kalangan umat Muslim. Kegiatan dilaksanakan melalui diplomasi budaya dengan mengajarkan Bahasa Mandarin dan memperkenalkan budaya Tiongkok. Langkah ini diharapkan mampu memperbaiki citra sekaligus menjembatani people-to-people relations antara Tiongkok dan masyarakat Muslim moderat Indonesia. Terkait hal ini, penulis akan membahas sejauh mana efektivitas Confucius Institute dalam membangun people-to-peole relations antarkedua pihak dengan studi kasus di Universitas Al Azhar Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan mixed methods dan jenis penelitian eksplanatif.

As a supranational organization, its member states agreed to give some of their sovereignty to the European Union to gain a larger collective power and influence. This includes the free movement of capital, goods, service, and people over borders and the abolishment of border control within the European Union through the Schengen Agreement and Schengen Convention, which acts as its implementing instrument. However, a series of terrorist acts of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in a number of European states in 2015-2016 proves that the Schengen system still has some fragility. The fragility of Schengen system can be seen as a group of ISIS members took a benefit from the free movement within the Schengen zone to perform their actions. The vulnerability of Schengen system is related to the failure of the European Union states to overcome their national security problems since the “lost” of sovereignty through the system gave some opportunity to the terrorists to move over the states’ boundaries with ease. In this article, the writer will study the relevance of the Schengen Agreement after that series of terrorist acts.

China's increasing influence in the region has made the inclusive regional institutions no longer relevant because no party is able to match the economic and military power of China. Japan uses the momentum to initiate a new regionalism discourse that is more open by inviting extra-regional actors in East Asian regional institutions, as a counterbalance strategy against China.
