Ethnic food has the ability to contribute to the growth, promotion, and strengthening of intercultural connections. Recently, Indonesia has launched a gastrodiplomacy strategy, named ‘Indonesia Spice Up the World’ (ISUTW). ISUTW aims to increase spice exports to USD 2 billion by 2024 and present Indonesian ethnic foods toward the establishment of 4,000 Indonesian restaurants abroad. Australia as one of the closest neighbor countries is considered to be a strategic target nation. This study serves a dual purpose: first, to investigate the state of culinary traditions embraced by the Indonesian business owners working in culinary business in Australia and, second, to recognize the role of Indonesian diasporas, including students, who also partake in introducing distinctive Indonesian ethnic foods to both native Australians and fellow Indonesian residents in Australia. In this study, ...

The Netherlands, with its strong historical links with Indonesia, plays a pivotal role in Indonesian gastrodiplomacy. However, the Indonesian government has not yet paid attention to the importance of harnessing the existence of diasporas and targeting the Netherlands as a strategic country of implementation in the context of strengthening Indonesian gastrodiplomacy. This article suggests that Indonesian diasporas, through representation in restaurants, could be a ‘frontline messenger’ in introducing Indonesian foods to the Netherlands and be the anchor of gastrodiplomacy. While Indonesia is now strategising gastrodiplomacy, diasporas are of the utmost importance in winning the hearts and minds of the public.

Focusing on Indonesian diaspora organizations in Europe, namely Indonesian Diaspora Networks (IDN) in the Netherlands and France who are eager to come together, build organizations based on a common identity, and contribute to Indonesia. The newly-emerged concept of hometown transnationalism is used to explain the phenomenon in which collective remittances through development projects are the main output of diasporas� contribution. Qualitative method is applied to this study through a set of in-depth interviews, a study of life history, and literature review completed by site visits to observe diasporas� works. The results of this study show that the emergence of various diaspora organizations is the impact of the increasingly rapid movement of people and technological developments, thus encouraging the diaspora to be more connected t...

Pemilihan umum pada tahun 2010 telah mengubah sistem pemerintahan Myanmar dari dominasi militer junta menuju pemerintahan sipil di bawah Presiden terpilih, U Thein Sein. Kondisi ini mendorong Myanmar untuk melakukan perbaikan kualitas demokrasi dengan segera. Hal ini juga dilihat sebagai kesempatan bagi Uni Eropa sebagai aktor normatif untuk mempromosikan norma-norma demokrasi dan sampai batas tertentu, memberikan kontribusi untuk peningkatan demokrasi di Myanmar. Menggunakan metodologi kualitatif, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memeriksa sejauh mana kontribusi Uni Eropa dalam promosi demokrasi telah membawa peningkatan demokrasi di Myanmar dengan berpedoman pada tiga model promosi demokrasi, yakni linkage, leverage, dan governance. Penelitian ini juga bermaksud untuk menentukan model mana yang dianggap paling efektif bagi Uni Eropa untuk peningkatan demokrasi di Myanmar. Berdasarkan penelit...

Securitization theory formulated by the Copenhagen School expounds a set of securitization process by which a certain issue can be categorized as a security issue that should be concerned. In securitization process, an issue should follow three stages: a) non-politicized; b) politicized; c) securitized. Speech act and the acceptance of audience are also paramount in the process. Throughout these steps, the extent to which ASEAN has put endeavor to securitize women’s rights can be determined. At the regional level, attempts through declarations and commitments among member states can be analyzed to indicate ASEAN’s concrete endeavor to take into account women’s rights as an issue that should be securitized. In the meantime, at the state level, Myanmar, a newly democratic country in Southeast Asia, will be analyzed. Women’s rights in Myanmar are of grave con...

Limited movements due to travel restriction and health protection confine people’s activities, including the research process. Postponing research activities is arguably not the best solution for scholars, mainly while conducting data collection. In social and humanities research, researchers mostly undertake data collection through field studies and face-to-face communications prior to the pandemic. Social distancing procedures, however, encourage people to avoid close contacts and cancel visit plans. Thus, researchers are necessary to find an alternative method during uncertainty situation. Digital research method (DRM) seems to be a plausible way to keep research ongoing, although the implementation of that method in the developing countries’ research activities, compared to the developed countries, remains lagging behind.

Hal ini menjadikan aktor-aktor negara semakin saling terhubung dan saling bergantung. Pada kondisi tersebut, tiga kondisi global yang patut menjadi perhatian dunia saat ini, yaitu: (1) dampak konflik Rusia-Ukraina, yang telah menjadi perang berkepanjangan dan berdampak global; (2) keberadaan G20; (3) peran negara kekuatan menengah, khususnya Indonesia, dalam melindungi kepentingan nasional. Sebagai kekuatan menengah dan pemegang Presidensi G20 tahun ini, Indonesia mempunyai kesempatan besar untuk dapat berperan dan berkontribusi dalam kondisi global tersebut dengan tetap memprioritaskan kepentingan nasionalnya di tengah kondisi global saat ini. Menggunakan metode kualitatif, penelitian ini melihat peran Indonesia di tengah disrupsi geopolitik konflik Rusia-Ukraina dalam posisinya sebagai kekuatan menengah di G20.
