Abstract

Turkey is one of the important actors whose roles cannot not be ignored in understanding the dynamic of Syrian crisis. Turkey used to interfere the neighboring country in order to remove the Syrian regime by backing the opposition groups and building alliance with the western countries. Turkey began to change its foreign policy strategy in Syria in 2016, but still maintained its domestic security and stability interest. This paper is aimed at explaining the relationship between the driving factors and Turkey’s foreign policy strategy change. This research applied the foreign policy decision making approach where determinants were perceived and acted upon by the official governmental decision makers. James Rosenau’s decision making theory was employed to strengthen the approach, consisting of some foreign policy determinants such as external environment, internal environment, information assessment and decision-making process which further affect decision makers to make the state’s foreign policy decision as the output. The finding of the research showed that domestic and international factors encouraged Turkey to change its foreign policy strategy. Such new strategy was that Turkey was collaborating with Russia in seeking the resolution to create stability within Syria and put an end of the severe conflict.

Abstract

This study analyses the implementation of good governance principles for the economic revitalization program under Riau Province’s Badan Restorasi Gambut (Peatland Restoration Agency) supervision. One of the aims of this program is to support the haze-free ASEAN 2020 roadmap. Riau province is an area prone to forest fire disasters. Its peatland area, which is twice as large as Malaysia’s peatland, have a very high potential for damage due to forest fires. To mitigate the damages, BRG initiated the 3R program: Rewetting, Revegetation, and Revitalization. What makes this topic interesting is BRG emphasizes the aspects of economic empowerment of local communities to prevent further forest and peatland damages. To assess the implementation of BRG’s program, our research team conducted several interviews with representatives from Indonesia’s Ministry of Environment and Forestry, NGOs, academics, farmers, and villages’ facilitators who assisted local communities that received the BRG’s assistance packages. Our study shows that BRG’s economic revitalization program had succeeded in creating small scale economic activities such as honey industry, pineapple farming, and catfish farming. However, the ineffective coordination and communication between BRG and the local communities had prevented them from constructing an effective method to prevent future forest fires.

Abstract

Penyebaran Pandemi Covid-19 belum menunjukkan tanda-tanda penurunan yang signifikan, baik di Provinsi Riau maupun di Kota Pekanbaru. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan berbagai upaya ekstra yang dilakukan oleh berbagai pemangku kepentingan, termasuk perguruan tinggi melalui kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat, untuk bekerja sama dengan pemerintah guna secara khusus menghambat penyebaran Covid-19 dan secara umum mencapai Tujuan Pembangunan Berkelanjutan ( SDGs) nomor 3 (Good Health and Well Being). Metode yang diterapkan dalam kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah penyuluhan dan dialog untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan, kesadaran, dan yang terpenting adalah partisipasi pekerja dan pemilik usaha kecil dan mikro sebagai mitra dalam kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini untuk mencegah penyebaran Covid-19. Sebelum adanya kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini, tingkat kedisiplinan dan kepatuhan para pekerja dan pemilik empat rumah makan rekanan sangat rendah karena alasan kelalaian. Pasca pelaksanaan kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat, terjadi peningkatan partisipasi mitra dalam melaksanakan protokol kesehatan Covid-19 dan pencapaian target SDGs nomor 3.

Abstract

This article aims to understand and explain the local context of state’s defense toward non-military threats in Indonesia. As the broading and deepening development of security significance, non-traditional security agenda urges multi-levels and multi-sectors synergy especially in the local government because the nature of non-military threats in Indonesia developed at the local level. First, authors review numbers of literatures about non-traditional security, non-military threats and the securitization theory. Second, the article elaborates the strategic environment—global, regional, and national—and threats perception from the perspective of Indonesia’s defense posture. After that, the article explains securitization aspects of multi-level and multi-sectors synergy on facing the non-military threats at the local level. The result of this research is the synergy of national development, regional development and national defense development needs to be synchronized with the support of clear regulations, considering the available resources to achieve real community welfare, both in terms of income, employment opportunities, business opportunities, access to policy making, competitiveness, and an increase in the human development index. The strategic relations between stakeholders in the synergy of national defense development is essential to achieve formidable defense. Policy socialization between vertical agencies of ministries/institutions and regional governments needs to be optimized and intensified so that there will be a common perception in the management and implementation of national defense development on dealing with non-military threats.

Abstract

Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan bagaimana kegiatan pengabdian memberikan manfaat bagi generasi muda, khususnya siswa tingkat SMA/MA sederajat dalam merespon masalah sampah di kota Pekanbaru. Bahwa masyarakat termasuk siswa belum memiliki cukup kesadaran terhadap Tujuan Pembangunan Berkelanjutan (SDGs) bila dikaitkan dengan masalah sampah merupakan alasan utama pelaksanaan kegiatan pengabdian ini. Kegiatan pengabdian dilaksanakan dalam bentuk pelatihan dan pemberdayaan yang melibatkan keaktifan peserta. Kegiatan ini telah menunjukkan beberapa hasil yang positif seperti pemahaman peserta terhadap masalah sampah di Kota Pekanbaru dan tujuan SDGs serta kesadaran terhadap peran dan kontribusi mereka dalam menciptakan lingkungan bebas sampah. Ini diharapkan dapat membantu mencapai dua dari tujuan SDGs yaitu; kota dan masyarakat yang berkelanjutan; dan konsumsi dan produksi yang bertanggungjawab dari pihak non-pemerintah.

Abstract

ABSTRACT This study reveals the movement of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) from two perspectives that are essentially contradictory. These two points of view are related to the relationship between the distribution of capabilities between actors in the Middle East and ISIS movements. The first point of view sees that ISIS is a consequence of the distribution of capability of actors in the Middle East, while the second point of view sees that ISIS is a determinant of the distribution of capabilities in the Middle East. There are two main arguments to see the relationship between the distribution of actor capabilities in the current international system and the emergence and development of ISIS. First, the distribution of capability of actors in the international system (Middle East) caused ISIS to be borned and developed. Second, on the contrary, the movement and development of ISIS in the Middle East influenced the distribution of capability of related actors in the international system (Middle East and surrounding areas). The first thesis emphasizes that the distribution of capabilities and conditions of the international system in the Middle East triggered/motivated the birth of ISIS. In this case ISIS becomes dependent variable. Then, the second thesis emphasizes the influence of ISIS on the conditions of the international system. It means that, it is ISIS movement that influenced the distribution of capabilities among actors in the international system. The distribution of US power that decided to enter the Middle East [starting from the participation of the United States in the Gulf War, the invasion of Iraq, the Arab Spring, etc.] triggered the birth of protest movements which led to the Asymmetric War against terrorism. The participation of other major countries in the Middle East conflict contributed to the situation in the Middle East. The distribution of power in Iraq and Syria greatly affected the birth of ISIS. Keywords: ISIS, Arab Spring, United States of America, Power Distribution ABSTRAK Penelitian menjelaskan gerakan Islamic State of Iraq and Syiria (ISIS) dari dua perspektif yang berbeda. Kedua perspektif tersebut berkaitan dengan distribusi kapabilitas antara berbagai aktor di Timur Tengah dan ISIS. Perspektif pertama melihat bahwa ISIS merupakan konsekuensi dari distribusi kapabilitas aktor di Timur Tengah, sementara perspektif kedua melihat bahwa ISIS merupakan determinan distribusi kapabilitas tersebut. Terdapat dua argumen untuk melihat hubungan antara distribusi kapabilitas aktor dalam sistem internasional kontemporer dan kemunculan sekaligus perkembangan ISIS. Pertama, distribusi kapabilitas aktor sistem internasional pada tingkat kawasan Timur Tengah menjadi penyebab kemunculan dan perkembangan ISIS. Kedua, pergerakan dan perkembangan ISIS di Timur Tengah dipengaruhi oleh oleh distribusi kapabilitas aktor-aktor terkait dalam sistem internasional di Timur Tengah dan kawasan sekitarnya. Argumen pertama menekankan bahwa distribusi kapabilitas dan kondisi sistem internasional di Timur Tengah menjadi penyebab kemunculan ISIS. Dalam hal ini ISIS menjadi variabel dependen. Argumen kedua menekankan pengaruh ISIS terhadap kondisi kapabilitas antar aktor dalam sistem internasional. Hal ini menunjukan bahwa ISIS lah yang mempengaruhi kapabilitas antar aktor dalam sistem internasional tersebut. Distribusi kekuatan Amerika Serikat yang memutuskan untuk mencampuri permasalahan di Timur Tengah [mulai dari keterlibatan Amerika dalam Perang Teluk, invansi ke Irak, Arab Spring, dan lain-lain] memicu lahirnya gerakan protes yang mengarah pada perang asimetris melawan terorisme. Keterlibatan negara lain dalam konflik Timur Tengah juga turut memberikan kontribusi terhadap situasi Timur Tengah saat ini. Distribusi kekuatan aktor di Irak dan Suriah yang pada akhirnya mendorong kelahiran ISIS. Kata kunci: ISIS, Arab Spring, Amerika Serikat, distribusi kekuatan

Abstract

Nasionalisme bangsa dalam ancaman manakala kaum mudanya begitu terlalaikan dengan segala gemerlap teknologi akibat arus globalisasi. Berada di bawah gemerlap teknologi bisa jadi menghasilkan gelembung-gelembung delusi persepsi yang memudarkan rasa cinta tanah air. Begitulah kiranya sisi buruk yang timbul akibat globalisasi walaupun sebenarnya nasionalisme dan globalisasi bukanalah sebuah konsep oksimoron. Akan tetapi, akibat kondisi geografis yang langsung berhadapan dengan dua benua dan dua samudra, konsep oksimoron menjadi realita yang menjadi ujian nyata bagi nasionalisme elit pemuda di Provisi Riau. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode survei. Survei dilakukan terhadap elit organisasi kepemudaan di Provinsi Riau dan beberapa daerah Kab/Kota. Penelitian ini diharapkan menjadi poin rekomendasi kepada pemerintah dalam merumuskan kebijakan kepemudaan dan organisasi kepemudaan dalam upaya meningkatkan dan mengaktualisasikan nasionalisme dikalangan pemuda.

Abstract

The ASEAN’s haze-free roadmap 2020 had the objective to eliminate the regional transboundary haze pollution. However, the 2019 haze recurrence which mostly originated from Indonesia’s land and forest had caused a diplomatic uproar between Indonesian and Malaysian top government officials. In addition, land and forest fires continued to occur in Indonesia over the last 5 years, albeit with a much lower severity compared to 2015, and did not gain global media attention as the haze rarely crossed out of Indonesia’s jurisdiction. This research applies qualitative research method where the data collection is based on semi-structured interviews involving multi-stakeholders in Riau Province. Additional data are also collected from various journals, books, and news from media archival. The finding of this research discloses that several new policies and programs have been created and introduced since the last 5 years provided an early positive start, however, further implementation on the ground has been weak and complicated. Furthermore, previous, current, and future unchanged negligence behavior of government elites and public in Riau towards the land and forest fires has left the post – ASEAN’s haze-free roadmap 2020 with an equal or more amount of homework in the future. Thus, Indonesia needs to pay more attention and work in a sustainable manner on this issue, especially at the local level such as in Riau province and other land and forest fire-prone provinces in order to strengthen Indonesia's environmental diplomacy bargaining position in the globe and enlighten the current gloomy image in the future.
