Abstract

AbstractThe present research endeavours to explore the ramifications of the Indonesian diaspora in the Philippines on human security. It scrutinises the encounters of Indonesian migrants and their probable effects on the security dynamics of individuals, communities, and regions. This article employs an interdisciplinary methodology, utilising sources such as policy reports, and academic literature. The present study initiates by examining the underlying determinants that propel Indonesian migration towards the Philippines, including but not limited to economic prospects, social connections, and geopolitical dynamics. The subsequent discussion pertains to the difficulties encountered by the Indonesian diaspora, encompassing issues of assimilation into society, the availability of educational and medical resources, and instances of prejudice. The research subsequently analyses the implications of these challenges on human security, with a specific focus on three dimensions: (1) the security and well-being of individuals; (2) the cohesion of communities and social stability; and (3) the dynamics of regional security. The results underscore the interrelatedness of these aspects and underscore the necessity of a thorough and interdisciplinary strategy in tackling the human security issues that emerge from the existence of the Indonesian diaspora in the Philippines. The article concludes by underscoring the significance of a cooperative endeavour among the governments of Indonesia and the Philippines, civil society organisations, and the global community to alleviate the adverse effects of migration and advance the welfare of the Indonesian diaspora and the communities where they reside.Keywords: Human Security, Indonesian Diaspora, Social, Political Dimensions AbstrakPenelitian ini berupaya untuk mengeksplorasi konsekuensi diaspora Indonesia di Filipina terhadap keamanan manusia.
