<![CDATA[This article tries to describe the significance of moderate Islam which is becoming a symbol of Indonesian diplomacy during the period of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono’s administration. Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono’s administration showed optimistic attitude that moderate Islam is the Indonesian strategy to position itself amid the opposition discourse between the West and Islam. But it is interesting to see that the implementation of moderate Islam is actually not on its substance. This can be seen in the case of Israeli-Palestinian conflicts which show the ambivalence of Indonesian position. The inconsistent implementation of moderate Islam can also be seen in the Indonesian position towards Iran's nuclear case. SBY’s administration finally had to change its policies from supporting the UN resolution against Iran then abstained in the next resolution. Thus, the moderate Islam that is only applied in the context of imaging instead became a burden for Indonesia's diplomacy.]]>

<![CDATA[The wave of migration of Rohingya refugees has come unstoppably in the waters of Aceh since late 2015. The violence that engulfs the Rohingyas in Myanmar, such as homicide and arson, has forced some Rohingyas to flee. They are trying to survive by moving to areas they consider to be providing protection. With less decent boats, the Rohingyas migrated to the coast of Thailand, Malaysia, to Indonesia. The Armed Forces of the Republic of Indonesia have sought to close the refugee entry into the territory of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia in order to safeguard the security of foreign infiltration. Nevertheless, the Indonesian army continues to assist the refugees by providing food and water supplies to the boat. However, the urge of local and international community finally made the Indonesian government open the territory of Indonesia for Rohingya refugees. Why is the Indonesian government willing to accept Rohingya refugees? What is Indonesian policy towards Rohingya refugees? This article will describe the reasons and steps of the Indonesian government to handle the wave of migration of Rohingya refugees by the end of 2015 as a form of Government of Indonesia's policy towards Rohingya refugees.]]>

Sedangkan Transnasional(isme) menjadi populer ketika hubungan internasional secara teoritik maupun praktik mengakomodasinya seiring kesadaran para akademisi dan praktisi tentang fenomena semakin kaburnya batas teritorial secara fisik maupun non-fisik negara bangsa yang juga populer dengan sebutan globalisasi. Indonesia adalah salah satu negara bangsa yang dikenal dengan penerapan demokrasi dalam sistem politik dan pemerintahannya bahkan klaim tersebut dilakukan sejak kemerdekaan dan pembentukannya. Dalam demokrasi di Indonesia, keberadaan dan peran masyarakat sipil juga diakui bukan saja sabagai syarat dan penanda terjadinya demokratisasi. Lebih dari itu juga berperan secara aktif untuk percepatan dalam mewujudkan demokrasi yang lebih baik. Makalah ini menganalisis tentang pencapaian demokrasi di Indonesia, masyarakat sipil transnasional Indonesia; dan mengajukan gagasan tentang memajukan demokrasi di Indonesia. Dengan mengoperasionalisasikan teori dan konsep defisit demokrasi, demokrasi transnasional, masyarakat sipil transnasional, analisis dilakukan dengan menerapkan konsep-konsep dan teori-teori tersebut secara kritis dan pendekatan kualitatif kritis untuk memahami pencapaian demokrasi, posisi dan peran masyarakat sipil transnasional dalam demokratisasi di Indonesia.

Finally, it found that Neorealism is the most adequate theory among other two theories in analyzing cyber war.]]>

<![CDATA[The main purpose of this paper is to recommend to Indonesia to maintain its national interest of a unified ASEAN on the South China Sea disputes with four policy recommendations. The failure of the 2012 ASEAN Ministerial Meeting was observed as many analysts as the start of a crack in ASEAN as a regional group. With Cambodia’s acting as China’s proxy in the meeting, ASEAN failed to address the issue and to put it in the Joint Communique, although Vietnam and Philippines have insisted the chair to do so. This event led to the rise of suspicions from ASEAN claimant states towards Cambodia and China’s intention. Furthermore, this becomes a proof that ASEAN could no longer be independent as a regional group as China has increased its economic leverage on Cambodia. At the same time, Philippines and Vietnam have increased their bilateral ties with the United States, hoping to increase their leverage and capability vis-à-vis China. Thus, ASEAN is in an unstable state with high possibility of it to be divided into two blocs with the South China Sea still unresolved. One of Indonesia’s main foreign policy interests is a unified, centralized and independent ASEAN as a regional bloc. President Yudhoyono and Foreign Minister Natalegawa reflected this by underscoring the importance of ASEAN and the need to resolve the dispute as soon as possible before further tension occurred. In this case, Indonesia should try to act as the mediator to solve this issue as a neutral player.]]>
