Journal of Global Strategic Studies aims to become one of the preeminent journals in Political Science, notably on International Relations, Comparative Politics, and Area Studies. At this point we publish our issues twice a year, in June and in December. Depending on the number of submissions, we may increase the frequency of our publication in the future. We welcome submission on foreign policy, security studies, democracy, political psychology – anything that is interesting and high quality. As we also aim to inform policy makers and stimulate debates in political science, and thus, we are publishing both research articles and essays – so this journal will be part academic and policy journal. We also welcome and publish book reviews and short essays that question the findings and arguments in articles that we published.

Abstract

This article discusses the formation of Ukrainian state identity in the struggle for the status of an independent Ukrainian Orthodox Church from the Moscow Patriarchate. Since Ukraine's independence in 1991, the country has had two national churches and one Orthodox church originating from Russia, namely the Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Moscow Patriarchate. The presence of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Moscow Patriarchate prompted national church figures to establish an independent (autocephalous) church to become a truly independent country without Russian oversight. However, establishing this church was difficult due to Russian intervention until events occurred that successfully pushed for the ratification of Autocephaly status in 2019. Using Ted Hopf's Constructivism theory regarding identity formed from a country's interaction with external actors and its internal construction, this article examines events between Ukraine and Russia and the social construction within Ukraine. It also highlights the strong public opinion, church actions, and government actions unified in one identity: an independent Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

Abstract

The effort to repatriate funds stored abroad by Indonesian citizens, as part of the 2016 Tax Amnesty Program by the government, was deemed a failure. Only 14% of the expected funds were brought back into the country. This is very disappointing, considering the government needs substantial funds to support the financing of Indonesia's economic development, especially physical economic infrastructure development. Given that a significant portion of the funds held abroad by Indonesians is in Singapore and that the Indonesian government had requested Singapore's assistance to facilitate the repatriation of these funds, this phenomenon raises interesting questions. There are even suspicions that the Singaporean government did not care enough, and may have even hindered these repatriation efforts. This paper attempts to highlight this issue and place it within the study of a central concept in political science and international relations, namely power. Considering physical geographical size (Indonesia being the largest), demographic (the largest population), and economic (the largest GDP), why can the much larger country not influence the smaller one? Why is “Goliath” powerless in front of “Lilliput”? This case triggers a theoretical discussion about the meaning of power in political science and international relations analysis. How is power discussed in this body of knowledge? Among the various approaches in the literature, one that aptly describes the situation where the "large" is powerless against the "small" is Benjamin Cohen's "power of the balance of payment."

Abstract

Counterterrorism has become a global trend since 9/11. Following the incident, the U.S. launched the Global War on Terror, which developed numerous international partnerships in dealing with terrorism. This included the Southeast Asia region. Most ASEAN countries have leveraged their cooperation through counterterrorism diplomacy ever since. This approach, however, endorsed the law enforcement agency due to the adopted criminal justice model. With the rise of the Islamic State (IS) movement, which links with various terrorist networks, the threat of terrorism has gained more attention in Southeast Asia, particularly after the Marawi incident. Complicatedly, the IS merged with separatist and terrorist groups in the South Philippines. Many observers predicted that if it is still uncontrollable, it may create a spillover to surrounding ASEAN countries. Thus, this circumstance has generated an opportunity for greater collaboration among ASEAN countries in dealing with ISIS in the region. Unlike past cooperation, this new chapter may facilitate a more substantial portion of military-to-military engagement. Counterterrorism diplomacy may potentially strengthen regional engagement, which has been restrained due to the South China Sea dispute with China.
