Abstract

In recent years, there has been a concerning rise in the frequency of conflicts within various regions. These conflicts stem from a complex interplay of economic, social, and cultural factors. This study sets out to discern the key determinants that shape the overall level of peace and stability within Central Java province. A qualitative descriptive approach is used to comprehensively investigate the factors influencing social vulnerability. The analysis of available data unveils an encouraging decrease in reported crime rates, reflecting positive strides in law enforcement and security measures. However, it is crucial to note that certain indicators suggestive of heightened vulnerability have exhibited worrisome trends. Factors like unemployment and poverty have shown an alarming upward trajectory, warranting closer examination and targeted interventions. Conversely, the declining trend in school dropout rates could be interpreted as a positive sign, potentially contributing to a more conducive environment within the region. This study underscores the need for a comprehensive understanding of the evolving dynamics of vulnerability and peace-building, providing valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders in Central Java and beyond.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of border control in containing the spread of COVID-19. Through a literature review and discourse analysis, the study examines the pandemic response of China, the UK, Brunei Darussalam, Australia, and Germany, with a focus on their border control policies. The data collected suggests that countries with closed borders were more successful in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic in terms of health statistics, such as the prevention of infection, hospitalization cases, and death rates. Effective domestic public health measures, including mask mandates and social distancing, were also found to be critical components of successful pandemic containment protocols. However, the study also highlights the impact of domestic and international relations and political perceptions on shaping each government’s pandemic response. The role of the economy was identified as the biggest factor contributing to the government decision to close their borders, with regime type considered to a certain extent as it allows for less pushback towards policy changes. Overall, the study suggests that a combination of effective domestic public health measures and border controls is critical to containing the spread of COVID-19.
