IIS Monograph Series #9 | Damai Pangkal Damai – Tidak Baik-Baik Saja: Refleksi Perlawanan Nirkekerasan di Indonesia dan Dunia 2024

/in , , , /by

2024 bisa disebut sebagai tahun pemilihan umum. Betapa tidak, lebih dari setengah penduduk dunia tinggal di negara yang menghelat pemilihan umum pada tahun itu. Sayangnya, di banyak tempat, ajang yang seharusnya menjadi “pesta demokrasi” tersebut belum berhasil mengadang, apalagi memukul balik proses otokratisasi yang telah berlangsung secara global hampir dua dekade terakhir. Tidak ada pilihan selain memperkuat dan memperluas perlawanan nirkekerasan yang telah dilalukan selama ini.

Di Indonesia, ribuan orang turun ke jalan menjawab panggilan “Garuda Biru.” Di Korea Selatan, Bangladesh, dan Guatemala, warga memakzulkan presiden yang mengkhianati semangat demokrasi. Bahkan, di tengah represi yang kuat, warga Iran dan Afghanistan terus melawan, meski terkadang melakukannya secara lebih tersembunyi.

STAIR and the Futures of International Relations from Indonesia is more than a book—it’s a manifesto for reimagining global politics through the lens of the Global South!

From the birth of the STAIR Community in Indonesia to the urgency of decolonizing IR studies, this monograph challenges the traditional perspectives by incorporating critical approaches, such as phenomenology, the politics of technology, and aesthetics into international studies. This STAIR monograph invites us to embrace new ways of thinking about IR!

IIS Monograph Series #7 | No Man’s Land No Longer: Kontestasi Sumber Daya dan Geopolitik di Kawasan Arktik

/in , , /by

Alih-alih dipandang sebagai kawasan terabaikan, Arktik kini bertransformasi menjadi kawasan strategis yang kaya sumber daya alam serta jalur pelayaran baru akibat mencairnya es. Berbagai negara mulai memperebutkan kawasan Arktik untuk memperluas pengaruh serta mengamankan kepentingan tanpa memperhatikan keberlanjutan eksistensi masyarakat adat Arktik. Implikasinya, masyarakat adat Arktik kerap diperlakukan sebagai subjek pasif. Dengan berbagai tekanan terhadap pergulatan geopolitik dan kontestasi sumber daya antarnegara, masyarakat adat secara simultan menemukan cara untuk turut terlibat aktif dalam dinamika tersebut.

IIS Research Monograph berjudul No Man’s Land No Longer: Kontestasi Sumber Daya dan Geopolitik di Kawasan Arktik akan membahas dinamika reposisi Arktik dari kawasan yang terabaikan menjadi arena pergulatan geopolitik dengan tiga konteks diskursif besar: (1) Kolonialisme hingga Perang Dingin, (2) Pasca-Perang Dingin, dan (3) Tata dunia pasca-unipolar.

/in , , , /by

On April 29, 2024, NATO Secretary General (Jens Stoltenberg) visited Kyiv to reaffirm NATO’s support for Ukraine amid the ongoing war with Russia. Two weeks later, Vladimir Putin visited Beijing, marking the first meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in over six months. It raised questions about the timing and significance of the visit, especially in light of recent developments between Russia and China and Stoltenberg’s earlier visit to Ukraine. How the meeting between NATO and Ukraine served as a stimulus for Russia that eventually led to its response in the form of engagement with China? This episode of IIS Brief will analyze the Putin’s visit to Beijing on May 2024 using the stimulus-response theory.
