Singapore is a country that implements a foreign direct investment policy to advance its economy. The implementation of those policies is classified as a two-pronged sword because it also ensures the privacy and security of corrupt money investments from other countries. Because of this, many Indonesian citizens are involved in money laundering through investments in Singapore. There were cases of money laundering with the value reaching at least Rp 9,427 trillion Indonesian money in Singapore in 2016 alone. The question is why Singapore tried to mute and undermine Indonesian tax amnesty? The purpose of this paper is to find the causes of the problem. Theory and the concept that will be used by the writer are Foreign Direct Investment Theory by David K. Eitemen and Money Laundering Concept itself. This paper uses an explanative qualitative method, and a literature study to obtain the data to strengthen this paper. Based on the case and the problem, the author concluded that the economy of Singapore will be threatened by the Indonesian Tax Amnesty policy, although not majorly, considering that even though they are a country of investment, they have a strong economy, to begin with.

This paper emphasizes the analysis of Indonesia's geopolitical perspective through international cooperation that is part of Indonesia's geopolitics in the Indo-Pacific region.

Tulisan ini memiliki tujuan untuk mendeskripsikan ancaman perdamaian di Venezuela, yang terjadi pada masa pemerintahan Nicolas Maduro. Urgensi dari penelitian ini ialah, adanya kemerosotan demokrasi yang terjadi di Venezuela pasca sepeninggalan Chavez. Maduro merupakan presiden yang terpilih untuk menggantikan Chavez di tahun 2013. Ketidakstabilan politik dan ekonomi serta kemerosotan demokrasi memungkinkan adanya ancaman perdamaian di Venezuela. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif-kualitatif dengan pengumpulan data menggunakan studi kepustakan. Kantian Triangle yang merupakan bagian dari democratic peace theory milik Immanuel Kant, akan menjadi alat analisis dalam penelitian ini. Dalam Kantian Triangle ditetapkan tiga faktor untuk dapat mencapai perdamaian, yakni: (1) sistem pemerintahan demokrasi, (2) adanya ketergantungan antar negara, dan (3) keterlibatan negara di dalam institusi internasional. Hasil dari penelitian menunjukkan jika Venezuela tidak mampu memenuhi tiga faktor yang ada. Pertama, telah terkikisnya nilai-nilai demokrasi di negara tersebut. Kedua, ketergantungan dengan negara lain sulit terwujud. Hal ini dikarenakan kebijakan Maduro yang merugikan para investor dan banyaknya isu kemanusian di Venezuela. Image pemerintahan Maduro yang buruk menyulitkan terjalinnya hubungan baik dengan negara lain. Ketiga, meskipun aktif di PBB, tetapi Venezuela terus melakukan pelanggaran peraturan dan prinsip-prinsip dari organisasi tersebut. Tidak terpenuhinya tiga faktor di dalam Kantian Triangle dapat memberikan ancaman perdamaian di Venezuela. Kata Kunci: Ancaman Perdamaian, Kemerosotan Demokrasi, Nicolas Maduro, Venezuela.

Transboundary haze pollution (PALB) has developed into a critical concern for Southeast Asian countries in terms of transboundary issues and national security. This study aims to provide an understanding of the non-traditional threats that have become significant in front of countries, to demonstrate that the PALB issue is worthy of being included in the Non-Traditional Security (KNT) study, to provide an in-depth analysis of how the securitization transformation process has affected PALB issues in Singapore, to correlate the involvement of various actors in the ongoing securitization process, and to evaluate. This research uses a qualitative methodology to connect one variable to another in a direct and constructive manner, drawing on a broad theoretical foundation, most notably constructivism. It can be inferred that the government possesses complete authority to secure the smog issue. The community's response is critical in determining the success of haze securitization. Additionally, mass media and social media play a critical role in channeling popular opinion. Keywords: existential threat; securitization policy; constructivism approach; transboundary haze pollution; speech act

Sekitar dua dekade terakhir, Pulau Sumba mengalami pergeseran pola penghidupan pasca pemekaran empat kabupaten di wilayah tersebut. Perubahan tersebut diawali dengan program pembangunan di Indonesia melalui perluasan agro-industrial di wilayah yang dianggap kurang subur. Selain itu karakteristik wilayahnya yang berbukit dengan padang rumput yang luas dan juga tradisi masyarakat adat Marapu di Sumba telah menarik perhatian industri pariwisata. Oleh sebab itu, masyarakat adat mengalami peralihan sistem kepemilikan lahan dan sebagian mereka beralih pada strategi penghidupan pengelolaan pertanian kecil hingga aktivitas nonpertanian, seperti pertambangan atau menjadi tenaga kerja migran. Perubahan ini juga mempengaruhi pembagian kerja gender dan juga nilai simbolis masyarakat adat Sumba, seperti aktivitas menenun yang dilakukan oleh para perempuan. Mereka memanfaatkan keterampilan yang mereka peroleh secara turun-temurun untuk merespon kondisi tersebut dan menunjang resiliensi keluarga dan komunitasnya. Untuk memahami perubahan kondisi penghidupan, makna simbol, serta narasi perempuan, penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dalam Kerangka Kerja Penghidupan Berkelanjutan berperspektif ekofeminisme. Penelitian ini membahas bagaimana agensi para perempuan penenun dalam merespon perubahan pola penghidupan di tengah implementasi program pembangunan yang berorientasi kapitalis-patriarki. Temuan dari penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa agensi dan aktivisme para perempuan penenun dipengaruhi oleh faktor sejarah afektif dengan mengadaptasi nilai simbolis adat tenun menjadi bernilai ekonomis dan emansipatoris. Kata Kunci: penghidupan, perempuan penenun, keluarga, komunitas, agensi, program pembangunan.

Climate change poses major challenges for vulnerable groups throughout the world, especially women in coastal areas of Indonesia. Climate change presents a complex set of challenges that disproportionately impact vulnerable groups, with women often bearing the brunt of the impacts due to existing socio-cultural norms and unequal access to resources and decision-making processes. In Indonesia, coastal communities face increasing risks from rising sea levels, extreme weather events and coastal erosion caused by climate change. Women, who are often the primary caregivers and resource managers in these communities, bear a disproportionate burden of disasters caused by climate change. They experience increased vulnerability due to socio-cultural norms, limited access to resources, and limited power in making decisions. The impacts of climate change on women in Sendang Biru coastal areas are seen in various forms, including increased economic insecurity, loss of livelihoods, increased health risks, and disrupted access to health facilities. In addition, women's traditional roles as natural resource managers and family caretakers make them vulnerable to environmental degradation and displacement. Integrating an ecofeminist perspective in climate change strategy and mitigation explains how coastal women are exposed to risk, experience vulnerability, face problems in access to health and safety. Keywords: Ecofeminism, Coastal women; climate change; health; global health

The issue of global warming resulting from carbon emissions of greenhouse gas is a concern for nations inthe world including Indonesia. The Indonesian government has launched several programs for mitigation, including planting trees in urban areas. In 2007, Indonesia introduced Women Planting Trees and Management, WomenPlanting Trees Movements and Food Resilience Program (GPT-PKP), and other programs. Research explored theprogram implementation in Indonesia by collecting data and analyzing women's knowledge, perceptions, awareness,and actions for planting trees and their management. Surveys were conducted for data on the meaning of treessocially, economically, and environmentally. After completion surveys, the good participants were interviewed deeply and observed to prove their genuine awareness and action for planting and maintaining trees in their daily lives. Research revealed planting trees did not provide social and economic benefits. Trees taproots damaged walls and buildings, leaves made yards dirty, and lack of appreciation for being an environmentally friendly person by planting trees. Keywords: Awareness of trees, Indonesian government program, social and economic benefits, women,

Indonesia officially received the mandate as Chair of ASEAN from January 1 to December 31, 2023. During the post-COVID-19 pandemic, in the period 2022-2023 Indonesia received appreciation from the international community regarding the successful organization of international forums including the G-20. Indonesia's attitude is considered to remain neutral and maximize Indonesia's function as a middle-power at the level of multilateralism, amid geopolitical conflicts such as the Ukraine-Russia conflict and regional instability in the Middle East. But on the other hand, there are other issues in the realm of low politics, including the issue of climate change and women's vulnerability. As a region with a long coastline, it has a high potential risk as a chain effect of climate change. In addition, the gender disparity that is still quite high in this region is one of the factors that make women vulnerable to climate change issues, such as vulnerability in the labor, health and gender-based violence sectors. This paper focuses on seeing the extent to which Indonesia's role as chair of ASEAN in 2023 advocates the issue of climate change in a gender framework. The concept of Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) which focuses on women's participation in the public sector and policy initiation is used as a framework. The expected results of this study can show the relationship between environmental issues and women's vulnerability and the imbalance between women's participation in the public sector and policy initiation. Keywords: GESI, women, climate change, ASEAN Chairmanship, Indonesia.

In Indonesia, rivers, crucial for clean water, currently face alarming pollution. Unfortunately, women, key in ensuring water quality, lack opportunities. This study aims to depict the state of the Citarum River, women's involvement, and propose ways for women to optimize their role in managing domestic waste for river restoration. Using qualitative methods, the research identifies a connection between environmental issues and patriarchal challenges, emphasizing the need for comprehensive, gender-friendly policies. Recommendations from UN Water policies can be adapted for effective implementation in Indonesia. According to the research, the issue of the environment or water is a component of the traditional patriarchy problem, requiring gender-friendly strategies at all tiers. Even with initiatives to include women in areas such as water empowerment, women continue to be excluded from decision-making processes. Based on the research, it is recommended that women be made aware of their significance in gender-friendly policies and that their opinions should be considered during the decision-making process. Keywords: rivers, water quality, women's empowerment
