Intelijen merupakan topik kajian yang penting sekaligus rumit untuk dipahami karena sifat kerahasiaannya. Meski demikian, negara demokrasi selalu mendukung masyarakatnya untuk memiliki, setidaknya, pemahaman dasar terkait seluruh instansi pemerintah, termasuk intelijen. Pada tahun 2015, Pusat Penelitian Politik – Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia (P2P-LIPI) telah melakukan penelitian yang be…
Setiap negara dengan sistem perekonomian terbuka akan memiliki net capital outflow. Terlebih di zaman globalisasi. Net capital outflow atau ekspor modal akan membuahkan kumpulan aset nasional suatu negara di luar negeri. Ini berisikan aneka investasi milik Pemerintah, individu dan korporasi milik warga negara. Lane dan Milesi-Ferretti (2007) mendefisikannya sebagai external wealth. Negara-negar…
Strategi bukan monopoli militer, walaupun pada awalnya memang begitu. Istilah ”strategi” kini sudah menjadi umum. Begitu ”terlepas” dari batasan medan pertempuran, ia lalu malah mencakup semua bidang kegiatan human, masing-masing mengklaim strateginya sendiri. Mengingat setiap aksi human tidak terjadi di awang-awang, tetapi di medan kebumian tertentu, maka baik politik maupun strategi…
Dinamika hubungan internasional pada satu dasawarsa terakhir ini menunjukkan berbagai kecenderungan yang secara substansial sangat berbeda dengan masa-masa sebelumnya.

The contributors examine traditional and non-traditional diplomatic actors, and domestic, regional, continental, and global orders. They argue that African diplomats profoundly shape these orders by situating themselves within in-between-spaces of geographical and functional orders. It is in these borderlands that agency, despite all kinds of constraints, flourishes. Chapters in the book compar…
The term 'middle power' is conceptually fragile. Some scholars have even argued for abandoning it. This book argues that the concept needs to be analysed more profoundly and that new analytical tools need to be developed to better understand the phenomenon. The traditional approach, based on Western states, is insufficient and has become increasingly irrelevant in a transformed global environme…
This volume brings together 19 original chapters, plus four substantive introductions, which collectively provide a unique examination of the issues of science, technology, and art in international relations. The overarching theme of the book links global politics with human interventions in the world: We cannot disconnect how humans act on the world through science, technology, and artistic en…

Current IR theories and approaches, which are almost exclusively built in the West, are alien to the non-Western contexts which engender the most hard pressing problems of world and ultimately unhelpful in understanding or addressing the needs surrounding these issues. Our supposedly revolutionary new concepts and approaches remain largely insufficient in explaining what happens globally and in…
This book is a much-needed update on our understanding of public diplomacy. It intends to stimulate new thinking on what is one of the most remarkable recent developments in diplomatic practice that has challenged practitioners as much as scholars. Thought-leaders and up-and-coming authors in Debating Public Diplomacy agree that official efforts to create and maintain relationships with publics…
Major IR theories, which stress that actors will inevitably only seek to enhance their own interests, tend to contrive binaries of self and other and ‘inside’ and ‘outside’. By contrast, this book recognizes the general need of all to relate, which they do through various imagined resemblances between them. The authors of this book therefore propose the ‘balance of relationships’ (…
