Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) as an Instrument for Regional Leadership of China in the East Asia Region
description: The establishment of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) has sparked many debates and controversies in the last five years since it was announced back in 2013. Amongst studies trying to explain the reason for the establishment of the AIIB, most of them are based on the analysis of Sino-U.S. relations especially on how they overlooked China as a replacement for global hegemon to the U.S.However, considering China’s foreign policy in the recent decade, the establishment of the AIIB is considered as a typical step to becoming a leader in regionalism of East Asia. This writing concludes that China is still only aiming to become regional leader in the scale of East Asia. Keywords: East Asia, Regionalism, Leadership, China, AIIB

Exploring the Contribution of Islam towards Global Governance Locating Ethics within the Discourse of Policy
description: This paper aims to tackle the problem that Global Governance is currently encountering: the absence of ethics within the framework of policy making. It seeks to fill this gap by discussing how Islamic thought can contribute positively towards the making the notion of ethics central in governance. The paper will begin with an overview of Global Governance and the historical and current intellectual trends within this field. It will then provide an overview of the knowledge gaps that currently exist in global governance. From there, the paper will discuss the role of ethics in directing governance across the world. To do so, it will explore the literature on International Relations and Religion that critiques Max Weber’s ‘Secularization Thesis’. The paper then takes forward the discussion of Islam in international relations by examining the ethical principles that underpin the design of Islamic law. This is known as ‘Objectives of Islamic Law’ (‘Maqasid ash Shariah’). It then uses these principles to understand how Islam can contribute to two major aspects of global governance: (1) the environment and (2) human mobility specifically focused on refugees.

THE POTENTIAL THREAT OF CHINA-MYANMAR GAS PIPELINE
description: China needs energy to sustain its economic growth. However the amount of energy resources in China are insufficient while the energy consumption grows rapidly. Recently, China is the second largest energy consumer. In order to achieve energy security and reduce carbon emissions to save environment, China is actively increasing the consumption of natural gas. China imports natural gas from overseas such as from Middle East, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and others. About half of China’s energy resources import from foreign sources. However, Import natural gas from these countries come with risks. The instability of politic in those areas influences the natural gas price, insecurity of travelling the natural gas via sea can reduce the amount natural gas come to China, and so on. China then looks alternative countries that closer to China to supply and secure its energy demand. In doing so, in 2008 China signed agreement with Myanmar to build oil gas pipeline. The gas pipelines have operated in July 2013. However, China-Myanmar gas pipelines project do not come without risk. This paper examines potential risks of China-Myanmar gas pipelines. This paper argues there are security, environmental, and cyber, and other issues that can be potential threat to China Myanmar gas pipeline project

Signifikansi Funding Agencies pada Global Research Council (GRC) Sebagai Bagian Masyarakat Sipil Global
subject: Epistemic Community;Global Civil Society;KNETs;Critical Mass;GRC;Funding Agencies
description: AbstractThe paper discusses the question of the significance of the role of funding agencies in the Global Research Council (GRC). GRC, part of the Global Civil Society (GCS) as an epistemic community, is a virtual organization formed in 2012. Most of its members are from funding agencies and aim to distribute knowledge. This paper concludes that funding agencies at GRC are critical masses that are important in bridging interests between scientific entities in funding research on a global scale and creating a better assessment of research funding. These two things are the difference between other knowledge networks. Conceptually, the author explains the position of GRC as part of global civil society in the form of Global Knowledge Networks (KNETs) and uses the Critical Mass conception in Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI). The author conducted participant observation to be involved in GRC and collected secondary data from journals, books and other related sources. The author elaborates on the mutually influencing relationship between funding agencies and GRC by using several examples of funding cases and best practices from GRC's influence on these funding agencies and how funding agencies affect global funding through GRC.

Analyzing The Presence of Russia in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea
subject: Internatinal Relations
subject: Russia; Eastern Mediterranean; Presence; Foreign Policy; Interest
description: The Mediterranean Sea has an attraction for countries that want to control this area. Among them are the abundant energy resources (such as oil and natural gas), have international trade routes that connect Europe, Africa, and Asia, and offer beaches or ports that can be built and operate year-round. Therefore, a superpower country like Russia is interested in becoming one of the actors that dominate this region. Russian activity in this region has occurred since the era of the Russian empire (Tsardom). However, over time, Russia has ambitions to regain control of the area they previously controlled. The Mediterranean region, especially the Eastern Mediterranean, is a strategic area for Russia in carrying out its foreign policy interests where they want to secure natural resource reserves and international trade routes and look for ports that can operate for a full year. This research aims to analyze how Russia's foreign policy interests result in its presence in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. Using qualitative research methods, this research will analyze Russia's presence in the East Mediterranean Sea. This research finds that Russia can demonstrate its presence in the Eastern Mediterranean region by using several political manoeuvres such as the annexation of Crimea, establishing relations with Turkey and Syria, and the use of energy politics in their foreign policy.

The Truth of Cultural Diplomacy
subject: International Relations
description: Since the United States Information Agency (USIA) is no longer active to operate cultural diplomacy in the post-cold war, the concept of cultural diplomacy has experienced a time of crisis in the context of International Relations studies. For a decade, cultural diplomacy was marginalized and considered obsolete until finally in the early 2000s, cultural diplomacy was revived and activated both in practice and theory. Since then, cultural diplomacy has returned to its path. The discourse of cultural diplomacy in International Relations studies has developed to gain more specific activities. This is a qualitative research, with the aim of understanding cultural diplomacy in a more holistic way. The results of this study indicate a debate and a lack of consensus on several aspects of cultural diplomacy and bringing much unclear explanation. This study also shows a dichotomy between cultural diplomacy and other approaches.
