This book once again shows the results of the ongoing collaboration between UniZSA, Malaysia and UNAIR, Indonesia, especially those involving Faculty of Social and Political Sciences of UNAIR and Faculty of Law and International Relations of UniZSA, each of which is led by the Department of International Relations. Furthermore, this book is also a reminder that scientific work can be disseminated in various forms other than on the mainstream platform. In addition, this book is an alternative source of learning for lecturers, students, and the public. For the higher education, this book can be a medium to strengthen academic networks and a means of communication for its authors.
Seluruh bagian dari buku ini berisi tema-tema spesifi k yang berkenaan dengan wilayah Pasifi k Selatan. Buku ini merupakan realisasi dari rencana yang telah dirancang sejak beberapa bulan terakhir sebagai wujud dari keresahan akan keterbatasan bacaan di seputar masalah Pasifi k. Berbagai tema tentang Pasifi k, seperti ‘loss of paradise’, ‘the Titanic state’, dan ‘the arc of instability’, menjadi daya tarik bagi penulis untuk tidak berhenti pada sekedar mempertanyakan; lebih jauh penulis merasa perlu melakukan pembacaan lebih dalam tentang makna tema tersebut.
This is an open access book. In light of the rising Southeast Asia in the centre of knowledge production, the Department of International Relations, the University of Mataram seeks to explore more wide-ranging topics of migration and development. Therefore, we plan to organize Southeast Asian Conference on Migration and Development (SeaCMD), which will take place on Lombok Island of West Nusa Tenggara Province in Indonesia. We encourage a broad range of scholars including researchers, lecturers, policymakers, research consultants, and postgraduate scholars to share their ongoing research or promote their past papers at this conference. Scholars from various disciplines are also encouraged to apply.
Letak geografis Pasifik Selatan yang jauh dari pusat perekonomian dunia tidak menjadikannya tidak tersentuh isu-isu global. Keterpencilan dan tirani jarak membuat wilayah ini memberi sumbangan besar terhadap perkembangan akademik karena banyaknya isu yang belum tersentuh oleh kajian ilmiah pada umumya. Berbagai peristiwa di Pasifik Selatan, di antaranya, prediksi hilangnya beberapa low lying islands akibat perubahan cuaca, krisis pangan, air, dan lingkungan yang akut, arus emigrasi yang pesat, pola hidup subsisten, perdagangan manusia, pencucian uang, etnik konflik, tingkat pengangguran yang tinggi, dan sebagainya memiliki kekhasan masing-masing yang hanya ditemukan di wilayah ini. Dengan ka...
"""Sejarah Aceh telah banyak diwarnai oleh kekerasan! Sejak pemberontakan Daud Beureueh 1953 hingga Hasan Tiro 1976, tak sedikit korban nyawa terbilang, tak kurang harta melayang. Sementara itu, tak kurang pula upaya yang dijalankan pemerintah untuk menyelesaikan konflik itu, mulai dari era Soekarno, Soeharto, Habbibie, Gus Dur, Megawati hingga SBY-JK. Serangkaian kebijakan desentralisasi, berupa pemberian keistimewaan dalam bidang ekonomi dan sosial budaya, tak kunjung mampu menyelesaikan konflik Aceh. Operasi militer penuh kekerasan pun tidak dapat meredam pemberontakan di Aceh. Tetapi sejarah mencatat bahwa konflik Aceh pada akhirnya dapat diselesaikan melalui dialog dan perundingan. Pada...
An analysis of why people with knowledge about climate change often fail to translate that knowledge into action. Global warming is the most significant environmental issue of our time, yet public response in Western nations has been meager. Why have so few taken any action? In Living in Denial, sociologist Kari Norgaard searches for answers to this question, drawing on interviews and ethnographic data from her study of "Bygdaby," the fictional name of an actual rural community in western Norway, during the unusually warm winter of 2000-2001. In 2000-2001 the first snowfall came to Bygdaby two months later than usual; ice fishing was impossible; and the ski industry had to invest substantial...
Twentieth-century Russia, in all its political incarnations, lacked the basic features of the Western liberal model: the rule of law, civil society, and an uncensored public sphere. In Slavophile Empire, the leading historian Laura Engelstein pays particular attention to the Slavophiles and their heirs, whose aversion to the secular individualism of the West and embrace of an idealized version of the native past established a pattern of thinking that had an enduring impact on Russian political life. Imperial Russia did not lack for partisans of Western-style liberalism, but they were outnumbered, to the right and to the left, by those who favored illiberal options. In the book's rigorously a...
On ethnic conflicts and international relations.
Small Island Developing States are often depicted as being among the most vulnerable of all places to the effects of climate change, and they are a cause c?l?bre of many involved in climate science, politics and the media. Yet while small island developing states are much talked about, the production of both scientific knowledge and policies to protect the rights of these nations and their people has been remarkably slow.This book is the first to apply a critical approach to climate change science and policy processes in the South Pacific region. It shows how groups within politically and scientifically powerful countries appropriate the issue of island vulnerability in ways that do not do justice to the lives of island people. It argues that the ways in which islands and their inhabitants are represented in climate science and politics seldom leads to meaningful responses to assist them to adapt to climate change. Throughout, the authors focus on the hitherto largely ignored social impacts of climate change, and demonstrate that adaptation and mitigation policies cannot be effective without understanding the social systems and values of island societies.
