Economic inequality generates dissatisfaction and injustice, further exacerbating ongoing conflicts. The researcher employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive method, utilizing two data sources: primary data obtained through direct interviews and secondary data gathered from literature reviews in various sources such as journals, online articles, and scholarly works related to the topic. Based on the research findings, differences in identity and economic inequality emerge as root causes of sustained conflict. Therefore, the researcher employed several approaches, including social conflict theory, social identity theory, and the concept of economic disparity, to explore these issues. The results indicate that comprehensive efforts from various stakeholders, especially policymakers, are needed for reconciliation, including promoting cross-cultural understanding, reducing economic inequality, implementing collaborative economic development programs, and building connections between conflicting groups.</em></p> Syarifah Nurhasanah Jamalullail, Ilmiatun Hadiati, Aldis Priya Anggaraksa, Anang Fakhrurrahman, Anggun Aulia Putri, Lalu Ahmad Hatami Copyright (c) 2023 Syarifah Nurhasanah Jamalullail, Ilmiatun Hadiati, Aldis Priya Anggaraksa, Anang Fakhrurrahman, Anggun Aulia Putri, Lalu Ahmad Hatami https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 http://ijpss.unram.ac.id/index.php/ijpss/article/view/143 Sat, 30 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Analisis Kebijakan Luar Negeri Negara-negara Anggota USMCA Studi Kasus Perubahan NAFTA ke USMCA http://ijpss.unram.ac.id/index.php/ijpss/article/view/139 <p>Studi ini menganalisis kebijakan luar negeri negara-negara anggota USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement) dengan fokus pada perubahan dari NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) ke USMCA.

This issue has been a source of tension in relations between South Korea and Japan for several years. In this research, the concept of "predominant leader" is used as a lens for analyzing the role played by President Moon Jae-in in making various policies related to this issue. The method used is descriptive-qualitative with literature study techniques, and the data used is secondary data originating from books, journals, and official websites. This research includes an analysis of several of Moon Jae In's foreign policies towards Japan, such as efforts to register the history of comfort women at UNESCO, demands for compensation against Japanese companies, withdrawal from GSOMIA, and the dissolution of the Reconciliation and Healing Foundation. The results of this research illustrate the complexity of the comfort women issue, with emphasis on ‘goal-driven’ and ‘situationally responsive’ aspects when it comes to policies issued in his effort to seek justice for the victims</em></p> Arizki Putri Candelaria Copyright (c) 2023 Arizki Putri Candelaria https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 http://ijpss.unram.ac.id/index.php/ijpss/article/view/142 Sat, 30 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Analisis Kebijakan Pemberian Bantuan Militer Amerika Serikat kepada Ukraina Selama Masa Invasi Rusia 2022 http://ijpss.unram.ac.id/index.php/ijpss/article/view/135 <p><em>This</em><em> study aims to analyze the policy of providing United States military assistance to Ukraine during the 2022 Russian invasion. The policy of the United States deciding to provide military assistance to Ukraine to help Ukraine resist the Russian invasion drew reactions from the international community as well as from Russia itself. This study aims to analyze this in the context of: exploring the types of assistance, the reasons &amp; objectives behind policy making, and their implications for the relationship between the United States and Russia. This study will use the Rational Actor Model Theory to analyze the reasons behind the policy of granting military to Ukraine by the United States which has considered all available viewpoints, alternatives, and solutions so as to achieve the highest objectives of the policy. In looking at the goals to be achieved by the United States in policy making, the concept of national interest will provide insight into what the United States’ intended goals behind their policy of providing military assistance to Ukraine. The results indicate that the given aid is an investment whose benefits outweighs its costs, as well as the United States justifying their aid provision to Ukraine under defense, ideological and economic interests</em></p> Adeva Alifiobono, Syaiful Anam, Kinanti Rizsa Sabilla Copyright (c) 2023 Adeva Alifiobono, Syaiful Anam, Kinanti Rizsa Sabilla https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 http://ijpss.unram.ac.id/index.php/ijpss/article/view/135 Sat, 30 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Respon Amerika Serikat dalam Menyeimbangkan Kekuatan Cina Melalui AUKUS dalam Klaim Kedaulatan Cina di Laut Cina Selatan http://ijpss.unram.ac.id/index.php/ijpss/article/view/134 <p>This research aims to analyze the formation of AUKUS as a new defense pact as the United States' response to China's unilateral claim of sovereignty in the South China Sea. The lack of presence of the United States, which for the last few decades has been too busy with its military operations in the Middle East region, has given China more freedom to carry out aggressive maneuvers in the Asia Pacific region which has then created an imbalance of power due to China's military strength being far superior to that of the alliance countries. United States in Asia such as the Philippines and Australia. In this research, a qualitative approach was used which aims to understand the phenomenon of events experienced by the subject through descriptions. Furthermore, this research uses the Balance of Power Theory and the Concept of Detterence as analytical tools to understand the material raised in this research. The results of this research show that AUKUS was formed due to the decline of the United States in various sectors which coincided with the rise of China as a new superpower. It is hoped that the selection of Australia and the UK in this collaboration will provide additional support to pressure China in the South China Sea through short-term and long-term programs.</p> Dimas Idham Santoso, Ahmad Mubarak Munir, Pamungkas Ayudhaning Dewanto Copyright (c) 2023 Dimas Idham Santoso, Ahmad Mubarak Munir, Pamungkas Ayudhaning Dewanto https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 http://ijpss.unram.ac.id/index.php/ijpss/article/view/134 Sat, 30 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Peran Greenpeace Indonesia dalam Melindungi Lembah Grime Nawa dari Deforestasi di Papua http://ijpss.unram.ac.id/index.php/ijpss/article/view/130 <p><em>This article aims to analyze the role of Greenpeace Indonesia in saving the Grime Nawa Valley from deforestation in Papua.
