For this reason, the systematic mapping studies (SMS) and the bibliometric analysis VOS Viewer carried out stared at articles from 1984 to 2020, as comparison bibliographic articles from countries in the Scopus database. Methods: Preliminary analysis was conducted from systematic mapping studies followed by bibliometrics of publication content in the Scopus database. A total of 175 documents met the criteria for inclusion, starting in 1984, and the dominant author from Europe in journal Scopus Q1 and other well-known international journals. The data from the search results are then descriptively analyzed based on the journal-title, author, co-author, year of publication country, affiliation, keywords, journal /publication name. Results: Researchers from American countries were more productive than Europe and fewer in Asia from 1984 to 2021. As far as paper European document quality is concerned, American governments have significantly more author quality than Asian countries. Conclusion: Although fewer Para-diplomacy articles are published by researchers from Asian countries than Europe and America, this is a challenge for Asian researchers. The increase in the number of publications over the last ten years has shown that the turmoil of sub-state actors in Asian countries has begun to consider implementing regional Para-diplomacy. This is due to a strong push for regional progress to open wide-ranging cooperation, either directly or indirectly, with other countries/regions to strengthen the objectives of state sovereignty.

The arrival of refugees often has implications for the emergence of economic, social, environmental and health problems for host countries.

Forestry sector conflict is common in Indonesia. One of them is in Pelalawan Regency, one of the districts in Riau Province where there are many conflicts between the community and the company. The conflict is the result of the operation of many Industrial Plantation Forest (HTI) companies in the Pelalawan Regency. Many of the HTI Company's concession areas overlap with land claimed by communities for generations. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. Qualitative research with Case Studies can provide sharper and deeper data access. The real cause of the emergence of conflict can be easily traced by looking at it from the historical and sociological aspects. This aspect can tell about the root of the conflict which then becomes exploded later on. In general, two frictions occur in cases of conflict in the community. This happens between the local community and the migrant community. As an entity that relies on forest resources to meet their daily needs, local people also naturally feel disturbed by the presence of the Industrial Plantation Forest Concession Company (HPHTI), which not only plunders their forests but also brings a new community, the migrants. Local people who have rarely interacted with migrants have naturally become resistant to the presence of new people, which is certainly a new culture. In the Pelalawan district itself, the majority of migrants come from Java Island. On the one hand, the migrant community, in general, has started to become established economically because their income as an HPHTI company employee is promising in terms of income. Coupled with certain skills that make them able to "be creative" in increasing the coffers of his income. This unequal economic condition causes social jealousy. Local people feel colonized in their area. The company's presence has been nothing but a nuisance to them.

Perkembangan LGBT merupakan sebuah fenomena yang memunculkan banyak sekali kontrovesi yang berupa pro dan kontra dari berbagai Negara. maraknya LGBT ini utamanya berkembang dari budaya barat yang secara terang-terangan telah melegalitaskan komunitas LGBT ini di negaranya dan disahkan dalam undang-undang nasional Negara mereka. Namun berbeda halnya dengan wilayah Indonesia yang menganut budaya ketimuran yang sangat menjujung tinggi nilai-nilai kebudayaan yang berdasarkan pada asas keagamaan, karena pada prinsipnya perilaku LGBT ini sangat bertentangan dengan nilai agama manapun. Perkembangan LGBT saat ini tidak hanya pada Negara-negara wilayah barat saja, namun telah memasuki tatanan global yang telah ...

This situation also implies that Indonesia has other responsibilities to protect both its citizens and refugees. However, due to its position as a transit country, Indonesia, unlike final destination countries, does not have an obligation to protect refugees entirely. The purpose of this research is to analyze Indonesia's acceptance of refugees and the challenges it faces. The acceptance of refugees as a transit country and not a final destination for refugees will threaten Indonesia's economic, social, security and other sectors. The number of refugees in Indonesia and their continued detention is still increasing. This study utilizes the norm life cycle theory to determine the Indonesian reasons for accepting refugees. It collects information from focus group discussions or an in-depth interview with some of the NGOs in Pekanbaru, and library research, using qualitative method. Indonesia was ...

The arrival of refugees has implications on economic, social, environmental, and health problems for the host country. There was an immense amount of debate about the possibility of states adopting extraterritorial approaches to asylum processing and refugee protection, and about such policies’ compatibility with international refugee and human rights law. De-territorialize refugee protection and of UNHCR’s strategy in the evolving consultations. The issues of who, why, and how to protect refugees pose a series of normative challenges that can only be addressed by recognizing the dynamic nature of refugee protection toda...

One of the destination countries for smuggling narcotics in the Southeast Asian region is Indonesia and Riau Province is one of the gateways for the illegal entry of narcotics from other countries, especially Malaysia. This paper aims to analyze the modus operandi of transnational crime in narcotics smuggling in the border regions of Riau and Malaysia. This paper uses a qualitative method using interviews with research informants. The results of this study indicate that the modus operandi of narcotics smuggling in the border regions of Indonesia and Malaysia is carried out by sea along the coastline of the border provinces of Riau and Malaysia. Narcotics are neatly wrapped and installed GPS devices then smuggled at night by using the services of fishermen as a courier. This seawater smuggling route was chosen due to several factors, namely: the proximity of the territorial waters, the number of unofficial or illegal ports, the lack of surveillance patrols along the water area and the professionalism of law enforcement officers in the border region. A B S T R A K Kawasan Asia Tenggara memiliki luas area sekitar 4,4 juta KM2 dan dikenal sebagai wilayah produksi narkotika "Golden Triangle" yang berada di perbatasan Thailand, Laos dan Myanmar. Salah satu negara tujuan penyelundupan narkotika di kawasan Asia Tenggara adalah Indonesia dan Provinsi Riau merupakan salah satu pintu gerbang masuknya narkotika secara ilegal dari negara lain terutama Malaysia. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis modus operandi kejahatan transnasional penyelundupan narkotika di wilayah perbatasan Riau dan Malaysia. Tulisan ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan menggunakan wawancara kepada informan penelitian. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa modus operandi penyelundupan narkotika di wilayah perbatasan Indonesia dan Malaysia dilakukan dengan menggunakan jalur laut disepanjang garis Pantai perbatasan Provinsi Riau dan Malaysia. Narkotika dibungkus rapi dan dipasang alat GPS selanjutnya diselundupkan pada malam hari dengan memanfaatkan jasa nelayan sebagai kurir. Jalur penyelundupan perairan laut ini dipilih dikarenakan beberapa faktor yaitu: jarak wilayah perairan yang dekat, banyaknya pelabuhan tidak resmi atau ilegal, minimnya patroli pengawasan di sepanjang wilayah perairan serta faktor profesionalitas aparat penegak hukum di wilayah perbatasan.
