Factors in Defending Australia’s Interests in the Pacific through Pacific ‘Step-up’ Foreign Policy Decision-Making in 2017-2018
Full text linkAustralia makes the Pacific region a fundamental interest to defend its national interests. This commitment was made by launching a Pacific \u27step-up\u27 foreign policy in 2018 based on the 2017 Foreign Policy White Paper. Foreign policy decision-making is caused by external factors and internal factors. These external factors stem from the growing strategic competition between the United States and China in the Pacific as well as China\u27s increasing influence that could shift Australia\u27s influence as a traditional Pacific partner. Meanwhile, the internal factors stem from the perception of Australia\u27s political elite towards the Chinese threat and public opinion that supports government intervention in the Pacific. The merger of external and internal factors prompted Australia to take action in \u27balancing\u27. This is because the United States and China are partners in national interests, so the choice to establish relations with Pacific Island Countries (PIC) is the right choice. Meanwhile, the Australian government\u27s efforts to counter the Chinese threat and the Australian Government\u27s support for providing assistance to the Pacific helped drive the policy. The problem is studied by using the policy-making theory of Graham T. Allison and the concept of neoclassical realism to look at the process of Australian foreign policy-making related to changes in the rules-based order and domestic conditions of Australia. The method used in this study uses a qualitative approach.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE UNION OF EUROPEAN FOOTBALL ASSOCIATIONS (UEFA) IN DEALING WITH RACISM
Full text linkThis article examines the failure of the Union of European Football Association (UEFA) to address racism in the world of football. UEFA has enacted a number of rules to prevent and reduce racist acts in football matches. Facts show that racist acts, especially those carried out by supporters, during 2013 to 2019 actually increased. This article tries to answer the question of why the UEFA regime is ineffective in dealing with the problem of racism in the world of football. The analysis was carried out by borrowing the theory of regime effectiveness developed by Arild Underdal. The author collected data by literature study method. The results of the analysis show that the UEFA regime is ineffective in dealing with racist acts in football matches in Europe because: (1) the problem of racism originates outside the world of football so it is impossible to solve it by football organizations alone; (2) the perpetrator of racism is the supporter, while UEFA rules cannot be applied to the supporter; (3) the interests of UEFA members are not aligned with each other, making it difficult to achieve collaboration; and (4) the governing organs do not have the required capacity.

Study of Laterite Iron Ore Extraction by Smelting Method using Electric Arc Furnace
Full text linkLaterite iron ore resources have enormous potential. Laterite iron ore is the main material for iron and steel production in Indonesia, with reserves estimated at 1,391 million MT and Fe content between 40% and 56%. The processing and extraction of laterite iron ore carried out in this study used the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) method. The processing process includes the stages of drying, crushing, mixing (two-stage mixing), sintering, reheating, and smelting. In the sintering and smelting processes, BCI semi coke is used as a reductant and energy source. While lime is used to help bind impurity minerals into slag. The selection of the EAF method is based on its advantages in energy efficiency and the ability to use more diverse raw materials. EAF can also produce high-quality products and has better environmental control than technologies such as blast furnaces. The variation in the composition of BCI semi coke and lime used in this experiment affects the final Fe content in the pig iron produced. The right process and using the appropriate material composition, pig iron with high Fe content can be obtained. The highest Fe content in the research conducted was 94.43%.
ANALYSIS OF HYDROCARBONS IN ALGERIA’S APPROACH TO BRICS MEMBERSHIP 2024
Full text linkAlgeria\u27s hydrocarbon sector dominates more than 90% of the country’s income as the second largest GDP in North Africa. Algeria is one of the countries with the largest natural gas and oil reserves in the world. Today, most of Algeria\u27s hydrocarbon resources come from old mines because about two-thirds of Algeria\u27s territory has not been explored. Although hydrocarbon resources are non-renewable energy, research estimates that more than 100 discoveries in Algeria can still be developed. Algeria recently has a desire to join the political and economic cooperation group of developing countries rich in natural resources, including Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS). Currently BRICS covers 40% of the world\u27s population and contributes to around 28% of total world GDP. This article aims to look at the power of the hydrocarbon sector as Algeria begins its economic relations with organizations such as BRICS using the Theory of Complex Interdependence by Robert Keohane and Joseph Nye, and the Bandwagoning Concept by Kenneth Waltz
