The End of the United States Naval Medical Research Unit-2 Project in Indonesia From a Cooperative Security Perspective
Full text linkThe presence of NAMRU-2 in Indonesia has created pros and cons in the community. NAMRU-2, or Naval Medical Research Unit-2, is a United States military medical research unit that operates in various countries, including Indonesia—several pro and con arguments related to its presence in Indonesia in realizing cooperation security. This study aims to investigate NAMRU-2’s role in fostering cooperative health security in Indonesia and examine why the government chose not to renew its cooperation between NAMRU-2 and Indonesia. This study used a qualitative research method with a descriptive approach. The data obtained in this study were obtained from literature studies and interviews. Then, the data validity process is carried out using data triangulation so that the data obtained can provide strong support for the research. The results show that NAMRU-2 in Indonesia does its job well in carrying out the mission of Military Operations Other than War in medical operations. NAMRU-2 successfully dealt with health threats in Indonesia. However, the cooperation of NAMRU-2 in Indonesia failed to realize the security of cooperation. With NAMRU-2 in Indonesia, there is still tension and a lack of trust in the United States government. In addition, the presence of NAMRU-2 made the Indonesian people feel unsafe. After the end of NAMRU-2 in Indonesia, Indonesia has not been independent regarding health security. In this regard, it can be concluded that the existence of NAMRU-2 in Indonesia cannot realize cooperative security because there are still tensions between Indonesia and the United States and the lack of trust of the Indonesian people in the United States. This is not in accordance with the definition of cooperative security.
Integrating Machine Learning and Wearable Technology to Prevent Musculoskeletal Injuries in Military Training: A Natural Science Approach
Full text linkMusculoskeletal injuries remain a substantial challenge in military training programs worldwide, undermining both operational readiness and soldier well-being.

The Implementation of Confidence-Building Measures (CBMs) in the South China Sea for Regional Stability through the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF)
Full text linkDespite the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF)’s efforts to implement confidence-building measures (CBMs) since its establishment in 1994, there are still challenges that remain in achieving the desired level of trust and cooperation among its 27 member countries, particularly in the South China Sea (SCS). While CBM initiatives have contributed to reducing tensions, there is still a gap further complicated by the shifting power dynamics, particularly China’s rise and the United States’ strategic responses, which have heightened tensions in the Indo-Pacific region. Furthermore, this study aims to assess the effectiveness of confidence-building measures (CBMs) in defense cooperation and diplomacy within the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF), specifically in the context of the South China Sea (SCS). By analyzing the existing CBMs and identifying the gaps between the current state and the desired outcomes, the research seeks to provide insights into how these measures can be enhanced to manage tensions better, build trust, and promote regional stability amidst the evolving security landscape in the Indo-Pacific region. This research underscores the importance of CBMs in regional diplomacy and their potential to shape a stable and cooperative Indo-Pacific environment. The research used qualitative research methods, collecting data from scientific journals, websites, and previous research, which were analyzed to explore CBMs’ role in enhancing regional security and cooperation. Results indicate that CBMs have played a crucial role in promoting peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific and have been instrumental in reducing mistrust and preventing conflicts. However, challenges persist due to the complexity of regional security threats and the diverse interests of member states. Sustained cooperation and adaptability are essential to address evolving security dynamics. The effectiveness of CBMs in the SCS will depend on a commitment to dialogue among parties

Fake News and Hate Speech in Nigeria's Development and Security Trajectory: A Qualitative Assessment
Full text linkThe proliferation of false news and hate speech in Nigeria is posing a severe barrier to information sharing. The ease with which people now propagate destructive views across numerous social platforms complicates the situation even further. Despite multiple studies on the subject in Nigeria, what drives the spread of false news and hate speech and how it affects the country's security and prosperity remain elusive in the existing literature. This study, therefore, seeks to address that vacuum by delving deeply into the complex dynamics behind these concerns in Nigeria and investigating how they influence the country's security and prosperity. To grasp the entire scale of false news and hate speech, this study conducted extensive research that included reviewing old documents and conducting in-depth interviews with a varied range of people. The findings of this study indicated that young people are more exposed to the negative consequences of false news and hate speech. The pull of social media and its active debates frequently draws children into situations where they are more likely to encounter incorrect and nasty remarks. Recognizing youth as a significant demographic affected by this issue is critical. It implies that the government must take specific action to address the underlying causes and repercussions of false news and hate speech in Nigeria. This study, as a result, emphasizes the critical necessity for proactive actions to defend Nigeria's news and information-sharing procedures and platforms. Policymakers may aid Nigerian society by enacting legislation and protections to prevent the detrimental impact of fake news and hate speech.
