<p>Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country located in the ring of fire, which puts it at a high risk of natural disasters. Earthquakes, tsunami, and liquefaction that occurred in Palu in 2018 that resulted in significant material and immaterial losses were some of the examples.  The earthquake and tsunami resulted in a total casualty of 1.347 people and caused the loss of access to clean water and electricity, as well as a change in the geographical structure and landscape of the city of Palu. Thus, the purpose of this study is to analyze the implementation of post-disaster rehabilitation and reconstruction in the city of Palu using a qualitative research methodology. In addition to that, this study also discusses the relationship between Palu disaster, human security, and national defense. Qualitative research in a descriptive manner that offers a complete description and analysis regarding Palu disaster was held to answer the research question presented in this paper. The results show that the natural disasters that occurred in Palu in 2018 brought about an impact on people's lives and all aspects of human security. This is because, in each phase of the disaster that occurred, the Government of Indonesia failed to protect the community from the risk of such a disaster. Furthermore, based on the Disaster Risk Reduction criteria, the rehabilitation and reconstruction that have been carried out are relatively adequate. However, non-structural aspects of mitigation, which is one of the important aspects of disaster risk reduction, have not been carried out. Disaster training and simulations so far have only been done once and not regularly, therefore jeopardizing the community's preparedness for future occurrences of natural disasters. Therefore, improvements in disaster management need to be done in Indonesia</p>

COVID-19 has posed new challenges to globalization. It further perpetuates the rising trend of nationalism that has been ongoing for quite some time. At the start of the pandemic, one will automatically point the finger to cross-border travelers and people who can perform a high transnational movement. This phenomenon further increases the rapid spread of the virus on a global scale and disrupts the global supply chain that comes with it. When the outbreak first emerged, most policymakers wrongly assumed that the COVID-19 pandemic would only have a brief, limited, China-specific impact. As a matter of fact, the pandemic is generating a global shock and economic slowdown, risking to turn for the worse into recession. This pandemic has strongly highlighted the many downsides of extensive international integration and thus provoked fears of foreigners. It later gave legitimacy to national restrictions on global trade and movement of people. As it turned out, COVID-19 is the catalyst needed to further enhance the rise of nationalism. This phenomenon will, eventually, have negative repercussions on Indonesia’s food security.AbstrakCOVID-19 telah membawa tantangan baru bagi globalisasi. Tren nasionalisme yang memang telah berkembang di seluruh dunia kemudian diperburuk oleh pandemi COVID-19. Saat dimulainya pandemi, secara otomatis seseorang akan menyalahkan para pelancong lintas batas dan orang-orang yang memiliki kemampuan untuk melakukan pergerakan transnasional yang tinggi. Fenomena ini yang kemudian semakin meningkatkan penyebaran virus yang cepat dalam skala global dan gangguan pada rantai pasokan global. Pada awal merebaknya wabah COVID-19, sebagian besar penyusun kebijakan salah berasumsi bahwa pandemi ini hanya akan memiliki dampak singkat dan terbatas hanya terhadap Cina. Pada kenyataannya, pandemi ini telah mengakibatkan guncangan global dan perlambatan ekonomi yang berpotensi menjadi resesi global. Pandemi ini sangat menyoroti banyak kerugian dari integrasi internasional yang luas dan memicu ketakutan terhadap orang asing. Hal ini kemudian memberikan legitimasi pada pembatasan nasional terhadap perdagangan global dan pergerakan manusia. COVID-19 telah menjadi katalis yang dibutuhkan untuk lebih meningkatkan kebangkitan nasionalisme. Fenomena ini pada akhirnya akan berdampak negatif terhadap ketahanan pangan Indonesia.
