“…The first fact to note is that disagreements over territorial belongings are almost inevitable in a world organised into territorially defined units. In fact, conflicts over states' jurisdictional and sovereign limits at land, at sea, and in the air are rather common and they tend to persist (Hassner 2006). A global survey of the progress on maritime delimitation reveals no single group of states with a higher number of delimited maritime boundaries as compared to another (ASIL 2017).…”

The conflicts in the South China Sea have come to dominate debates on Southeast Asian security and specifically on how boundary disputes have been managed within the region. Yet, the case is not necessarily exemplary for the way Southeast Asian countries have dealt with territorial disputes generally. The article gathers three common perceptions about conflict management that are strongly informed by the South China Sea case, but have lesser relevance when looking at other territorial conflicts in the region. I offer a critical reading of the who, why, and how of territorial conflict management and provide tentative guidelines on what to expect in the future.

“…This means not that the physical site per se is indivisible, but that 'an actor's legitimation strategies can either expand the bargaining space among actors by convincing others of their legitimacy, or diminish room for compromise by appearing illegitimate to adversaries'. Time matters as well, as the longer mutually exclusive claims persist, the less likely it is that a resolution will be found (Hassner 2007).…”

Scholarship on transitional justice, transnational social movements, and transnational diaspora mobilization has offered little understanding about how memorialization initiatives with substantial diaspora involvement emerge transnationally and are embedded and sustained in different contexts. We argue that diasporas play a galvanizing role in transnational interest-based and symbolic politics, expanding claim-making from the local to national, supranational, and global levels of engagement. Using initiatives to memorialize atrocities committed at the former Omarska concentration camp in Bosnia and Herzegovina, we identify a four-stage mobilization process. First, initiatives emerged and diffused across transnational networks after a local political opportunity opened in the homeland. Second, attempts at coordination of activities took place transnationally through an NGO. Third, initiatives were contextualized on the nation-state level in different host-states, depending on the political opportunities and constraints available there. Fourth, memorialization claims were eventually shifted from the national to the supranational and global levels. The article concludes by demonstrating the potential to apply the analysis to similar global movements in which diasporas are directly involved.

The lack of constructivists (as well as by other political scientists) work in religion and politics/international relations could have been attributed to the prevalence of secularist, "Westphalian presumption," that was commonly shared among social scientists, which presumes religion as a set of privately held doctrines or beliefs, rather than as a community of believers that could potentially be active in the public sphere.…”

Faith, Moral Authority, and Politics: The Making of Progressive Islam in Indonesia

Several Islamic organizations have experience major changes in their theological frames and political identities away from fundamentalist and revivalist theological orientation to one that embraces a progressive Islamic theology that synthesizes these norms with classical Islamic teachings. What are the factors that explain these theological changes? What are the causal mechanisms that help to promote them? Using the moral authority leadership theory, I argue that Islamic groups would be able to change their theological frames and political identities if the changes are promoted by religious leaders with 'moral authority' status, who are using both ideational and instrumental strategies to reconstruct the theological frames of their organizations. In addition to moral authority leadership, intermediary variables that also affect the likelihood of a theological change within Islamic groups are the institutional culture of the organization -the degree of tolerance for non-Islamic theological teachings -and the relationship between the Islamic group and the state.This study is a comparative historical analysis of two Indonesian Islamic groups: the Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and the Muhammadiyah. It finds that the NU was able to successfully change its theological positions due to the presence of a charismatic moral authority leader, the tolerant institutional culture within the organization, and the ability of the organization to ally with the Suharto regime, allowing the reform to be institutionalized with little intervention from the regime.On the other hand, theological reform within the Muhammadiyah was not successful due to the lack of a leader with moral authority status who could have
