One country with an important strategic position in this project is Iran, which geographically connects the BRI Southern Corridor (China-Central Asia-West Asia Economic Corridor), which connects Central Asia, Iran, Turkey, and the Balkan countries. This article explains Iran's foreign policy strategy regarding China's BRI based on Lovell's typology of foreign policy strategies (1970). Using a qualitative method, the findings of this article are that Iran is implementing a concordance strategy of foreign policy. Iran implements tactical objectives by exploiting tactical advantages, reducing tactical losses, increasing bargaining position, and strengthening deterrence</em>. <em>Iran also performs tactical strategies consisting of "declarations and commitments, promises and threats" and "demonstrations of capability".</em></p> <p><em>. </em></p>2025-03-03T00:00:00+07:00Copyright (c) 2025 Dina Yulianti, Muhammad Erza Mahendra, Deasy Silvya Sari, Mozaffari Falartihttps://ejournal.unida.gontor.ac.id/index.php/dauliyah/article/view/13912The Impact of State-Local Government Relations on Local Government Performance in Ogun State2025-02-13T03:58:43+07:00Mahmud Oshomaosho@alhikmah.edu.ngAbdulRauf Ambaliabdulrauf.ambali@kwasu.edu.ng<p style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><em><span lang="EN-GB">This study examines the impact of state-local government relations on the performance of local governments in Ogun States, Nigeria, with an emphasis on how such relationship affects local government performances. Local governments are critical in driving economic development and delivering essential services to improve citizens' well-being. However, their performance is often constrained by imbalances in the relationship with state governments. This research employed a mixed-methods approach, including descriptive analysis, multicollinearity tests, factor analysis, and regression analysis, to assess the dynamics of state-local interactions. Primary data were gathered through interviews with local government officials, policymakers, and development experts, alongside questionnaires distributed within selected local governments. Secondary sources comprised government reports, academic literature, and policy documents. Three local governments were purposively selected from the state, with 400 questionnaires administered across Abeokuta North, Yewa North, and Sagamu local government. Findings indicate that local governments lack financial autonomy, with state approval required for service delivery and infrastructure projects, thereby hampering sustainable progress. Although a generally cooperative relationship exists, the financial dependence of local governments on state allocations due to the joint account system limits their accountability and capacity for independent infrastructure development. The study recommends enhancing local government autonomy through policy reforms, technical support, and staff training, alongside formalized communication protocols to strengthen intergovernmental collaboration.</span></em></p> <p><strong><em><span lang="EN-GB">Keywords</span></em></strong><em><span lang="EN-GB">: State-local government relations, local government autonomy, poverty reduction, sustainable development, Nigeria</span></em></p>2025-03-03T00:00:00+07:00Copyright (c) 2025 Mahmud Osho, Prof.https://ejournal.unida.gontor.ac.id/index.php/dauliyah/article/view/13777Summit Diplomacy under Jokowi Governance: Revealing the Implementation and National Interest in ASEAN Summit2025-02-15T13:51:45+07:00Jelita Eka Azzahraazzahrajelitaeka@gmail.comNhat Minh Bui050607190333@st.buh.edu.vn<table width="510"> <tbody> <tr> <td width="369"> <p><em>The rapid development of today’s era due to advancement of science and technology also the increasement of world dynamic complexity has driven ramification of diplomacy concept that promote summit diplomacy.

One of them is in the sub-region known as the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS). GMS countries including China (Yunan Province and Guangxi Autonomous Region), Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR), Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam, have different economic conditions. Thailand is a country with the strongest economy, thus attracting migrants to work in Thailand, especially migrants from Cambodia, Lao PDR, and Myanmar. This mobility has opened up opportunities for human trafficking, so the six countries agreed to a memorandum of understanding which continued with the formation of the Coordinated Mekong Ministerial Initiative Against Trafficking (COMMIT) and issued the Subregional Plan of Action (SPA). This study aims to determine the implementation of SPA IV carried out by Thailand in the period 2018 - 2022 along with its obstacles. As a result, in implementing the Subregional Plan of Action IV COMMIT, Thailand has focused more on measures to prevent human trafficking, protect victims, and prosecute perpetrators. However, implementation has also encountered obstacles due to the COVID-19 pandemic</span></em></div>2025-02-28T00:00:00+07:00Copyright (c) 2025 Andien Dewi Aulia Zahra, Taufik Taufik, Shylvia Windaryhttps://ejournal.unida.gontor.ac.id/index.php/dauliyah/article/view/13904Implementation of Protection for Indonesian Migrant Workers in Malaysia in 2022-20232025-02-15T13:48:28+07:00Gustri Eni Putrigustrieni.putri@uii.ac.id<p>Malaysia is the main destination country for Indonesian migrant workers. However, violence and discrimination often befall them. In response to this, Indonesia then issued a policy to protect Indonesian migrant workers in Malaysia in 2022 in the hope that this could be a solution to this problem. This policy was then implemented through a cooperation scheme with Malaysia as a receiving country for Indonesian migrant workers. This research uses the concept Policy Implementation Marilee S. Grindle as a framework for thinking. The result that was obtained was that this policy could not be implemented optimally due to violations committed by Malaysia and the still high rate of violence and discrimination that befell Indonesian migrant workers in Malaysia in 2022-2023.</p>2025-02-26T00:00:00+07:00Copyright (c) 2025 Gustri Eni Putri
