“…Therefore, battlefield operations, no matter how well executed, are useless if they do not contribute to the achievement of the political goal. It ultimately comes down to winning the battle, which is always a political affair (Dimitriu, 2018). The political situation in Yemen is extremely complex and problematic as there are numerous parties involved in the conflict.…”

This research examines the significance of having all seven aspects of human security. A series of questions were directed toward a sample of Yemeni participants living inside and outside of Yemen in order to get an insight into the daily struggles they face as a result of conflict. The interviews reveal the impact war has on human security and the absence of all seven components of human security put forward by the United Nations. This research argues that security in every shape and form is extremely important as all seven components are interlinked. As the world’s attention is on Ukraine and the impact of the Russia–Ukraine War on civilians, this article pushes the reader to question the deafening silence of the world when it comes to the situation in Yemen. Without acknowledgment, raising awareness, and holding those in charge of the war accountable for their wrongdoings, change will never prevail.

“…Perang bukanlah tujuan (goals) kebijakan, melainkan sarana untuk mencapai tujuan. Dimitriu (2018) Pada sisi lain, Budiasa (2016) telah menyoroti asumsi LeCompte dan Schensul bahwa penelitian etnografi kemungkinan besar akan memiliki dua tujuan dasar, yaitu (1) memahami masalah sosial budaya dan (2) melakukan penelitian untuk membantu orang memecahkan masalah mereka. Oleh karena itu, etnografi terapan biasanya akan digunakan dalam pengambilan keputusan atau kebijakan publik (McCurdy et al, 2004).…”

Selepas periode puncak pandemi Covid-19, pemerintah menghimbau masyarakat untuk segera kembali pada kehidupan normal dalam rangka percepatan pemulihan ekonomi pasca pandemi. Himbauan dikeluarkan menyusul masa-masa sulit di mana selama 1,5 tahun pergerakan masyarakat terkendala oleh kebijakan pemerintah yang membatasi kegiatan ekonomi dan sosial. Dengan aktivitas sosial dan ekonomi yang sangat masif di masa normal dan karenanya mengalami tekanan yang signifikan pada masa pandemi, kasus komunitas nelayan Kedung Cowek di Kota Surabaya memberi pelajaran baik untuk penerapan kebijakan serupa di masa yang akan datang. Dengan latar belakang tersebut, penelitian bertujuan menganalisis situasi kehidupan sosial ekonomi masyarakat pesisir Kedung Cowek terkait dengan pandemi dilihat dari perpektif sosiokultural. Penelitian dilakukan pada tahun 2021 menggunakan metodologi kualitatif, yang menerapkan analisis data etnografi dan mengacu pada kerangka pemikiran trinitas strategi Carl von Clausewitz dan etnografi baru James Spradley. Data diperoleh melalui wawancara mendalam dengan tokoh masyarakat yang terdiri atas pejabat pemerintah kelurahan, komunitas nelayan, dan masyarakat umum di lokasi penelitian. Hasil penelitian ini menemukan bahwa: (1) pandemi tidak mengubah cara pandang dan perilaku masyarakat nelayan terkait ekonomi dan lingkungan; nelayan tetap melaut meskipun ada himbauan pembatasan, (2) terjadi fenomena resistensi masyarakat terhadap himbauan pembatasan kegiatan terkait pandemi Covid-19, dan (3) masyarakat nelayan memiliki resiliensi sosiokultural yang menyebabkan pandemi tidak terpengaruh secara fundamental. Implikasi kebijakan dari penelitian ini pentingnya memandang perpektif sosiokultural masyarakat sebagai sebuah aspek penting yang karenanya perlu diakomodasikan sebagai salah satu konsideran utama dalam penerapan kebijakan terkait kondisi kebencanaan seperti terjadi pada masa pandemi Covid-19. Tittle: Sociocultural Perspective of Fishermen Community in Kedung Cowek on Covid-19 Pandemic In Surabaya The COVID-19 pandemic has become a new challenge for businesses and communities around the world. In particular, the community is encouraged to resume their activities to support the post-pandemic economic recovery program. This advisory was issued after almost one and a half years the community was asked to limit many activities, especially economic and social activities. Kedung Cowek fishermen in Surabaya City are an example of a fishing community facing post-pandemic socioeconomic recovery. This study aims to 1) describe the economic activities of coastal communities during a pandemic and 2) their interactions with market traders during a pandemic. This study uses a qualitative methodology by analyzing ethnographic data taken from primary data sources through in-depth interviews with community leaders consisting of village government officials, fishing communities and the general public in Kedung Cowek Village. The analysis was carried out using the strategic trinity framework by Carl von Clausewitz and the new ethnography by James Spradley. This research was conducted in 2021 in Kedung Cowek Village, Surabaya City, as the center of the fishing community in Surabaya City. The results of this study found that (1) the pandemic did not change the perspective and behavior of the fishing village community towards the economy, as well as environmental cleanliness so that they continued to go to sea despite the call for restrictions and (2) there is a phenomenon of community resistance to the call for restrictions on activities related to the COVID-19 pandemic which is indicated by the characteristics of fishing communities who have sociocultural resilience so that they are not fundamentally affected. This case study leads to the conclusion that COVID-19 does not have a significant influence on the social behavior of the fishing community in Kedung Cowek Village in Surabaya.

“…Conflicts can be seen as situations where there are different perspectives, goals, objectives, or politics that may be irreconcilable between various parties (Azis 2009). A more complex concept is that of war (Dimitriu 2020), where the factual sense of hostilities involves the use of armed forces between States and where the rules of international law exists to regulate it (Greenwood 1987). Although the expressions "war against terrorism" (Greenwood 2002;Sanyal 2020) have led us to believe in a correspondence of terrorism with war, the concept of terrorism has been identified as a crime (Jenkins 1985), or, in Fletcher (2006 understanding, a super-crime, that incorporates some of the characteristics of war, such as violence.…”

The post-Cold War era is placing the defense industry at a crossroads. If, on the one hand, it is under great pressure to guarantee warlike efforts around the world, with tight budgets and uncertain lead-times, on the other hand, it is seen as a central instrument for national sovereignty and foreign policy. The purpose of this research is to report the state-of-the-art of the existing literature and explore the most relevant research areas in order to provide the conceptual basis for further empirical research. To do so, this study uses a preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis (PRISMA), which is an adequate technique as it allows one to discover concepts, ideas, and debates about the defense industry. The results evidenced three different approaches to the defense industry—integration, autarky, and domination. In that regard, we present several case studies in which the defense industry is used as an instrument of foreign policy or national sovereignty. Future studies may focus on empirical research to validate the theoretical findings or to identify variables that lead some defense industries to seek synergies, resorting to mergers and acquisitions, while other defense companies prefer to obtain State funds.
