"Populisme merupakan sebuah instrumen politik yang efektif dalam realm demokrasi; populisme dapat mengartikulasikan apa yang menjadi kehendak mayoritas masyarakat, yang seringkali tidak selalu rasional, sebagai diskursus untuk menekan tatanan pemerintahan domestik. Keterkaitan antara politik domestik dengan hubungan internasional menjadikan fenomena kebangkitan populisme problematis, sebab narasi-narasi yang banyak diangkat justru merupakan anti-tesis terhadap apa yang membentuk stabilitas tatanan dunia internasional saat ini. Kemunculan populisme sayap kanan yang semakin lazim di berbagai tataran politik domestik kontemporer mengisyaratkan adanya sebuah tren baru dalam dinamika politik internasional yang menyebabkan narasi-narasi populisme sayap kanan radikal menjadi lebih diminati dan memperoleh basis politik yang besar di tingkat domestik; serta menghasilkan tekanan yang besar terhadap keberlangsungan tata kelola dunia internasional saat ini. Tulisan ini berupaya untuk melihat bagaimana perkembangan narasi-narasi populisme dalam diskursus politik internasional pasca Perang Dunia II, serta lebih jauh lagi berupaya untuk menganalisis dan menjelaskan mengapa varian populisme sayap kanan kemudian mampu mendominasi diskursus politik internasional kontemporer.

Populism is an effective political instrument within the realm of democracy; which articulates what was considered the general will of the society, which often proved to be irrational, as the counter-narrative to the dominance of established political elites and their discourses. The linkage between domestic politics and international relations has framed the rise of the populists to be problematic: as the narrative that they (populists) endorse has pushed the idea of anti-globalization, anti-establishment, and anti-internationalist, which poses a threat to the very stability of contemporary international order. The rise of right-wing populism that prevails on many domestic-level politic, implies the existence of a new trend on the dynamic of international politic which favored the narrative of radical right-wing populism into the mainstream political discourses. This writing attempts to signify the development of the narrative of right-wing populism within the discourse of post-World War international political order. It also attempts to analyze and explain why the variety of right-wing populism has successfully dominating the discourses of contemporary international politics."

"Indonesia is Southeast Asia's largest economy and freest democracy yet vested interests and local politics serve as formidable obstacles to infrastructure reform. In this critical analysis of the politics inhibiting infrastructure investment, Jamie S. Davidson utilizes evidence from his research, press reports and rarely used consultancy studies to challenge mainstream explanations for low investment rates and the sluggish adoption of liberalizing reforms. He argues that obstacles have less to do with weak formal institutions and low fiscal capacities of the state than with entrenched, rent-seeking interests, misaligned central-local government relations, and state-society struggles over land. Using a political-sociological approach, Davidson demonstrates that 'getting the politics right' matters as much as getting the prices right or putting the proper institutional safeguards in place for infrastructure development. This innovative account and its conclusions will be of interest to students and scholars of Southeast Asia and policymakers of infrastructure investment and economic growth."
