Pelanggaran HAM dan Hukum Humaniter Internasional Israel terhadap Palestina, banyak menyita perhatian negara dan masyarakat dunia tidak terkecuali Irlandia. Kesamaan sejarah membuat Irlandia mengambil posisi untuk mendukung Palestina dalam meraih kemerdekaannya di bawah jajahan Israel. IPSC (Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign) sebagai salah satu CSO (Civil Society Organization) di Irlandia menjadi salah satu aktor yang berperan aktif dalam menekan pemerintah Irlandia untuk mengesahkan RUU tentang Larangan Impor Produk Israel, yaitu melalui gerakan BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions). Berdasarkan hal tersebut, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami bagaimana signifikansi peranan jaringan transnasional yang dilakukan IPSC sebagai CSO dalam studi Hubungan Internasional ditinjau dari kerangka pemikiran Transnational Advocacy Network ‎(TAN) khususnya ‘leverage politics’ dan ‘accountability politics’. Penelitian ini menerapkan metode kualitatif dengan teknik deskriptif analitis dalam mengkaji sumber data penelitian. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara horizontal, IPSC sebagai CSO berdampak positif terhadap terciptanya kesadaran masyarakat Irlandia mendukung perjuangan rakyat Palestina meraih kemerdekaannya. Adapun secara vertikal, respon IPSC cukup signifikan dalam mengadvokasi berbagai aktor jaringan transnasional, terutama dalam memengaruhi tataran hukum Pemerintah Irlandia untuk mengesahkan produk hukum RUU Larangan Impor Produk Israel tahun 2018, salah satunya melalui gerakan BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions). Dalam ranah hubungan internasional, masyarakat sipil mempunyai peran signifikan sebagai aktor hukum internasional, yang memiliki andil besar terhadap proses pembuatan kebijakan luar negeri suatu negara. Kata Kunci: Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC), Civil Society Organization (CSO), Transnational Advocacy Network ‎(TAN), Boycott-Divestment and Sanctions (BDS‎).

In this paper I question the existence of a global civil society, suggesting that what we have witnessed in recent years is the emergence of myriad transnational advocacy networks (TANs). I illustrate this claim by looking at a recently novel area in world politics: the international monitoring of elections (IEM), a practice which I claim has partially redefined state sovereignty. This paper takes form as follows. In the first section I present a conceptual discussion on world civil society and TANS , and suggest an unexplored way in which emergent norms might be adopted internationally. In the next four sections I follow the evolution of the IEM TAN. Thus, the second section deals with the foundational 1986 Philippine case; the third section with the 1988 Chilean plebiscite; the fourth with the 1990 Nicaraguan elections, and the fifth with the 1994 Mexican electoral process. I conclude in the sixth section by evaluating the usefulness of the path of norm-diffusion, and by discussing how the practice of non-state actors has contributed to the redefinition of both state sovereignty and the international system.

The indigenous community of Acteal in the highlands of Chiapas, Mexico, has been subject to both direct and structural violence in the form of the massacre that took place there in 1997 and the impunity that has persisted ever since. In response to the violence, the community has constructed political, social, and cultural alternatives through the movement known as the Las Abejas of Acteal Civil Society Organization. Its reconstruction of the social fabric has included participation in assembies, volunteer work for the collective, exchange of experiences, food production for subsistence, a solidarity economy, and the systematization and sharing of experiences. La comunidad indígena de Acteal en las tierras altas de Chiapas, México, ha sido objeto de violencia tanto directa y estructural a partir de la masacre que tuvo lugar allí en 1997, así como la impunidad que ha persistido desde entonces. En respuesta a la violencia, la comunidad ha construido alternativas políticas, sociales y culturales a través del movimiento conocido como Organización Sociedad Civil Las Abejas de Acteal. Su reconstrucción del tejido social ha incluido la participación en asambleas, el voluntariado para el colectivo, el intercambio de experiencias, la producción de alimentos para subsistencia, una economía solidaria, y la sistematización e intercambio de experiencias.

Setelah memasuki era reformasi, pergerakan Civil Society Organization (CSO) di Indonesia lebih berperan sebagai penyeimbang negara, peran itupun juga berlaku pada CSO yang ada di daerah, keberadaan CSO tersebut menjadi sangat penting karena menjadi alternatif penyeimbang antara kepala daerah dan DPRD, oleh karena itu keberadaan CSO dapat menjadi bagian terpenting dalam proses  perumusan kebijakan agar lebih sehat, bersifat terbuka dan partisipatif. Kabupaten Ponorogo merupakan salah satu kabupaten yang sangat dinamis dalam hal keberadaan CSO yang ada ataupun kegiatan pemerintah dalam keluarnya kebijakan. Dalam proses politik yang timbul dalam penentuan kebijakan juga melibatkan peran CSO dalam rangka untuk memperkecil polemik yang ada di masyarakat Penelitian ini menggunakan desain kualitatif diskriptif karena akan menafsirkan fenomena yang terjadi di Kabupaten Ponorogo. Dari hasil penelitian, didapatkan kesimpulan yaitu Kabupaten Ponorogo akan melibatkan CSO dalam rangka menjaga prinsip keterbukaan dalam good governance, adapun peran CSO tersebut adalah: 1) Menjadi penghubung antara masyarakat dan pemerintah, 2) Mengakomodasi kepentingan masyarakat, 3) Mendorong adanya jaringan antar kelompok masyarakat, dan 4) Membangun kolaborasi antara pemerintah, masyarakat, serta pihak ketiga.

This article explores the concepts of transnational relations and activism in the study of International Relations, specifically the role of civil society in transnational advocacy. It is fascinating to discuss the role of civil society when state actors are no longer the most prominent actors in International Relations studies in the midst of globalisation. Some articles related to transnational relations have been written by the scholars of International Relations such as Thomas Risse-Kappen (1995). Even so, one of the most sophisticated concepts of transnational activism was introduced by Margaret Keck and Kathryn Sikkink (1998), in Activists Beyond Borders: Advocacy Networks in International Politics. In order to fully understand transnational activism in the study of International Relations, a divergent perspective can be applied. In this article, the authors aim to examine the recent debates and its counternarratives in International Relations through critical and constructivism lenses. Firstly, this article would describe the concepts of transnationalism and transnational activism in the study of International Relations (state of the art). Secondly, it would be a discussion in the literature on transnationalism and transnational activism which cover themes about norm diffusion, the ‘boomerang pattern’, political opportunity structures and accountability and effectiveness. The last part is conclusion that can be drawn from this consensus and debates in the concept of transnational activism.
