Our research is focused around three broad themes: conflict, peace and security; the evolving character of global and supra-national institutions; and the interpenetration of civil societies and international relations. In addition we have major strengths in area studies which help to ground our research into these broad thematic areas. Some of this activity is carried out under the umbrella of our various research centres, some within other collaborative contexts both within and outside the university, and some by individual researchers.

This study examined the legal consequences of using unmanned aircraft (UA / drones), on the State Sovereignty. Specifically, this study examined the concepts and regulations regarding unmanned aircraft seen from several countries and the use of unmanned aircraft which is then viewed from Indonesian Law. The method of research chosen in this study is normative legal research, with secondary data consisting of primary, secondary and tertiary legal material as the type of data being studied. Data collection tools used in the form of document studies and data analysis are carried out through a conceptual approach and legislation. Data analysis uses a deductive method which is then described in a prescriptive qualitative manner in its conclusion The results of this study concluded that state sovereignty in airspace was specifically regulated in The Aerial Navigation Act of 1911, subsequently also regulated in the Chicago Convention 1944. That state sovereignty in airspace was "complete and exclusive" or the state had full control over airspace which is above the country. Referring to the Geneva Protocol I of 1977, the use of unmanned aircraft in warfare and conflict is considered to violate the ethics of using special weapons, especially if it causes civilians to become victims. For some countries including Indonesia, the use of military drones has the purpose of monitoring combat, reconnaissance and surveillance. Regulations regarding the use of unmanned aircraft in Indonesia have been regulated in several laws and regulations, in the form of legislation, government regulations and several related ministerial regulations. It is expected that with this regulation the operation of unmanned aircraft can be monitored and not detrimental to flight safety.

1) Menurunnya kepercayaan negara-negara terhadap Mahkamah Kriminal Internasional (ICC) dan terciptanya efek domino dimana negara menyatakan keluar dari ICC: Menggunakan pandangan Critical Theory Kita akan kembali lagi diingatkan akan situasi dimana Timur ingin lepas dari pengaruh Barat termasuk dalam hal hukum pidana internasional. Mahkamah Pidana Internasional atau ICC yang terbentuk dari Statuta Roma, mengatur segala proses pengadilan dari investigasi sampai putusan dan vonis negara-negara yang dituntut akibat tindak kejahatan genosida dan kejahatan kemanusiaan. Sebuah negara anggota diharapakan melakukan kerjasama akan aktivitas investigasi atau penegakan hukum ala Statuta Roma yang didukung oleh undang-undang domestik (Cryer, 2010 p.85). Negara yang telah meratifikasi statuta tersebut dengan kata lain telah ternaung di bawah payung hukum internasional oleh ICC. Namun ketentutan yurisdiksi mahkamah ini juga tergantung dari kegagalan negara tersebut menegakkan hukum di wilayahnya (Cryer, 2010 p.75). ICC termasuk hal yang baru dan kontemporer mengingat kemunculannya yang jauh lebih muda dibanding PBB, kehadiran mahkamah ini masih memerlukan banyak koreksi dan evaluasi dari segi efektivitas, prinsip dasar, relevansi, kestabilan dan dominasi yang membuatnya berjalan. Maka disitulah pandangan Teori Kritis memiliki kekuatan untuk menjelaskan. Mahkamah ini akan menegakkan hukum ditengah hubungan antar negara yang anarki, pasti akan menemukan bias dalam hal compliance peraturan negara-negara besar. Segala pertanyaan " mengapa harus… " akan tertuju pada hakikat berdirinya ICC. Robert Cox dan pakar teori kritis mencari pengetahuan/jawaban untuk tujuan yang lebih luas: untuk membebaskan kemanusiaan dari struktur politik dunia yang menindas dan dikontrol oleh kekuatan hegemoni (Jackson & Sørensen, 2013 p.409). Hukum yang dilambangkan oleh dewi keadilan yang tertutup matanya semakin menggambarkan objektifitas yang jelas dan seadil mungkin. Yang diharapkan dari ICC adalah bukan sekedar investigasi dan proses hukum atas pelanggaran perjanjian melainkan ilmu yang mendasari adanya peraturan ditengah masyarakat anarki dan kebijaksanaan dalam implementasinya.

The process of guiding the final project at the University of Mitra Indonesia has several obstacles when the process of working on student skirpsi is hampered, the difficulty of students and supervisors to conduct the guidance process. To overcome the existing problems, one effort is to build a thesis guidance information system. Therefore, the author proposes a thesis guidance information system that can be accessed anywhere and anytime. The online thesis guidance system that has been built can be applied to facilitate lecturers in examining and revising documents sent by students so that the design of an online thesis guidance system can help the final project guidance process at theUniversity of Mitra Indonesia, starting from the student registration process, sending files and interacting with the guidance process between lecturers and students. In addition, with the existence of an online thesis guidance system, it is expected that the process of implementing thesis guidance for...

International Relations and Diplomacy Master Thesis

Introduction

The Master program in International Relations and Diplomacy requires the writing of a thesis (15 ECTS points), in addition to the successful completion of the required courses. Theses will be in the area of international relations, international organisation and/or diplomacy.

Students are free in the selection of the topic for the thesis, but must do so in consultation with potential thesis supervisors. It is advisable that the student starts thinking about the topic of his/her final Master’s thesis at an early stage. During the course ‘Research Design’, offered in the first year, students are trained in how to develop a research design and how to plan research for a thesis. The several courses offered in this Master program help students focus on a challenging and relevant topic to be explored in a thesis. In several cases, it may be profitable to link the topic of the thesis with insights gained during the internship, or topics especially relevant to the student’s own career plans. Master’s theses can, for example, deal with questions of international conflict resolution, international organization, diplomacy, European integration, international political economy, governance or negotiation analysis.

The thesis is written under the supervision of two members of the departmental faculty or one member of the department in cooperation with a staff member of Clingendael who is teaching in this programme. One of these two experts is the primary supervisor. The second supervisor co-decides about the approval of the thesis proposal and about the thesis assessment and grade, and can be consulted during the process of research and writing. The student is free to choose his/her first thesis supervisor out of the list of faculty members who are experts in the field of study and who are available and amenable. The 2nd supervisor is assigned by the educational coordinator Dr. Frits Meijerink.

During the first semester of the second year of studies, the student is expected to start work on the thesis and, by the end of the semester, to submit a thesis proposal to the primary supervisor. This proposal must include a problem statement, theoretical foundation, conceptualization and, if applicable, operationalisation of key variables, and the methodology and techniques for data collection and analysis. Students get an opportunity to work on, develop and present their thesis proposals during the ‘Thesis laboratory’ course offered in the second half of the first semester (second year of studies), in order to obtain further relevant input and feedback for their research. The thesis work should be completed in the fourth block of the second year of the MA program. In general, the thesis should be no shorter than 40 pages (ca. 16.000 words) and no longer than 60 pages (ca. 24.000 words), including tables and footnotes.

The MA thesis needs to comply with high standards of academic research and writing. In various courses offered in this program, the student will learn how to write academic papers and how to conduct research in topics relevant to international relations, international organization and political science more generally. Among the criteria used to evaluate the thesis are its originality, consistency, academic (and if applicable, societal) relevance, the choice of an adequate theoretical framework, the correct application of analytical methods, the quality of data collection, and presentation of the text. It is important that the thesis is consistent, clear and original in the sense of constituting a contribution to ongoing research.

Each thesis is supervised by two faculty members of the Department of Political Science at Leiden University. One of the supervisors may be a faculty member of Clingendael teaching in this program. First, the student draws up a thesis proposal that needs to be approved by both supervisors before actual work on the thesis can begin. Regular supervision is in the hands of the first supervisor. The second supervisor approves the proposal, together with the first supervisor, in the beginning of the supervision process and co-evaluates it with the first supervisor once the thesis is completed. Actual supervision starts with the first supervisor discussing the thesis proposal with the student in depth, possibly leading to improvements. Generally, several rounds of discussion and revision are needed until the proposal can be accepted. During the first meeting in which the proposal is discussed, the student is reminded of the Department’s quality criteria regarding Master’s theses as contained in the thesis evaluation form.

Once the first supervisor accepts the thesis proposal, it is submitted to the second supervisor. If the second supervisor considers the outline still to be inadequate, he or she communicates to the first supervisor which improvements are needed. The first supervisor discusses the requested improvements with the student. Once both supervisors agree with the outline, a meeting is scheduled with the student in which the first supervisor, and if possible also the second supervisor, participate. A copy of the thesis proposal, signed by both supervisors, is submitted to the Political Science secretariat by the first supervisor in order to place it into the student’s dossier of academic records.

The student and the first supervisor agree on a schedule and the ways in which supervision is to take place. Supervision may vary from frequent meetings, e.g. on a weekly basis, to discussion of individual chapters, to (in exceptional circumstances) a rare number of meetings only in the beginning and at the end of the thesis process. The second supervisor may be consulted in crucial stages of the research, by the first supervisor or in a discussion in which the student also participates.

The final version of the thesis is submitted to the first supervisor. A number of meetings and subsequent revisions may be needed before the thesis is considered to meet the required standards. Once the first supervisor considers the thesis to meet all basic requirements, it is submitted also to the second supervisor for evaluation. If the second supervisor considers the product to be insufficient, he or she informs the first supervisor and the student about further revisions needed. These suggestions are then discussed with the student by the first supervisor. Once the suggested revisions have been implemented, the first supervisor hands the revised version to the second supervisor. If the second supervisor accepts the product, the thesis evaluation form is filled in by both supervisors and the final grade is assigned.

Subsequently, if the student is still present in the Netherlands, the two supervisors schedule a final discussion or meeting with the student. This meeting results in the completion, and signing, of the ‘thesis evaluation form’ by both supervisors. Subsequently, the first supervisor hands the completed grade form, together with the thesis evaluation form, to the Political Science secretariat in order to have it added to the student’s dossier of academic records.

Students should take into account that supervisors may take up to three weeks to make an assessment of the final version of the thesis and that supervisors are not available for consultation and assessment through July-August. More information on the graduation procedures can be found on the website of Political Science.

Thesis proposals need to be approved by January 29, 2010.

June 7, 2010 is the deadline for students to hand in the final version of their thesis.
