From Crony Capitalism to Political Inequality: The Mediating Role of Economic Inequality in Post-Authoritarian Indonesia
From Crony Capitalism to Political Inequality: The Mediating Role of Economic Inequality in Post-Authoritarian Indonesia
Marco Jiunn-Cherng Teng（Forthcoming）
Bandung: Journal of the Global South ESCI; Scopus
As a democratic country, why can’t the Indonesian people receive a response from the government? This piques the curiosity and raises the following question: Does Indonesia’s crony capitalism truly influence Indonesia’s economic inequality? Is there a correlation between political inequality and economic inequality in Indonesia? This article argues that after Indonesia’s democratization, crony capitalism did not end with the fall of the authoritarian government. Instead, it evolved and persisted within Indonesia’s democratic society, further exacerbating economic inequality through capital support during election campaigns. Furthermore, long-term economic inequality exacerbates the disparity between the rich and the poor. Additionally, a decline in government responsiveness to the public has led to citizens’ participation without influence. Consequently, candidates reliant on political contributions are more likely to prioritize the interests of the wealthy, leading to an “inequality trap” that further exacerbates the situation for the citizens of Indonesia.

Behind the Leverage of Taiwan’s New Southbound Policy: New Market Opportunities and Disproving Confrontation
Behind the Leverage of Taiwan’s New Southbound Policy: New Market Opportunities and Disproving Confrontation
Jiunn-Cherng Teng（2022）
International Journal of Taiwan Studies, 5(1): pp.145-163. ESCI; Scopus
This paper argues that the policy intent behind the New Southbound Policy is not to directly confront mainland China, despite Beijing’s pressure on Taiwan. This hypothesis will be explored by analysing and comparing the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road and the New Southbound Policy.

Being Small Playing Smart: Taiwan as a Small State to Expand International Space
Being Small Playing Smart: Taiwan as a Small State to Expand International Space
Chun-Hsuan Sung; Jiunn-Cherng Teng（2022）
Taiwan Study in Turkey – III (History, Economy & International Relations): pp.125-146.
This paper aims to explore how a small state like Taiwan can maximize its international space amidst the shifting global order from U.S. unipolarity to intense U.S.-China strategic competition. It specifically questions whether betting solely on one superpower while marginalizing the other is a prudent strategy for gaining access to international organizations and events. Ultimately, the authors argue that instead of a one-sided diplomatic approach, Taiwan should leverage sophisticated bargaining skills to deepen cooperation with both China and the U.S. simultaneously to effectively secure its national interests.
