As known, the concept of CSR emerged as a form of corporate governance to address the social and environmental impacts of company activities. The implementation of CSR by companies is crucial considering that economic and social goals for a company do not function separately but rather mutually influence each other. This research utilizes a qualitative approach and Archie B. Carrol's CSR Pyramid theory as an analytical tool. Through this research it can be observed that IKEA carries out a series of CSR activities, including economic responsibility, legal compliance, ethical responsibility, and philanthropic responsibility. The implementation of CSR by IKEA has a significant impact on the company's growth and can enhance a positive reputation in the eyes of the global community.</span></em></p> Imam Fadchurrozi Copyright (c) 2024 Indonesian Journal of International Relations http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-01-25 2024-01-25 8 1 1 23 10.32787/ijir.v8i1.452 PERAN ELON MUSK DALAM KONFLIK RUSIA-UKRAINA 2022 https://journal.aihii.or.id/index.php/ijir/article/view/514 <p><em><span lang="EN-GB">This paper analyzes the impact of entrepreneur and public figure Elon Musk on the 2022 Russia-Ukraine conflict. Through the use of social network theory and the concept of Popularity, this research shows that although Musk was not an official state actor, he played a significant role in the conflict. His global popularity and extensive connections to both sides of the conflict enabled him to influence the government, media, and public. His actions and statements, such as providing Ukraine with Starlink Internet access and proposing a controversial peace plan, had a visible impact on the dynamics of the conflict. These findings highlight the significant role and potential influence of non-state actors in international conflicts. Non-state actors, particularly those with global reach and popularity, can shape public opinion, influence government policies, and even alter the course of conflicts.</span></em></p> Muhammad Alfian Maulana Copyright (c) 2024 Indonesian Journal of International Relations http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-01-25 2024-01-25 8 1 24 52 10.32787/ijir.v8i1.514 KERJA SAMA UN WOMEN DENGAN GOJEK DALAM MENDUKUNG AGENDA SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS-5: GENDER EQUALITY DI INDONESIA https://journal.aihii.or.id/index.php/ijir/article/view/471 <p><em><span lang="EN-GB">This article aims to describe the collaboration between UN Women and Gojek which was agreed in July 2020 in pushing for the achievement encouraging the SDGs-5: Gender Equality in Indonesia.
