A long-standing favourite—images of ultra-modern cruise ships looming over ‘stone age’, ‘primitive’ or ‘traditional’ outriggers remain a key signifier of tourism’s magical powers of transportation, such that suggest journeys through time as well as space. .11 Figure 5.

The Autobiography has therefore been re-cast and illustrated, in the hope and prayer that the Lord will use it to inspire the Boys and Girls of Christendom with a whole-hearted enthusiasm for the Conversion of the Heathen World to Jesus Christ. A few fresh incidents have been introduced ; the whole contents have been rearranged to suit a new class of readers ; and the service of a gifted Artist has been employed, to make the book every way attractive to the young. For full details as to the Missionary's work and life, the COMPLETE EDITION must still of course be referrcd to.

Tambunan2 1,2 Department of International Relations, Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Pelita Harapan University MH Thamrin Boulevard 1100, Kelapa Dua, Tangerang Banten 15811, Indonesia 1 [email protected], 2 [email protected] Received: 12th May 2020/ Revised: 20th May 2020/ Accepted: 01st June 2020 How to Cite: Lantang, F. and Tambunan E. M. B. (2020). The Internationalization of “West Papua” Issue and Its Impact on Indonesia’s Policy to the South Pacific Region. Journal of ASEAN Studies, 8(1), 41-59, https://doi.org/10.21512/jas.v8i1.6447 ABSTRACT This research argues that the internationalization of "West Papua" issue through social media has contributed to a shift of Indonesia's policy to the South Pacific region from ignorance to initiative approach. Underlying this argument is a growing concern of Indonesia regarding the use of social media by Papuan pro- independence activists that resulted to the increasing awareness and support towards the independence of West Papua from Pacific countries as human rights problems become the highlight of West Papua’s issue. The method used in this research was qualitative research method focusing on descriptive analysis of the internationalization of West Papua issue on social media. This research results show that initiative approach from Indonesia is merely narrowing the gap of the issue instead of reducing the internationalization of the West Papua issue. Keywords: West Papua, Indonesia, South Pacific Region, Social Media INTRODUCTION Papua or internationally known as "West Papua" remains a long-standing sensitive issue of Indonesia when dealing with the South Pacific region.
