This issue features contributions from internationally affiliated scholars, including authors from universities in India and the University of Hawaii. Two of the included articles address critical issues in international relations. The first, authored by a scholar from India, presents a literature review on the exploitation of cyberspace for Narco-terrorist activities. The study concludes that achieving comprehensive state-level legal regulation of cyberspace to completely eliminate illicit activities remains virtually impossible. The second international relations paper, a collaborative study between researchers from the University of Hawaii and Indonesian co-authors, examines the United States government’s ban on the Chinese-owned platform TikTok through the theoretical lenses of hegemonic identity and self-interest.

Additionally, two articles explore contemporary themes in communication and digital media. One study investigates the ethical patterns of social media usage specifically among Generation Z users, while the other analyzes the discursive circuit of food security, tracing its manifestation from the state level to mass media. The final article utilizes a dramaturgical framework to evaluate the efficacy of interpersonal communication within group dynamics.

Notably, two papers advance specific claims of theoretical novelty. In the study on food security discourse, the authors introduce the concept of 'discursive mutation' within the framework of food legitimacy, arguing that legitimacy is not a static construct but rather a cyclical phenomenon that evolves and mutates under the influence of various systemic factors. Meanwhile, the interpersonal communication research posits a novel claim that the quality of backstage communication directly determines the efficacy of frontstage interactions. Given that these findings warrant further empirical validation, we cordially invite researchers to extend these lines of inquiry across diverse thematic issues and group contexts."
