Level Analisis Sistem dan Teori Hubungan Internasional

Abstract: This paper describes the application of the system-level analysis and international relations  theories in  the  case  of  Arms  Trade  Treaty  (ATT)  voting  in  the  General  Assembly,  United  Nations,  in  2  April 2013.  System-level  analysis  is  part  of  the  three  levels  of  analysis  commonly  used  in  International Relations  (IR).  This  paper  suggests  that  the  choice  of  a  specific  level  of  analysis  interlinks  with  the theory preference. In the case of system-level analysis, all of the theories applied in analysing the ATT voting assume the nature of the international system (international anarchy) affects states behavior. In regard to the case of ATT voting, there are four research questions raised in this paper. Firstly, what did the various results of the  ATT voting mean? Second, why did Indonesia choose for abstention in the voting? Third, why did North Korea, Iran and Syria decide to vote against ATT? And lastly, what will the future of arms trade regime hold under the ATT?
