Aniello Iannone

Aniello Iannone is a Lecturer in International Political Economy at President University, Indonesia. He holds a PhD in International Relations and International Political Economy from Universitas Airlangga. His research examines Southeast Asian political economy, Indonesian domestic politics and foreign policy, ASEAN regionalism, and Taiwan-Indonesia relations. A central focus is transnational labour exploitation, migrant worker governance, and platform labour dynamics. He has developed the concept of "lordly capitalism" to analyse Indonesia's oligarchic political economy, where modernization coexists with personalized domination and quasi-feudal labour relations, and has written on ASEAN's "paralyzed regionalism" for the Lowy Institute. His work combines critical approaches to international political economy with empirically grounded analysis of how structures of power reshape institutions, labour regimes, and regional orders.
