Abstract
Abstract: This editorial note serves as an introductory explanation as we approach the dawn of 2023. The hardship of a total lockdown changes how we look at space and time or spatiotemporal beyond ordinary linearity of progress and regress. Nevertheless, how do we use space and time to make sense of the most significant concerns of threats to our security? How do we refine constructive ideas about safety and inspire others to think beyond the rigidity of rational choice and nearly no freedom to choose? Time and space transform our perceived secured reality and insinuate threat discursively, whether yesterday or today, international or local. In our nested security discourse, we challenge the archaic and unstable binary boundaries between international and internal delineation of security threats and peace concerns. Altogether, temporal constraints and limited space disperse our cognitive inability to operate within the tesseract of multiple data analytics, eternal realities, and organic, meaningful solutions to give hope to humanity and freedom to coexist mutually. Underpinned by multidimensions and nested security discourse, we present our readers with our final thoughts in selecting six research articles, three research notes, two commentaries, and one book review.

Abstrak: Nota editorial ini berfungsi sebagai penjelasan pengenalan ketika kita menghampiri tahun 2023. Kesukaran perlaksanaan penutupan penuh telah mengubah cara kita melihat ruang dan masa atau spatiotemporal melebihi garis lurus kemajuan dan kemunduran biasa. Namun begitu, bagaimanakah kita menggunakan ruang dan masa untuk memahami kebimbangan terhadap ancaman keselamatan? Bagaimanakah pula kita memperhalusi idea yang membina keselamatan dan memberi inspirasi kepada orang lain untuk berfikir di luar kelaziman pilihan rasional dan hampir tiada pilihan kebebasan untuk memilih? Masa dan ruang mengubah kefahaman kita tentang keterjaminan dan mengubah persepsi terhadap wacana ancaman, sama ada semalam atau hari ini, baik di peringkat antarabangsa atau tempatan. Menerusi wacana keselamatan yang dihasilkan ini, kami mencabar sempadan binari kuno dan tidak stabil antara persempadanan ancaman keselamatan antarabangsa dan dalaman, serta kebimbangan keamanan. Secara keseluruhannya, kekangan sementara dan ruang yang terhad melenyapkan ketidakupayaan kognitif kita untuk beroperasi dalam jeda pelbagai dimensi dan memberi harapan kepada manusia dan kebebasan untuk hidup bersama. Disokong oleh wacana keselamatan pelbagai dimensi, nota editor ini menjelaskan kepada pembaca mengenai asas pemilihan enam makalah penyelidikan asli, tiga nota penyelidikan, dua makalah komentar dan satu makalah ulasan buku.
