Abstract

Journal of Asian Social Science Research, Volume 4, Number 2, 2022, brings together five articles that ask how people and institutions respond when familiar arrangements become unsettled. The issue moves across South Africa, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Lombok, and the Maldives. Its geographical range extends beyond Asia in the opening article, but its intellectual concern remains consistent with the journal’s broader mission: to understand social life comparatively, carefully, and with attention to human experience. The word that best captures this issue is not crisis, though crisis is present. It is adaptation. Students adapt to new freedoms and risks. Educational institutions adapt to online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Communities adapt local resources into new forms of collective action. Religious traditions adapt through historical encounter and social negotiation. Democratic institutions adapt, or fail to adapt, under domestic instability and regional influence. In each case, adaptation is not automatic. It is shaped by infrastructure, personality, gender, history, leadership, belief, community networks, and power.

Abstract

This issue of JASSR (Vol. 4, No. 1, 2022) presents a reflection on how power is organized, normalized, and challenged across different Asian contexts. The issue brings together studies on centrism in social media research, school leadership and identity politics in multicultural Indonesia, adat courts in Indonesia’s judiciary system, Muslim social movements in early twentieth-century Cirebon, and democratic erosion in India. Together, the articles show that institutions and ideas cannot be understood only through formal structures or public rhetoric. They must also be examined through history, culture, exclusion, resistance, and lived experience. The issue highlights the value of Asian social science that is historically attentive, conceptually critical, and ethically responsive to struggles over plurality, justice, and democratic life.

Abstract

Journal of Asian Social Science Research (JASSR), Volume 3, Number 2, 2021, appears in the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic, yet it is not only a pandemic issue. The pandemic is present as context, pressure, and historical condition, but the articles gathered here are interested in something wider: how societies respond when existing arrangements are tested. They ask how institutions learn, how information systems fail or adapt, how vulnerable groups are included or left behind, how small enterprises mobilize digital tools, and how digital capitalism reorganizes labour and value. This issue is therefore about crisis, but also about connectivity. Connectivity appears as administrative learning through overseas training, as information flow during an infodemic, as the fragile link between people with intellectual disabilities and public services, as online consumption networks for small and medium enterprises, and as platform-mediated labour on YouTube. In each case, connection offers possibility, but never without hierarchy. It can enable coordination and survival, yet it can also reproduce exclusion, misinformation, dependency, and alienation.

Abstract

How do societies negotiate authority when familiar institutions are unsettled by environmental pressure, technological change, religious contestation, democratic uncertainty, and the search for public trust? This issue of the Journal of Asian Social Science Research (Vol. 3, No. 1, 2021) invites that question through six studies grounded largely in Indonesia, but relevant to wider Asian debates. The articles examine environmental challenges and the social study of religion; the symbolism of hijab in the Tarbiyah movement; the involvement of the Indonesian National Armed Forces in the Citarum Harum water-governance project; the social dimensions of education in the era of the Internet of Things and the COVID-19 pandemic; higher education, national character, and religious moderation; and public legitimacy in the 2020 West Sumatra regional election. What connects them is not a single topic, but a shared attention to how public life is organized through institutions, beliefs, symbols, policies, technologies, and civic trust.

Abstract

The issue of the Journal of Asian Social Science Research (JASSR), Vol. 2, No. 2, 2020, asks us to pay attention to the different faces of authority, not as abstractions, but as lived arrangements that shape political loyalty, gendered aspiration, religious commitment, and everyday conduct. It brings together five studies that are diverse in subject but closely connected in their deeper concern. They examine the political crossover of Islamic conservatism in Indonesia’s 2019 presidential election, the changing dynamics of local elections in post-Suharto Indonesia, the experiences of Muslim women academics in Indonesian state Islamic higher education, the role of women in Tablighi Jamaat’s masturah propagation in East Java, and Haji Hasan Mustapa’s Malay etiquette guidebook for Acehnese people under Dutch colonial rule. Read together, the articles show that power is never sustained by formal institutions alone. It depends on symbols, narratives, networks, gendered expectations, local brokerage, moral discipline, and historical memory.

Abstract

The JASSR Vol. 2, No. 1 (2020) presents a reflection on marginalization, moral authority, and social change across Asia and the Global South. The issue brings together studies on Roma marginalization in post-communist Bulgaria, grounded Islamic feminism in Indonesia, liberal-progressive Muslim reformism, Sasak anti-colonial resistance in Lombok, and debates over top-down and bottom-up development. Together, the articles show how communities respond to exclusion not only through suffering, but also through reinterpretation, activism, resistance, and institutional negotiation. The issue highlights social science’s capacity to recover voices from the margins and to examine how more dignified and inclusive futures are imagined.

Abstract

This inaugural issue of JASSR opens a scholarly conversation on Islam, society, and knowledge in Asian social science. Its five articles examine sharia and citizenship in Indonesia and Malaysia, repression and subjectivity in Babel, the contrasting Islamic political thought of Abdurrahman Wahid and Ayatollah Khomeini, Indonesian Muslim wedding rituals in the Netherlands, and knowledge transmission in Pesantren Miftahul Huda. Together, they show how religion, law, ritual, political authority, migration, education, and cultural texts shape social meaning across different settings. As a first edition, the issue is more than a collection of studies; it marks the journal’s commitment to grounded, comparative, and intellectually open scholarship that links local cases to wider debates in Asian social science.
