Abstract

The practice of nepotism persists as a social phenomenon that reflects the fundamental tension between the impersonal logic of state law and the structures of family solidarity and patronage networks that remain deeply rooted in Indonesian social culture. This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of how a culture of nepotism is formed and maintained within the bureaucratic recruitment process in Indonesia, through the lens of legal sociology. This study employs a qualitative, socio-legal research design focused on legal-sociological analysis to gain a deep understanding of how the culture of nepotism is formed, reproduced, and legitimised in bureaucratic recruitment practices in Indonesia. The findings confirm that the problem of nepotism lies not only in the weak enforcement of rules, but in the mismatch between the design of state institutions and the collectivist cultural structure of society. Consequently, efforts at bureaucratic reform that rely solely on anti-nepotism regulations are likely to fail unless accompanied by a transformation of power relations and a more equitable distribution of social access. Therefore, a shift in perspective is required: from a moralistic approach that merely condemns nepotism towards a structural approach that seeks to understand and redesign bureaucratic institutions so that they can bridge the demands of meritocracy with the social realities of society.

Abstract

The indigenous cosmology of Kalimantan, Indonesia, can be understood as an ontological horizon that significantly contributes to reinterpreting the relationships among humankind, nature, and the transcendent dimension. This study aims to examine the indigenous cosmology of Kalimantan as a conceptual source for the development of an Islamic theological ecology that is more relational, contextual and sensitive to ecological justice. This study employs a qualitative approach, using a critical-hermeneutic ethnographic design, to interpret the ecological values, practices, and meanings embedded within indigenous cosmology, and to engage them in dialogue with the principles of tawḥīd, amānah, and balance in Islam. The findings indicate that the contemporary ecological crisis is not merely a matter of technical environmental management, but is also influenced by an anthropocentric worldview that separates humans from nature. In this context, Kalimantan’s indigenous cosmology offers a critical perspective on modern exploitative paradigms through its emphasis on relationship, responsibility, reciprocity and respect for nature. This study positions indigenous knowledge as a source of theoretical reflection rather than merely a cultural object, emphasising that its integration into Islamic theological discourse and environmental policy must be carried out with care to avoid reducing local meanings and to ensure that indigenous communities remain key actors.
