Abstract

Farmers’ institutional structures play a strategic role in strengthening the socio-economic resilience of coastal communities. Desa Baho, as one of the coastal villages, faces various challenges, including limited market access, insufficient capital, and inadequate knowledge of agricultural and fisheries technologies. This literature study aims to examine the role of revitalizing farmers’ institutions in improving the welfare of coastal communities. The method employed is a systematic literature review of journals, books, and research reports related to the strengthening of farmers’ institutions and coastal community empowerment from 2015 to 2025. The findings indicate that strengthening farmers’ institutions through the establishment of cooperatives, business management training, access to microfinance, and the use of appropriate technologies can increase productivity, income, and socio-economic capacity. Furthermore, strong institutions support collaboration among farmers, environmental risk mitigation, and adaptation to market changes. The discussion emphasizes the importance of an integrative strategy involving the government, academia, and the private sector to ensure the sustainability of farmers’ institutions. Institutional revitalization not only enhances economic capacity but also strengthens social networks, solidarity, and community participation in decision-making. In conclusion, revitalizing farmers’ institutions is an important instrument for strengthening the socio-economic resilience of coastal communities, and its implementation strategy must be tailored to local characteristics and the needs of the Desa Baho community.

Abstract

The increasingly sharp socio-political polarization in recent years has posed serious challenges to the sustainability of democracy in various countries, including Indonesia. This polarization not only divides society, but also erodes public trust in democratic institutions. In the midst of these conditions, the existence and role of civil society become crucial as a balancing force that is able to mediate differences and strengthen the democratic order. This study aims to analyze how civil society resilience is formed and functions in the context of socio-political polarization through the perspective of deliberative democracy. With a literature study approach, this article examines a number of previous studies that discuss the dynamics of civil society, the concept of social resilience, and the practice of democratic deliberation. The results of the study show that civil society that has high resilience tends to be supported by reflective capacity, cross-identity collaborative networks, and the ability to build inclusive deliberative spaces. This resilience allows civil society organizations to continue to play an active role in voicing public interests, encouraging policy transparency, and building solidarity amidst social fragmentation. Thus, deliberative democracy becomes a relevant framework for understanding and strengthening the function of civil society in overcoming socio-political polarization. This study concludes that strengthening deliberative capacity in civil society is key to maintaining social cohesion and strengthening participatory democracy.

Abstract

The rapid digital political transformation has brought new challenges and opportunities for political education in Indonesia, especially in the context of the engagement of generation Z. This generation grew up in a dynamic digital environment, but faces information inequality and political apathy. In this context, civil society has a strategic role in promoting inclusive and participatory political education. This literature study aims to explore the strategies used by civil society organizations in educating generation Z about democratic values, citizen rights, and the importance of political participation. The literature study approach was used to examine various scientific articles, research reports, and policy documents over the past 10 years. The results of the study show that civil society strategies include digital civic education, strengthening issue-based communities, value-based social media campaigns, and collaboration with formal educational institutions. These strategies have been proven to be able to increase political awareness, critical thinking skills, and the tendency for active participation of generation Z in the democratic process. These findings emphasize the importance of collaboration between civil society and the state in building an inclusive and responsive political education ecosystem to the needs of the younger generation.

Abstract

Local communities play a strategic role as pillars of civil society, capable of driving social change, strengthening solidarity, and maintaining the sustainability of local culture and wisdom. This literature review aims to examine how the strength of local communities forms the foundation of civil society within a social, political, economic, and cultural context. The method used was a literature review of scientific articles, books, and research reports published between 2018 and 2025. The study's findings indicate that local communities function as spaces for democratic participation that strengthen social cohesion, reduce inequality, and increase community resilience in the face of crises. Furthermore, local wisdom, passed down from generation to generation, has proven to be a crucial instrument in maintaining social harmony and environmental sustainability. However, the challenges of modernization, globalization, and the penetration of digital technology often erode the value of collectivity, the primary strength of local communities. Therefore, community empowerment strategies based on active participation, multi-stakeholder collaboration, and the revitalization of local wisdom are needed to ensure communities remain adaptive in the face of changing times. This literature review confirms that the strength of local communities is a crucial foundation for realizing an inclusive, resilient, and sustainable civil society in Indonesia.

Abstract

Social activism is a concrete manifestation of civil society participation in driving social, political, economic, and cultural change. In both global and local contexts, social activism emerges as a response to injustice, marginalization, and the failure of the state and market to meet societal needs. This literature review aims to analyze the forms of social activism, their role in strengthening civil society, and the challenges faced in the digital era. The review shows that social activism has developed in various forms, ranging from street protests and policy advocacy to environmental movements and digital campaigns through social media. Activism is not merely mass mobilization but also a strategy for building critical awareness, solidarity, and alternative solutions to structural issues. In the digital era, social media serves as a new arena that expands the reach of activism, although it also presents challenges in the form of disinformation and movement fragmentation. This article concludes that social activism is a crucial instrument in strengthening civil society and democracy, although its effectiveness is heavily influenced by the political context, technology, and the capacity of civil society organizations themselves. Therefore, understanding social activism is key to understanding the dynamics of contemporary social change and formulating more inclusive and sustainable participation strategies.
