Abstract

This study investigates the manifestation of neo-extractivism within Indonesia’s nickel downstreaming policy by specifically examining the Weda Bay Industrial Park (IWIP). To provide context, the research analyzes how state-led industrial strategies, often presented as resource nationalism, intersect with the demands of the global energy transition and local socio-ecological conditions. A qualitative single case study design was applied for this researh. Furthermore, the analysis utilizes Svampa’s framework of neo-extractivism, which includes three specific dimensions: the eco-territorial turn, the commodities consensus and developmentalist illusion, and new dependencies. The findings indicate that IWIP represents Indonesia’s ambition to move from a raw material exporter to a strategic processing hub, yet one must acknowledge that this transformation is established through ecological degradation, the dispossession of indigenous communities, and persistent inequality. Moreover, the study shows that rapid economic growth in North Maluku failed to improve household welfare, effectively confirming the presence of a developmentalist illusion. Indonesia’s reliance on Chinese capital, technology, and offtake agreements has also entrenched structural subordination, thereby creating new dependencies. Consequently, the research concludes that IWIP illustrates the inherent contradictions of neo-extractivism, which underscores the necessity for a radical reorientation toward development models that are socially and ecologically just.

Abstract

This study investigates how post-conflict governance in Poso has been shaped by neopatrimonial practices and how hybrid political orders endure despite the formalization of peace agreements. The research aims to explain the persistence of elite domination in the region by examining the ways in which local actors consolidate their power through control of resources, patronage networks, clientelism, and the mobilization of religious sentiment. To achieve this, the study employs a qualitative explanatory approach, relying on in-depth interviews with key informants, analysis of official documents, electoral results, and secondary materials such as books, journals, and online publications. The findings reveal that while the Malino Declaration of 2001 was successful in reducing the intensity of violent conflict between Christian and Muslim communities, it fell short of producing a more inclusive and democratic political order. Instead, the political arena in Poso remains dominated by a small circle of elites who sustain the status quo and use both formal and informal mechanisms to secure their authority. These dynamics demonstrate that neopatrimonialism continues to influence the post-conflict political landscape, giving rise to a hybrid political order in which democratic institutions formally exist but function in parallel with clientelistic practices and elite-driven governance. The study concludes that without addressing the entrenched neopatrimonial system, post-conflict democratization in Poso will remain limited, and power will continue to circulate within narrow elite networks rather than being shared more broadly across society.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan meningkatkan pemahaman etika digital dan keterampilan produksi konten Islami pada santri di Kota Malang melalui program sosialisasi yang dilaksanakan oleh Universitas Brawijaya bekerja sama dengan PCNU. Metode yang digunakan adalah pre-test dan post-test terhadap 29 santri dengan instrumen kuesioner berisi 10 pertanyaan menggunakan skala Likert lima poin. Variabel yang diukur meliputi kesadaran etika bermedia sosial, pemahaman risiko penyalahgunaan data pribadi, kesadaran terhadap jejak digital, serta kemampuan membuat konten Islami yang relevan bagi generasi muda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya peningkatan signifikan pada hampir semua indikator. Peningkatan paling mencolok terlihat pada kemampuan membuat konten Islami yang kreatif, dari 17,2% responden pada skala tertinggi sebelum intervensi menjadi 55,2% sesudahnya. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa program sosialisasi tidak hanya menambah pengetahuan normatif, tetapi juga memperkuat kapasitas praktis santri. Kontribusi utama penelitian ini adalah memperlihatkan potensi intervensi berbasis kolaborasi pendidikan dan organisasi keagamaan dalam membentuk generasi santri yang adaptif, etis, dan produktif di ruang digital.

Abstract

This article examines South Africa’s geostrategy as a regional power through Ubuntu Diplomacy toward the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) from 2011 to 2022. It aims to explain how South Africa’s stable border orientation enabled power projection to a non-neighbouring state and how Ubuntu Diplomacy framed this process. The study uses a case study design. Using Jakub J. Grygiel’s geostrategy framework, the analysis first assesses South Africa’s state borders and border pressure, then maps power projection in the DRC across diplomatic-political, military, and economic instruments. The findings show that relatively stable borders reduced defensive constraints and facilitated long-range power projection, while Ubuntu Diplomacy provided normative justification for these policy choices.
