Abstract

This study discusses the dynamics of nightlife tax policy in Makassar City, particularly in the Nusantara Street area, which is known as a center of nightlife activities and a location for covert prostitution. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study examines how Local Regulation No. 1 of 2024, which stipulates a 75% increase in nightlife tax, functions not only as a fiscal instrument to increase Local Own-Source Revenue (PAD), but also as a social regulatory instrument. The results of the study show that this policy has dual implications: on the one hand, it strengthens the political legitimacy of the city government in responding to the moral demands of the community, but on the other hand, it gives rise to unexpected consequences in the form of new negotiations between the government, nightlife entrepreneurs, and sex workers. High taxes actually encourage the capitalization of sex workers' bodies, widen the economic dependence of the surrounding community on the nightlife industry, and open up space for informal political compromise between entrepreneurs and officials. This study confirms that fiscal policy is never neutral, but is always linked to local social, political, and economic dynamics. The necessary follow-up is strengthening alternative policies based on a humanistic and inclusive approach, such as providing formal employment, economic empowerment programs for women, and more transparent and accountable supervision.

Abstract

This study focused on how UNICEF, as a foreign aid actor, plays a role in supporting the internalizing children's rights norms into local policies and practices in Makassar City. The issue examined stems from the gap between global commitments through the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and the practices of child protection at the local level. A qualitative case study approach considerated for for exploring complex experiences, perspectives, and social processes. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with members of the Makassar Children's Forum (FAM) and officials from the Makassar City Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Agency (DP3A); supplemented by participatory observation and analysis of official documents such as mayoral regulations, UNICEF reports, and training modules. The thematic analysis results show that the internalization of children's rights norms occurs through three main channels: technical assistance, policy advocacy, and community capacity building. This process follows the Norm Life Cycle pattern while undergoing adaptation through norm localization mechanisms. FAM acts as a norm translator that connects global values with local culture, such as siri and gotong royong. This study contributes theoretically by expanding the discourse on foreign aid as an instrument for norm diffusion, and practically by emphasizing the importance of local ownership in the sustainability of child protection. The findings suggest the need for stronger cultural translation strategies in child protection policies and programs at the regional level.
