Abstract

The global race for critical minerals has transformed nickel into a strategic asset in contemporary geopolitics. Indonesia, possessing one of the world’s largest nickel reserves, has adopted a downstream policy to assert greater control over its mineral resources and strengthen national economic sovereignty. This study aims to analyze Indonesia’s nickel downstream policy from an international relations perspective, emphasizing its geopolitical, economic, and strategic implications. Using a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach, the research draws on policy documents, trade data, and scholarly discourse to interpret Indonesia’s positioning within global power dynamics. The findings reveal that the policy reflects Indonesia’s attempt to transition from a resource supplier to a value-added industrial hub, balancing between China’s technological dominance and Western market access. Moreover, the policy redefines Indonesia’s bargaining power in international trade and its alignment in global supply chains for electric vehicles and renewable energy. The study concludes that Indonesia’s nickel strategy represents a form of resource nationalism adapted to 21st-century multipolar competition, offering insights into how developing nations can leverage critical minerals for geopolitical advantage.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of TikTok as a dominant social media platform has transformed how Islamic messages circulate and how young Muslims construct religious identity. The rise of TikTok preachers—often young, charismatic, and digitally fluent—has introduced new forms of “digital dakwah” that blend religious discourse with entertainment, lifestyle aesthetics, and algorithmic amplification. This phenomenon raises critical questions about how Islamic teachings are framed, simplified, or commodified within fast-paced digital cultures, and how such virality shapes the religious orientations of millennial Muslim audiences. This study aims to analyze the discursive strategies used by TikTok preachers and examine how their content contributes to the formation, negotiation, or contestation of millennial Muslim identity. The research focuses on identifying linguistic patterns, thematic frames, and visual narratives that construct what may be described as “halal virality”—religious messages optimized for algorithmic spread. A qualitative discourse analysis was employed, drawing on multimodal samples from 30 high-engagement TikTok accounts. Data were examined through Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis framework, supported by audience comment analysis to understand reception patterns. Coding focused on authority construction, moral positioning, identity markers, and algorithmic cues embedded in the content. Findings reveal that digital preachers construct authority not primarily through traditional scholarly credentials but through relatability, emotional resonance, and aesthetic presentation. The discourse often simplifies complex theological issues into motivational soundbites, fostering a form of identity that is highly expressive, individualized, and platform-shaped. The study concludes that TikTok-based dakwah significantly influences millennial Muslim identity by merging religious meaning-making with digital performativity, commercial logics, and algorithmic trends.
