Abstract

The US-China trade war is a trade conflict that has an impact on the global economy. In this trade war, the hegemon state becomes the main global focus. Therefore, the US-China trade war reflects the rivalry between two superpowers that influence global economic stability. This trade war creates uncertainty for economies around the world. This research examines the concept of hegemonic stability theory in the US-China trade war which reflects the rivalry between hegemons. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method. This research also uses the theory of hegemonic stability in the international system. Moreover, this research used literature study techniques to obtain relevant data. The results show that the US-China trade wars have an impact on the global economy. This study finds that Canada and Australia suffer from trade disruption, while Vietnam benefits from investment diversion. The emergence of China as a new and great economic power proves the hegemonic stability though, that a world with more than one dominant player causes chaos, especially in the world economy.

Abstract

The discourse on regional head elections through the Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) has sparked both pros and cons among the public. The large budget and money politics are the reasons for this discourse. This has led some to question the rationality of the plan, as it is considered capable of minimizing public involvement and weakening democracy. However, various strategies exist to create more efficient regional elections. This study aims to discuss efforts to enhance the quality of democracy by creating more efficient regional head elections. The novelty of this research lies in the re-emergence of the discourse on indirect regional elections. Accordingly, this study seeks to identify which aspects of election budgeting contribute to inefficiency and to propose possible strategies to address these issues. This includes discussing the potential of combining judicial review mechanisms amid the risks associated with the adoption of technology in elections. The findings show that the main problems in regional elections—such as high political costs, money politics, oligarchic dominance, and weak transparency—are structural and institutional rather than caused solely by the direct election system. Therefore, improving local democracy should focus on reforming candidate recruitment, strengthening political funding accountability, and enhancing public oversight and political education. In addition, the integration of election technology has the potential to improve efficiency and transparency if supported by institutional readiness and efforts to reduce the digital divide.
