Abstract

This study emphasizes the interconnected relationship between the Halal Economy and Islamic Financial Mechanisms, proposing that Indonesia should strategically incorporate Sharia financial mechanisms to advance its halal economy. By following Islamic finance principles, Indonesia can allure foreign investment, encourage ethical business conduct, and fulfil the increasing demand for halal products and services worldwide. Despite advancements in Indonesia's halal industry development, challenges such as the requirement for specialized expertise and strong regulatory frameworks continue to exist. However, through deliberate integration and targeted investments in education and infrastructure, Indonesia can establish itself as a key player in the global halal market. This will drive economic growth, while improving sustainable development efforts and enhancing global competitiveness.

Abstract

This opinion paper critically examines the structural and regulatory architecture of Sharia-compliant mortgage financing, Kredit Pemilikan Rumah Syariah (KPR Syariah), in Indonesia, with particular attention to the normative tensions between classical Islamic jurisprudence and contemporary financial engineering. Drawing on established scholarship in Islamic finance, Indonesian positive law, and institutional economics, this study argues that the existing framework, while formally compliant with Fatwa Dewan Syariah Nasional—Majelis Ulama Indonesia, exhibits persistent ambiguities in contractual taxonomy, inadequate consumer protection architecture, and insufficient harmonization with the broader macroprudential objectives of Bank Indonesia and Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK). This study further contends that the dominant murabahah-based KPR model, despite its widespread adoption, raises unresolved questions regarding risk distribution, profit margin transparency, and the authentic transfer of maqasid al-shari'ah principles into product design to be implemented. The analysis concludes with a normative agenda for reform oriented toward contractual fidelity, regulatory convergence, and genuine financial inclusion.

Abstract

The philosophy of economics has rarely asked how economic knowledge is formed, justified and applied in a plural, Muslim-majority, post-authoritarian developing society, despite Indonesia's formative role in twentieth-century debates over the cultural scope of economic theory. This article systematically reviews contemporary scholarship on the philosophical and epistemological foundations of Indonesian economic thought. Following SPAR-4-SLR and PRISMA 2020, a Scopus-derived corpus of 55 records (retrieved 4 September 2026) was screened to 44 eligible studies, profiled descriptively and synthesised through critical interpretive synthesis around the concept of epistemic orders: socially sustained configurations of epistemic authority, anthropology of the economic agent, conception of the economic good and institutional carriers. Six orders structure the literature: constitutional–nationalist, Islamic–theological, customary–communal, technocratic–market, structural–institutionalist and juridical–procedural. Fifty-nine per cent of studies invoke two orders, and hybrid frameworks proliferate in halal governance and state-enterprise reform. The field is juridified: 17 of 44 studies appear in law journals and doctrinal analysis is the modal method, so that questions about economic truth are posed as questions about legal certainty. Warrants are methodologically segregated—quantitative evidence serves only the technocratic order, ethnography the customary order, doctrine the Islamic and juridical orders—so that hybridisation occurs at the level of concepts rather than evidence. The article offers the first systematic mapping of post-Reformasi Indonesian economic thought as an epistemological field, proposes a typology of inter-order interaction (subsumption, hybridisation, translation and contestation) and sets out a research agenda for a philosophy of economics attentive to plural orders of justification in the Global South. Keywords: philosophy of economics; epistemic pluralism; Pancasila economics; Islamic economics; legal pluralism; moral economy; Indonesia; systematic literature review

Abstract

The encounter between computational methods and the study of language and literature has moved from a specialist pursuit to a mainstream concern over the past two decades, an acceleration made abrupt by the public release of large language models (LLMs) in late 2022. However, the bibliometric evidence documenting this transformation is fragmented across incompatible databases, disciplinary labels, and short observation windows, leaving scholars without an integrated map of the field. This article synthesizes the quantitative findings of the principal Scopus- and Web of Science–indexed bibliometric studies published between 2004 and 2024, complemented by seminal works that define the intellectual tradition of Digital Humanities (DH) and computational literary studies. Following the PRISMA 2020 guidance, twenty-four core studies and foundational works were selected for a structured performance and science-mapping synthesis. The evidence shows a rapidly expanding but structurally uneven field: corpus sizes reported by prior analyses range from 185 documents in applied linguistics to more than 8,000 across the broad DH landscape; publication output in the artificial intelligence and language stream rose by roughly 190% between 2017 and 2022; and ChatGPT-focused educational research grew from a single indexed document in 2022 to 211 in 2023. Geographically, leadership is contested between the United States and China, while the field’s most cited outlet remains the former Literary and Linguistic Computing (now Digital Scholarship in the Humanities). Six thematic clusters emerged: natural language processing and intelligent tutoring, computer-assisted language learning, automated writing evaluation, computational stylistics, AI authorship and academic integrity, and speech-and multimodal interfaces. The review argues that the field’s central tension—between quantitative ambition and interpretive validation—remains unresolved and is intensified rather than settled by the generative AI. The implications for language and literature scholarship and an agenda for methodologically transparent computational inquiry are outlined.
