Abstract

This study, affiliated with emerging countries, explores strategic partnerships among Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei in today’s global multipolar politics. It uses a linguistic approach, based on Critical Discourse Analysis and Corpus-Based Semantic Mapping. The research reviews 312 state-owned publications from 2024 to 2026 to analyse how language shapes geopolitical cooperation. The findings show significant semantic merging, with Indonesia and Malaysia converging the most. This indicates a shared, albeit asymmetric, discursive framework. Quantitative data reveal that framing and conceptual metaphor (38.2% and 29.5%, respectively) dominate rhetorical strategies. Qualitative analysis shows Indonesia as the main force, Malaysia as a mediator, and Brunei as maintaining order in its territory and nearby areas if needed. Triangulating the conclusions shows that higher semantic matching drives more regional mutual aid, especially in ASEAN terms post-2011. The corpus also contains 29 documents; discursive fragmentation weakens coalition cohesion by adding vagueness. The study introduces 'semantic matching' as a new way to measure and assess national behaviour in international politics. These findings highlight how emerging-country groups can build shared narratives that align with the global landscape

Abstract

With the Pancasila concept as a semantic frame, this report conceives democracy as a discursive system created by language. The research uses an interdisciplinary approach, integrating political theory, linguistics, and cultural analysis. It applies a mixed-method design, combining critical discourse analysis, corpus linguistics, and a quantitative model. The dataset contains about 950,000 words of electoral discussions (2019–26). These include official statements, campaign narratives, news reports, and digital communication. The findings reveal a semantic shift from deliberative language grounded in Pancasila, such as musyawarah and mufakat, to a competitive, evaluative, identity-based rhetorical mode. Competitive lexical items account for 41.7% of all words in the data. The count of deliberative terms drops to 18.6%. There is a strong positive relationship between the intensity of data evaluation and engagement (r = 0.72, p < .001). Qualitative examination shows competing framing, symbolic simplification, and identity polarisation dominate. Elections become a rivalry rather than a collective decision-making process. This semantic change is verified against three provable sources. The first is the nationwide shift from Pancasila scholarship to digital communication, which has heightened its seriousness. The research concludes that the fragility of Indonesia's direct electoral system stems from semantic differences between Pancasila’s deliberative aspect and patterns of public language. To maintain democratic legitimacy, social harmony, and long-term viability, Indonesia's electoral democracy must be adjusted

Abstract

Recent studies indicate a concerning trend of narrow religious practices among university students, reflected in misconceptions of sensitive terms such as jihad, khilafah, and kafir. This signals rising religious conservatism among students, who are traditionally viewed as agents of progress. Existing research predominantly focuses on religious understanding while overlooking students’ actual religious experiences and daily practices, leaving a gap in comprehending this phenomenon. This study examines the experiences and daily practices of students at Universitas Brawijaya in relation to religious diversity. It investigates how they navigate their religious, civic, and nationalist identities, and how their religious beliefs shape their citizenship actions. The study employs a two-phase mixed-method design. The first phase examines how family closeness and relational conflicts influence tolerance behaviors, while the second implements and explores a site-in family project as a representation of religious and citizenship practices within the campus context. It engaged 30 students from diverse religious backgrounds in a moral camp program that combined family involvement with multi-faith dialogue, creating an environment for authentic exchange and understanding. Preliminary findings suggest that family-based interventions significantly enhance students’ ability to develop moderate religious perspectives while maintaining strong religious identities. This study contributes to the growing literature on religious moderation in higher education by highlighting the crucial role of family dynamics and experiential learning in shaping students’ religious worldviews. The findings offer insights for designing more effective approaches to fostering religious moderation among university students, emphasizing the integration of family involvement and practical experiences into religious education programs.
