Abstract

This article examines Indonesia's One Channel System (OCS) as a strategic labor migration policy. Grounded in a qualitative content analysis of policy documents and bilateral agreements, the study moves beyond a descriptive account to offer a critical evaluation of the OCS. It utilizes Michael G. Roskin’s theory of National Interest as a foundational framework for understanding the state’s motivations. Still, it enriches this with complementary lenses from the International Relations literature, including migration governance, labor diplomacy, and human security. The findings affirm that the OCS serves as a key instrument of Indonesian statecraft, advancing national security, securing economic interests through remittance formalization, and enhancing international prestige. However, the analysis reveals that significant challenges severelly constrain the policy’s effectiveness. These include a persistent lack of bilateral cooperation from Malaysia, critical on-the-ground implementation gaps, and the unintended risk of state overreach. A fundamental disconnect between the policy’s top-down objectives and the lived realities and agency of migrant workers. The study concludes that while the OCS is a vital assertion of regulatory sovereignty, its success is contingent on bridging the gap between state-centric interests and worker-centric protection. It suggests that future policy must prioritize legally binding bilateral enforcement and address deep-rooted implementation failures.

Abstract

The Palestine–Israel conflict, is one of the most complex and prolonged issues in modern international politics, marked by an acute humanitarian crisis since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. In this context, Indonesia holds a distinctive position as a country that has consistently supported the Palestinian struggle, from the era of President Soekarno to President Joko Widodo. This research, aims to analyze Indonesia's foreign policy toward the Palestine–Israel issue through the lens of normative theory in International Relations, which emphasizes the importance of moral values, ethical principles, and international norms in state decision-making. Utilizing a qualitative method based on literature studies and in-depth interviews, this study explores how the constitutional foundation of the 1945 Constitution, the values of Pancasila, and the nation's moral identity shape Indonesia’s consistent stance in international forums. The findings reveal, that Indonesia’s support for Palestine is not merely a political strategy or a response to global dynamics, but rather a representation of a normative commitment to justice, human rights, and anti-colonial principles. The normative theory approach in this study demonstrates that Indonesia’s foreign policy reflects the nation’s ethical identity as well as its moral stance in confronting global injustices experienced by the Palestinian people. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of how normative theory can be applied to analyze foreign policy in the Global South, particularly in post-colonial contexts. The study also provides insights for policy makers and scholars in recognizing the enduring role of ethical considerations in shaping international relations.

Abstract

This research examines dual subordination of Indonesian female peacekeepers experiencing layered control from private institutions (family/husbands) and public institutions (state/military). Using critical feminist methodology through qualitative literature-based discourse analysis, this study applies feminist state theory and intersectionality analysis to reveal how the state instrumentalizes marriage institutions controlling female soldiers' professional autonomy. Findings indicate spousal permission requirements for peacekeeping assignments create dual ownership: women belong to husbands privately and the state publicly, making career advancement contingent on spousal approval rather than solely professional competence. Three operational mechanisms function: juridical domestication (codifying marital status as professional determinant), institutional collusion (domestic-military patriarchy collaboration), and internalized patriarchy (women accepting subordination systems). Comparative analysis reveals male soldiers face no equivalent requirements, perpetuating hegemonic masculinity. This study offers a new analytical framework conceptualizing dual ownership through three subordination mechanisms for understanding spousal-permission regulations in troop-contributing countries, advancing knowledge on domestic-institutional patriarchy intersections limiting women's peacekeeping participation.

Abstract

Secara teknis, jaminan hak memilih sangat dipengaruhi oleh sejauhmana seorang warga negara masuk ke dalam daftar pemilih, namun terdapat hambatan terkait hak pilih tahanan dan narapidana di rutan kelas I Pekanbaru, pada Pemilu serentak 2019,. Dari penghuni tahanan dan narapidana yang berjumlah 1688 orang, pada tanggal 17 April 2019 hanya 33 orang yang dapat dimasukan dalam data pemilih pada tempat pemungutas suara setempat,  dan yang menggunakan hak pilih hanya 20 orang, sehingga hampir 98 persen warga binaan tidak dapat memilih pada saat hari pemungutan suara,. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif kualitatif dengan menggunakan metode wawancara,dan studi kepustakaan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kualitatif. Lokasi penelitian adalah Rumah Tahanan Kelas I Pekanbaru. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan penyebab tahanan dan narapidana  tidak dapat menggunakan hak pilihnya, karena disebabkan oleh sulitnya menelusuri data otentik tahanan dan narapidana di rutan, karena sebagian besar data warga binaan hanya berasal dari berkas pengadilan yang hanya berupa nama, jenis kelamin. Tidak memuat nomor induk kependududkan karena indentitas tahanan dan narapidana tidak lengkap, maka jaminan hak pilih warga binaan di Rutan Kelas I Pekanbaru hanya dilaksanakan secara normatif oleh KPU Kota Pekanbaru sesuai tahapan dan prosedur yang berlaku, sehingga banyak narapidana yang berasal dari luar daerah tidak dapat diakomodir hak pilihnya. Perlu koordinasi antar lembaga yang lebih kuat dan berkesinambungan dan menambah regulasi yang dapat mempermudah proses pendataan tahanan dan narapidana ke dalam data pemilihKata kunci: Hak Pilih, Pemilu Inklusif, Narapidana

Abstract

This research examines the role of UN Women’s Transnational Advocacy Networks (TANs) in addressing gender-based violence (GBV) in Indonesia during the 2020–2024 period, focusing on the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence campaign. GBV remains a persistent concern within Indonesia’s policy landscape, and transnational advocacy has become increasingly influential in shaping national discourses. Drawing on the Transnational Advocacy Networks framework developed by Keck and Sikkink, this research analyzes advocacy strategies operating through information politics, symbolic politics, leverage politics, and accountability politics. By concentrating on a defined temporal scope and a single advocacy initiative, the study provides an empirically grounded examination of UN Women’s advocacy practices in Indonesia. The research employs a qualitative methodology based on document analysis of UN Women publications, campaign materials, legal instruments, and reports produced by national institutions and civil society organizations. The findings indicate that advocacy activities predominantly operate through information and symbolic politics by producing and disseminating gender-related data and aligning campaign narratives with international gender equality norms. Overall, this research demonstrates that UN Women’s transnational advocacy in Indonesia primarily contributes to norm diffusion and policy agenda-setting, while post-legislative accountability remains limited across institutional contexts and enforcement practices at national and local levels contexts.
