Abstract

This study aims to analyze the complex impact of President Donald Trump's "America First" protectionist economic policies on economic growth in the Southeast Asian region through the lens of Economic Realism theory. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive analytical design. Data were collected through document studies in the form of official US policy data, ASEAN communiques, World Bank and IMF reports, and other academic literature, which were analyzed thematically based on the Economic Realism framework. The results reveal a dual impact. Trump's policies disrupted global supply chains and increased uncertainty. However, simultaneously, these policies opened up strategic opportunities in the form of trade diversion and investment relocation from China to Southeast Asia. The impact was not homogeneous, with Vietnam emerging as a major beneficiary, while countries with highly open economies experienced a slowdown. In aggregate, the region's economies demonstrated resilience driven by domestic demand and regional integration, leading to accelerated structural transformation. There are significant implications of Trump's policies regarding his role as a catalyst for accelerating economic diversification and building regional economic resilience. Therefore, to ensure sustainable growth, Southeast Asian countries need to continue strengthening regional cooperation and enhancing domestic competitiveness.

Abstract

based Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in South Buru Regency as an archipelagic region of Indonesia. This study employed a qualitative case study approach supported by descriptive quantitative data. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and participant observation involving 25 women MSME actors in Labuang Village, Namrole District. The findings reveal that women play a dominant and strategic role not only in production activities, particularly in trade and fisheries, but also in controlling key resources such as finances, production tools, and savings. Financial control emerges as a critical factor in ensuring MSME sustainability. Notably, in the specific context of Labuang Village, patriarchal structures commonly reported as barriers to women’s access and participation do not fully apply. Instead, women demonstrate a high degree of agency in managing both enterprises and household resources. Nevertheless, persistent challenges remain, including limited access to formal financing, which leads to reliance on informal moneylenders, as well as the dual burden arising from domestic responsibilities. This study underscores that empowering women in local resource-based MSMEs is a crucial strategy for fostering inclusive and sustainable economic development in South Buru Regency. Accordingly, this study recommends the formulation of holistic, women-centered policies that encompass inclusive access to capital, managerial and digital skills training, and the strengthening of social networks to further optimize women’s strategic roles in local economic development.

Abstract

The role of tourism in maintaining economic stability at the household and regional levels is significant. The pursuit of enhanced household income opportunities has prompted individuals to transition their livelihoods from traditional sectors, such as fisheries, agriculture, and trade, to the tourism sector. However, the tourism sector is characterized by inherent challenges, notably its seasonal nature. This is further compounded by a dearth of knowledge concerning the management of tourist attractions among relevant business actors. To obtain a comprehensive understanding of the livelihood transformation from agriculture, fisheries, and trade to tourism, this study employed a qualitative research method with a phenomenological approach. The study was conducted in Jikumerasa Village, Buru Regency, Maluku Province Indonesia, involving informants who had transitioned from agriculture, fisheries, and trade to tourism. A total of 11 individuals were interviewed, including farmers, traders, employees, and fishermen. To enhance the credibility of the findings, a triangulation technique was employed, involving the insights of the village head, community leaders, and the manager of the Baikolet Jikumerasa Beach tourist attraction. The results indicate that the transformation of rural community livelihoods to the tourism sector is a multifaceted process involving economic diversification, social capital development, and cultural preservation. The predominant challenge confronting rural households pertains to the stability of their household economy, particularly with respect to meeting the manifold and evolving needs of their members. For these reasons, the government are suggested to promote community involvement, allocate resources to infrastructure development, and encourage the adoption of sustainable practices. These measures, if implemented, have the potential to unlock the full economic potential of tourism, thereby fostering the development of a resilient and thriving rural economy. To this end, government intervention through programs and policies is imperative, encompassing management training, financing, and promotion, to ensure the economic stability of households and beach attractions is maintained over the long term.
