Abstract

In discussions on exchange, as well as an object in gift exchange money is often seen as a medium of exchange and a universal equivalent in the circulation of commodities. However, in the case of the management of the copra commodity which we researched on the island of Seram, money had become a factor in shaping a dynamic of gift continuity and transformation in the realm of the copra economy (in this context of the customary practice masohi). It transpires that money has promoted both the observance and erosion of masohi custom. Masohi is a tradition of community work in the island of Seram. It is based on non-capitalist social relations and the principle of reciprocal exchange. This article seeks to describe how money, originally a capitalist medium, has simultaneously served to preserve and transform masohi, which, in its essence, is a non-capitalist institution.

Abstract

Managing border areas shows how serious a country is in maintaining and regulating its territorial boundaries. One sign is the existence of a clear and comprehensive rule of law as a guideline for such management. This research analyzes Indonesia's land border management policy by comparing it to global best practices to formulate a more effective and sustainable strategy. A qualitative approach was taken to examine border management policies in various countries as lessons for Indonesia, by analyzing legal, social, and economic aspects through literature studies. Indonesia's border management shows strengths in law, security and diplomacy, but still faces challenges such as a lack of technological infrastructure. Countries like Poland have successfully tackled the hard-to-reach border in the Białowieża Forest by implementing AI-based smart fences. Indonesia can replicate this approach through digital transformation and the development of technology-based surveillance systems. In addition, improvements in strengthening the legal framework, providing incentives for cross-border economic development, increasing diplomatic engagement, and optimizing security surveillance must also be carried out simultaneously as an integrative effort in managing Indonesia's borders.
