Abstract

The development of digitalisation has penetrated the transportation sector. Indonesia has become a market for ride-sharing startups which has proliferated in the past three years. This article aimed to understand the hidden interests and dominance occurring in industrial relations in the sharing economy system in Grab Indonesia, especially in GrabCar services. The formulations of the problem in this paper were: whether the cause of the conflict between Grab company and its business partners reflected the company's or business partners’ hidden interests? And then, what were the implications of the conflict on industrial relations for Grab and its partners?. This study used a qualitative approach with the Verstehen method to find the deepest and intersubjective meanings of social actions. This research applied the theory of conflict, industrial relations, and partnerships. Data sources in this study were primary sources in the form of interviews and secondary sources through newspapers, journals, books and webpages. The results showed that the cause of the conflict between Grab and its business partners revealed hidden interests of the company and some of its business partners. and also, conflicts caused imbalance and dominance of industrial relations in which the company has stronger power and authority than its business partners.

Abstract

This article examines how the US-China trade war reshapes the resilience of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesian urban economies. While existing studies primarily focus on macroeconomic consequences of global trade rivalry, this study situates MSMEs as socially embedded urban actors operating within spatially uneven market structures, informal economic networks, and localized consumption systems. Using a qualitative political economy approach based on literature review, policy analysis, and illustrative urban evidence from Surabaya and Jakarta, the article analyzes how global supply-chain disruptions, import competition, and financial tightening affect MSME sustainability at the city level. The findings demonstrate that MSMEs function not only as economic units but also as neighborhood-based infrastructures of social resilience that absorb labor displacement, stabilize household income circulation, and maintain local economic continuity under conditions of global uncertainty. However, adaptive capacity varies across urban spaces depending on infrastructure access, institutional support, and market connectivity. The study argues that MSME resilience should be understood as a spatially embedded relational process shaped by interactions between global political economy restructuring and localized social adaptation practices
