Abstract

Cultural Sufism, as an integral part of Indonesia's culture and spirituality, not only functions as a mystical practice but also plays a significant role in the social construction related to defense. This study aims to demonstrate the relationship between Sufism and the cultural values inherited from ancestors and how cultural Sufism can become a force in preserving the nation's identity and integrity amidst the currents of globalization and modernization. Using an interdisciplinary approach, this research analyzes cultural Sufism through the lens of the social construction of reality, focusing on the Nusantara version of Sufi teachings to strengthen the collective awareness that the cultural heritage of ancestors remains strategic in the contemporary era. The study reveals that cultural Sufism functions not only as a spiritual practice but also as a form of cultural defense that unites social values, traditions, and wisdom in confronting the challenges of the times. The findings offer new insights into how cultural Sufism can serve as one of the tools of defense against threats to diversity, national integrity, and the ideals of defending the nation.

Abstract

The Syrian conflict, beginning in 2011, escalated into a complex civil war, challenging the government's counterinsurgency (COIN) efforts. This study analyzes Syria's COIN failure through Clausewitz's Trinity, focusing on the interplay between government, military, and people. Using qualitative document analysis, data from government reports, academic articles, and expert analyses are examined. The research highlights an imbalance in Clausewitz's Trinity: the Assad regime lost legitimacy, the military fragmented, and excessive reliance on force alienated civilians. External support for rebels further hindered COIN efforts. The study underscores the need for balanced COIN strategies, integrating military action, government legitimacy, and popular support. These insights offer valuable lessons for addressing future insurgencies with a holistic approach.

Abstract

Mental coaching in an effort to prevent criminal and disciplinary violations among Indonesian Air Force soldiers is seen as one of the key elements in shaping the character and morale of soldiers, which in turn has a direct impact on performance and compliance with regulations. This study analyzes various forms of mental coaching implemented in the TNI AU environment, as well as their effectiveness in reducing incidents of legal and disciplinary violations. Through a qualitative approach with a case study method, data were collected from in-depth interviews, observations, and analysis of related documents. The results of the study indicate that systematic and ongoing mental coaching has a significant impact in reducing the number of violations among soldiers. In addition, this study found that mental coaching not only helps in preventing violations, but also plays a role in improving the morale and work ethics of soldiers, which is very important in supporting the main tasks of the TNI AU. This study recommends increasing the intensity and quality of mental coaching programs in the TNI AU environment, as well as its integration with other training programs to form soldiers with strong character and high discipline. Thus, mental coaching has been proven to be one of the effective strategies in maintaining the professionalism and integrity of TNI AU soldiers in carrying out their duties.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the implementation of aviation security in the face of cyber threats and formulate the best strategies to strengthen national digital defense in the perspective of the Universal War Strategy. The background of this research is driven by the increasing frequency and complexity of cyberattacks against global and regional aviation systems, which threaten aviation safety and national sovereignty. Based on data from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO, 2023), cyberattacks in the aviation sector increased by 46% between 2020–2023, while the State Cyber and Cryptography Agency (BSSN, 2023) recorded more than 210 cyber incidents targeting Indonesia's air transportation system. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method, with two main theoretical foundations, namely George C. Edward III's policy implementation theory and Carl von Clausewitz's military strategy theory which is operationalized through SWOT-AHP analysis. The results of the study show that the implementation of cybersecurity policies in Indonesia's aviation sector still faces obstacles in terms of communication, resources, executive disposition, and bureaucratic structure. Factually, only 37% of national airport operators have cyber incident response teams (CSIRTs), while the digital security budget allocation is still below ICAO's recommendation of 2% of the total operational budget. A special finding from this study is the application of the concept of "Digital Universe War", which is the synergy of civilian, military, and technological forces in the national cyber defense system that is integrated with the ASEAN regional security ecosystem. Based on the SWOT-AHP results, the best priority strategy is the integration of national cybersecurity and aviation systems (weight 0.36), followed by increasing human resource capacity and strengthening regional cyber intelligence cooperation. This research contributes significantly to expanding the paradigm of universal warfare to the digital realm as a strategic instrument to maintain national aviation security and sovereignty in the cyber era.

Abstract

This study analyzes how China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is being used as a strategy to strengthen its hegemony in the Indo-Pacific region and challenge US dominance. Using descriptive qualitative methods that integrate literature analysis and case studies, the study explores the economic, political, and security impacts of the BRI in countries such as Indonesia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and the Philippines. The findings suggest that the BRI not only enhances connectivity and economic growth through massive investments in infrastructure, but also Building strong political alliances that shift geopolitical power dynamics in the region. For example, the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail project in Indonesia and the Hambantota port in Sri Lanka illustrate how BRI investments can improve local infrastructure. However, increasing economic dependence on China raises concerns about debt sustainability and the potential loss of sovereignty. national interests, such as in Sri Lanka, where a port had to be leased to China due to debt repayment. Furthermore, the BRI has strengthened military and strategic cooperation between China and partner countries, as seen in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), which also supports Pakistan's military modernization. The proposed strategic recommendations include enhancing transparency and governance in BRI projects to mitigate concerns about corruption and mismanagement, addressing debt sustainability through mechanisms such as debt restructuring and grants, and balancing economic interests with environmental and social sustainability through rigorous impact assessments. With the right approach, the BRI has the potential to continue playing a significant role in global development and creating new opportunities for partner countries, while supporting regional stability and prosperity.
