Abstract

This article analyses the network of narratives circulating on social media regarding the XYZ Ministry in Indonesia, focusing on distinguishing between constructive criticism and the activities of "pseudo-haters." Criticism of government institutions on social media often intertwines with destructive and constructive negative narratives. Through narrative network analysis, this research aims to identify interaction patterns and information dissemination that indicate the presence of groups spreading unfounded negative narratives classified as "pseudo-haters." Social media has emerged as the primary platform for the public to express aspirations and criticisms; however, it is also susceptible to spreading harmful narratives that tarnish the institution's image. This article employs a narrative network analysis approach to identify key actors, narrative themes, and information dissemination patterns related to the XYZ Ministry. The research results are anticipated to map the current narrative landscape and uncover the presence of "pseudo-haters" groups that may contribute to the spread of factually unfounded negative narratives. These results are expected to provide a deeper understanding of the dynamics of criticism and the dissemination of negative narratives on social media, along with their implications for Ministry XYZ's reputation and public communication.

Abstract

Paradox of the United States soft diplomacy through the American Indonesian Exchange Foundation (AMINEF) as a tool of cultural diplomacy amid increasingly restrictive immigration policies. While the U.S. promotes openness, multiculturalism, and international collaboration through programs such as Fulbright and the Community College Initiative, its stringent immigration policiesparticularly since the Trump era and beyond the pandemiccontradict the nations image as a defender of freedom and inclusivity. Using a qualitative, literature-based approach and critical discourse analysis, this research explores how soft diplomacy operates as a foreign policy strategy to sustain American cultural hegemony in Indonesia. The findings indicate that, despite restrictive immigration measures, AMINEF remains effective in fostering cultural diplomacy and enhancing the U.S. image in Indonesia. This paradox underscores Americas attempt to balance domestic priorities (security and nationalism) with global ambitions (cultural and political influence).
