Abstract

This study investigates the decision-making processes of upper-middle-class families in Jakarta, Indonesia, when choosing elder care facility (Panti Werdha) for their elderly parents. Utilizing the Rational Choice perspective, the research examines how these families navigate cultural and religious values while considering individual preferences and family dynamics. This qualitative case study explores the experiences of three families consisting of upper-middleclass families who have entrusted the care of their elderly relatives to Panti Werdha. It analyzes the negotiation stages among family members, particularly between children and their elderly parents. The study seeks to understand how these families balance material and moral considerations while adhering to societal norms, ultimately questioning whether their choices are truly rational. It reveals that the decision-making process is a complex negotiation involving rational choices, weighing material and moral benefits, and ultimately driven by the desire to minimize burdens and ensure the elderly's autonomy and well-being. The study identifies a shift in values among these families, suggesting that traditional models of family care are evolving, with nursing homes becoming a more acceptable option for the elderly and their families.

Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this article is to review the literature related to Indonesia’s Global Maritime Fulcrum (GMF) policy, which was initiated by President Joko Widodo at the beginning of his administration in 2014. This study seeks to identify the challenges that arose during the transition and implementation of the GMF policy, particularly in the period from 2014 to 2019. Study Design/Methodology/Approach: This article employs a qualitative research method with a descriptive-analytical approach. Literature sources such as journal articles, opinion pieces, books, and documents from relevant ministries and agencies are utilized to analyze the trends in the development of PMD policy during the second half of President Joko Widodo's administration. Findings: The findings indicate that most recent literature suggests a shift in priorities during President Joko Widodo's second term (2014-2019) concerning the GMF policy. This shift is evident from the decreasing focus on GMF in various speeches and governmental policies, alongside a greater emphasis on land-based infrastructure and economic development rather than maritime. The article categorizes the factors contributing to this shift into two major groups: external challenges and internal challenges. The primary external challenge currently faced by Indonesia is the increasing aggressiveness of China in the South China Sea. Meanwhile, the internal challenges include the limitations of military budgets, the COVID-19 pandemic, the allure of China's economic incentives, and a lack of coordination among related ministries and agencies.Top of FormBottom of Form Originality/Value: The study underscores the need on GMF issues should focus more on the prioritization of GMF programs. Additionally, relevant ministries and agencies need to establish realistic priorities within the GMF program, considering current budgetary constraints and the socio-political and economic landscape, to effectively achieve the GMF vision.

Abstract

In this digital era, cyber espionage is a serious threat to countries around the world, including Indonesia. This study looks at the legal framework governing cyber espionage, and the challenges and opportunities for law enforcement it faces as well as its development. Through a qualitative methodology based on institutional theory, this study reveals that the existing legal framework, particularly The Electronic Information and Transactions Law (ITE Law) and Penal Code (KUHP), is still not sufficient. Lack of legal clarity and inconsistencies — both internationally and nationally — make things even more difficult. Other contributing factors to poor law enforcement include limited institutional capacity resulting in the lack of well-trained human resources, insufficient technological infrastructure, and inter-agency collaboration. The process of isomorphism, which is understood in institutional framework as imitation of best practices implemented by other countries to cope with cyber espionage, does not always work because each country has different contexts and needs. This study shows that most literature in cyber espionage underscores the need for comprehensive legal reform, improvement of institutional capacity, quality of cooperation, and better understanding of the role of non-state actors in building an effective cyber security system in Indonesia.

Abstract

Abstrak :Artikel ini bertujuan menganalisis kepentingan nasional dan kebijakan luar negeri Amerika Serikat di bawah kepemimpinan Presiden Donald J. Trump terkait pemindahan Kedutaan Besar Amerika Serikat di Israel dari Tel-Aviv ke Yerusalem pada 6 Desember 2017. Relokasi Kedutaan Besar Amerika Serikat telah ditetapkan dalam Undang-Undang Kedutaan Yerusalem yang disetujui oleh kongres Amerika Serikat ke-104 pada tahun 1995 pada masa pemerintahan Presiden Bill Clinton. Namun, selama beberapa dekade pelaksanaan undang-undang tersebut tidak terealisasi hingga tahun 2016. Selanjutnya undang-undang tersebut direalisasikan pada masa pemerintahan Presiden Donald J. Trump yang didukung oleh anggota Kongres ke-115 pada tahun 2017. Menggunakan kerangka teori politik luar negeri dan kepentingan nasional, artikel ini berargumen bahwa keputusan pemindahan Kedutaan Besar Amerika Serikat dari Tel Aviv ke Yerusalem disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor seperti pengaruh peran lobi Israel yang sangat mempengaruhi arah kebijakan luar negeri AS khususnya terkait Israel, karakteristik konservatif Partai Republik, kelompok Kristen Evangelis dan Zionis yang mendukung kepentingan Israel, dan hubungan bilateral khusus antara Israel dan Amerika Serikat.   Abstract: This article is aimed at analyzing the national interests and foreign policy of the United States under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump regarding the relocation of the United States Embassy in Israel from Tel-Aviv to Jerusalem on December 6, 2017. The relocation of the United States Embassy had been stipulated in the Jerusalem Embassy Act approved by the 104th United States congress in 1995 during the administration of President Bill Clinton. However, for several decades the implementation of the law was not realized until 2016. Furthermore, the law was realized during the administration of President Donald J. Trump who was supported by members of the 115th Congress in 2017. Using the theoretical framework of foreign policy and national interest, this article argues that the decision to relocate the United States Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem was due to some factors such as the influential role of the Israeli lobby, which greatly influences the direction of US foreign policy especially with regard to Israel, the conservative characteristics of the Republic Party, the Evangelical and Zionist Christian groups, which support Israeli’s interests, and the special bilateral relations between Israel and the United States.

Abstract

The North Korea's nuclear program has threatened the security of the Korean Peninsula. Every year, North Korea launches various types of missile tests, which raises the international community's concern. As a country responsible for maintaining security on the Korean Peninsula, South Korea has made various efforts to stop North Korea's nuclear development. Foreign policy issued by South Korea is constantly re-orientated according to the identity and perspective of the South Korean president at a particular time. This article analyzes President Moon Jae In's idiosyncrasy factors informing the new Sunshine policy to resolve North Korea's nuclear threats. This study aims to prove that the idiosyncratic factor has a significant influence on the decision-making process and the formation of the South Korea’s foreign policy. It shows that President Moon Jae In is a conciliatory leader who has an active-independent leadership characteristic based on the current dynamic North and South Korea’s nuclear tensions.

Abstract

This study examines Finland’s decision to join NATO in 2022 through the lens of Neoclassical Realism, analyzing the interplay between systemic threats and domestic political factors. Employing qualitative methods, including literature review and expert interviews, the research investigates how shifts in regional power dynamics, fueled by NATO’s eastward expansion and Russia’s military actions, created systemic pressures. Concurrently, domestic media framing, public opinion, and elite debates mediated these external influences, shaping Finland’s foreign policy response. Findings reveal that the convergence of systemic security threats and domestic political dynamics prompted a strategic pivot, illustrating the significance of domestic actors and perceptions in small state foreign policy under conditions of systemic threat. This research advances understanding of alliance formation by integrating systemic and domestic-level analyses, contributing valuable insights into regional security and NATO’s evolving role in Europe.

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between the first term of the Trump administration (2017–2021) and the United States Intelligence Community (USIC), with particular attention to intelligence politicisation, bureaucratic politics, and the deployment of the “deep state” narrative. The authors argue that these dynamics are changing patterns of democratic governance and impacting the national resilience of the United States in the realms of politics, government, and security. Study Design/Methodology/Approach: This study adopted a qualitative approach to analyze the implementation of inter-institutional competition, while a national resilience framework based on the Asta Gatra framework was used to assess the interaction between political authority, administrative integrity, and security governance. Findings: Persistent distrust, populist rhetoric, and political intervention characterise the relations between President Trump and the Intelligence Community. These dynamics weakened analytical independence, institutional coordination, and transparency, thereby disrupting the balance between political and administrative resilience and constraining the state’s adaptive capacity in managing national security under political turbulence. Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by integrating bureaucratic politics and national resilience perspectives to reinterpret the Trump-Intelligence Community conflict as a test of institutional resilience, rather than a conspiracy phenomenon.
