Abstract

This research investigates how agricultural commodity trading companies formulate business strategies in response to pandemics and geopolitical conflicts. Using ADM (Archer Daniels Midland Company) as a case study, the study explores three key strategies: supply chain diversification, new market expansion, and risk mitigation. The research method involved analyzing ADM's annual reports and strategic actions during the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing geopolitical conflicts. The theoretical framework is based on the concept of economics of commodity trading firms (Pirrong, 2014, 2015) and strategic management. The findings reveal that ADM effectively diversified its supply chain by securing raw materials from multiple global sources and investing in joint ventures and strategic partnerships. The company expanded into new markets through acquisitions and collaborations, thus broadening its business portfolio beyond agricultural commodities. Additionally, ADM's enterprise risk management (ERM) program helped mitigate risks related to operational efficiency, cyber-attacks, and geopolitical disruptions. The study concludes that ADM's comprehensive strategies not only minimized the adverse effects of external shocks but also positioned the company for sustainable growth. These strategies can serve as benchmarks for other companies in the agricultural sector to enhance resilience and contribute to sustainable development goals.

Abstract

The issue of loss and damage has long been sidelined in global climate governance, despite its increasing urgency for climate-vulnerable countries. This study examines the political, moral, and cultural dimensions of climate justice that shaped the negotiation and institutionalization of the Loss and Damage Fund (LDF) under the UNFCCC framework. Politically, the fund reflects enduring power asymmetries between developed and developing countries; morally, it embodies contested claims of historical responsibility; and culturally, it signals a shift in global norms toward reparative justice and transnational solidarity. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach, the research draws on official UNFCCC documents, COP decisions, and academic literature to trace the institutional dynamics and strategic negotiations that enabled the fund’s creation. The findings show that Global South actors, despite internal asymmetries, strategically reframed loss and damage from a technical concern into a moral and political demand. Indonesia’s diplomatic role within the G77 coalition at COP27 illustrates how procedural resistance and discursive realignment contributed to political recognition of irreversible climate harm. This study addresses a gap in the literature by moving beyond normative appeals to examine the institutional mechanisms and strategic agency that transformed a marginalized agenda into formal policy. Its academic contribution lies in synthesizing historical institutionalism and Global South dependency theory, while connecting institutional change to broader shifts in values, norms, and global solidarity. The Loss and Damage Fund is not merely a financial instrument; it is a contested site of political struggle and symbolic transformation in the architecture of global climate governance.   Isu kerugian dan kerusakan telah lama terpinggirkan dalam tata kelola iklim global, meskipun urgensinya semakin meningkat bagi negara-negara yang rentan terhadap dampak iklim. Studi ini menelusuri dimensi politik, moral, dan kultural dari keadilan iklim yang membentuk proses negosiasi dan pelembagaan Dana Kerugian dan Kerusakan (Loss and Damage Fund/LDF) di bawah kerangka UNFCCC. Secara politik, LDF mencerminkan ketimpangan kekuasaan antara negara maju dan berkembang; secara moral, ia memuat klaim tanggung jawab historis yang diperdebatkan; dan secara kultural, ia menandai pergeseran norma global menuju keadilan reparatif dan solidaritas transnasional. Dengan pendekatan kualitatif-deskriptif, penelitian ini mengandalkan analisis dokumen resmi UNFCCC, keputusan COP, dan literatur akademik untuk menelusuri dinamika institusional dan strategi negosiasi yang memungkinkan pembentukan LDF. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa aktor-aktor Global South, meskipun memiliki asimetri internal. secara strategis mereformulasi isu kerugian dan kerusakan dari persoalan teknis menjadi tuntutan moral dan politik. Peran diplomatik Indonesia dalam koalisi G77 pada COP27 menjadi contoh bagaimana resistensi prosedural dan pergeseran wacana berhasil mendorong pengakuan politik atas kerugian iklim yang tidak dapat diadaptasi. Studi ini mengisi celah dalam literatur yang selama ini cenderung menekankan aspek normatif tanpa mengkaji mekanisme institusional dan strategi politik yang memungkinkan agenda terpinggirkan menjadi kebijakan global. Kontribusi akademik penelitian ini terletak pada sintesis teoritis antara institusionalisme historis dan teori ketergantungan Global South, serta analisis transformasi nilai dan solidaritas global. LDF bukan sekadar instrumen finansial, melainkan arena perjuangan politik dan simbol transisi kelembagaan dalam arsitektur tata kelola iklim dunia.

Abstract

This study examines the international political dynamics and power asymmetries that shaped the negotiation and institutionalization of the Loss and Damage Fund (LDF) under the UNFCCC framework. While loss and damage has historically been marginalized within global climate governance, its elevation at COP27 reflects a significant shift driven by contestation between developed and developing countries. The research integrates historical institutionalism and Global South dependency theory to analyze how institutional legacies, path-dependent mechanisms, and structural inequalities have influenced the design and operationalization of the LDF. Methodologically, this study employs a qualitative-explanatory, process-tracing approach to capture the evolution of negotiations and institutional outcomes. Data are drawn from systematic analysis of UNFCCC negotiation texts, official COP decisions, and policy reports. The findings demonstrate that early institutional design choices shaped by the normative and financial dominance of developed countries generated path-dependent constraints that limited the redistributive and justice-oriented potential of the LDF. However, Global South actors exercised strategic agency by reframing loss and damage as a moral and political issue grounded in historical responsibility, rather than a purely technical concern. Through coalition diplomacy, discursive contestation, and procedural resistance, these actors were able to secure formal recognition of irreversible climate harm within the UNFCCC regime. This study advances climate justice scholarship by offering a theoretically integrated explanation of how structurally disadvantaged actors can reshape institutional outcomes within an unequal global governance system. The LDF thus emerges not merely as a financial mechanism, but as a contested site of institutional transformation, where future effectiveness will depend on governance arrangements, equitable access, and sustained political negotiation.

Abstract

Kekerasan dapat terjadi di berbagai Instansi Pendidikan, termasuk yang berbasis agama seperti Pesantren. Penguatan Keterampilan Komunikasi dan Resolusi Konflik bagi Pemuda untuk Pencegahan Kekerasan di lingkungan pesantren bertujuan untuk memberikan pemahaman mendasar bagi siswa untuk mampu merespons dan melakukan mitigasi konflik dengan baik. Selain itu, ekosistem belajar yang kondusif, humanis, dan inklusif diharapkan memberikan dampak positif bagi perkembangan akademik dan non akademik siswa. Program ini menggunakan metode Focus Group Discussion (FGD) dan role play untuk memberikan pengetahuan prinsip dasar komunikasi dan resolusi konflik kepada siswa. Materi pelatihan terbagi menjadi dua agenda utama yaitu praktek komunikasi non verbal dan mendengarkan aktif (active listening). Pelaksanaan program melibatkan sinergi antar instansi pendidikan. Adapun evaluasi kegiatan memperlihatkan capaian yang melampaui target.Pelatihan ini mampu meningkatkan pengetahuan, keterampilan, dan sikap peserta dalam memahami serta menerapkan komunikasi nonverbal dan mendengarkan aktif sebagai strategi penyelesaian konflik yang konstruktif. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan rata-rata capaian kompetensi peserta sebesar 81,93 persen dan tingkat kepuasan peserta mencapai 84,67 persen, keduanya melebihi standar keberhasilan Program.  Kegiatan ini diharapkan dapat terus dikembangkan dengan lebih inklusif, melalui sinergi antar Fakultas di lingkungan Universitas Sriwijaya. Sehingga dampak yang diciptakan juga lebih luas, baik dalam aspek edukasi dan sosial. Dalam hal ini, Siswa merasakan adanya peningkatan pengetahuan terkait pentingnya penguasaan atas teknik komunikasi dan implementasinya pada kehidupan sehari-hari. Selain itu siswa juga menilai rangkaian kegiatan bermanfaat bagi pengembangan karakter
