Abstract

Afghanistan has been demolished by more than three decades of the ongoing war since the war against the Soviet Union started in 1979. The Afghanistan-Pakistan region provides a geographically secure location and a space of opportunity for organized crime and terrorist groups. This paper aims at exploring the Taliban nexus with organized crime groups in Afghanistan and the region through Makarenko’s crime-terror continuum theory. The method of this study is qualitative through the descriptive-analytical approach. The growing connection between insurgents and organized crime poses essential challenges to the region. Each group has developed both criminal and terrorist elements while not relinquishing its original organizing principle. Afghanistan is a war-torn country and weak governance, terrorism, narcotics, illegal mining, poor border control, and widespread corruption provide the perfect opportunity for convergence of the Taliban with organized criminal and insurgent groups in the region. The Taliban and organized crime groups are involved in kidnapping for ransom, drug trade, extortion, and exploitation of natural resources. The finding indicates that, although the objectives of the insurgent and organized crime organizations differ widely, these enabling variables are also suitable for organized crime organizations. The primary objective of organized crime is to gain profit, and the objective of the insurgent is to contest the state power and promote political change through violence. The economic sources are the primary main reason why the two organizations converge.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the discourse surrounding the role of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in the public policy process in Indonesia. After the collapse of the New Order regime, the role of NGOs has become increasingly prominent in various stages of the policy process, from advocacy, formulation, implementation, to policy monitoring. However, the dominant discourse in Indonesia tends to reduce the political role of NGOs to only two main domains: community development and empowerment and humanitarian assistance. Using a post-structuralist approach and reflective document analysis, this study identifies distinctive characteristics in the discourse on the role of NGOs in Indonesia. Although the role of NGOs in the public policy process is very significant, their political dimensions are often not widely recognized, both by the general public and public policy academics in Indonesia. This condition actually opens up opportunities for NGOs to maneuver more flexibly in institutional and social spaces, influencing policy decisions while maintaining an image of neutrality in the wider political real.

Abstract

Advances in digital technology have driven the emergence of online transportation services as an alternative mode of transportation for the public. The aim of this study is to provide a solution to public dissatisfaction with the quality of public transportation, particularly in terms of safety and reliability. Students, as part of the university community, also widely utilize these services. This study analyzes user perceptions, safety perceptions, and perceptions related to Gender, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) regarding student satisfaction with online transportation services at Campus B, Airlangga University, Surabaya, Indonesia. This study used quantitative methods, analyzing primary data through binary logistic regression. The results indicate that payment systems, travel time, and the availability of disability-friendly services have a significant influence on user satisfaction. Ease of payment systems increases satisfaction because the transaction process is more practical. Short and timely travel times have also been shown to increase student satisfaction. This research contributes to the availability of disability-friendly services, as it has a positive impact by meeting the needs of people with disabilities more inclusively.

Abstract

The political instrumentalization of ethnicity is not a new issue and dates back to the time when the country’s name changed from Khorasan to Afghanistan. The ethnic divisions deepened during the presidencies of Hamid Karzai and Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai. This article delves into the intricate dynamics of ethnic divisions and their political instrumentalization in Afghanistan from 2001 to 2021. While a lot of research has examined Afghanistan’s ethnic landscape, limited attention has been paid to how post-2001 leaders mobilized ethnic identities to entrench political power. Focusing on Hamid Karzai and Ashraf Ghani’s administrations, both from the Pashtun ethnic group, this study draws on Weale and Diamond’s theories of ethnic favoritism, dominance, and undemocratic leadership. Using a qualitative approach through document analysis and literature review, this study found that both leaders leveraged their ethnic identity to consolidate power and influence policymaking. Pashtuns were systematically favored in key governmental appointments, often at the expense of other major ethnic groups such as Tajiks, Hazaras, and Uzbeks. This political exclusion has deepened interethnic mistrust and fragmented the national fabric. By highlighting the long-term consequences of ethnic favoritism, this study contributes to ongoing debates on identity politics and governance in post-conflict states.
