Abstract

The Aceh conflict, one of the longest separatist struggles in Indonesia, lasted for nearly three decades and caused severe social, political, and economic consequences. The turning point occurred after the 2004 tsunami, which opened the door for peace negotiations between the Government of Indonesia and the Free Aceh Movement (GAM). This study aims to analyze the political transformation of GAM following the signing of the 2005 Helsinki Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), focusing on the dynamics of demobilization, reintegration, and democratization in Aceh. Using a historical approach and library research, data were collected from primary sources such as official documents and archival records, as well as secondary sources including books, journals, and reports. The findings show that the MoU Helsinki not only ended armed conflict but also initiated significant political transformation by allowing the establishment of local political parties and expanding Aceh’s autonomy. However, challenges persist in reintegration programs, governance of special autonomy funds, and center local relations. While GAM successfully transitioned from armed resistance to formal politics, issues of social justice, economic inequality, and elite dominance continue to hinder sustainable peace. This study highlights that Aceh’s experience offers important lessons for conflict transformation and peacebuilding in post-conflict societies.

Abstract

This study aims to explain the resource mobilization strategies used by the Indonesian Tauhid Tasawuf Study Council (MPTT-I) in spreading Sufism teachings in South Aceh and its ability to survive amidst resistance from mainstream religious authorities. The study employed a descriptive qualitative method, collecting data through in-depth interviews, observations of da'wah activities, and documentation studies. Data analysis was conducted through interactive data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing techniques, and validity was strengthened by triangulation of sources and methods. The results indicate that the successful development of MPTT-I is supported by the utilization of material resources such as da'wah facilities and voluntary support from the congregation, as well as human resources through cadre structures and charismatic leadership. Furthermore, symbolic capital and social networks, including the use of digital media, play a significant role in strengthening the movement's legitimacy and expanding its support base. MPTT-I is also responsive to criticism and competition from religious authorities at the local level. In conclusion, MPTT-I is able to combine traditional da'wah practices with modern organizational strategies, thus maintaining its existence and development within the socio-religious dynamics of South Aceh. These findings emphasize the importance of resource mobilization for the sustainability of socio-religious movements in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study examines social conflicts arising from the poverty alleviation program through the provision of livable housing assistance for fishermen families in East Simeulue District, Simeulue Regency. The research aims to identify the sources of social conflict among fishermen receiving and not receiving housing assistance and to analyze the mechanisms used to resolve these conflicts. Grounded in Ralf Dahrendorf’s conflict theory, this study employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving fishermen, community leaders, and local government representatives. The findings reveal that social conflicts emerged due to feelings of exclusion and unequal treatment experienced by fishermen who did not receive assistance, scarcity of resources, inadequate communication regarding program rules and eligibility criteria, and ineffective leadership characterized by unfair decision-making. Additionally, social jealousy and the presence of provocateurs within the fishing community intensified tensions. Conflict resolution was conducted through deliberative processes emphasizing communication facilitation between conflicting parties, primarily through arbitration and mediation as third-party interventions. Furthermore, local wisdom known as “salah manyamba” gawai mangisi” played a significant role in resolving disputes by involving respected community figures and prioritizing family-based deliberation. In conclusion, the study highlights the importance of transparent governance, effective communication, and the integration of local wisdom in minimizing social conflict and ensuring the equitable implementation of poverty alleviation programs in coastal communities.

Abstract

This study discusses the development of digital technology that has changed social structures and the way individuals construct their identities, particularly among Generation Z. This study aims to understand how Generation Z constructs and negotiates identity in the digital age using Anthony Giddens' theory of reflexive modernity as a framework for analysis. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach through a literature review focusing on concepts related to reflexivity, modernity, and digital identity. The results show that Generation Z's identity is fluid and constantly changing, shaped through daily reflective practices in the virtual world such as sharing content, interacting online, and building a self-image (self-branding). The negotiation between self-authenticity and digital social demands is evident in how Generation Z presents itself and manages public perceptions of its existence. Social media functions not only as a means of expression but also as a space for reflecting on personal values and forming self-meaning. The conclusion shows that the digital identity of Generation Z is the result of a dynamic and responsive reflective process to technological changes and the modern social environment.
