Abstract

The developmental state concept, which entails proactive government support for economic structural transformation, remains contentious today. Some scholars vigorously argue that government intervention in the economy was indispensable to the success of East Asian countries, whereas others are critical of the practice, arguing that it tends to neglect sustainability dimensions and contending that government intervention in the market is often unwarranted. In this study, the authors analyse how Indonesia’s nickel ‘downstreaming’ strategy represents a new developmental state model that considers the aforementioned discourse on the merit of industrial policy. The new model aligns the classical developmental state concept with the need to address pressing environmental and social concerns, which are widely recognized as being of paramount importance. Through an integrative literature review and secondary data analysis, the study reveals that Indonesia’s downstreaming strategy does exemplify a new developmental state model, as the government does not aim just to stimulate economic growth but also to contribute to the energy transition with EV battery manufacturing and to invigorate social inclusion by ameliorating inequality particularly in Eastern Indonesia. Nevertheless, the application of the new developmental state model through the downstreaming strategy uncovers some areas where improvement is necessary. The policy needs to be continuously refined so that its negative environmental and social externalities can be mitigated, and it can serve as a better example of a new developmental state model.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate how Jakarta Smart City is managed from a policy, actor and funding perspective. Jakarta, which is currently not the nation's capital, is trying to transform into a business center and global city through the Jakarta Smart City strengthening initiative to realize a smart city 4.0 ecosystem that accommodates synergy between residents and the city government. Jakarta Smart City governance is the key to achieving the ideals of smart city development that contributes to improving the quality of life of its residents. This study is an inductive study using an exploratory descriptive approach. Data collection methods are carried out by literature reflection, analysis of planning and regulatory documents, and in-depth interviews with city officials, practitioners, and academics. The findings show that the development of smart cities in Indonesia cannot be separated from two levels of policy, namely the central government policy level that supports the national smart city program including digital transformation, especially in terms of providing digital infrastructure, and the city government policy level which turns out to be more complex in managing the smart city ecosystem both within the city government and also towards public services. The relationship between actors in the smart city ecosystem is important in shaping the digital space of Jakarta Smart City. In terms of findings, the findings show the need to develop innovative schemes in financing the initiation of smart city projects.

Abstract

This study explores the integration of socio-cultural dimensions into Indonesia's maritime defense strategy, focusing on strengthening maritime identity and archipelagic community resilience. It aims to examine multifaceted aspects of maritime identity, identify traditional practices and resilience mechanisms, analyze preservation challenges, explore existing integration efforts, and develop a comprehensive socio-cultural framework for maritime defense. Employing a qualitative, exploratory approach with literature study as the primary data collection method, the research analyzes academic journals, books, and policy documents through thematic analysis and synthesis. Key findings reveal the multifaceted nature of Indonesia's maritime identity, encompassing historical, economic, social, and ecological dimensions. The study highlights the rich traditional ecological knowledge and resilience mechanisms of island communities, including sustainable resource management practices, adaptation strategies, and intergenerational knowledge transfer. Challenges such as urbanization, environmental degradation, cultural erosion, and socioeconomic inequality threaten the preservation of maritime identity and community resilience. The research also identifies existing initiatives successfully integrating socio-cultural elements into maritime strategies, such as community-based monitoring and participatory decision-making processes. The study concludes that Indonesia's maritime strength is intrinsically linked to its socio-cultural heritage and the resilience of its island communities. Integrating these elements into maritime defense strategies can enhance effectiveness, sustainability, and community engagement while preserving cultural identity. The proposed framework offers a holistic approach to maritime defense that harmonizes technological advancement with cultural preservation and community empowerment. This approach recognizes the symbiotic relationship between strategic planning, cultural heritage preservation, and sustainable development, paving the way for a more robust and culturally sensitive maritime defense strategy for Indonesia.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze what criteria and subcriteria are important to use in assessing prospective Construction Design Consultant in the procurement process using the ANP method. This research departs from the problem that the Toll Road Planning Division, which is responsible for technical and financial planning for the Trans Sumatra Toll Road project, is not spared from vendor performance problems, where in recent years several Construction Design Consultant have not managed to complete their work with the right quality and time. The results showed that the priority criteria for selecting the best construction design consultant are Quality of Service (23.31%), Relationship with Job Owner (22.36%), Company Certification (20.87%), Quality of Personnel (20.55%), and Company Reputation (12.91%). The subcriteria that has the highest weight is the Personality of personnel (14.90%) and the lowest is the Availability of software (0.75%). The sensitivity analysis of alternative priority weights shows that there is no change in the priority order of alternatives if the subcriteria weights are changed by amounts ranging from -50% to +40%.

Abstract

Purpose: A major impediment to the entry of domestic firms into these sectors is limited access to financing. This study seeks to analyze the constraints to financing access in Indonesia and to formulate policy recommendations to address them by employing an integrative literature review and comparative analysis of East Asian countries. Methodology/approach: This paper employs an integrative literature review and comparative analysis to explore potential policy solutions for mobilizing capital for Indonesia’s downstream industry. Findings: Findings indicate that Indonesia’s financial system, following substantial liberalization, now tends to favor projects with short-term returns over long-term downstream manufacturing projects that are critical for economic transformation. Practical implications:  Indonesia must direct its limited capital towards strategic downstream investments. The paper suggests three policy options: 1) providing direct preferential loans; 2) offering guarantees; and 3) injecting equity into targeted domestic firms. Originality/value:   The recommendations come with several caveats, including robust governance, specific conditionalities, and stringent evaluation to ensure that financial support targets the most competitive enterprises that can meet the government’s long-term development goals. This research found that while the government's proactive financing presents inherent risk, the greater peril lies in inaction, which could further consign Indonesia to the middle-income trap.

Abstract

The financing of terrorism in Indonesia, has become increasingly complex due to the involvement of various domestic terrorist organizations. These groups obtain funds through diverse sources such as direct donations, membership fees, self-funding, and the misuse of non-profit organizations (NPOs). This study aims to explore and analyze the potential and challenges of utilizing advanced technologies, particularly Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), in preventing terrorist financing in Indonesia. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach, utilizing secondary data from FATF reports and related literature. The findings indicate that AI and ML can significantly enhance the detection and investigation of suspicious financial activities, provide real-time transaction monitoring, and facilitate inter-agency collaboration. However, challenges such as data limitations, regulatory complexity, high implementation costs, and data security and privacy issues must be addressed to fully leverage these technologies. This study provides recommendations for developing a supportive regulatory framework, enhancing inter-agency cooperation, and investing in better data infrastructure to effectively utilize AI and ML in combating terrorist financing.

Abstract

Capacity utilization is important in manufacturing strategies, especially in make-to-order manufacturing strategies. It is used to measure the best production achievements. The parameters for achieving the best production can be measured by reaching the break-even point, namely the point at which the costs are equal to income. In 2022 the capacity utilization production of PT XYZ which is a precast concrete industrial corporation in Indonesia is 73.40% and under the break-even point. Achieving utilization above the break-even point is a competitive advantage for the corporation. This research was conducted to examine the company's current strategy to provide suggestions for formulating corporate management strategies according to Islamic economics with the analysis of capacity utilization production. Meanwhile, the research sample was conducted and analyzed from 2015 to 2026. The method used in this research is quantitative descriptive research, analysis using different statistical tests to analyze capacity utilization, and qualitative descriptive analysis methods to observe corporate strategy. The analysis found that the capacity utilization level in 2016 and 2017 and the prognosis for 2023 exceeded the break-even point. However, from 2024 to 2026, the results of the capacity utilization level will be below the break-even point. So, it is necessary to consider strategy formulation to avoid losses. Some of the suggestions for formulating corporate strategies result are diversification of business unit strategies into the construction sector, corporate synergy, partnerships with strategic partners, and market penetration according to Islamic economics.
