Abstract

This study explores the intersection between media discourse and policy inaction concerning femicide in Indonesia. Despite increasing cases of lethal violence against women, the term "femicide" remains absent mainly in state narratives and legal frameworks. The objective of this research is to examine how Indonesian online news media frame femicide cases and to analyze why these narratives fail to influence policy responses. Methodologically, the study employs a qualitative approach using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Multiple Streams Framework (MSF). A purposive sample of 20 news articles from major Indonesian news outlets  and reports from women's rights organization was analyzed. CDA was used to identify dominant discursive patterns, actor representation, and silencing strategies, while MSF was applied to understand why femicide has not been translated into public policy. The findings reveal that media coverage tends to individualize cases, focusing on sensational elements and moral panic rather than systemic gender-based violence. Government officials are rarely cited, and policy solutions are virtually absent from the discourse. The analysis also shows that although the problem stream (public awareness) is present, the policy stream (available solutions) and political stream (elite will) remain disconnected, hindering agenda-setting. The study concludes that a formal policy response does not reflect institutional inertia and a more profound gendered political silence. It recommends integrating gender-sensitive terminology in official discourse, enhancing collaboration with civil society, and institutionalizing femicide as a category in national crime data and law.

Abstract

This study examines the persistent gap between centrally mandated sustainability policies and their implementation in smallholder oil palm plantations in Indonesia, with a focus on the role of regional bureaucracies. It aims to analyze how local bureaucratic actors bridge the disconnect between policy design and on-the-ground realities, particularly in the context of Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) standards and related programs. Grounded in the Street-Level Bureaucracy framework, this research adopts a qualitative case study approach in West Aceh Regency. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with smallholder farmers, field officers, and government officials, supported by participant observation and document analysis, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that field-level bureaucrats function as active policy actors who interpret, adapt, and operationalize central regulations through discretionary practices, improvisation, and context-sensitive strategies. These adaptive mechanisms—such as simplifying procedures, prioritizing services, and engaging in social negotiation—are crucial in aligning formal policy requirements with local socio-economic conditions. However, implementation is significantly constrained by structural limitations, including inadequate human resources, limited infrastructure, insufficient funding, and socio-political pressures such as elite intervention and high central performance targets. The study concludes that the effectiveness of smallholder oil palm governance is highly dependent on the adaptive capacity of regional bureaucracies. Strengthening institutional flexibility, bureaucratic capacity, and multi-level coordination is essential to enhance policy outcomes. This research contributes to the literature by demonstrating how bureaucratic discretion, structural constraints, and local political dynamics interact in shaping policy implementation, offering both theoretical and practical insights for more inclusive and sustainable agricultural governance.

Abstract

This article examines the financial management of the government of Aceh, which is supported by special autonomy funds. It is a war compensation and recovery from the tsunami disaster following the signing of a peace accord between the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) and the Government of Indonesia for development to increase the Acehnese people's well-being, disbursed by the central government. But the governance of the special autonomy fund it runs has not been able to help Aceh get out of poverty according to national standards. The article employed a descriptive qualitative approach, then purposive sampling used by the authors as the technique to identify people to interview about Aceh's poverty and special autonomy fund issues. Open publications, whether they be official government documents such as rules or decisions, newspapers or magazines, or scientific references such as books or journals were secondary data used by authors. The findings revealed that the management of the special autonomy fund lacks a mature grand design, such that the management rules change annually and are also influenced by the tug-of-war between the Aceh government and the region/city governments. Then, the principle of accountability was not properly implemented, so these two findings were unable to affect the substance of the poverty sector in Aceh, causing Aceh's poverty to consistently fall below the national average.Artikel ini mengkaji masalah pengelolaan keuangan pemerintah Aceh yang ditopang oleh dana otonomi khusus. Dana Otonomi Khusus ini merupakan untuk pemulihan dari bencana tsunami dan kompensasi perang setelah penandatanganan kesepakatan damai antara Gerakan Aceh Merdeka (GAM) dan Pemerintah Indonesia yang bertujuan untuk pembangunan peningkatan kesejahteraan rakyat Aceh, yang dikucurkan oleh pemerintah pusat. Namun tata kelola dana otsus yang dijalankannya belum mampu membantu Aceh keluar dari zona kemiskinan sesuai standar nasional. Artikel ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif, kemudian purposive sampling digunakan oleh penulis sebagai teknik untuk mengidentifikasi orang-orang yang akan diwawancarai tentang masalah kemiskinan dan dana otonomi khusus Aceh. Publikasi terbuka, baik berupa dokumen resmi pemerintah seperti peraturan atau keputusan, surat kabar atau majalah, atau referensi ilmiah seperti buku atau jurnal merupakan data sekunder yang digunakan oleh penulis. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa pengelolaan dana otsus tidak memiliki grand design yang matang, sehingga aturan pengelolaannya berubah setiap tahun dan juga dipengaruhi oleh tarik ulur antara pemerintah Aceh dengan pemerintah daerah/kota. Kemudian, prinsip akuntabilitas tidak diterapkan dengan baik, sehingga tidak mampu mempengaruhi permasalahan  substantif sektor kemiskinan di Aceh dan menyebabkan kemiskinan Aceh secara konsisten berada di bawah rata-rata nasional.

Abstract

The increasing tourism activity raises concerns about environmental impacts and sustainability. Sustainable ecotourism must utilize natural and cultural attractions to create tourism experiences that generate economic benefits and prioritize environmental conservation and social welfare. The Bener Meriah Regency Government of Aceh has implemented policies to encourage eco-villagebased tourism. This study uses a qualitative research method with a phenomenological approach. Data collection was carried out through observation, direct interviews, and document studies. The results of the study indicate that Damaran Baru Village in Bener Meriah Regency is an example of the success of an environmentally based eco-village. In addition, the government also plays an important role in encouraging sustainable tourism practices that are beneficial to the environment and community welfare. The gap in this research lies in the lack of in-depth exploration of the implementation of eco-villages, especially in Damaran Baru Village, Bener Meriah Regency, Aceh. Although there have been many studies discussing sustainable tourism, only a few highlight the active role of the government in encouraging the development of eco-villagebased tourism. The novelty of this study lies in the presentation of a concrete case study of the success of an eco-village in Damaran Baru Village that combines environmental conservation with local economic development. So, economic growth can go hand in hand through the development of eco-villages. Recommendations for the development of Damaran Baru eco-village are improving tourism infrastructure, providing ongoing training to the community, diversifying sources of income, and collaborating with external parties.Meningkatnya aktivitas pariwisata menimbulkan kekhawatiran terhadap dampak lingkungan dan keberlanjutan. Ekowisata berkelanjutan harus memanfaatkan daya tarik alam dan budaya untuk menciptakan pengalaman wisata yang menghasilkan manfaat ekonomi dan mengedepankan pelestarian lingkungan dan kesejahteraan sosial. Pemerintah Kabupaten Bener Meriah Aceh telah menerapkan kebijakan untuk mendorong pariwisata berbasis eco-village. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan fenomenologis. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi, wawancara langsung, dan studi dokumen. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Desa Damaran Baru di Kabupaten Bener Meriah merupakan contoh keberhasilan eco-village berbasis lingkungan. Selain itu, pemerintah juga berperan penting dalam mendorong praktik pariwisata berkelanjutan yang bermanfaat bagi lingkungan dan kesejahteraan masyarakat. Kesenjangan penelitian ini terletak pada kurangnya eksplorasi mendalam terhadap implementasi eco-village, khususnya di Desa Damaran Baru, Kabupaten Bener Meriah, Aceh. Meskipun sudah banyak penelitian yang membahas tentang pariwisata berkelanjutan, hanya sedikit yang menyoroti peran aktif pemerintah dalam mendorong pengembangan pariwisata berbasis eco-village. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada penyajian studi kasus konkret tentang keberhasilan eco-village di Desa Damaran Baru yang memadukan pelestarian lingkungan dengan pengembangan ekonomi lokal. Jadi, pertumbuhan ekonomi bisa berjalan beriringan melalui pengembangan eco-village. Rekomendasi pengembangan eco-village Damaran Baru adalah perbaikan infrastruktur pariwisata, pemberian pelatihan berkelanjutan kepada masyarakat, diversifikasi sumber pendapatan, dan kerjasama dengan pihak eksternal.

Abstract

This article examines the Food Estate project in Indonesia by addressing how state food policy functions as a technical intervention and a power mechanism shaping how farmers think and act. The study aims to understand how the state produces and normalizes specific forms of knowledge through policy mechanisms and development discourse. The author argues that Food Estate operates as a project of governmentality, constructing farmer subjectivity aligned with state logic while simultaneously establishing a regime of truth that marginalizes local agrarian practices. Using critical discourse analysis within Michel Foucault’s theoretical framework particularly the concepts of genealogy, governmentality, and the regime of truth this research traces how narratives of crisis, modernization, and efficiency are legitimized through technocratic apparatuses and networks of power. The findings reveal that state power operates through instruments such as data, technology, subsidies, and regulation, subtly disciplining farmers to conform to national production standards. However, various forms of micro-resistance and counter-narratives have emerged from local communities, challenging the project’s legitimacy. The study concludes that the Food Estate is a non-neutral apparatus of power that must be structurally critiqued. The authors recommend recognizing the plurality of local knowledge, strengthening substantive community participation, and opening political and epistemic space for alternative narratives as part of agrarian democratization and sustainable food sovereignty.

Abstract

This study evaluates the role of the Women's Empowerment, Child Protection, and Family Planning Service in implementing the Child-Friendly Areas concept in West Aceh Regency, as mandated by the West Aceh Regent Regulation Number 40 of 2018. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation with six informants. Findings indicate that while the policy aspect has been implemented optimally, the strategy and communication roles have not been effective. Key obstacles include insufficient human resources, facilities, budget, and inter-organizational communication. Additionally, public awareness of the Child-Friendly District status remains low. Despite ongoing efforts, significant improvements are needed to achieve optimal implementation.

Abstract

Smallholder coffee systems require effective governance to balance rural livelihoods and environmental sustainability. This study examines how gender exclusion shapes governance effectiveness and sustainability outcomes in the Gayo Highlands, Indonesia. Using qualitative interviews and policy analysis, it explores how institutional arrangements influence land management, climate resilience, and value chain dynamics. The findings reveal that fragmented regulations, weak coordination, and limited participation of women in land ownership, cooperative leadership, and decision-making processes undermine governance effectiveness and agroecosystem resilience. These conditions encourage short-term land-use strategies, reduce investment in soil conservation and agroforestry, and increase vulnerability to climate change. Women’s participation remains largely symbolic, limiting the integration of local ecological knowledge into governance processes. The study concludes that gender exclusion constitutes a key structural barrier to sustainable coffee systems. Improving sustainability therefore requires strengthening institutional coordination, expanding women’s access to resources and leadership, and embedding gender-responsive mechanisms within governance structures. It further recommends adopting gender-inclusive polycentric governance to enhance accountability, support adaptive decision-making, and improve environmental outcomes in smallholder coffee systems.

Abstract

Background Mukim is a customary governance institution that holds a strategic position in Aceh’s local government system and functions as a guardian of local wisdom. However, in the context of contemporary village governance, its role has increasingly weakened. This study aims to examine the implementation of Mukim’s functions as a local wisdom institution and to analyze the structural constraints that limit its effectiveness in Teluk Dalam District, Simeulue Regency. Methods Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving Imum Mukim, village heads, customary leaders, religious figures, community representatives, and local government officials. Data were analyzed using data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing techniques. Results The findings reveal that Mukim’s functions, as mandated by Simeulue Regency Qanun No. 5 of 2010, have not been optimally implemented. Mukim tends to operate symbolically and ceremonially, while its substantive roles in customary governance, development coordination, religious guidance, dispute resolution, and natural resource oversight remain marginal. The dominance of village government following the Village Fund policy has repositioned Mukim from an intermediate institution to a peripheral actor with limited authority. Using Robert K. Merton’s structural-functional perspective, the study identifies an imbalance between manifest and latent functions, resulting in institutional dysfunction. Conclusions The study concludes that strengthening Mukim requires not only normative recognition but also operational and structural reconstruction through clearer authority, capacity building, and institutional integration within local governance frameworks to restore its relevance as a living institution of local wisdom.
