Abstract

This paper aims to explain the concept of caliphate in a theo­lo­gical and historical framework, while analyzing contemporary dis­course. The caliphate is a system of leadership based on the Qur'an and Sun­nah, with the example of the Rashidun Caliphates emphasizing justice, wisdom, and accountability. However, in an increasingly comp­lex world, the relevance of the caliphate remains a matter of debate. Historically, the caliphate underwent a transformation from a repre­sentative model in early Islam to a monarchy. Moreover, the end of the Ottoman Empire marked the end of the classical caliphate and sparked discussions about its relevance today. This study concludes that the caliphate functions as a Sharia-based Islamic system of government to achieve social justice. Its value remains relevant as a model of ethical leadership that emphasizes justice, trust, and wisdom. However, its implementation requires contextual and inclusive reinterpretation to suit the needs of a modern, pluralistic society. Ultimately, the idea of the caliphate can be an inspiration without ignoring contemporary realities.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dan mengevaluasi implementasi perencanaan pembangunan partisipatif di Desa Mekarsari, Kecamatan Cikajang, Kabupaten Garut, khususnya dalam konteks perencanaan pembangunan infrastruktur. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi partisipatif, dan analisis dokumen terkait perencanaan pembangunan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Desa Mekarsari telah menerapkan perencanaan pembangunan partisipatif dengan melibatkan aktif partisipasi masyarakat dalam proses pengambilan keputusan terkait pembangunan infrastruktur desa. Langkah-langkah partisipatif seperti musyawarah desa, diskusi kelompok, dan kegiatan partisipatif lainnya telah menjadi bagian integral dari proses perencanaan. Namun, terdapat beberapa kendala seperti kurangnya pemahaman masyarakat akan pentingnya partisipasi, dan kendala teknis dalam pelaksanaan rencana pembangunan. Penelitian ini memberikan rekomendasi untuk meningkatkan efektivitas perencanaan pembangunan partisipatif di Desa Mekarsari. Rekomendasi tersebut meliputi upaya peningkatan pemahaman masyarakat tentang partisipasi dalam pembangunan, pelibatan lebih aktif dari pihak pemerintah desa, dan peningkatan koordinasi antarstakeholder terkait. Kesimpulannya, perencanaan pembangunan partisipatif di Desa Mekarsari memiliki potensi besar untuk meningkatkan kualitas pembangunan infrastruktur desa, namun diperlukan upaya lebih lanjut untuk mengatasi kendala-kendala yang ada.

Abstract

The dominance of algorithms in the social, economic, and political life of the 21st century has created unprecedented structural dependencies, with complex socio-political implications. This research aims to uncover the mechanisms of algorithmic tyranny in social governance, analyze the transformation of AI into a totalitarian tool, and formulate a democratic oversight framework based on cross-national empirical findings. The study uses a critical-realist paradigm with post-qualitative methods, combining reverse engineering of controversial AI systems with critical analysis of over 40 reputable journals and books, and 14 policy documents (2015–2025). A rhizomatic analysis approach is used to explore the multidimensional nature of algorithmic power beyond hierarchical structures. Validity was established through catalytic validity to ensure epistemological and social impact. The research findings reveal regulatory differences across countries: the European Union leads in transparency but hinders innovation, while the US dominates with risks of fragmentation and minimal accountability. China uses AI for social control, and Singapore adopts a pro-business hybrid model. Algorithmic tyranny emerges in recommendation systems that create filter bubbles while judicial algorithms exhibit racial bias. Additionally, there is a totalitarian threat in the use of AI for mass surveillance and political deepfakes, meeting the criteria for “totalitarianism 2.0”. This study concludes with a novelty emancipatory concept to challenge algorithmic tyranny, through the instruments of an ”Algorithm Constitutionalism” and a ”Right to Algorithmic Explanation”. The policy recommendations emphasize the need for a global alliance to balance innovation with the protection of human rights in the algorithmic realm.
