Abstract

This article aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the maritime patrol regime (Indomalphi regime) in reducing piracy cases of the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) in the Sulu Sea and Sulawesi Sea involving Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines. Referring to the concept of regime effectiveness, it was found that the Indomalphi regime was proven effective in reducing the number of maritime cases in the Sulu and Sulawesi seas. The effectiveness of the regime is formed by a combination of four positive factors: (1) the regime is not classified as benign, indicating no inconsistencies, asymmetries, and cumulative splits in the formation of the Indomalphi regime; (2) the regime has a good problem-solving capacity because of epistemic community support that tightly integrated into the regime; (3) level of collaboration between the regime members is high, indicated by member’s compliance to the standard operating procedure (SOP) of the Indomalphi’s patrols even though there is no sanctions mechanism; (4) the regime facing a political context which provides an advantage with indicated by smooth cooperation during the process of Indomalphi cooperation even the three countries have sovereign sentiments and maritime territorial conflicts.KEYWORDSAbu Sayyaf Group; Indomalphi; Maritime Piracy; Regime Effectiveness; Sulu-Sulawesi Sea

Abstract

The research aims to examine the role and contribution of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) in building sustainable infrastructure in the Mandalika Special Economic Zone (Mandalika SEZ) to meet sustainable development goals in Central Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara. It uses a qualitative approach with an analytical descriptive method. The research process was carried out through several stages, namely data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Data collection was obtained through interviews and a literature study. Meanwhile, data reduction was conducted by reviewing the data collected to be selected in accordance with the research topic. Furthermore, the data presentation was performed in a narrative form. Finally, conclusion drawing was carried out according to elaboration of the concepts of multilateral development banks (MDBs), sustainable infrastructure, and sustainable development goals (SDGs). Based on the research results, AIIB has a key role in sustainable infrastructure development in Mandalika SEZ in terms of financing infrastructure development, providing technical assistance, and enhancing the management capacity of infrastructure development. Through its roles, AIIB contributes to achievement of a sustainable infrastructure development in the Mandalika SEZ. The achievement of a sustainable infrastructure development is influenced by a number of factors, namely effective public participation and consultation; alignment of project objectives with stakeholder needs; transparency and responsible decision-making mechanisms; adequate compensation and resettlement policies; green technology innovation; and government support, green incentive policies, and training programs. AIIB’s role in a sustainable infrastructure development has an impact on achieving the goals of the SDGs development pillars including social development pillar, environmental development pillar, economic development pillar, and law and governance development pillar.

Abstract

Multilateral development banks increasingly finance renewable energy through Public-Private Partnerships embedding gender conditionalities, yet whether these substantively transform gendered production relations, rather than legitimizing green capital accumulation, remains underexamined in Indonesia. This article asks why the Asian Development Bank continues producing shallow field-level compliance. Using a single-case qualitative design, the study examines the Eastern Indonesia Renewable Energy Project Phase 2 across three Vena Energy solar sites in West Nusa Tenggara, drawing on interviews with six institutional actors and policy documents, analyzed via critical discourse analysis and structural political-economy mapping. Findings show control over productive assets remains concentrated within the multinational corporation, while women's participation is confined to corporate-dependent micro-enterprises lacking ownership or decision-making authority, moderated by existing land-tenure structures. These results substantiate green patriarchy as a novel analytical category, showing how gender conditionality functions as a Social License to Operate legitimizing accumulation without redistributing power, calling for outcome-based gender accountability.

Abstract

This article examines how global industrial capital interacts with decentralization to produce uneven territorial development in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Bridging international political economy with new economic geography, enclave-economy theory, critical geography, human-capital analysis, and fiscal federalism, it asks why growth poles fail to diffuse prosperity across peripheral regions. The study uses a critical-interpretive qualitative case design based on eighteen semi-structured interviews, two focus groups, official statistics, and Klassen Typology and Williamson Index analysis for 2013–2025. Findings show that mining-led growth in West Sumbawa generates macroeconomic volatility and weak local linkages, while the Mandalika Special Economic Zone combines investment with labor segmentation, economic leakage, and agrarian tensions. Eastern agrarian districts remain vulnerable, and transfer-dependent decentralization does not adequately correct these disparities. The article argues that global capital agglomeration, when mediated by unequal local capabilities and weak redistributive institutions, turns decentralization into a mechanism of spatial polarization rather than territorial convergence.
