Abstract

Food is an excellent means of creating an image and spreading influence. This study aims to explore Taiwanese street food as nostalgia and gastrodiplomacy in contemporary Indonesian society. This study uses a qualitative method with data collection through in-depth interviews and a literature study. The results showed that: first, food nostalgia tries to connect the past and the present. The feeling expressed by the Taiwanese diaspora on food will greatly depend on their previous lived experiences and homeland memories in the past, both personally and historically, with their present living circumstances in Indonesia. Second, gastrodiplomacy connects the relationship between the present and the future. The popularity of Taiwanese food in Indonesia is increasing, especially through boba and chicken Shilin consumption. This has a positive impact on building Taiwan's image. From food nostalgia and gastro diplomacy, we can learn about the past, present, and future relationships between people and nations.

Abstract

Under Jokowi’s presidency, the BRI project was able to further strengthen the bilateral ties between Indonesia and China. This study aims to analyse and focus on: first, the pros and cons of Indonesia's interests in the BRI projects under Jokowi's presidency; second, the political leadership of Jokowi in managing and implementing BRI projects in Indonesia. This study used a qualitative approach to gather comprehensive data through a literature review. As an analytical tool for this research, the author used the political leadership theory by Kalevi Jaakko Holsti. The finding showed that, first, those who are pro-BRI will provide full support, supervision, and evaluation from year to year. Meanwhile, there are several cons to the BRI project due to fear of the debt trap, the influx of Chinese workers, the environmental damage, the overlapping maritime claims, anti-communist sentiment, and the image of Chinese products. The negative sentiment towards the BRI project can be eased with a soft-infrastructure approach that touches community (people-to-people) bonds. Second, regarding Jokowi's eight-year leadership, Jokowi's type of political leadership is more directed as a conciliator, especially in the China BRI project. It is based on Jokowi's record of making China a good partner and big brother.

Abstract

When the government is constrained regarding human and financial resources, a public-private partnership (PPP) is often considered the most effective method of providing infrastructure. As a result, the government can work with the private sector to promote the successful implementation of infrastructure projects. This study examined how the public and private sectors worked together to build the Mandalika Circuit. In addition, this investigation utilized a descriptive method combined with a qualitative approach, as well as literature, online news, and interviews as data. NVivo 12 Plus was employed to analyze the data. The results unveiled the implementation of development programs through regulations, such as Presidential Regulation (Perpres) No. 38 of 2015, Minister of Finance Regulation (Permenkeu) No. 260/PMK.08/2016, Minister of Home Affairs Regulation (Permendagri) No. 96 of 2016, and Governor Decree of West Nusa Tenggara No. 050.13-326 of 2022. Second, the readiness of the PPPs to construct the Mandalika Circuit was considered successful in terms of institutional coordination, which ran well between the regional government, central government, and the private sector. Players could boost productivity and adaptability. Moreover, the presence of non-governmental parties was based on a need for more human and financial resources to manage public services in the government sector strategically.

Abstract

The repatriation of Indonesian Migrant Workers (IMWs) does not merely generate economic challenges but also produces new socio-cultural dynamics of livelihood survival. One emerging strategy is to use culinary experiences acquired in Taiwan as the foundation for micro-enterprises in rural Java. Nevertheless, former IMWs are required to undertake adaptation and modification processes to construct a halal image for Taiwanese cuisine. In this context, halal Taiwanese cuisine functions not only as an economic commodity but also as an instrument of gastrodiplomacy that negotiates identity, market preferences, and socio-religious legitimacy at the local level. This study employs a qualitative case study design in Banyuwangi, a region recognized as a concentration area for former IMWs. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation related to halal Taiwanese culinary activities operated by former IMWs. The findings reveal that: first, the success of halal Taiwanese culinary enterprises in Banyuwangi is strongly determined by their capacity to adapt to local tastes and community needs; second, these enterprises contribute to the strengthening of five livelihood capitals of former IMWs, namely human, social, financial, physical, and natural capital; and third, gastrodiplomacy operates as an intangible livelihood asset that transforms migration experience into social legitimacy and economic sustainability for former IMWs.
