Abstract

Paradox of the United States soft diplomacy through the American Indonesian Exchange Foundation (AMINEF) as a tool of cultural diplomacy amid increasingly restrictive immigration policies. While the U.S. promotes openness, multiculturalism, and international collaboration through programs such as Fulbright and the Community College Initiative, its stringent immigration policiesparticularly since the Trump era and beyond the pandemiccontradict the nations image as a defender of freedom and inclusivity. Using a qualitative, literature-based approach and critical discourse analysis, this research explores how soft diplomacy operates as a foreign policy strategy to sustain American cultural hegemony in Indonesia. The findings indicate that, despite restrictive immigration measures, AMINEF remains effective in fostering cultural diplomacy and enhancing the U.S. image in Indonesia. This paradox underscores Americas attempt to balance domestic priorities (security and nationalism) with global ambitions (cultural and political influence).

Abstract

This study is based on the rise of the gig economy in Indonesia, particularly in the online transportation sector, which offers work flexibility but often comes with economic vulnerability for its workers. Online drivers face income uncertainty and a lack of social security, threatening the welfare of their households. This study uses qualitative methods with a literature review and in-depth interviews to examine these issues. The theoretical framework combines the concepts of the precariat, digital political-economic analysis, and human security perspectives to understand the vulnerabilities experienced by workers. The results show that the flexible work system based on digital platforms creates economic uncertainty for online driver workers. This situation is characterized by fluctuating and unguaranteed income, a partnership status that is vulnerable to termination at any time, and very limited social protection. In conclusion, the pseudo-flexibility in this gig economy model creates precarious conditions that undermine the economic security of online drivers and negatively impact their families' welfare. Therefore, structural efforts are needed to improve protection and certainty for workers in Indonesia's gig economy ecosystem.

Abstract

Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat ini diselenggarakan untuk melatih kemampuan berpendapat dan berpikir kritis mahasiswa terhadap isu terkini dengan memberikan pemahaman yang lebih mendalam mengenai dinamika ekonomi dan kebijakan luar negeri Jepang serta implikasinya terhadap hubungan Jepang dan Indonesia. Melalui kegiatan Zadankai yang bertajuk “Taruhan Ketidakpastian: Ekonomi Jepang Era Takaichi”, kegiatan yang dilaksanakan di Universitas Pembangunan Nasional Veteran Jakarta. Kegiatan ini disajikan dalam bentuk talkshow dengan pendekatan edukatif dan interaktif. Selain sesi talkshow bersama narasumber, kegiatan ini juga dilengkapi dengan sesi tanya jawab dan diskusi kepada peserta sebagai wadah untuk menganalisis dinamika ekonomi dan kebijakan publik era Takaichi terhadap stabilitas regional dan ketahanan ekonomi Jepang dan implikasinya pada Indonesia; serta melatih critical thinking dengan diskusi kritis dan pertukaran gagasan yang konstruktif. Melalui kegiatan Zadankai, mahasiswa sebagai peserta kegiatan tidak hanya memiliki wawasan baru mengenai perkembangan geopolitik di kawasan Indo-Pasifik, tetapi juga memperkuat kemampuan menyampaikan pendapat dalam ruang diskusi dan critical thinking mereka terhadap isu yang sedang terjadi. Tentunya ini dapat menjadi bekal mahasiswa saat terjun dalam dunia profesional ketika mereka dihadapi sebuah fenomena ataupun masalah yang baru ditemui.

Abstract

The development of SpaceX's Starlink mega satellite constellation has created significant changes in modern space governance and challenged the effectiveness of the international legal framework, which still relies on the 1967 Outer Space Treaty. With thousands of satellites operating in low Earth orbit, Starlink contributes to orbital congestion, global access inequality, and the strategic dependence of countries on private communications infrastructure. This study analyzes how Starlink's expansion has direct implications for the fundamental principles of space law. First, the principle of non-appropriation is threatened by Starlink's de facto dominance of orbital slots and frequency spectrum, which has the potential to transform space from a global commons into an arena of corporate control. Second, the principle of peaceful use faces challenges due to Starlink's dual-use nature in military operations, as seen in Ukraine, blurring the line between civilian and military use and potentially making commercial satellites targets of conflict. Third, the principle of state responsibility becomes problematic when the launching state, in this case the United States, legally bears international responsibility for SpaceX's activities, while operational decisions that have geopolitical implications are in the hands of corporations. The findings of this study confirm the existence of a law lag between the development of satellite technology and the legal framework that regulates it, and demonstrate the urgency of establishing new legal instruments that are capable of regulating private mega-constellations in a clearer, fairer, and more sustainable manner. Thus, this descriptive study using normative legal methods analyzed qualitatively contributes to the discussion on space governance reform in an era dominated by non-state actors.
