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

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 negotiation strategies in political coalition formation during Indonesian elections using Game Theory analysis. The complexity of Indonesia's multi-party system often results in unstable coalition governments, highlighting the importance of understanding inter-party negotiation dynamics. The research aims to identify strategic patterns in political negotiations and optimize coalition formation strategies. The methodology includes analysis of historical election data, interviews with political figures, and application of Game Theory models such as Nash Equilibrium and coalition bargaining. The results demonstrate that the Game Theory approach can predict and explain party behavior in coalition formation with high accuracy. These findings provide new insights for optimizing political strategies in Indonesia and contribute to the development of coalition formation theory in multi-party systems.

Abstract

West Aceh Regency is a highly strategic agro-based region located in the western part of Aceh Province. This regency has abundant natural resources, particularly rice fields in the subdistricts of Kaway XVI, Woyla, Wayla Barat, Panteun Reu, Arongan, and Samatiga, which are the most extensive compared to other regions. The objective of this research is to realize the implementation of government policies and the Keujruen Blang customary institution in accordance with Qanun No. 10 of 2008 concerning the Aceh Customary Institution in order to achieve the SDGs Goal-I8 development targets. The organizational pattern within the traditional farmer institution is a coordination system in the management of rice fields from the planning stage, organization, evaluation, and monitoring, as well as the improvement of the socio-economic development of farmer groups in West Aceh Regency.The potential results of this research can be used as a reference or input and recommendation for the West Aceh Regency government in implementing a policy system for developing local wisdom resources in organizing adaptive and dynamic indigenous farmer institutions in a sustainable manner in West Aceh Regency. Based on the research results, there are four government resource strategies in planning agriculture based on local wisdom in the socio-cultural elements of agriculture. The legality of the Keujreun blang customary institution in agricultural governance can be empowered through the development of science and technology-based agriculture as well as increased involvement of customary institutions in decision-making for dynamic and adaptive strategic agricultural plans in village development.

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.
