Abstract

This article examines how non-state actors orchestrate bottom-up localization of energy transition norms in Indonesia, using Nusa Penida as a case study. Drawing on Amitav Acharya's framework of norm localization, and applying qualitative secondary data analysis as research method, the study argues that bottom-up initiatives offer potential for effective norm adaptation by leveraging local modalities. The Nusa Penida Initiative (NPI), initiated by a network of non-state actors, demonstrates emerging success through cultural framing, systematic roadmap planning, and community-based financing. The findings underscore that effective localization depends critically on non-state agency, funding modality, and local adaptive capacity. The article concludes that centering local actors and leveraging endogenous modalities are essential for inclusive and sustainable energy transitions in peripheral regions.

Abstract

This article aims to explain and answer the research question: Why did the localization of the global norms of the 1951 Refugee Convention in Indonesia lead to the issuance of Presidential Regulation No. 125 of 2016? Indonesia has been a transit area for refugees since 1979 and is the third country in ASEAN with the highest number of refugees. However, Indonesia has never formally and officially adopted the 1951 Refugee Convention. To answer the research question, this study applies the concept of norm localization proposed by Acharya (2004) as the framework for the analysis. This concept explains that the localization process of global norms might lead to three possible outcomes: acceptance of the norms, adaptation and modification of the norms, or complete rejection of the norms. The adaptation of the global norms is the result of adjusting some elements of the norm that are considered more appropriate to the local situations. In this article, we argue that the consideration of humanitarian values, national interests, and domestic challenges are the three most significant domestic factors that influence the process of norm localization in Indonesia. This article discusses how the three factors influenced the process of policy/decision-making on how Indonesia should deal with its refugee issues. In conclusion, we mainly argue that Presidential Regulation No. 125 of 2016 is the result of a complex adaptation process of the UN 1951 Refugee Convention, which involved multidimensional issues, as well as a multi-actor that represents various interests.

Abstract

This research critically examines Riders of Destiny (2019), a German documentary film about the pacoa jara, a horse racing tradition in Sumbawa, Indonesia, focusing on its portrayal of child exploitation. The film highlights the risks to child jockeys, such as injury and interrupted education, framing the practice as a violation of children’s rights. However, it oversimplifies the issue by neglecting the tradition’s historical, cultural, and economic context. Using postcolonial theory to analyse the film’s content, concept, and context, this research explores how the documentary reflects German interests in shaping global perceptions of non-Western cultures. The film’s content, shaped by selective interviews and imagery, emphasises the negative aspects of the practice, while its concept frames the tradition as a moral failure in need of reform. The context is largely ignored, with the film overlooking pacoa jara’s cultural significance within local communities and its role in family economics and social identity. This research concludes that Riders of Destiny serves as a tool for promoting Western child protection ideologies, positioning Germany as a moral authority while marginalising local cultural perspectives. This research does not intend to support child exploitation but rather seeks to explore how the practice of child jockeying is culturally perceived by the local community, which cannot be understood in a singular, Westernised way. Therefore, this study contributes to the existing literature on postcolonial theory by uncovering how media perpetuates modern forms of cultural influence that sustain postcolonialism.

Abstract

This article analyzes the dynamics of conflicting norms regarding the portability of social security for migrant workers in ASEAN, particularly the political tensions between sending and receiving countries. In line with global norms, sending countries such as Indonesia and the Philippines promote portability as a fundamental right for migrant workers. Conversely, receiving countries such as Singapore and Malaysia are more cautious, viewing it as a labor issue, not a fundamental right. The research aims to analyze how these divergent interpretations shape ASEAN’s regional governance of migrant protection and to identify the underlying political and normative factors that influence the process of regionalization. Using Antje Wiener's theory of norm contestation, this study, through qualitative methods, demonstrates the gap between global expectations and normative practices in ASEAN. The findings reveal a persistent gap between global expectations and ASEAN’s normative practices. While ASEAN has made progress in formalizing cooperation, the implementation remains fragmented and state-driven, reflecting competing interests between economic pragmatism and human rights advocacy. In conclusion, the regionalization of social security is not simply a matter of applying international standards to a regional region, but rather a political negotiation shaped by competing state interests.
