Abstract

Developing inter-island connectivity in Indonesia is crucial to support economic growth and equitable development, especially for isolated, frontier, and outermost (3T) areas. The Sea Toll program is one of the main policies implemented by the Joko Widodo’s administration to overcome logistical challenges and price disparities between regions. This study aims to analyze the benefits of the Sea Toll in improving inter-island connectivity and its impact on Indonesia's economic, social, and logistics distribution sectors. Using a descriptive qualitative analysis method based on literature studies and secondary data, this study evaluates the effectiveness of the Sea Toll in reducing logistics costs, increasing the affordability of goods in remote areas, and accelerating the distribution of goods and services. The results show that this program contributes to improving the efficiency of sea transportation and equitable economic development in various regions. However, it still faces challenges such as supporting infrastructure and policy sustainability. Therefore, optimizing the Sea Toll program through synergy between the government, private sector, and society is key to realizing a more effective and sustainable maritime transportation system in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study analyzes Zohran Mamdani's victory in the 2025 New York City mayoral election, a result widely regarded as a triumph for the city's pluralistic society given Mamdani's identity as a Muslim and a member of a minority group. Throughout the campaign, Mamdani faced sustained attacks from political opponents, both Republicans and fellow Democrats, who targeted his Muslim identity directly. This study employs a qualitative method, drawing on books and journal articles to examine the foundations of socialist thought, supplemented by international news coverage to trace Mamdani's campaign strategy. The findings show that Mamdani was elected as the 111th mayor of New York with 50.4% of the vote, far surpassing Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa. This outcome indicates strong public trust in a democratic socialist platform centered on prosperity, including reduced housing costs and lower prices for basic necessities. For non-Muslim voters, Mamdani's religious identity was not perceived as an obstacle to leadership; rather, identity politics was seen merely as a tactic used by opponents to influence the election. For Muslim voters, rising costs of living, transportation difficulties, and housing rents were understood as collective burdens rather than the responsibility of any single group—an outlook aligned with both democratic socialist principles and Islamic values. These findings suggest that Mamdani's faith bears no relation to any erosion of democratic values, contrary to claims made by his political rivals. Ultimately, Mamdani's victory demonstrates his capacity to position New York City as an inclusive city, particularly for its lower-middle-class population.
