Abstract

This research aims to analyze the influence of financial inclusion policies, network features and sustainable development strategies on the performance and market competitiveness of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia. The research was conducted using a quantitative approach involving 325 MSMEs from various industrial sectors. The analytical method used is Partial Least Squares (PLS) in Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to test the correlation between variables. The research results show that there is a significant positive correlation between market competitiveness, financial inclusion, network features, sustainable development practices and the performance of MSME companies. The conclusion is that sustainable development practices, involvement in business networks, and access to financial services have a significant positive impact on market competitiveness and performance of MSME companies. The implication of these findings is the importance of integrating sustainability programs, encouraging business collaboration, and expanding financial inclusion to support sustainable growth and competitiveness of MSMEs in Indonesia.

Abstract

This paper presents a critical literature review on Indonesia’s rice surplus diplomacy within the framework of South–South Cooperation (SSC). Drawing from nine key studies, the literature review identifies three thematic clusters: food diplomacy in the Global South, critics of SSC solidarity discourse, and Indonesia’s rice surplus as an instrument of foreign policy. While SSC emphasizes equality and mutual benefit, emerging literature reveals tensions between rhetorical commitments to solidarity and the strategic, state-centric practices of donor countries. Indonesia’s case exemplifies how rice surplus has evolved from a symbol of domestic achievement to a soft power instrument, used to assert regional leadership amid global food crises. However, this transformation also exposes gaps in regional governance and risks reinforcing power asymmetries under the guise of humanitarianism. The review calls for a rethinking of SSC and food-based diplomacy, advocating for inclusive mechanisms that balance national interests with collective resilience.
