Abstract

The democratization of information through digital platforms has radically changed the system of information production and dissemination. Information that was once the product of a small group of people turned into a product produced by the masses. Anyone can make and disseminate information. This condition is a positive indicator for democracy. However, this phenomenon creates space for the emergence of complex challenges. The democratization of information that is close to liberalization has an impact in the form of a mixture of facts and opinions, between truth and hoaxes. Without adequate critical thinking skills, one will only become the object of the democratization of information. In response to these conditions, this study aims to equip new students within the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences UPNVJ with critical thinking skills that include theoretical to practical aspects. The training method uses an interactive material delivery model, case studies, and group discussions. The results of the training showed a significant increase in understanding, application skills, and awareness of the importance of critical thinking in assessing information and solving social issues. This activity is expected to be the first step of intervention and mentoring for new students who are starting to enter the academic world and are open to the process of digitizing information.

Abstract

The dynamics of the rivalry between China and the United States have significantly affected many countries, with both seeking to align other states with them. Both the United States and China seek to increase their influence amid geopolitical competition, including military cooperation with Indonesia. Following the question of how these two relationships have developed over time, we present a quantitative analysis of the evolution, trend, and variations of international military cooperation with both China and the United States. With that in mind, this study developed an original index, the International Military Cooperation Intensity (IMCI) Index, to measure military cooperation between Indonesia and the two countries from 1995 to 2014 in the areas of arms transfers and bilateral joint military exercises. The findings from the IMCI Index show that while Indonesia has increasingly strengthened its military cooperation with the United States, it has simultaneously strengthened its relationship with China. While our findings confirm the assumption that the United States remains Indonesia’s stronger partner, they also show Indonesia’s increasing military cooperation with China during this period. This result, using these two quantitative indicators, increases our understanding of Indonesia's evolving military cooperation with both countries during this period. In addition, the methodological approach used in this study demonstrated the usefulness of constructing an index to show trends, evolution, and variation in examining international relations events such as international military cooperation.
