Abstract

This research aims to contribute to the debate on structural violence by state, by explaining how pro-human rights policies ironically can be produced, implemented, and used by state as instruments to perpetrate human rights violations. By using the concept of structural violence, this research is offered that the Indian government has allowed the practice of female foeticide in India to continue to occur among India's poor women from 1994 to 2014 through the implementation of anti-sex-selective abortion (anti-SSA) policy: Pre-Course Pre-Natal Diagnostic Technique (PCPNDT) Act of 1994. This study attempts to investigate how the Indian government perpetuates structural violence by producing, implementing, and maintaining this provenly ineffective human rights policy by using qualitative method and secondary data. This paper finds that the neglect of intersectionality analysis in the design of the policy is a form of structural violence conducted by the Indian government. In this case Indian government has implemented segmentation and marginalization in order to allow the continuation of female foeticide among its poor women for the last three decades. Generally, the neglect of intersectionality analysis in the policy represents the government’s support towards the high preference of boys and extremely low preference of girls, especially poor girls and girls from the outcast. Although the anti-SSA policy has been in place since 1994, data on sex ratios at birth from 1982 to 2014 show that the gap between the births of girls and boys is becoming more and more imbalanced. Various researchers found that the policy was not effective in resolving the problem of sex ratios due to its poor implementation management that caused difficulties in arresting the perpetrators of SSA and regulating the practice up to the grassroots level. However, this paper argues that poor management is not the main cause the policy is failing. This research finds that the Indian government deliberately excludes & does not recognize the identity of poor & outcast women in the policy design. In fact, the practice of SSA is mostly carried out by women in these segments.

Abstract

This article analyzes the adoption of neoliberalism in Taiwan and its impact on financial, labor, and industrial policies. Taiwan adopted neoliberalism in the late 1970s, facing challenges in maintaining autonomy against global pressures and domestic business interests. The state-controlled market underwent a significant transformation because of the sacrifices made for various stakeholders. Taiwan's strong economic growth has been recognized globally, making it an example for other developing countries to implement neoliberal policies. This article focuses on the period after the 2008 global financial crisis, in which Taiwan implemented monetary and fiscal policies to stabilize the financial system and generate domestic demand. While supporting corporate financing and facilitating personal relationships with banks, the government aims to restore financial stability. The Taiwanese state has consistently pursued the values of neoliberalism while maintaining balance with societal-oriented policies. The government's approach to this problem has evolved, demonstrating efforts to overcome the side effects of neoliberal policies. Ultimately, Taiwan's economic development reflects the complex play of neoliberalism and its impact on various sectors in the country.

Abstract

The issue of water management in Indonesia’s specific urban contexts, specifically in Surabaya as an industrial hub and Bali as a tourist destination, is of paramount importance due to its impact on public health and environmental sustainability. This study analyses water management and conservation factors by comparing two distinct urban areas. The research design employs Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM), which involves a specialised approach for analysing the complex relationships between variables. The results of the analysis indicate that community attitudes in Surabaya, facilitated by infrastructure and technology, significantly predicts intention to perform (β=0.334, p<0.001) and water management satisfaction (β=0.409, p<0.001). In contrast, collaboration with the government enhances environmental constraints (β=0.285, p<0.003) and water management satisfaction (β=0.140, p<0.044). In Bali, where water management is based on traditional practices, community attitudes do not significantly affect water management satisfaction (β=0.095, p>0.431). Still, perceived norms reduce environmental constraints (β=-0.134, p<0.039) and enhance the intention to perform (β=0.189, p<0.037). The role of personal agency in Bali is more significant in reducing environmental constraints (β=-0.187, p<0.025) and increasing intention to perform (β=0.198, p<0.013). In contrast, in Surabaya, only personal agency was significant in increasing water management satisfaction (β=0.132, p<0.003). These findings suggest that Surabaya requires an integrative approach, while Bali must strengthen its locally based water management practices and enforce stricter regulations in the tourism sector to protect water resources.
