Abstract

The election of the new Indonesian Government heralds a new direction in higher education in Indonesia. Higher education is critical to Indonesia amidst significant global and national challenges, including globalisation, the uptake of advancing technologies, and climate change. This paper examines the potential role and leadership of Satryo Soemantri Brodjonegoro, the newly appointed Indonesian Minister for Higher Education, Science and Technology, can play in strengthening Indonesia’s resilience. As a prominent figure in academia and the education bureaucracy, Brodjonegoro’s work has significantly influenced the direction of Indonesia’s human capital development landscape. This review synthesises his academic publications, policy initiatives and strategic vision, which reveals a focus on driving innovation, enhancing research capacity, and promoting interdisciplinary collaboration within Indonesia's further education system. Central to Brodjonegoro’s thinking is that human capital is a catalyst for national development, and he is focused on preparing Indonesia for the demands of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. This paper also contextualises his work within global trends in Higher Education reform, exploring how his leadership aligns with international best practices and contributes to the broader discourse on education and technological advancement in developing economies. By critically analysing Brodjonegoro’s body of work and its practical implications, this review attempts to provide insights into his potential long-term impact on Indonesia's educational reform and it’s positioning as a knowledge-driven economy.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has had large-scale global effects across all segments of society, affecting large and diverse population cohorts in many ways. COVID-19 is not just a global health emergency but also a health-driven socioeconomic disaster. The prevalence of socioeconomic stressors that existed prior to the pandemic is exacerbated by the effects of the pandemic. The effects of COVID-19 vary across communities and are disproportionate on vulnerable groups. People with the least resources are most affected and are least able to recover. Contemporary thinking on development focuses on “bottom-up” approaches and “top-down” critique development. A key dimension of inclusiveness is about giving voice and power to excluded and vulnerable groups in development and recovery processes. Participation is a key ingredient in inclusive forms of development; it enables voice, representation, and capacity building to allow communities to address key societal challenges in line with their aspirations. This chapter argues that wide-scale community involvement is required for a sustainable recovery and resilience from COVID-19. It explores the benefits of participation in building long-term resilience and adaptive capacity. Participation is identified as a mechanism to enable ways to address power relations for vulnerable groups in COVID-19 recovery and curb the further deepening of global inequality.
