Abstract

This paper attempts to analyze the impact of Anti-Deforestation Laws, specifically the European Union Zero Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), on smallholder oil palm farmers in Indonesia through the lens of Axel Honneth’s recognition theory. This paper aims to understand how the policy creates structural injustice and ignores the realities of smallholder farmers’ lives. The method used is critical discourse analysis, which highlights how the language and ideology in this policy shape global perceptions of sustainability. The results show that the policies contained in the EUDR function as tools for environmental conservation and reproduce a global power hierarchy that benefits developed countries. Thus, the bargaining position of smallholder oil palm farmers in Indonesia is being worsened, social exclusion is being created, and a global power hierarchy is being reproduced. This paper concludes that the Indonesian Government can formulate inclusive and responsive policies to farmers’ needs. The policy recommendations include providing access to land legality, training programs, and dialogue between the Government and farmers so that the injustices generated by the EUDR can be minimized, creating a more equitable and sustainable agricultural system in Indonesia.

Abstract

Political and civic education plays a strategic role in fostering democratic awareness and encouraging youth participation in national affairs. However barriers such as inadequate political literacy, misinformation, and lack of interest restrict their participation. This study aims to examine the role of political education in enhancing youth participation in democracy. Using a community-based educational approach, the program implemented seminars, policy debates, and digital media training. The findings indicate that interactive learning methods, such as policy simulations and social media campaigns, effectively increase political awareness and critical thinking among students. Participants showed increased interest in political issues and a better understanding of their rights and responsibilities. The integration of digital platforms further facilitated engagement, making political education more accessible and relevant to youth. The study highlights the importance of revitalizing civic education through participatory methods and digital literacy to empower young voters in shaping a more inclusive and democratic society.

Abstract

This study examines the persistent gap between centrally mandated sustainability policies and their implementation in smallholder oil palm plantations in Indonesia, with a focus on the role of regional bureaucracies. It aims to analyze how local bureaucratic actors bridge the disconnect between policy design and on-the-ground realities, particularly in the context of Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) standards and related programs. Grounded in the Street-Level Bureaucracy framework, this research adopts a qualitative case study approach in West Aceh Regency. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with smallholder farmers, field officers, and government officials, supported by participant observation and document analysis, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that field-level bureaucrats function as active policy actors who interpret, adapt, and operationalize central regulations through discretionary practices, improvisation, and context-sensitive strategies. These adaptive mechanisms—such as simplifying procedures, prioritizing services, and engaging in social negotiation—are crucial in aligning formal policy requirements with local socio-economic conditions. However, implementation is significantly constrained by structural limitations, including inadequate human resources, limited infrastructure, insufficient funding, and socio-political pressures such as elite intervention and high central performance targets. The study concludes that the effectiveness of smallholder oil palm governance is highly dependent on the adaptive capacity of regional bureaucracies. Strengthening institutional flexibility, bureaucratic capacity, and multi-level coordination is essential to enhance policy outcomes. This research contributes to the literature by demonstrating how bureaucratic discretion, structural constraints, and local political dynamics interact in shaping policy implementation, offering both theoretical and practical insights for more inclusive and sustainable agricultural governance.
