Abstract

A country’s foreign and defense policies are often shaped by its strategic culture, which encompasses national values, security agency principles, and historical perspectives. This study examines how the United States employed its strategic culture—characterized by a maritime vision, core national values such as equality, freedom, human rights, democracy, and liberalism—in formulating and executing Operation Prosperity Guardian to address the Red Sea crisis. The crisis, caused by the Houthi group's attacks, disrupted global trade and conflicted with U.S. values. Despite a year of operational efforts, the campaign did not yield a significant reduction in Houthi attacks, indicating limited long-term success. This qualitative research analyzes the underlying causes of this outcome by identifying four critical shortcomings within the U.S. strategic culture as applied in the operation. Through in-depth analysis, the study aims to provide a renewed understanding of how strategic culture influences policy formulation and implementation, highlighting the need for more nuanced integration of cultural factors to improve operational effectiveness. The findings offer valuable insights for policymakers seeking to enhance strategic approaches in complex conflict environments.

Abstract

Agricultural zakat is an important tool within the Islamic economic system that has significant potential to enhance food security and reduce social inequality. However, its implementation at the national level often encounters regulatory and governance challenges. This study aims to conduct a comparative analysis of agricultural zakat regulations in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei Darussalam, focusing on aspects such as nisab (the minimum threshold), zakat rates, types of crops subject to zakat, payment times, obligatory subjects, managing institutions, and the effectiveness of zakat utilization. The method employed is a comparative literature review that analyzes legal documents, zakat institution regulations, statistical reports, and relevant academic publications. The findings indicate that while the three countries share significant legal similarities, they differ in their institutional approaches: Indonesia relies on national legislation, though it faces low compliance challenges; Malaysia has relatively effective state regulations but experiences variations between regions; and Brunei maintains a consistent centralized system despite its smaller economic scale. This analysis confirms that the effectiveness of agricultural zakat is influenced more by institutional governance and community compliance than by differences in jurisprudential interpretations (fiqh). The study concludes that an integrative model that combines the strengths of national regulation, local institutional engagement, and consistent application of Sharia law is essential for developing agricultural zakat regulations in ASEAN.
