Abstract

As the largest archipelagic country in the world, Indonesia has a strategic interest in maintaining its maritime sovereignty, especially in the North Natuna Sea area which is rich in natural resources and has high geopolitical value. This area faces threats from China's unilateral claims through the Nine-Dash Line policy which is contrary to the principles of UNCLOS 1982 and disrupts Indonesia's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). This study aims to analyze Indonesia's diplomatic strategy in maintaining sovereignty in the region using the Mandala theory perspective. The Mandala theory, which originates from the traditional Asian power system, offers a conceptual framework that places the state as the center of power with a layered circle of influence. This study uses a qualitative method through a literature review approach by analyzing various academic sources, government policies, and scientific news data. The results of the study show that Indonesia's diplomatic strategy includes strengthening power (Mandala Inti), forming a central regional alliance (Sandhi), an active free neutral stance (Asana), and the duality of hard and soft strategies (Dvaidhibhava). The integration of the active free diplomacy approach and the Mandala theory allows Indonesia to implement an adaptive, contextual, and local value-based foreign policy in the face of geopolitical pressure. This study contributes to the development of Indonesian diplomacy studies by enriching theoretical perspectives through non-Western approaches that are relevant to the character of the Southeast Asian region.

Abstract

As a country endowed with abundant tropical forest resources, Indonesia has a strategic interest in preserving environmental sustainability through participatory and sustainable forest management. However, efforts to increase forest coverage continue to face various structural challenges, including high rates of deforestation, land degradation, and weak collaborative governance among stakeholders. Many forest management programs, including agroforestry initiatives, tend to be implemented in a sectoral manner and have not fully positioned rural communities as strategic actors in decision-making processes. In this context, the application of the Triple Helix collaborative model involving government, academia, and the private sector represents a relevant approach to fostering innovation in forest management. The main issue examined in this study is the absence of a wellformulated Triple Helix collaboration model that places villages at the center of governance in agroforestry development. This study aims to analyze how the design of collaboration among actors within the Triple Helix framework can enhance forest expansion through a village-based participatory agroforestry approach. The research employs a qualitative method through a literature review of academic sources, government policies, and previous studies. The findings indicate that Triple Helix collaboration can strengthen forest governance by integrating scientific knowledge, development policies, and the local wisdom of rural communities. This approach not only contributes to the expansion of forest areas but also enhances rural economic welfare and ecological resilience in a sustainable manner.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the collaborative dynamics of the Pentahelix model in disaster risk reduction efforts in Bintan Regency. The study is grounded in the high disaster vulnerability of the region, including floods, extreme weather, high waves, coastal abrasion, forest and land fires, and drought. This research employs a qualitative approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), and document analysis, including the 2022–2026 Disaster Risk Assessment. The findings reveal that the five main actors in the Pentahelix model, namely government, academia, business sector, media, and community, actively participate in disaster risk reduction forums with different but complementary roles. The government acts as regulator and coordinator, academia contributes scientific knowledge, the business sector supports logistics and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, media disseminates disaster information, and communities implement local preparedness strategies. The study identifies a sharing power pattern among actors, demonstrating that disaster risk reduction responsibility is distributed across sectors rather than centralized in government. Theoretically, these findings extend the Pentahelix model by demonstrating that disaster risk reduction collaboration is not only based on role distribution but also on adaptive power-sharing among actors, particularly in archipelagic and disaster-prone regions, thereby enriching collaborative governance theory in disaster management contexts. In conclusion, the Pentahelix model is relevant for strengthening disaster resilience in Bintan Regency through integrated local resources and capacities. However, this study is limited by its territorial scope and lack of long-term impact analysis. Future research is recommended to conduct comparative studies in other archipelagic regions and explore technological innovation and digital media in enhancing community resilience.
