Abstract

This research explores the communication behaviors of Afghan international students at IPB University, focusing on their cross-cultural social interactions. International students often encounter communication barriers due to differences in language, cultural norms, and social values, which can impact their academic adaptation. This study employed a qualitative approach, conducting in-depth interviews with five Afghan students. The findings indicate that students adopt verbal and nonverbal communication strategies reflecting their native culture while simultaneously attempting to adjust to local customs. They experience challenges like language limitations, cultural misunderstandings, and social stereotypes but show adaptive capacity through partial assimilation and participation in multicultural communities. Utilizing Face-Negotiation Theory and Cultural Adaptation Theory, the study analyzes their identity negotiation and social relationships. The research suggests that the presence of international students contributes to Indonesia's cultural diplomacy, with universities acting as non-state actors. Therefore, institutional support and cultural mentoring programs are essential to strengthen educational diplomacy and create an inclusive, globally competitive campus.

Abstract

Structural poverty in Muara Gembong District, Bekasi Regency, Indonesia, remains a serious issue affecting small-scale fishermen. This study examines the poverty conditions of fishermen’s households using quantitative and qualitative approaches. A census of 31 households and interviews with 5 key informants reveal that all households’ experience income decline during the lean season, keeping them below the poverty line. The stark income fluctuations between fishing and non-fishing periods show their economic vulnerability. Poverty among these fishermen is multidimensional, covering inadequate access to food, health, housing, and education-meeting the definition of poverty in Law No. 13 of 2011 Republic of Indonesia on Handling the Poor. Using Anthony Giddens’ structuration theory, poverty is interpreted as the result of interactions between social structures and individual agency. The study uniquely applies this theory to explore fishermen’s poverty from a multidimensional perspective. Findings show that political-economic structures, environmental degradation, policy failures, limited capital and technology, patron-client systems, and unequal market access restrict social mobility. To overcome these challenges, comprehensive and cross-sectoral policy interventions are required to address the structural roots of poverty and improve the resilience and welfare of small-scale fishermen.
