Abstract

Globalization has brought significant changes to Indonesia's labor dynamics, including increasing labor mobility abroad and the problem of low labor quality due to educational and employment access disparities. This research aims to explain Indonesia's policies for the protection of labor, as well as the forms of international cooperation carried out to protect Indonesian migrant workers. Using the concept of Labor Protection and the framework of International Labor Law (ILO), this study analyzes national regulations, migrant worker protection practices, and Indonesia's collaboration with international organizations (OIs). The results of the study show that the number of Indonesian migrant workers, which reaches around eight million, contributes greatly to the national economy but is still dominated by unskilled workers who are vulnerable to exploitation. The government has made protection efforts through Law No. 18 of 2017 and the policy of exemption of placement fees in certain sectors, although its implementation faces challenges in regional capacity and compliance with placement institutions. At the global level, cooperation through the Decent Work Country Programme (DWCP) between Indonesia and the ILO strengthens the protection of migrant workers through the development of fair industrial relations, expansion of social security, and improvement of the quality of decent work.

Abstract

While media freedom is traditionally framed within a democracy-authoritarianism dichotomy, emerging patterns of digital control suggest that state-media interactions are becoming increasingly complex. This study addresses the background problem of how varied political regimes in Muslim-majority nations instrumentalize media to maintain legitimacy and manage public discourse. The primary research objective is to develop a cross-regime typology by comparing media control mechanisms in Indonesia, an electoral democracy, and Saudi Arabia, an absolute monarchy. Utilizing a qualitative comparative case study design, the methodology involves the thematic analysis of official legal frameworks, international press freedom reports, and digital archive data from 2019 to 2025. The key findings reveal that Indonesia employs "competitive digital manipulation," where democratic legal apparatuses like the ITE Law are weaponized for "soft" repression and self-censorship. Conversely, Saudi Arabia utilizes "legal-institutional control," relying on absolute monarchical authority and pervasive surveillance to systematically dismantle independent dissent. The findings imply that a state’s "digital legal architecture" is a more significant predictor of media autonomy than formal regime labels. This research contributes to the field of political communication and democracy in a Muslim and Muslim majority country by providing a nuanced framework for understanding how power is consolidated through media in diverse institutional configurations, suggesting that democratic backsliding often manifests through the legalistic erosion of the digital public sphere.
