Abstract

Investment and capital investment are important factors in driving economic growth and national development. Investment is defined as the allocation of funds to financial and real assets with the objective of generating future returns, accompanied by a certain level of risk. Meanwhile, capital investment refers to the placement of capital, originating from both domestic and foreign sources, to undertake business activities that contribute to increased production capacity, job creation, and economic growth. This paper discusses the concepts of investment and capital investment, the types of investment based on form, source of capital, time horizon, and investor involvement, as well as the role of investment in Indonesia’s economic growth. The findings indicate that domestic investment (PMDN) and foreign direct investment (PMA) have a positive impact on the increase in Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), although their effects vary across sectors and regions. Foreign direct investment has been shown to promote technology transfer and the expansion of the industrial sector, while domestic investment strengthens the local economy. Nevertheless, the implementation of investment in Indonesia continues to face several challenges, particularly related to legal uncertainty, overlapping regulations, and the effectiveness of policies at the regional level. Therefore, consistent government policies, improvements in infrastructure and human resource quality, and regulatory harmonization are required to ensure that the benefits of investment are distributed equitably and sustainably.

Abstract

The government plays a strategic role in the national economy as a regulator, coordinator, and guarantor of public welfare. This role is manifested through regulatory functions, income redistribution, economic stabilization, the provision of economic stimulus, and protection for economic actors. In carrying out these roles, the government utilizes key policy instruments, namely the State Budget (APBN), fiscal policy, and monetary policy, which are interrelated and mutually reinforcing. The APBN serves as an instrument of planning, authorization, supervision, allocation, distribution, and economic stabilization, while also functioning as an essential tool for promoting economic growth and equitable development. Nevertheless, the management of the APBN continues to face challenges, particularly with regard to transparency and budget oversight, as reflected in cases of budget mismanagement that have resulted in state losses and hindered development efforts. Fiscal policy plays a crucial role in influencing macroeconomic conditions through the regulation of taxation, government expenditure, and deficit financing, implemented in the form of either expansionary or contractionary policies to maintain economic stability and fiscal sustainability. Meanwhile, monetary policy, implemented by the central bank, focuses on controlling the money supply, maintaining price stability, stabilizing the exchange rate, and safeguarding the financial system, while also taking into account global economic dynamics and developments in financial technology. From an Islamic economic perspective, monetary policy emphasizes principles of justice, equity, and the prohibition of riba (interest). The synergy between the APBN, fiscal policy, and monetary policy is essential in achieving stable, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth in Indonesia.

Furthermore, the study finds that openness to intergenerational dialogue, the relationship between faith and politics, and exemplary conduct in civil discourse are important factors in fostering sustainable political participation among Generation Z. This article contributes to enriching the study of youth politics by emphasizing the importance of dialogical and ethical approaches in modern democracy.

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the role of curiosity as a psychological and ethical strategy in overcoming political polarization and enhancing the quality of democratic discourse. This study employs a qualitative method with a literature review approach, analyzing recent empirical findings from political psychology—specifically the research of Todd Kashdan and colleagues—as well as theoretical reflections on public discourse and the ethics of listening. The results of the study indicate that the primary barrier in cross-partisan political conversation is not merely differences in viewpoints, but rather misunderstandings regarding the level of intellectual openness within one’s own group (in-group misperception). Curiosity is proven to be positively associated with openness, intellectual humility, and reduced social distance between political groups. Furthermore, simple psychological interventions that correct perceptions of internal group norms are capable of increasing curiosity and the quality of political interaction. This article concludes that curiosity and the practice of empathetic listening are essential foundations for depolarization and the strengthening of discourse ethics in contemporary democracy.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the rise of political violence fueled by the convergence of inflammatory political rhetoric and firearm accessibility. In the digital era, political communication has shifted from policy persuasion to an instrument of dehumanization that threatens the stability of deliberative democracy. This study aims to analyze how socio-psychological mechanisms and media ecosystems contribute to the phenomenon of contemporary political violence. The research method employed is a qualitative approach with library research. Secondary data were gathered from reputable scientific literature, policy reports, and relevant textbooks. Qualitative content analysis was conducted by integrating cognitive-neoassociation theory, totalism theory, and deliberative democracy theory to map the causality between mass communication patterns and the probability of violence. The results indicate that extreme political rhetoric creates a "siege mentality" that dehumanizes political opponents as existential threats. This phenomenon is validated as stochastic terrorism, where social media algorithms act as incubators for radicalization that trigger lone-wolf violent actions. The availability of firearms further exacerbates the situation by providing physical capability to ideologically radicalized individuals. In conclusion, the threat to democracy today is systemic, originating from the erosion of communication norms at the elite level to the manipulation of information in the digital sphere. Effective mitigation requires the construction of political "cooling structures," media algorithm regulation, and the restoration of discursive ethics to return human dignity to the political arena.
