Abstract

Land conflict between the Sihaporas indigenous community and PT Toba Pulp Lestari (TPL) remains an ongoing agrarian issue that directly affects the community’s livelihoods. The inclusion of the company’s concession within the customary territory has changed patterns of land control and use that were previously managed collectively across generations. This situation restricts access to agricultural land and forests, reduces sources of income, and creates social tensions and confrontations. This study aims to analyze the impacts of land conflict on the Sihaporas indigenous community and to examine the conflict through a political ecology perspective with a focus on power relations among actors. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings show that the conflict affects economic, social, and cultural aspects of the community and reflects unequal power relations between indigenous peoples, corporations, and the state in controlling agrarian resources.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze a social movement within the cases of mass protests that occurred in Pati Regency in 2025. This movement involved various social classes actors at the local level and was organized within a short timeframe. This study employed an observational method focused on online social media and discourse analysis approach. Data were obtained through digital media platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, and mainstream media. The findings show that, first, the social movement was grounded in collective anger toward the authorities’ behavior, which was perceived as insensitive to public sentiment and aspirations. Consequently, the protest mobilized diverse segments of society. Second, digital media played a pivotal role in shaping collective behavior and mobilizing the social movement. Third, the protest movement is classified into three forms they are digital space indignation, massive logistical support provided by the local community, and direct protest actions against the Regent. These actions also involved instances of violent conflict. The collective anger in the mass protests of Pati Regency reflects an evolving public sentiment that is formed and digitally distributed. Moreover, the protest signifies mass indignation toward a political system that tends toward authoritarianism. This study contributes to the study of new social movements and offers practical insights for policymakers by providing an understanding of how the dynamics of collective emotion specifically public anger can evolve into organized social movements through digital networks.

Abstract

This study aims to examine how digital activism influences government institutional behaviour, particularly regarding virality-based policies. This research focuses on analyzing three public issues: the suicide of an elementary school student, mining policies, and LPG gas regulations which only received government responses after gaining massive virality. This study employed a qualitative case study and the research focuses on selected viral policy cases that gained significant traction on digital platforms. Data were collected through digital content analysis including social media posts, online news coverage, and official government statements. The study focuses on cases occurring between 2025 and 2026. The research was conducted over a period of about two months, between January and February 2026. The findings shows that digital activism plays a substantial role in accelerating the implementation of government policies. The virality of the cases in question forced the government to implement policies promptly and effectively. Furthermore, these viral-based policies demonstrate a transformation in institutional behaviour, where digital public pressure is increasingly influencing agenda-setting and decision-making processes. The study concludes that, by the presence of digital activism, government behaviour patterns are no longer solely determined by formal and structurally designed policy mechanisms but are heavily influenced by the visibility and virality of an issue within the digital space.

Abstract

Land conflict constitutes one of the most prevalent forms of conflict in Jambi and ranks among the most significant agrarian conflicts in Indonesia. Existing land conflict resolution approaches pay limited attention to multi-stakeholder governance. This research aims to examine the dynamics of land conflicts and to explore the application of the pentahelix governance framework in conflict transformation. This study employs a qualitative case study design. The research area is East Tanjung Jabung Regency. This is one of the representative areas of land conflict in Jambi. The research data was obtained through observation, interviews, and focus group discussions. The selection of informants was purposive, and the data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify key patterns and relationships. The findings reveal that land conflicts possess a complex nature and exert a significant impact on nearly all aspects of the local community. This conflict is intricately linked to the dynamics of political power. In the context of conflict transformation, the pentahelix governance framework provides an effective governance mechanism for transforming land conflicts. Grounded in transformative principles, it promotes multi-stakeholder collaboration through inclusive governance. The framework facilitates collaborative engagement, reshapes stakeholder relationships, and strengthens institutional interactions in complex agrarian conflicts. This study contributes to the development of land conflict resolution strategies by demonstrating the applicability of the pentahelix model, both in Jambi and in broader contexts across Indonesia.

The phenomenon of Generation Z’s political electability in the 2024 Legislative Election reflects a shift in patterns of political representation at the local level. The success of Generation Z candidates in securing legislative seats in Jambi City has become a noteworthy phenomenon, particularly amid the dominance of politicians from older generations. This study aims to analyze the political personal branding strategies employed by Generation Z candidates in building their electability in the 2024 Legislative Election in Jambi City. The research adopts a qualitative approach, with data collected through interviews, documentation, and literature review. The analysis is based on Peter Montoya’s Personal Branding theory, which consists of specialization, Leadership, Personality, Distinctiveness, visibility, unity, persistence, and goodwill. The findings reveal that the electability of Generation Z candidates is influenced not only by their young age or social media presence but also by their ability to establish social closeness with the community, maintain consistency in political behavior, engage in intensive interpersonal communication, and actively participate in social and community activities. Personal branding strategies that are developed consistently and sustainably have proven effective in fostering public trust and strengthening political legitimacy at the local level. The study concludes that political personal branding is one of the key factors contributing to the electability of Generation Z candidates in the 2024 Legislative Election in Jambi City.

Abstract

The implementation of agricultural productivity improvement policies is an important effort to increase agricultural production and improve farmers' welfare. Policy implementation is influenced not only by program design and resource availability but also by the interests of actors involved in the implementation process. This study aims to analyze actor interests in the implementation of agricultural productivity improvement policies in Rantau Indah Village, Tanjung Jabung Timur Regency. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving representatives of the Food Crops and Horticulture Office, Agricultural Extension Workers, village government officials, farmer group leaders, and community leaders. The findings indicate that each actor has different interests in policy implementation, reflecting their respective institutional roles, responsibilities, and expectations. These differences influence program planning, coordination, decision-making, and policy execution. Nevertheless, effective communication, collaboration, and coordination among stakeholders contribute positively to minimizing conflicts of interest and supporting policy implementation. The active involvement of farmer groups and agricultural extension workers also strengthens the dissemination of agricultural innovations and encourages community participation in improving productivity. The study concludes that actor interests constitute an important factor influencing the implementation of agricultural productivity improvement policies in Rantau Indah Village. Therefore, strengthening stakeholder collaboration, improving institutional coordination, and ensuring transparent communication are essential to achieving sustainable agricultural development and enhancing farmers' welfare.

Abstract

This article analyzes the conditions under which Indonesia's two negotiating tables became irreconcilable in the Board of Peace (BoP) episode of 2026 and what this incompatibility reveals about the structural limits of Indonesia's foreign policy under President Prabowo. Using Putnam's two-level games framework (1988), updated for the digital age by Bjola and Manor (2018), this study maps how two simultaneous win-sets the international level (L1), where BoP offered Indonesia recognition as a global peacemaker, and the domestic level (L2), where Indonesia's Muslim-majority public, mobilized by MUI fatwas and deep-rooted anti-normalization sentiment, created a win-set fundamentally incompatible with any arrangement perceived as supporting Israel were managed, negotiated, and ultimately could not be satisfied simultaneously. The article argues that Indonesia's choice to contribute troops rather than pay the USD 1 billion membership fee was a rational two-level negotiation solution to keep both win-sets viable. However, the U.S.-Israel attack on Iran on February 28, 2026 rendered both win-sets irreconcilable overnight, making suspension the only remaining rational move. The case further exposes a structural weakness: a personalized foreign policy architecture without adequate institutional vetting mechanisms, which produced contradictions between presidential and ministerial statements and accelerated the incompatibility of the two tables. This article provides the first systematic two-level games analysis of the BoP episode in Indonesian foreign policy scholarship.

Abstract

The agrarian conflict in Teluk Raya Village, Kumpeh Ulu District, Muaro Jambi Regency, is a prolonged issue involving the village community and a palm oil plantation company. In resolving this conflict, the village head plays an important role as a local actor who bridges the interests of the various parties through a communication approach. This study aims to analyze the application of persuasive communication styles by the village head in efforts to resolve the agrarian conflict. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews and literature study. The results show that the village head consistently applies persuasive communication by adjusting messages based on the audience's characteristics, opening space for community participation through deliberation, and gradually strengthening the community's beliefs. Additionally, the village head also manages the gradual change in the community's attitude to achieve a better agreement. This persuasive communication style successfully mitigates the escalation of conflict, builds trust among the parties involved, and creates a more conducive space for dialogue to resolve the agrarian issue.

Abstract

The customary frankincense forest conflict in Pandumaan-Sipituhuta arose from overlapping claims between the customary community's management area and the PT Toba Pulp Lestari concession, reflecting the tenurial conflict problem in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the process and model for conflict resolution through the Social Forestry scheme. For the Toba Batak indigenous community, this conflict is not only related to land protection but also encompasses the recognition of customary law community rights, power relations, and the legitimacy of the customary law system in national forestry governance. When the area was included in the state concession permit, tensions arose that reflected both agrarian conflict and the unequal power relations between the customary community and the state. Using a qualitative case study approach through interviews, documentation, and source triangulation, the research results show that the resolution was achieved through community consolidation, participatory mapping, legal advocacy, multi-stakeholder dialogue, and formal recognition through Ministerial Decree No. SK.5082/MENLHK-PSKL/PKTHA/PSL.1/8/2021. The Social Forestry Scheme not only addresses land conservation but also bridges customary and state legal systems, establishing a collaborative-transformative conflict resolution model based on the recognition of customary rights.
