Abstract

Violence against women and children in West Java Province remains a serious social issue. To address this, the West Java Provincial Government launched the “Jabar Cekas” program as a preventive measure through community participation, socialization, and education. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the program in Bandung Regency using a qualitative method. The research was conducted in mid-2024. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings indicate that the program has successfully raised public awareness; however, it still faces several challenges. Human resource limitations, such as a shortage of field personnel, and non-human resource constraints, particularly limited funding, have led to a focus only on areas considered most urgent. In addition, coordination among institutions such as the West Java Provincial Government, the Bandung Regency Government, Hikari School, Pasirjambu Sub-District, Cukanggenteng Village, and community association (rukun warga) 11 remains suboptimal. The study recommends strengthening human resource capacity, allocating funding more evenly, and improving inter-agency coordination to enhance the long-term effectiveness of the program. Locality aspects such as social and economic conditions and culture are crucial in the effort to prevent violence, as implemented in Jabar Cekas.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the limitations of crisis governance in countries in the Global South, particularly regarding health capacity, the effectiveness of civilian institutions, and national preparedness. Under these conditions, the military has once again become a prominent actor in crisis management, demonstrating a significant shift in civil-military relations. This study aims to analyze patterns of military involvement in the COVID-19 response by conducting a comparative study between Southeast Asia and Latin America, two regions with a history of military intervention and diverse political characteristics. The research method used is qualitative-descriptive with a document analysis approach, encompassing policy reports, academic articles, international institutional data, and research publications on civil-military dynamics during the pandemic. Through this comparative approach, the study identifies three main patterns of military involvement: limited technical support, balanced civil-military collaboration, and a fully military-led response. The results show that countries such as Vietnam tend to implement relatively effective coordinated collaboration, while Brazil, Peru, and the Philippines exhibit a strong tendency towards militarization of public policy. These findings confirm that while military involvement increases short-term effectiveness in logistics, mobility control, and healthcare provision, it carries long-term risks of increasing state dependence on military institutions. This research emphasizes the need for strengthened civilian capacity, clearer boundaries for the military's role, and accountability mechanisms as part of a whole-of-government approach to maintain a balance of power in future crisis governance.

Abstract

In the current new normal era, regional governments are expected to take advantage of the moment to reorganize their institutional structure and administrative systems. The emergence of the coronavirus has merely accelerated a transformation that was already necessary in the face of the Industrial Revolution 4.0, which is characterized by the extensive use of internet-based technology (Internet of Things). To respond effectively, local governments need to shift their paradigms, concepts, and policy orientations in carrying out their core duties and functions. This change is intended to enhance performance so that it becomes more effective, efficient, and equitable. This study employs qualitative methods, with primary data collected through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions. The strategic analysis uses the SWAR method, which integrates elements of SWOT and SOAR. The findings produce a strategic formulation for transforming the regional government organization of Sumedang Regency, viewed from four aspects: reframing, restructuring, revitalization, and renewal. In the reframing aspect, the current organizational form and structure are still not aligned with the regional vision and mission. In the restructuring aspect, organizational expansion is evident from the increase in structural positions—consisting of one position at level IIb, three positions at echelon IIIa, nine positions at echelon IIIb, and twenty-seven positions at echelon IVa. In the revitalization aspect, only seven out of the twenty-six sub-districts in Sumedang Regency have relatively good internet connectivity, while nine villages are categorized as “blind spots” or areas without internet access. In the renewal aspect, employee placement remains inconsistent with established competency standards for each position.

Abstract

This study investigates the political strategies employed by female legislators who successfully retained their seats in the 2024 Malang City Legislative Election. It analyzes how incumbents navigated intense electoral competition while sustaining and expanding political legitimacy. Using a descriptive qualitative design, data were collected through in-depth interviews with two re-elected female legislators, their campaign teams, party cadres, and constituents, complemented by official electoral documents, vote recapitulation reports, and field observations. Guided by the political retention framework, which emphasizes strategies for sustaining electoral support across terms, the findings reveal two key factors shaping incumbents’ success. First, both legislators consolidated established voter bases through consistent community engagement, strengthening trust and accountability. Second, they adopted innovative campaign strategies to attract new voter segments. While one relied on dense political networks and a credible performance record, the other emphasized creative approaches and inclusive messaging. This hybrid strategy integrating continuity with adaptation proved effective in enhancing electability and reinforcing women’s political representation. The study contributes to the literature by highlighting the underexplored dimension of political retention and provides practical insights into strengthening women’s resilience in democratic politics.

Abstract

This study examines the role of digitalization in enhancing public service quality in Konawe Regency. The digitalization of local government is an important strategy for achieving transparent, efficient, and responsive governance that meets community needs. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation studies of digital programs implemented by the Konawe Regency Local Government, such as the integrated administrative service information system and the digital-based public complaint platform. The research findings indicate that digitalization has had a positive impact on service acceleration, increased accountability, and improved accessibility for the community, although challenges remain in terms of infrastructure, human resource capacity, and community digital literacy. In conclusion, the digitalization of local government in Konawe Regency has great potential to improve public services, but it requires support in the form of institutional capacity building, technological infrastructure improvements, and increased community participation and digital literacy to achieve adaptive and inclusive governance.

Abstract

This article examines how the practice of political dynasties in Bima Regency has led to dysfunction in the system of checks and balances within the framework of local democracy. Over the past two decades, a single nuclear family has successfully consolidated power through electoral mechanisms, bureaucratic penetration, and legislative dominance. This study employs a qualitative approach, utilizing case studies to highlight informal power networks based on kinship and patronage that undermine institutional functions, particularly those of the Regional People's Representative Council and the bureaucracy. The findings suggest that the public office recruitment process is not based on meritocracy but rather is influenced by political loyalty and personal relationships. On the other hand, the legislative institution fails to carry out its oversight function because the executive power network co-opts it. Political dynasties also gain legitimacy from local cultural symbols and aristocratic heritage, strengthening public acceptance of certain families' dominance. This study highlights how procedurally unaccountable informal oligarchies can control democracy at the local level and offers critical reflections on the need for institutional reform and the transformation of political culture in the region.

Abstract

The transfer of the National Civil Servants (ASN) to the Nusantara Capital City (IKN) is one of the initial policies in the relocation of the National Capital that has been decided and regulated in legislation with the establishment of IKN as the Capital City of Indonesia. The relocation of ASN to IKN becomes one of the indicators of the completion of Phase 1 of the IKN development according to the development stages in the Master Plan and Detailed Master Plan of IKN 2022-2024. However, the policy of relocating ASN to IKN has not been implemented until 2025. Therefore, this research uses a post-positivist approach with qualitative-illustrative data collection techniques in order to gain understanding and recommendations for preparing for ASN relocation policy. The results of this study indicate that the policy capacity at the system level in formulating the ASN relocation policy to IKN is still insufficient, as evidenced by the higher proportion of suboptimal indicators than those with good capacity. Analysis of the Analytical Capacity shows that data and information are available and have been processed well, although there are still issues with data not being synchronized with ideal needs, suboptimal speed in accessing, and a lack of comprehensive involvement of experts or non-governmental institutions. Meanwhile, the analysis of Political Capacity shows that a policy-making system involving all policy formulators is in place, but there is no framework for involving ASN as policy objects, and there is still a lack of commitment to providing fiscal resources. Therefore, this research recommends enhancing Analytical Capacity and Political Capacity for each indicator, considering that the improvement of both Analytical Capacity and Political Capacity is necessary, as they are interrelated and mutually determining.

Abstract

Ministry of Home Affairs Regulation No. 52 of 2020 concerning the Boundary of Pontianak City and Kubu Raya Regency still leaves unresolved issues. The purpose of this study is to further analyze the issue of government collaboration in regional boundary management. The research approach used is qualitative. Data collection was conducted through interviews, documentation, observation, and Focus Group Discussions (FGD). Qualitative analysis was used to analyze the data. The results of the study show that there is direct and indirect synergy and coordination at three levels of government. The West Kalimantan Provincial Government, through inter-agency coordination and optimal strengthening of the capacity of regional officials, has created a conducive atmosphere for the resolution of territorial boundaries, which can reduce social and political tensions in the region. The city of Pontianak plays a role in open communication and constructive diplomacy. This mediating role helps prevent the escalation of conflict and ensures that the decisions taken are acceptable to all interested parties. The Kubu Raya Regency Government acts as an effective communication bridge between residents and the city government, channeling the aspirations, complaints, and needs of the community to be taken into consideration in the public service process and border negotiations. With a participatory and community-based approach, the roles of these three parties have not optimally solved the problem. Solving the problems faced requires the involvement of a fourth party, namely the Central Government, as the highest catalyst in problem solving. The findings of this study are that the territorial problems that occur require complete synergy and coordination for those involved, both directly and indirectly.

Abstract

Stunting remains a significant challenge to human development, particularly in the Indonesian context, including West Java Province, where the prevalence increased to 23.3% in 2024, exceeding the national average. Sukabumi Regency shows intra-regional disparities in how stunting is addressed across its various subdistricts. This study focuses on two contrasting areas: Cicurug and Pelabuhan Ratu. The research aims to analyze and compare government strategies for stunting reduction in these two contexts and to identify key factors contributing to their success or failure. Employing a qualitative constructivist approach, the study adopts a descriptive framework to explore local government, community engagement, and structural challenges in addressing stunting. The findings reveal that the success of stunting reduction in Cicurug Subdistrict is driven by strong cross-sectoral coordination through the Forkompimcam (Subdistrict Leadership Coordination Forum), active support from the private sector via CSR initiatives, the use of digital data systems such as e-PPGBM and RME, and innovative community-based programs. In contrast, Pelabuhanratu continues to face significant challenges, including weak coordination mechanisms, limited access to accurate data, a predominantly charitable approach, and geographic and economic constraints that hinder effective intervention. In conclusion, the effectiveness of reducing stunting is closely tied to the capacity for cross-sectoral coordination, the implementation of data-driven policies, and the development of locally relevant innovations.
