<![CDATA[Civil-military relations in Indonesia have experienced ups and downs during several periods of government, namely since the old order, new order, and reform order eras. Military involvement in the political sphere during the new order government has sparked criticism of the professionalism of the Indonesian National Army, as it is considered to have been used as a tool to maintain power through repressive actions. This study uses qualitative methods with literature review techniques to analyze the state of civil-military relations in Indonesia from the new order era to the reform era in an effort to shape a reformist military character. Military control over civilians during the new order era was driven by the need to create political stability and security for the sake of development. However, after the new order era, Indonesia continued to make major changes in realizing a professional national army. In the reform era, the military was under civilian control, which did not allow active military personnel to enter the political and public bureaucratic areas.]]>

<![CDATA[Using buzzers in product marketing is common and part of a marketing communication strategy. However, the use of buzzers has shifted to the political realm, causing negative impacts such as manipulating public opinion by spreading false information and propaganda. A number of countries have utilized buzzers for propaganda and public opinion manipulation purposes, such as Russia, the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia. This study aims to formulate an early detection model to prevent the damaging impacts of using political buzzers attacks on social media by referring to the AISAS (Attention, Interest, Search, Action, and Share) model. This study uses a qualitative approach with data characteristics in the form of words, images, or sentences and includes many quotes and examples. The study results show that political buzzers on social media can be controlled strategically. The core of this strategy is to disrupt the buzzers' work process and strengthen the community's digital literacy because the digital literacy program that has been conducted has proven to be ineffective. Through the early detection model in this study, this can be done by disrupting the work process of buzzers and strengthening digital society through digital literacy by referring to the AISAS model. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen regulations by tightening account registration rules and clarifying law enforcement for the use of buzzers attacks. ]]>

<![CDATA[ This study examines the landscape of digital public service innovation in Indonesia, focusing on a comparison of developments in urban and rural local governments from 2014 to 2023. Using a comparative approach integrated with a systematic search strategy guided by the PRISMA flowchart, this study analyzed 990 documents from the Ministry of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform's innovation competition, with 170 documents meeting the inclusion criteria based on the title and description of digital public service innovations and the level of government for in-depth content analysis. Findings reveal distinct patterns in digital public service innovation. Local governments show a stronger emphasis on interactive rather than static services, enhancing user engagement, while district governments demonstrate a gradual but growing shift toward interactive solutions. External innovations outnumber internal ones, indicating a priority on citizen-oriented services, yet raising concerns about institutional digital capacity. Furthermore, independent innovation dominates over collaborative efforts, reflecting a lack of cross-sector collaboration in digital governance. This finding highlights the need for a balanced approach that integrates interactivity with accessibility, strengthens internal digital capacity, and encourages collaborative innovation. The study is limited by its reliance on secondary competition data, which may overlook informal initiatives, as well as interpretive bias in document-based categorization. It also does not analyze causal mechanisms such as leadership or bureaucratic culture, and its focus on Indonesia limits its generalizability. Future research should employ qualitative and cross-country comparative methods to deepen and broaden the findings.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper conducts a comprehensive analysis of India’s Afghan foreign policy changes during 2021 after the Taliban takeover. For two decades India has been actively engaged with Afghanistan by investing heavily in infrastructure improvements as well as security developments and governance schemes. Prime Minister Narendra Modi asserts that India switched from supporting the Afghan government to adopting a more realistic stance towards the Taliban administration. This research seeks to advance these shifts while investigating elements that focus on security worries and diplomatic methods together with regional military forces. This study examines how regional stability, together with geopolitical strategies in India, has been altered because of these recent developments. The research follows a qualitative design method which performs systematic analysis of new political developments in India through case studies. This paper analyses the geopolitical transformation factors impacting India through the application of realism, securities theory, and strategic autonomy. India’s diplomatic reactions, security measures, and economic responses to the Taliban takeover between 2021 and the present period make up the paper’s study scope. The paper thoroughly investigates security implications by studying regional architecture security roles between Pakistan and China. India’s complicated foreign policies under Modi become clearer through this paper, which reveals how Indian national security interests, together with regional factors, determine the government’s response to the Taliban’s Taliban’s return to power. The study generates a better comprehension of the current geopolitical frameworks in South Asia.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the existence of bureaucratic network governance in optimizing the role of district institutions in Kumelembuai District, South Minahasa Regency. The change in the status of the sub-district as a regional apparatus, following Law Number 23 of 2014, has shifted the sub-district's functions toward greater coordination. However, the district remains an important node in the delivery of government services, public services, and community empowerment. This research uses a qualitative approach, employing case study methods that include observation, interviews, and documentation. The study's results show that limited authority, a lack of human resources, and weak coordination across sectors are the main obstacles to optimizing district institutions. However, there are local initiatives, such as the appointment of district staff as acting village heads, that demonstrate leadership potential and adaptability in the bureaucracy. This research emphasizes the importance of strengthening governance within the bureaucratic network through training, competency adjustments, and broader delegation of authority. These findings are expected to make a significant contribution to formulating policies that strengthen district institutional capacity in the era of regional autonomy.]]>

<![CDATA[Rural development in Indonesia after decentralization is influenced not only by formal state institutions but also by traditional authorities. This study aims to analyze how local political elites in Gorontalo negotiate power and legitimacy through interactions between elected officials and traditional leaders in rural development management. This research uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis in three districts in Gorontalo. The findings show that political elites strategically utilize traditional rituals and kinship networks to consolidate power and garner community support, while traditional leaders maintain their influence by mediating access to state resources. These interactions create hybrid governance that both facilitates and constrains inclusive rural growth. Empirically, this study enriches rural sociology by describing how informal institutions remain embedded in local governance, while theoretically contributing to elite studies by linking symbolic authority to development outcomes. The study concludes that effective rural development policies require not only institutional reform but also critical engagement with cultural mechanisms of legitimacy. In line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), and SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions), the integration of traditional leaders into rural development governance must be accompanied by a framework of accountability to ensure the equitable distribution of resources and the protection of marginalized groups.]]>

<![CDATA[Forest fire–induced haze remains a recurring ecological crisis in Indonesia, yet limited attention has been given to how online media frame local government responses and shape public understanding of such disasters. This study aims to analyze the portrayal of the Jambi local government in online media coverage of the haze crisis, with a particular focus on crisis management narratives and the representation of key actors involved. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this research employs NVivo 12 Plus to conduct a discourse-oriented analysis of news articles published by four major Indonesian online media outlets—Detiknews.com, Kompas.com, CNNIndonesia.com, and Liputan6.com. The findings reveal that the haze disaster in Jambi was predominantly framed through five key sectors: education, transportation, economy, environment, and health. Liputan6.com emphasized environmental and economic impacts, Kompas.com focused primarily on health-related issues, Detiknews.com highlighted educational disruptions, and CNNIndonesia.com concentrated on public health concerns. Across all platforms, the haze crisis was consistently framed as a provincial emergency caused by forest and land fires, with frequent emphasis on deteriorating air quality and the involvement of cross-sector actors in disaster response policies. This study contributes to media discourse analysis by demonstrating how sector-specific framing creates fragmented narratives that may influence public perception and policy prioritization in local disaster governance. ]]>

<![CDATA[The inconsistency between Law No. 1 of 2011 on Housing and Settlement Areas and Law No. 23 of 2014 on Regional Government has led to challenges in managing housing and settlement affairs, particularly with the introduction of the Workers' Housing Savings Scheme. This policy mandates workers to contribute to a housing savings program to facilitate home ownership. However, housing and settlement issues are considered mandatory public services, as the state is responsible for fulfilling the basic needs of its citizens. This article employs a qualitative research methodology, utilizing literature studies and policy document analysis to examine the role of local governments in implementing affordable housing provisions within the central government's national housing program. The findings indicate that existing housing policies, particularly, have not effectively addressed the housing needs of workers, as the financial burden of regular contributions or salary deductions is significant. Although government housing programs are designed to support homeownership, they have become an additional financial burden rather than a viable solution. On the other hand, various government subsidy programs, such as the One Million Houses Program, have shown positive results in providing affordable housing. This collaborative initiative between the government and housing developers aims to accelerate housing construction, demonstrating a growing trend in addressing the housing backlog. The article concludes that optimizing existing government housing programs and policies is crucial for enhancing housing accessibility and alleviating the financial burden on low-income workers. ]]>

<![CDATA[This study examines the dynamics of policy and institutional practices in conferring honorary professorships in Indonesian higher education institutions from 2014 to 2024. Using qualitative document analysis, it critically analyzes regulatory frameworks, institutional decision-making processes, and the competing institutional logics—drawing explicitly on the Institutional Logics Perspective—that shape the awarding of honorary professorships. The findings reveal a sharp rise in the conferral of honorary titles following the issuance of Ministry of Education and Culture Regulation No. 38/2021. However, the practice remains dominated by political rather than academic considerations, as most recipients are politicians or public officials, reflecting the influence of political and market logics over academic and professional standards. The study also highlights regulatory ambiguities and weak enforcement mechanisms that facilitate transactional practices and undermine institutional credibility, alongside persistent gender disparities marked by the limited representation of female recipients. The research argues for a critical reassessment of existing regulations and stronger, transparent, and academically grounded procedures. Its findings contribute to broader discussions on higher education governance in Indonesia and offer conceptual relevance for international debates on honorary titles, especially regarding tensions between academic integrity, institutional reputation, and political influence. The study calls for universities to balance public image considerations with academic merit to ensure that honorary professorships reflect genuine contributions to science, education, and society.]]>
