Abstract

The wave of street demonstrations in Indonesia in recent years has highlighted tensions between the state and civil society, particularly when representative institutions are perceived as no longer capable of engaging in deliberative communication with citizens. This study aims to analyze street demonstrations as a political practice of civil society in response to the weakening of trust in formal democratic channels. This study focuses on a series of protests demanding the dissolution of the House of Representatives on August 25–31, 2025. This study used a phenomenological approach to analyze the symbolic and moral meanings emerging from the demonstrations. Data were collected through an analysis of media reports, civil society organization reports, official state documents, and social media content. The analytical process followed the Miles and Huberman model through data reduction, presentation, and conclusions. The findings indicate that when communication between the state and citizens is disrupted and public trust weakens, street politics emerges as a space to articulate criticism and ethical demands. The escalation of violence, differing narratives regarding the victims, and high public dissatisfaction with the handling of protests highlight the tension between electoral legitimacy and moral legitimacy. This study suggests that democratic legitimacy is dynamic and continuously negotiated through interactions between the state and civil society, as well as non-electoral participation in the public sphere.

Abstract

Riau Province has been identified as one of the regions most severely affected by forest and land fires since 2015. This study aims to (1) analyze the implementation of forest and land fire mitigation policies, (2) measure the level of village preparedness in facing forest and land fires, and (3) examine the impact of Disaster-Aware Digital Tourism Villages on local economic empowerment in Riau Province. The study employs a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative and qualitative techniques. This research develops a Disaster Mitigation Policy Model for forest and land fires through a Disaster-Aware Digital Tourism Village framework based on economic empowerment. The analysis includes policy evaluation, assessment of village readiness levels, and measurement of the contribution of disaster-aware digital tourism villages to community economic activities. The results indicate that Riau Governor Regulation Number 9 of 2020 serves as the legal foundation for the Regional Disaster Management Agency in implementing forest and land fire mitigation. Furthermore, the findings demonstrate that the disaster-aware digital tourism villages model contributes to increasing community preparedness levels and supports local economic empowerment through green economy-based activities grounded in local wisdom.

Abstract

This study examines the policy implementation gap between the national design of KDMP program and its implementation at regional and village levels, particularly in Riau Province. Using an exploratory qualitative approach, data were collected through literature review, focus group discussions, and in-depth interviews with key stakeholders. The analysis applies a gap analysis framework across five dimensions: policy content and context, institutional capacity, stakeholder participation, stakeholder roles and interests, and collaboration and digital governance. The findings reveal a significant discrepancy between rapid legal establishment and limited operational readiness. Although 1,866 KDMP units have been formally established in Riau, only a small proportion are operational in terms of business activation, financing access, and partnerships. This study contributes by developing a multilevel governance framework to explain how national policy design, local institutional capacity, and multi-actor collaboration shape policy outcomes. Strengthening institutional capacity, regulatory alignment, and collaborative networks is essential for ensuring the effectiveness of KDMP as a driver of inclusive rural development.

Abstract

This article examines the democratic consequences of Indonesia’s parliamentary threshold as an instrument of electoral institutional engineering. Its urgency lies in the growing tension between efforts to simplify parliamentary fragmentation and the constitutional imperative to protect meaningful political representation in a plural society. Using a descriptive qualitative design and a structured literature review informed by PRISMA reporting principles, the study analyzes regulatory developments, official election results, academic literature, and comparative experiences from Germany, Turkey, and Thailand. The article’s novelty lies in evaluating the parliamentary threshold not only as a mechanism for party-system simplification, but also as a democratic filter that affects proportionality, inclusion, and legitimacy. The findings show that the threshold has reduced the number of parties entering the Indonesian House of Representatives, yet has not resolved weak party institutionalization, coalition fluidity, or elite-centered politics. The 2024 election illustrates this dilemma, as 17,304,303 votes, or approximately 11.40 percent of valid national legislative votes, were not converted into seats. Drawing on Dahl, Lijphart, Duverger, Pitkin, and Mainwaring and Scully, this article contributes a normative-institutional framework for reassessing Indonesia’s threshold policy and recommends evidence-based recalibration following the Constitutional Court’s conditional ruling.

Abstract

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is increasingly recognized as a strategic instrument for strengthening public governance and advancing sustainable development, particularly in emerging economies such as Vietnam. In the construction sector, which is characterized by high environmental and social risks, the integration of CSR remains largely voluntary, with limited regulatory enforcement and weak monitoring systems. This institutional gap creates urgency to investigate how CSR contributes to local governance effectiveness, especially within the context of ongoing digital transformation. This study examines the impact of CSR dimensions on local governance effectiveness in Vietnam’s construction sector using 110 survey based observations from firms, government officials, and experts collected between 2022 and 2024. A quantitative approach was applied, including Cronbach’s Alpha, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression using SPSS 26.0. The results indicate that all CSR components significantly enhance governance effectiveness, with legal and ethical responsibilities exerting a stronger influence than economic and philanthropic dimensions.   The novelty of this research lies in positioning CSR as a complementary governance mechanism rather than merely a corporate obligation. The study contributes empirical evidence to the limited literature on CSR and public governance in developing contexts and offers policy relevant insights to strengthen legal frameworks, improve multi stakeholder coordination, and promote ethical business practices for sustainable governance outcomes.

Abstract

Development disparities in Indonesia, particularly in Gorontalo Province, continue to be influenced by weak coordination between the central and local governments. Although decentralization and participatory planning have been widely discussed, attention to how intergovernmental coordination functions in regional development planning and how community participation is effectively integrated into these processes remains limited. This study examines multi-level governance in regional development planning in Gorontalo Province. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with ten key informants, field observations, and document analysis conducted between January and March 2024. Data were analyzed thematically to identify patterns of vertical coordination, institutional capacity, community participation, and oversight mechanisms. Results show that overlapping jurisdictions, limited local institutional capacity, and unequal access to participatory forums such as Development Planning Consultation reduce policy responsiveness and implementation effectiveness. This study suggests that strengthening coordination mechanisms, enhancing local administrative capacity, and expanding access to participatory forums can support more inclusive local development planning. This article contributes empirical insights into how cross-level governance challenges are experienced within a decentralized regional context   .

Abstract

This study examines a key paradox in decentralization in Southeast Asia: the emergence of strong local figures who drive policy innovation while simultaneously consolidating executive power. Focusing on the city of Parepare, Indonesia, during the 2018–2023 period, this study addresses the urgent need to explain how decentralized governance can simultaneously enable reform while undermining democratic accountability. Based on qualitative case studies, this article introduces the concept of the mayor’s entrepreneurial mechanism, understood as a form of sequential entrepreneurship in which a mayor moves from narrative framing toward policy institutionalization. Findings show that this mechanism operates through the expansion of executive power based on legislation, where the autonomy mandate is used to centralize administrative authority, as well as through political co-optation that neutralizes legislative oversight. This study contributes to the governance and decentralization literature by demonstrating that reformist executive dominance may accelerate local development, yet also erodes the system of checks and balances. This tension raises critical concerns regarding the democratic sustainability of decentralized governance in Indonesia and the broader region.

Abstract

The Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia, the Tiananmen Square protests in China, and the Quota Movement in Bangladesh are three historically significant nonviolent movements that have had a profound and lasting impact on modern history, each characterized by the active participation of young people. This study aims to compare and contrast the dynamics of these three movements. This study explores secondary sources, including books, newspapers, archives, scholarly research articles, and journal publications, and analyzes them using an explanatory narrative approach. The findings indicate that although all three were driven by collective aspirations for democracy and social reform, the outcomes varied significantly. The similarities and differences lie in factors such as the role of youth leadership, the scale and nature of the youth demonstrators, the influence of social media, government responses, and broader implications. Thus, a key contribution of this study is that it highlights young people as the initiators, organizers, and symbols of resistance. The study seeks to understand the conditions that lead to the success or failure of youth-led nonviolent actions. Although there is a substantial body of literature on this topic, comprehensive comparative analyses of these movements remain scarce, underscoring the importance of this study.

Abstract

Over the past few decades, the Middle East has been plagued by a series of conflicts linked to terrorism, which have disrupted the stability of several countries in the region. Since the war on terrorism was declared, terrorism has influenced politics and policy in the Middle East. Furthermore, terrorism has also hindered economic prosperity, development, and social welfare in countries caught up in conflict. This article aims to examine terrorism and its impact on the political and policy spheres in the Middle East, specifically in the selected countries: Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan. This article uses a case study method to examine this topic in detail for each country. This article utilizes several global indices, including the Global Terrorism Index 2017–2024, the Global Peace Index, the Conflict Index, the Fragile States Index, and the Failed States Index. The findings indicate that regime change, clashes over ethnic and religious differences, and regional power politics are the underlying causes of the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that the context and conditions of Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan as post-conflict states remain fragile and are influenced by terrorism, the impact of the war on terror, and regional competition, which have serious long-term implications for each country. This article contributes to the development of the Regional Security Complex Theory by Buzan and Waver (2003) regarding the War on Terrorism, which relates to the Middle East security dilemma and the balance of power.

Abstract

The Labuan Bajo tourism area, designated as a top national super-priority destination, is currently experiencing complex dynamics in tourism development, characterized by accelerated investment, an increase in tourist arrivals, and growing environmental and socio-cultural pressures. This study aims to analyze integrated tourism policy governance practices in Labuan Bajo and to examine structural opportunities and institutional constraints in achieving sustainable and inclusive tourism development. A qualitative case study approach was employed, relying on in-depth interviews, policy document analysis, and field observations. Findings showed that national policy alignment and infrastructure-driven development have enhanced the destination’s competitiveness and global branding. However, governance fragmentation persists due to imbalanced intergovernmental relations, sectoral centric, and weak institutional synchronization. This study identifies three key governance gaps: (1) vertical dissonance between central and local policy implementation, (2) horizontal fragmentation among sectoral agencies, and (3) limited participatory governance, which marginalizes local community involvement. These findings suggest that policy integration remains procedural rather than substantive. This study contributes by proposing an integrated tourism governance model that bridges multi-level governance perspectives and policy integration, emphasizing adaptive and collaborative mechanisms in managing priority destinations.
