Abstract

This study discusses the implementation of Indonesia’s free and active foreign policy under President Prabowo Subianto concerning the Palestinian issue and its implications for Indonesia’s global role. The principle of Indonesia’s free and active foreign policy serves as the foundation for determining the direction of its foreign policy, particularly regarding the Israel–Palestine conflict. This research employs a qualitative method using Rosenau’s Foreign Policy Analysis theory to analyze the domestic and international factors influencing Indonesia’s foreign policy decisions, and interviews with experts. The findings indicate that President Prabowo reaffirmed his commitment to Palestinian independence through active diplomacy at the United Nations (UN), the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), and bilateral meetings with major powers. This policy strengthens Indonesia’s image as a middle power that contributes to global peace, although Indonesia’s strategic position has not yet made it a dominant force in the Asian region. The implications of this policy are evident in Indonesia’s enhanced bargaining position at the international level, its active role in the Islamic world, and the growing global recognition of Indonesia’s position.

Abstract

This study assesses Thailand’s readiness for blockchain-based elections by utilizing qualitative methods and semi-structured interviews with five experts in law, technology, economics, and administration. The data were analyzed through the dimensions of privacy, accessibility, transparency, security, and scalability. Findings reveal that while blockchain enhances integrity, significant barriers exist including insufficient transaction throughput, high costs, voter coercion risks, and limited digital literacy. Legal gaps regarding the PDPA also hinder adoption. Consequently, the study proposes the Thailand Blockchain Election Readiness Model (TBERM) which is a hybrid framework integrating blockchain auditing with physical polling units to mitigate security and accessibility concerns. The results indicate that Thailand is not yet prepared for full nationwide adoption but can transition through the proposed TBERM. The study recommends incremental implementation via pilot projects supported by legal reforms and public education.

Abstract

This study examines the role of barangay-level communication in disaster preparedness and response amid political uncertainty, focusing on Ilocos Norte, Philippines. Specifically, it investigates how comprehension of disaster warnings and COVID-19-related terms affects citizens’ compliance, and how demographic and barangay-related factors moderate this relationship. A mixed-methods approach was employed, involving surveys of 44 respondents (household heads, barangay officials, and Sangguniang Kabataan officers) and key informant interviews to document communication practices, sources of information, and community trust. Statistical analysis revealed a strong positive correlation (r = 0.843, p < 0.001) between comprehension and compliance, highlighting the critical role of understanding in disaster response. Findings also show that traditional communication channels, such as barangay announcements and personal networks, remain central, while political uncertainty can indirectly undermine trust and affect message adherence. Youth participation via SK initiatives contributes to information dissemination but requires enhanced resources and training. This study contributes novel insights by integrating statistical evidence, qualitative analysis, and political context to explain the dynamics of grassroots disaster communication. Policy recommendations include capacity-building, hybrid communication strategies, participatory governance, youth engagement, and integration of political risk into preparedness planning, aimed at enhancing resilience and adaptive capacity in local communities.

Abstract

This paper examines the foreign policies of Saudi Arabia and Türkiye towards Hamas. This Islamist group has become a major actor in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in the past decade. This article aims to analyze the two countries’ different approaches in addressing Hamas by capturing the political, ideological, and regional geopolitical factors at play. Using a qualitative approach and desk study method, data is obtained by analyzing official documents, diplomatic statements, and academic literature. The results of the study show that Saudi Arabia tends to keep its distance from Hamas due to its affiliation with the Muslim Brotherhood and concerns over Islamic radicalism, and supports the Palestinian Authority as a legitimate partner in the Palestinian issue. In contrast, Türkiye shows political closeness to Hamas as part of Islamist populist diplomacy and regional influence strategy. These differences suggest fragmentation in Muslim-majority countries’ support for Palestine and reflect the dynamics of power politics in the Middle East. This study is essential to understanding the implications of foreign policy for the unity of the Palestinian cause and regional stability.

Abstract

This article examines the Myanmar government’s illiberal peacebuilding practices in addressing the ongoing conflict with the Karen ethnic group. Using qualitative descriptive methods and a literature review, the author analyzes the dynamics of the relationship between the state and the Karen ethnic group, examining how security strategies, co-optation, and discriminatory policies are employed to suppress resistance. Using Comparative Historical Analysis as its method, this article will discuss the issue of this conflict from 2015 to 2021. The study shows that the 2015 nationwide ceasefire agreement failed to achieve inclusive peace; the Myanmar government prioritized stability and territorial control through repressive actions, human rights violations, and the implementation of the “Four Cuts” military strategy. The practice of media censorship, journalism, and the dissemination of false information further strengthened the regime’s illiberal character. The author concludes that although this strategy temporarily reduced the intensity of open conflict, Myanmar successfully implemented illiberal peacebuilding procedurally but failed to achieve genuine justice and reconciliation for the Karen ethnic group. The conflict continues and is prone to escalation, demonstrating that a false peace without democracy and substantive justice will always be fragile in Myanmar.

Abstract

As a key element of the political economy, cross-border trade makes a substantial contribution to community welfare while also supporting national economic growth. West Kalimantan, which borders Sarawak, Malaysia, serves as a strategic economic corridor in Indonesia, facilitating the movement of people and goods through the National Border Post. Although local products are the main commodities traded at this border, issues of product competitiveness, market stability, and border security pose major challenges to trade. Within the framework of cross-border political economy, this study examines both the opportunities and challenges in trading local products. It emphasizes how government initiatives, institutional coordination, and security management shape sustainable trade. Data was collected using a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews with institutional representatives, the Indonesian Consulate General in Kuching, central and local government officials, and document analysis. Triangulation of methods and sources was used to ensure data validity. The study shows that good political coordination, institutional synergy, and border stability are essential to improving the competitiveness of local products in cross-border trade.

Abstract

This study examines factors shaping digital transformation in local government and the mechanisms through which these factors influence implementation outcomes. Using a scoping review design, the study maps recent empirical and conceptual literature to capture the breadth and diversity of evidence. A systematic search was conducted in Scopus, Springer, and EBSCOhost using the keywords “digital transformation” AND “local government”, limited to English-language publications published between 2021 and 2025. The search identified 246 records, of which 22 studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the final analysis. Extracted data were synthesized using a multi-level analytical framework encompassing individual, organizational, and environmental dimensions. The review identifies nine factors frequently discussed as shaping digital transformation in local government: digital capabilities and literacy, readiness for change, organizational capacity, the role of public managers and leadership, organizational culture and values, private sector demands, public expectations, regulatory and political conditions, and broader external conditions. The literature also highlights recurring barriers, including limited digital infrastructure and technical expertise, budget constraints, bureaucratic resistance to change, weak political support, insufficient change-management capability, rigid regulatory frameworks, and complex legacy systems. The findings indicate that digital transformation in local government is not driven by technology alone, but by the interaction of human capabilities, organizational arrangements, leadership, and external stakeholder pressures. Overall, this review underscores the importance of a holistic and integrated approach that strengthens human resources, adaptive governance, and stakeholder coordination to ensure effective, inclusive, and sustainable digital transformation, particularly in decentralized and resource-constrained contexts.
FROM RIVALRY TO RITUAL: SUNGKEMAN AS A STRATEGIC POLITICAL COMMUNICATION TOOL IN INDONESIAN POLITICS

Abstract

This study explores the overlooked phenomenon of “political sungkeman “ as a culturally rooted yet politically strategic gesture performed by Prabowo Subianto toward Joko Widodo (Jokowi) during Indonesia’s 2019 and 2024 presidential elections. While symbolic gestures have been widely studied in global political communication, limited attention has been paid to how localized traditions like sungkeman are adapted to mitigate polarization and influence public perception in highly mediated electoral contexts. Utilizing a qualitative literature review combined with political discourse and media framing analysis, this study investigates the role of sungkeman through five analytical dimensions: political reconciliation, cultural symbolism, image strategy, public response, and media narrative. The findings reveal that sungkeman is employed as a calculated political communication tool that evokes familiarity, fosters reconciliation at the elite level, and helps craft a respectful public image. However, public reactions remain divided along cultural, social, and political lines, reflecting tensions between perceived sincerity and performative intent. The widespread use of digital platforms and entertainment politics further amplifies or challenges the authenticity of this gesture. This research contributes to the theoretical development of political semiotics by providing a culturally specific case from the Global South, demonstrating how traditional practices are repurposed for modern political goals. The implications extend to the broader discourse on democracy, suggesting that culturally resonant communication can foster national unity, but only when grounded in genuine accountability and transparent leadership.
