Abstract

This article presents a systematic literature review on the role of patronage in shaping Indonesia's political landscape. Using a systematic literature review approach, the article analyzes 30 selected articles out of a total of 250 articles that underwent identification and screening processes. The main focus of this review is to explore how political patronage influences power structures, political participation, and the dynamics of relations between political elites and the public in Indonesia.  Drawing on Michel Foucault's theory of power and knowledge, the article explores how patronage not only functions as a tool for distributing resources but also plays a crucial role in the construction and dissemination of political knowledge. According to Foucault, power is not just imposed from above but operates through networks of relationships, shaping the way knowledge is produced and legitimized. Patronage systems produce specific truths that validate the power structures and create a discourse that legitimizes inequality and exclusion. The findings suggest that patronage remains an essential tool in political mobilization, influencing both the distribution of resources and the strengthening of social and political networks. However, the complexity of patronage also poses challenges for the development of an inclusive and transparent democracy. This article provides a deeper understanding of the influence of patronage in Indonesian politics, offering insights for the development of more just and sustainable political policies, while reflecting on Foucault’s ideas about how knowledge and power intertwine to shape political realities.

Abstract

The implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for Villages in Indonesia since 2021 marks a significant change in the paradigm of village development. This policy is claimed to be an effort to accelerate sustainable development, but in practice, it constructs villages as objects of state control within the global development architecture. This research aims to examine how the Village SDGs operate within the power relations of the state, market, and village, and to evaluate their implications for the village's autonomy in determining its development direction. Using the Socio-Institutional Neoliberalism (SIN) approach by Toby Carroll, this research examines how village development policies are reproduced within the framework of global economic-political interests. This research uses qualitative methods with case studies in the Panggungharjo Village and Pandowoharjo Village, Yogyakarta. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and policy document analysis, and then analyzed using Yin's pattern matching technique. The research results indicate that the implementation of the Village SDGs is more oriented towards administration and compliance with global indicators rather than substantial village empowerment. The digitalization of village development not only complicates bureaucracy but also increases the village's dependence on central regulations, widens the technology access gap, and strengthens state and market control over the village. This research recommends a more democratic and participatory village development approach, allowing villages to implement development based on their local conditions. The reformulation of the Village SDGs policy must be oriented towards village independence, not merely administrative compliance with global targets.

Abstract

Classical sociology is a theoretical domain that is often labelled outdated. Nevertheless, in the Sociology curriculum, almost all departments teach classical theory to their students. In Indonesia, several classical scholars like Auguste Comte, Herbert Spencer, Karl Marx, Ferdinand Tonnies, Max Weber, and Emile Durkheim have been consistently taught by sociology departments all over the universities. However, despite the unwavering effort to preserve classical tradition, there have been no scientific articles that reveal one of the founding fathers of French Sociology, Gabriel Tarde. This article attempts to respond to these shortcomings by bringing the fruits of Gabriel Tarde's thoughts to the surface. This study uses critical hermeneutics to explain key concepts initiated by Gabriel Tarde in a series of scientific works and biographies. In general, the study found two things. First, there are two dominant concepts in Gabriel Tarde's thought: imitation and monad. The idea of imitation is used by Tarde to explain how society exists, while the understanding of monads empowers Tarde to elaborate on the phenomenon of social change. Second, with the example of migrant workers and the processes of agricultural innovation, this paper endorses the application of Tarde’s theory of imitation and monads to explain myriad social phenomena in Indonesia. However, the article provides three criticisms toward Tarde: his blindness to economic or financial capital, the heavy reliance on natural science analogy, and the tendency of elitism and colonialism.

Abstract

In Indonesia, the resolution of sexual violence cases often involves out-of-court mechanisms or restorative justice settlements. Following the enactment of the Law on Sexual Violence Crime (hereinafter abbreviated as TPKS), there should be no further out-of-court law settlements as explicitly regulated in Article 23. This paper seeks to criticise the prevailing practice of restorative justice. In addition, this article discusses the TPKS Law as a legal framework that favours the rights of victims using a feminist standpoint approach. The research method in this study is descriptive qualitative, using various sources of literature as its data sources. The results show that the implementation of restorative justice has ignored the aspects of unequal power relations between victims and perpetrators, which resulted in re-victimisation and the neglect of victims' rights. The TPKS Law is a starting point for the abolition of restorative justice practices in resolving sexual violence cases. The TPKS Law guarantees more protection for victims' rights, making victims more empowered and avoiding intimidating treatment from law enforcement officials and perpetrators. However, the TPKS Law has not been integrated with regulations in law enforcement institutions. Thus, guidelines for handling sexual violence based on the TPKS Law are essential for law enforcement institutions, ensuring a more gender-sensitive approach while permanently halting the practice of restorative justice in such cases.

Abstract

Urban Foraging (UF) has gained increasing attention in recent years as a means of engaging with nature in urban environments and as an adaptive strategy for urbanization and green space reduction. While research on UF has been conducted in Western countries, studies in Japan remain scarce. This study aims to analyze UF practices and their impact in Tokyo metropolitan area. Through interviews with UF practitioners and local government officials, as well as fieldwork in Tokyo and surrounding areas, this study reveals key patterns in UF engagement. Findings indicate that individuals who forage more frequently tend to collect a greater variety of resources, including plants, fungi, and even engage in hunting and fishing. Common foraging sites include rivers, parks, and vacant lots, with food being the primary motivation. Many practitioners have childhood foraging experiences, and social media and community networks serve as important sources of knowledge. Furthermore, UF appears to influence practitioners' perceptions of nature. From an administrative perspective, many municipalities prohibit foraging in parks, although some adopt a more flexible stance. The study highlights the emergence of ethical considerations and informal regulations among urban foragers. Through food consumption, practitioners develop a deeper awareness of their relationship with urban nature. This study suggests that UF could foster novel human-nature relationships and enhance urban green space utilization. However, further research is needed to examine gender, socioeconomic differences, homelessness, foreign urban foragers, commercial exploitation, and overforaging concerns.

Abstract

Alternative agriculture should not be narrowly defined as a chemical-free farming system that simply excludes prohibited inputs. Rather, it represents a comprehensive philosophical and ideological framework incorporating political and social dimensions. Both alternative and conventional agriculture are rooted in ideological orientations that reflect agriculture’s societal role. However, the farmers’ motivations for adopting specific practices extend beyond social or ideological factors. An examination of individual farmers’ lives and worldviews reveals that the meaning they derive from agricultural practices often transcends socioeconomic considerations. This paper employs Schutz's concept of the 'Lifeworld' to examine the underlying motivations and practices of natural farming. This study conducted interviews with five natural farming practitioners. First, it elucidated their perceptions of the reasons why agricultural practitioners refrain from using fertilizers. Subsequently, it revealed observational records of their off-farm activities and living environments to examine their relevance to agricultural practices. The results revealed that farmers adopt natural farming according to their lifeworlds, which are based on supra-scientific thought systems such as religion and spiritual cosmologies; that lifeworld dynamically coexists with the modern world within agricultural contexts; and that living spaces and off-farm leisure activities provide insights into the construction and expression of farmers' lifeworlds. In conclusion, analysing farmers' practices through their lifeworlds offers an approach to aligning their self-identity and self-realization with agricultural practices or rural lifestyles in modernised societies.

Abstract

For decades, smallholder farmers in the karst areas of Gunungkidul Regency, Yogyakarta, have endured precarious livelihoods shaped by environmental limitations. Scarce surface water, the absence of technical irrigation, rugged topography, and poor soil fertility present persistent challenges. Nevertheless, farmers continue to adapt using local knowledge systems—most notably Ngawu-awu, a practice rooted in the traditional Pranata mangsa agricultural calendar. Since the early 2000s, the intensifying climate crisis has further disrupted this ecological rhythm, forcing smallholders to rethink their livelihood strategies. This study examines how smallholder farmers navigate the changing climatic conditions while attempting to sustain Ngawu-awu practices. Three key aspects are explored: first, the use of Pranata mangsa to anticipate seasonal rainfall; second, the growing mismatch between this traditional calendar and the erratic patterns of the climate crisis; and third, the coping strategies employed by farmers amid this dissonance. Drawing on a case study approach, the research identifies four expressions of local knowledge: attentive reading of natural signs, collective experimentation and learning, intergenerational knowledge transmission, and communal resilience through reflective adaptation. These practices illustrate how cultural endurance and ecological sensitivity intersect in times of uncertainty.

Abstract

This study examines the inclusiveness of a program called Desa PRIMA (Perempuan Indonesia Maju Mandiri) or Women's Village Empowerment Program for Advanced Indonesian Women, which was developed by the Yogyakarta Special Region Government to alleviate poverty and promote gender equality. Specifically, it examines the extent to which the program effectively reaches vulnerable groups of women, including widows, individuals with disabilities, survivors of violence, and other marginalized communities. Employing a qualitative case study approach, this research explores the program’s implementation at Desa PRIMA’s Productive Economic Group (Kelompok Ekonomi Produktif – KEP), Amarta Sejahtera, located in Pandowoharjo Village, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta. Data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. Thematic analysis was employed to identify patterns in the program’s inclusiveness. The findings indicate that while the program has a positive impact on women’s collective enterprises by enhancing their confidence, facilitating knowledge-sharing, and providing social support. However, it still faces challenges in effectively reaching vulnerable women. Political interests emerge as a key barrier to the program’s effectiveness, increasing the risk of exclusion and restricting access to essential resources. The study concludes that women’s empowerment programs need to be redesigned to promote greater inclusivity and better align with the needs of their intended target groups. Such efforts are crucial in promoting equitable access to opportunities and resources, particularly for women in vulnerable groups.

Abstract

Academic progress relies on integrity, and researchers must uphold rigorous standards to ensure knowledge advancement and informed decision-making. However, this foundation is threatened by the proliferation of predatory journals, which exploit the pressure to publish and undermine the credibility of scholarly work. For Nigerian academics, this challenge is compounded by limited awareness, institutional pressures, and scarce access to reputable outlets. This study investigates why Nigerian academics frequent predatory journals, exploring their motivations, consequences for research quality, and implications of this practice. Using an exploratory qualitative research design, the study collected data through Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) with selected academics at the Federal University Gusau, Zamfara State, Nigeria. Data generated from the interview were transcribed, and patterns were identified and organized according to the objectives of the research. The data were analyzed through enumeration, categorization, and thematic analysis. The results show that a significant proportion of Nigerian academics have published in predatory journals, driven by pressures to publish and a lack of awareness. The consequences of this practice include the dissemination of unreliable research, damage to academic reputation, and erosion of public trust. The study recommends urgent interventions to address this issue, including education and awareness campaigns, improved access to reputable journals, and stricter quality control measures.

Abstract

Political years in Indonesia have always presented new and unexpected occurrences, including campaign strategies and activities of candidate supporters. Social media has played a significant role in shaping these patterns due to its ability to mobilize the community. One of the campaigns in the 2024 presidential election was the @aniesbubble account on X, a supporter of presidential candidate 01 Anies Baswedan. When it first appeared, this account drew widespread attention for its similarities to a Korean Pop (K-Pop) fan account. Anies was portrayed as an idol, while @aniesbubble is a fan account dedicated to sharing updates and information about him. Other accounts affiliated with @aniesbubble: @olpproject, and @haveniesday further amplified this strategy. This study aims to examine the 'K-popfication' (K-pop-inspired communication) of the content produced by the three accounts on X. This study employs a qualitative content analysis method to see the elements of 'K- popfication' in tweets or messages published within December 2023 and February 2024. The results reveal significant elements of ‘K-popfication’,, signaling a new era in Indonesian politics, defined by the pervasive use of social media and a more proactive and participatory audience dynamic. In addition, this research shows that the communication aspect was reflected in the creative use of social media and political support for Anies Baswedan and Muhaimin Iskandar was reflected in various online and offline activities. Lastly, thses accounts played crucial roles in spreading information about the candidates as they gained early access to information by attending and participating in Anies and Muhaimin’s events.
