Abstract

This article examines Tesso Nilo National Park (TNTN) in Riau Province as a critical case study of the failure of subnational climate and environmental governance in Indonesia. The real-world situation in TNTN reveals a stark gap between diplomatic rhetoric and implementation on the ground. The proliferation of illegal oil palm plantations, massive deforestation, and recurring forest fires have reduced natural forest cover to less than 20 percent, released billions of tons of stored carbon, and eroded critical habitat, including for Sumatran elephants. The study adopts a qualitative case study design focused on TNTN, drawing on policy documents, government reports, NGO publications, and academic literature. The analysis is framed by the concepts of environmental diplomacy, multi-level governance, and climate governance failure. The findings suggest that weak vertical coordination, large-scale land-use changes driven by corporate and local actors, and increasing human-wildlife conflict reveal a systemic failure in translating national and international climate and conservation commitments into local outcomes. Therefore, the park represents a significant gap in Indonesia's environmental diplomacy efforts. In response, this article proposes an alternative, bottom-up model of environmental diplomacy that strengthens local actors through community-based conservation, community-based ecotourism, and broader civil society participation in decision-making.

Abstract

The recurrence of single candidate regional head elections in North Bengkulu and Ngawi Regencies in the 2020 and 2024 elections raises questions about the effectiveness of institutional reform in expanding local electoral competition. Although Constitutional Court Decision Number 60/PUU-XXII/2024 lowered the nomination threshold and theoretically opened wider opportunities for political parties to nominate alternative candidates, this study shows that such institutional change did not automatically alter the configuration of electoral contests in the two regions. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, utilizing secondary data from official election documents, Constitutional Court decisions, laws and regulations, academic publications, and media reports related to regional head elections in North Bengkulu and Ngawi Regencies. The analysis employs the perspective of political party pragmatism and the office-seeking orientation in coalition formation. The results of the study show that the recurrence of single-candidate elections was shaped by the consolidation of political party support into large coalitions behind dominant candidates who possessed strong political capital, incumbency advantages, wider political networks, and higher electability. Under these conditions, political parties, including smaller parties, tended to prioritize electoral victory and access to power rather than promote alternative candidates. As a result, coalition building became increasingly pragmatic and contributed to the weakening of electoral competition across two consecutive electoral periods. This study shows that the recurrence of single-candidate elections is better understood not merely as an institutional issue, but as a reflection of pragmatic political party behavior in local electoral politics.

Abstract

Japan’s postwar defensive orientation has been recast into a more active maritime strategy under Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. Existing studies have traced Japan’s broader security normalization, alliance strengthening, and legal-institutional change, yet they have given less sustained attention to the maritime operational logic through which those shifts were translated into balancing in the East China Sea. This article examines how Japan’s maritime defense policy evolved in response to persistent Chinese gray-zone coercion around the Senkaku Islands. Using a qualitative single-case design, it draws on Japanese strategic documents, defense reports, maritime-security data, and relevant academic literature. The analysis combines William D. Coplin’s decision-making framework with Ariel González Levaggi’s maritime-strategy typology. The article finds that Japan’s policy shift was driven by the interaction of three variables, external pressure from China, growing domestic acceptance of defense strengthening, and the fiscal-technological capacity to implement strategic change. These conditions produced a layered defensive-defense posture expressed through coastal defense, sea denial, selective sea control, and limited regional power projection. Kishida inherited an earlier trajectory of reform, then accelerated its maritime consolidation and anchored it in an East China Sea strategy suited to prolonged gray-zone competition under constitutional restraint.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the persistence of repeated criminal behavior among former inmates, indicating a gap between the objectives of correctional development policies and their implementation. The research aims to analyze the implementation of recidivist inmate development program policies for repeat offenders and to identify the constraints and efforts to address them at the Manokwari Class IIB Correctional Institution. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach with a phenomenological paradigm, using in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation as data collection techniques, with informants selected purposively from correctional officers and repeat offenders. The findings reveal that the implementation of recidivist inmate development programs has followed established policy standards but remains suboptimal due to limitations in communication, human resources, budget, facilities, and bureaucratic coordination. In addition, low motivation among repeat offenders and limited social support affect program effectiveness. Efforts undertaken include enhancing persuasive approaches, adjusting recidivist inmate development programs, and strengthening collaboration with external parties. This study offers important prospects for improving more adaptive and sustainable development policies to reduce repeated criminal behavior.

Abstract

Law Number 66 of 2024, amending Law Number 17 of 2008 on Shipping, introduces significant changes to the legal framework governing the Indonesian Sea and Coast Guard Unit (KPLP), particularly its institutional status, authority, duties, functions, and coordination. This study aims to analyze the legal implications of these amendments, especially the repeal of Article 276 paragraphs (1) and (2) and the replacement of the term Sea and Coast Guard with Shipping Supervision, on KPLP’s legal position and authority. This normative legal research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, analyzing secondary legal materials through statutory and conceptual approaches. The findings indicate that Law Number 66 of 2024 fundamentally shifts KPLP’s legal construction from an institutional model toward a functional administrative model. Although KPLP retains operational authorities, including maritime patrols, vessel inspections, hot pursuit, and shipping supervision, these authorities are repositioned under the administrative authority of the Minister of Transportation rather than as an institution embodying the Sea and Coast Guard concept. Furthermore, the amendments fail to resolve longstanding overlapping authorities among KPLP, Maritime Security Agency (Bakamla), the Indonesian Navy, and the Water and Air Police, resulting in continued legal uncertainty and institutional fragmentation in Indonesia’s maritime law enforcement governance.

Abstract

The 2024 simultaneous elections highlighted a shift toward candidate-centered politics, where electoral success relies on adaptive candidates' strategies. This study analyzes the political strategy typologies in the 2024 election through a qualitative-comparative study of novice, incumbent, and Regional Representative Council (DPD RI) candidates. Three prior empirical studies serve as the primary secondary data corpus: Aulia Ur Rahman (Pelalawan DPRD), Ais Bakri (Agam DPRD), and Dwi Ajeng Sekar Respaty (Riau Islands DPD RI). Data were re-analyzed using Schröder’s political strategy framework and Bourdieu’s capital theory. The results reveal three typologies: (1) Popularity Politics among novice candidates via offensive-digital strategies (2,032 votes); (2) Loyalty Politics among incumbents through defensive strategies capitalizing on social capital and pokir funds; and (3) Identity Representation Politics among DPD candidates integrating offensive-defensive strategies via political family networks (111,920 votes). Official election records confirm these vote tallies (KPU, 2024a; KPU, 2024b). This study concludes that political strategy variations stem from capital distribution and arena structures.

Abstract

Medan City, as a center of metropolitan growth, has achieved a very high Human Development Index (HDI). However, it still presents a paradox in the form of sharp mortality disparities across social groups and administrative areas, making Medan City an important case for study. This research aims to analyze mortality dynamics in Medan City within the context of urban demographic and epidemiological transitions, as well as to examine the role of public policy in reducing mortality rates in a sustainable and equitable manner. This study employs a qualitative approach using policy analysis based on Walt & Gibson policy implementation model. The findings indicate that, in general, mortality rates in Medan City have declined over the medium to long term, as reflected in the decrease in infant, under-five, and maternal mortality rates, along with an increase in life expectancy. However, this decline hasn’t been evenly distributed, as disparities remain across administrative areas and socioeconomic groups. Medan City also faces the challenge of a double burden of disease, marked by the dominance of non-communicable diseases alongside the continued presence of communicable diseases among certain population groups. The effectiveness of mortality reduction policies is influenced by the local context, the involvement of relevant actors, the content of policies and programs, and the policy implementation process. Therefore, a policy model is needed that emphasizes equitable resource distribution, the strengthening of primary healthcare services, and integrated cross-sectoral preventive and promotive approaches. This study recommends strengthening policy implementation, improving the capacity of policy implementers, and integrating health policy with other sectors to achieve inclusive and sustainable mortality reduction.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Barito Animal Market relocation policy in South Jakarta and to identify the factors influencing its effectiveness based on George C. Edward III's policy implementation model. The relocation policy generated a range of complex challenges, including trader resistance, location suitability disputes, and stakeholder coordination issues. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected via in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis. Participants included officials from the PPKUKM Office of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government, South Jakarta PPKUKM, legal counsel, and both opposing and relocated traders at the Lenteng Agung Fauna Center. Findings reveal suboptimal implementation results across the model's four key dimensions. First, in the communication dimension, information dissemination lacked transparency and participatory efforts. Second, regarding resources, traders deemed the new facilities inadequate to support business sustainability. Third, the disposition dimension showed implementers prioritized relocation targets over addressing affected traders' actual needs. Finally, the overly formalistic bureaucratic structure failed to facilitate dialogue and conflict resolution. The study concludes that successful relocation requires inclusive communication, adequate resources, responsive implementers, and adaptive bureaucratic coordination. These findings contribute to policy literature, offering practical insights for governments to design market relocation policies that are more participatory, equitable, and sustainable.
