Abstract

Child marriage remains a persistent social practice within Indonesian society, including in East Kalimantan, a region marked by strong extractive economic structures, pronounced spatial inequalities, and rapid social transformations as a buffer zone for the new national capital (IKN). This article examines child marriage practices across 13 districts and municipalities in East Kalimantan through Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of social practice, emphasizing the interplay between habitus, symbolic capital, and social fields in shaping social action. The study employs a descriptive-qualitative method, based on in-depth interviews with 89 individuals engaged in Child marriage. Findings reveal that Child marriage is legitimized by communal moral pressures, customary norms, and the logic of family honor, further reinforced by the state through marriage dispensation practices in religious courts. The agency of adolescent girls in decision-making is severely constrained by patriarchal social structures, structural poverty, and limited access to education and reproductive health services. Within a social space characterized by unequal distribution of cultural and symbolic capital, Child marriage emerges as a strategy of honor reproduction deemed socially legitimate. The article argues that child marriage is not merely an individual problem but a product of symbolic power relations and local social structures. Reform of marriage dispensation regulations, community-based sexuality education, and value interventions through grassroots institutions are urgently needed to disrupt the cycle of intergenerational inequality.

Abstract

This study aims to examine China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) cooperation under the leadership of President Xi Jinping with more than 100 countries in the Indo-Pacific region as a geo-economic order of developmentalism in the Indo-Pacific region to rival the United States (US) with its liberalism. BRI offers developmentalism based on investment-driven economic growth and infrastructure boom. BRI is also a geoeconomic phrase that shows China's geopolitical interest in controlling at least 45 percent of the world economy, whose potential lies along the Silk Road Economic Belt and the Maritime Silk Road. This explanatory research tries to explore further the grand strategy carried out by China in a transformation from the previous leadership era of Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, and Hu Jintao, to Xi Jinping. Then, BRI expanded, as Chinese investment in infrastructure expanded throughout the Indo-Pacific. The data was drawn from a literature study spread across official Chinese government websites (china.gov), journal editors, online media, and e-book provider sites. The findings highlight the declining role of the US in the international world under the leadership of Donald Trump, so that it a strategic opportunity for China to overtake the US. However, the US is no longer the only world hegemon. China is trying to introduce developmentalism as a counter-order to the liberalism that has been promoted by the US.

Abstract

The dominance of algorithms in the social, economic, and political life of the 21st century has created unprecedented structural dependencies, with complex socio-political implications. This research aims to uncover the mechanisms of algorithmic tyranny in social governance, analyze the transformation of AI into a totalitarian tool, and formulate a democratic oversight framework based on cross-national empirical findings. The study uses a critical-realist paradigm with post-qualitative methods, combining reverse engineering of controversial AI systems with critical analysis of over 40 reputable journals and books, and 14 policy documents (2015–2025). A rhizomatic analysis approach is used to explore the multidimensional nature of algorithmic power beyond hierarchical structures. Validity was established through catalytic validity to ensure epistemological and social impact. The research findings reveal regulatory differences across countries: the European Union leads in transparency but hinders innovation, while the US dominates with risks of fragmentation and minimal accountability. China uses AI for social control, and Singapore adopts a pro-business hybrid model. Algorithmic tyranny emerges in recommendation systems that create filter bubbles while judicial algorithms exhibit racial bias. Additionally, there is a totalitarian threat in the use of AI for mass surveillance and political deepfakes, meeting the criteria for “totalitarianism 2.0”. This study concludes with a novelty emancipatory concept to challenge algorithmic tyranny, through the instruments of an ”Algorithm Constitutionalism” and a ”Right to Algorithmic Explanation”. The policy recommendations emphasize the need for a global alliance to balance innovation with the protection of human rights in the algorithmic realm.

Abstract

This study examines the dynamics of the role and impact of the involvement of Indonesian youth delegates in the COP25–COP29 Climate Change Conferences through the lens of Two-Track Diplomacy. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, combining semi-structured interviews with six key informants and a literature analysis of scientific articles obtained from reputable databases such as Scopus, ScienceDirect, and DOAJ, as well as official reports from the UNFCCC, YOUNGO, and position papers released by the Indonesian youth delegation during COP. This study identifies how youth leverage informal diplomatic channels (Track II) to support and strengthen official negotiations (Track I). The findings indicate the presence of three primary mechanisms: (1) capacity building through climate negotiation simulations and literacy; (2) policy bridging by integrating data from affected communities into policy documents; and (3) transnational networking connecting YOUNGO, NGOs, and digital platforms. This simultaneous approach effectively promoted the adoption of several youth recommendations into Indonesia's Enhanced NDC 2022. However, structural challenges and tokenism continue to hinder the full effectiveness of their influence. These findings underscore the significance of implementing Two-Track Diplomacy as an integrative framework to bolster the representation and strategic impact of the younger generation in global climate diplomacy.

Abstract

This study critically analyzes how East Java Provincial Regulation (Perda) No. 6 of 2024 structures cultural governance, evaluating its potential for participatory, inclusive, and sustainable cultural advancement. Employing a qualitative Critical Policy Analysis (CPA) of the full official text of the Perda and related documents, the research involved Content Analysis and Critical Discourse Analysis. Results demonstrate the Perda establishes a comprehensive legal and strategic framework by adopting national cultural paradigms, mandating the formation of a Regional Cultural Council (DKD), and emphasizing Regional Cultural Core Thoughts (PPKD) for strategic direction, with the Provincial Government playing a central regulatory role while normatively enshrining community participation. However, the CPA reveals that while detailed strategies are outlined, the practical realization of genuinely participatory mechanisms beyond formal councils, explicit operational coordination protocols, and precise funding allocations are largely deferred to a subsequent, all-encompassing Governor's Regulation. The study concludes that while the Perda provides a more robust and detailed foundation than initially assessable, its ultimate efficacy in fostering effective, inclusive, and sustainable cultural governance hinges critically on the substance, quality, participatory formulation, and accountable implementation of this forthcoming Governor's Regulation.

Abstract

Public Service Motivation (PSM) plays an important role as the foundation of intrinsic values for public officials, influencing performance, integrity, service quality, and the effectiveness of organizations performance. The growing body of research on Public Service Motivation (PSM) in public organizations has attracted increasing interest from both practitioners and academics in the fields of public administration and governmental bureaucracy. This study aims to investigate scientific literature related to PSM indexed in the Scopus database using a bibliometric analysis approach. The bibliometric data were analyzed with the help of VOSviewer software. A total of 119 articles published between 1999 and 2023 were selected for inclusion in this review. PSM has been examined from various perspectives. Public Personnel Management is the journal that most frequently publishes studies on PSM in public organizations. Andersen, L.B. and Aarhus Universitet are identified as the most prolific author and institution, respectively, contributing to the field. Furthermore, the United States is the most prominent contributing country in PSM research. The VOSviewer analysis revealed five dominant thematic clusters within the literature on PSM in public organizations. Two themes that remain underexplored are work engagement and burnout. Therefore, future research could place greater emphasis on these areas, as well as on related themes such as turnover and organizational culture.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the transformational leadership style adopted by women leaders in Village-Owned Enterprises (BUM Desa) in transferring positive values, building trust, and innovation during the COVID-19 pandemic. The type of research used is descriptive qualitative research with a case study approach. The methods of data collection used in this study are observation, interviews, documentation, and data triangulation. The findings of this study indicate that: 1) The transformational leadership style in the existence of BUM Desa Binangun Jati Unggul has a strong influence in instilling positive values, being able to inspire subordinates, and being the key to innovative problem-solving. 2) Women have been effective in increasing the productivity of business units and showing the persistence of spirit in the joint movement in facing the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. However, problems are still related to the need for more skill development and the lack of employee independence at work. Women's transformational leadership style has presented a new concept of solid gender characteristics as an asset for a leader in making inclusive and change-oriented decisions. The women's leadership paradigm has underpinned that women can become ideal leaders to be relied upon in building gender equality. This is to achieve the vision and mission goals of Binangun Jati Unggul Village-Owned Enterprise in improving the welfare of the local community.

Abstract

AbstractNigeria's intricate post-colonial journey continues to present a complex tapestry of challenges and opportunities for nation-building. The persistent struggles with national cohesion, aggravated by deep-seated historical grievances, diverse ethnic identities, and significant regional disparities, underscore the critical need for robust national security frameworks. Intelligence agencies, by their very nature, are pivotal in this endeavor, providing foresight and actionable insights essential for safeguarding national interests and fostering a unified society. The nation's security landscape, marked by multifaceted threats such as the enduring Boko Haram insurgency, widespread banditry, and recurrent ethnic conflicts, demonstrably highlights the urgent imperative for effective intelligence collaboration as a cornerstone of sustainable nation-building efforts.ReferencesAchebe, C.
