Abstract

The rapid stream of globalization is giving a wider range of international public relations spheres. As the effects of globalization are the birth of local and international NGOs its activism is shaped from various perspectives. One of the INGOs is Sea Shepherd run based on the idea of environmentalism, especially focused on marine life protection but often accused of being violent and its movement labeled as eco-terrorism. We are using the case of Operation Milagro (2015-2018) between Sea Shepherd and the Mexican government that cooperated. This journal aims to analyze the relationship between two actors including the mechanism of cooperation in Operation Milagro to prevent the extinction of Vaquita Porpoise and the other endangered species in the Cortez Sea, Gulf of California. This article uses relative deprivation theory and transnationalism concepts to gain a new understanding of the analyzed data. We argue that the cooperation of both actors in Operation Milagro is creating a new stage of understanding between both sides through its deprivation of the Sea Shepherd and the cooperation between Mexico and Sea Shepherd. From the point of view of Sea Shepherd, it became a useful tool to reconstruct a new identity as not only an altruistic NGO but also a cooperative nonstate actor. On the other hand, Mexico provided the navy and federal police to facilitate the Sea Shepherd to reach its goal. The author uses some methods such as literature study by collecting data and facts from books, online sites, online journals, and online news. This article also provides some critiques of a problem that came from the effect of cooperation between two actors.

Abstract

Russia and the United States have been in the New START agreement for 13 years. A year before the agreement expired, the two countries agreed to extend the agreement until 2026. However, in early 2023, Russia officially announced that it was temporarily stopping its involvement in the New START agreement. This article uses the neoclassical realism analytical framework from Ripsman et.al. This article was prepared using a qualitative-deductive approach. Supported by primary data sources which include official state documents and statements by state officials and secondary sources in the form of scientific works, expert opinions and sources from third parties. The data is processed based on illustrative analysis. The findings in this article are that Russia's withdrawal from the New START agreement was caused by changes in the security environment caused by the US; Vladimir Putin's aggressive personality; a Russian form of government that gives the president full authority over his foreign policy; and Russia's strategic culture is perceived with threat and superiority. This article recommends internal factors as drivers of a country's foreign policy.Keywords: NEW START; Russia; US; Foreign Policy.

Abstract

This research addresses the prevalent community rumors regarding the Tablighi Jama'ah's aversion to political discourse. The veracity of this claim is confirmed through an examination of the Jama'ah's foundational teachings, notably the "20 Principles of Da'wah," where it explicitly proscribes discussions on both domestic and foreign politics. The inquiry into how a community dedicated to molding Muslim individuals and societies can effect change while restricting political dialogue serves as the central query. Employing a descriptive analytical method with a qualitative approach, the study employs three distinct data collection techniques—Observation, Interview, and Literature Study. Qualitative data analysis unfolds through successive stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion/verification. From field findings and subsequent discussions, two key conclusions emerge: Firstly, the Tabligh Jama'ah successfully molds Muslim individuals and communities in Temboro Village, Karas District, Magetan Regency, by adhering to core teachings under the guidance of experienced masyayikh. Secondly, the Jama'ah is renowned as non-political; a label that doesn't signify complete disengagement from politics, but rather refraining from overt political discussions. The focus instead lies in eschewing practical politics. In essence, the Tabligh Jama'ah represents a practical non-political entity. As a recommendation, this study underscores the necessity for further research into the Muslim community of Temboro Village, employing a multidisciplinary approach. Given its empirical significance, the community's dynamics have the potential to serve as a contemporary model for Indonesian Muslim society.

Abstract

This research examines the role of ecofeminism in the Wadon Wadas movement's resistance to the Bener Dam project in Central Java, Indonesia. The study aims to highlight the gap between national development policies and their implementation, with a focus on environmental and gender issues in large-scale infrastructure projects. It also explores how the women's voices in the Wadon Wadas movement reflect broader injustices in the development process. A qualitative approach was used, involving direct interviews with Wadas Village residents and snowball sampling to gather insights from key informants. The data was analyzed using a social theory perspective to deepen the understanding of the findings. The results show that the Wadon Wadas movement, led by women, embodies ecofeminism by linking environmental protection with the fight against gender marginalization. The resistance against the Bener Dam project highlights a significant disconnect between national development goals and the real-life experiences of local communities, especially women. The study also reveals that the government's top-down approach, with limited community involvement, exacerbates tensions and fails to support sustainable development. The research suggests the need for more inclusive and adaptive policies, like the Dynamic Socio-Spatial approach, to better balance development with environmental and social justice.

Abstract

The political geography of North Sulawesi provides insights into the local political dynamics with specific geographic considerations. This research employs a quantitative method, focusing on voter rationality, social identity, social cognition, social change, and political alternatives. Findings indicate that Generation Z students choose candidates based on vision, mission, performance, and digital information. Despite positive perceptions of performance, there is a discrepancy with the level of interest. Voter rationality is more focused on individual assessment than party loyalty. Social identity, including ethnic, religious, and cultural diversity, plays a role in political decision-making. Social media serves as the primary source of information, but voters actively seek verification from other sources. Mental processes and social cognition influence the interpretation of political information, and awareness of choosing in line with values, interests, expectations, and believed changes. Although voters have convictions, there is potential uncertainty in their choices. This study provides insights into political geography, voter behavior, and the socio-political context in North Sulawesi, supporting a deeper understanding of local political dynamics and student preferences.

Abstract

Identity politics is interpreted as people's subconscious formation systems due to myriad social problems and dissatisfaction. Religion's politicization as a form of identity politics impacts the sustainability of democracy in Indonesia. This study uses a hybrid of primary and secondary data collection techniques. The primary data encompasses information from the executive, legislative, and judicial branches, intellectuals, scholars, academicians, mass organizations and NGO leaders, competent people in political corruption and elections, and researchers through direct, in-depth, and intensive interviews and testimonies. At least two important things are increasingly sticking out in the view above (populism and identity politics), which are intertwined to create actual political dynamics in the mayoral election in Serang City. In the political arena, populism is characterized by efforts to place the public as the mainstream and focal point. The problem is that populism is often held hostage as a means of reaching the center of power. Public participation in the discussion of public interest only appears in the short period leading up to the political competition. The victory can be seen among the candidates for mayor of Serang; there seems to be no significant difference between them because no ethnicity or race holds privilege. The dominant religion in this identity politics is the Muslim community, which the candidates are targeting because the people of Serang City are predominantly Muslim. Most of the elected mayor's votes prove that he has more value than other candidates. The relationship between religion and politics becomes problematic when it comes to the particularities of local politics, for example, the emergence of identity issues such as religious sentiment, ethnicity, son of the region, and majority. -minority.  The issues of religion and ethnicity are considered applicable in regional head elections (Pilkada). The issue of religion and ethnicity (SARA) is considered the cheapest issue in the election context, manipulating the public's low education level.

Abstract

Google Trends is an alternative and effective tool for predicting candidate popularity and election results with a simple method. This research aims to analyze and compare the popularity of Indonesia's 2024 presidential candidates using Google Trends. This research uses Google Trends as a tool. Data is taken from December 2022-December 2023 with the keywords 'Anies Baswedan', 'Ganjar Pranowo', and 'Prabowo Subianto. Crowed data is visualized using facilities provided by Google Trends, Canva and  Flourish Studio's Data Visualization Software with three focus analyses: Interest over time, Interest by Region, and Related queries. The findings of this research show that the trend of searching for information about Indonesia's 2024 presidential candidates has been crowded since October 2022 and increased significantly until December 2023. The popularity of Anies Baswedan and Ganjar Pranowo on Google Trends was the same when each candidate made a declaration. Anies gained full popularity with 100 achievements, as well as Ganjar Pranowo gained full popularity when declared by Megawati Soekarno Putri with 100 achievements. However, the facts were very much different on the day when the Gerinda Party declared Prabowo Subianto. Prabowo's popularity when measured by Google Trends is only perched at position 30 while other candidates are above Prabowo, namely Ganjar 100 and Anies 78. Prabowo's popularity rose on August 13, 2022, which managed to get 100, Anies rose to 79 and Ganjar dropped to 57 even though it was only one day apart. These three candidates have different voter bases in the 2024 presidential election. Anies Baswedan's searchers on Google Trends are spread almost throughout the province. While Ganjar Pranowo excelled in Central Java, while West Papua, Maluku and Sulawesi many wanted to know Prabowo Subianto's information.

Abstract

This article discusses the practice of modular parties as a discourse strategy that underpins patron-client relationships between politicians candidates, free-agent party functionaries, and mass voters. This practice departs from the conditions surrounding activism to mobilize voters in the context of: internal conflicts, parties that are too centralistic, the lack of regeneration, the de-ideologization of political parties, discourses about closed proportional elections, and the rampant phenomenon of cadres reconfiguring political parties. This article is based on qualitative interviews with groups of people in the networks of customary collectives, incumbent politicians, free agents, and political party functionaries in Bali. During the electoral process for the legislature in Bali, we conducted four interviews in 2021 and ten interviews in 2023. Bali is a province where the customary village-based activism is particularly important. The research is framed by constructivist institutionalism. We find that the network of customary collectivities and the relationship between free agents and incumbent politicians follows patron-client patterns. Within that pattern, actors innovate and communicate discourses about cultural preservation and the welfare of the customary collective. At the same time, they position the relevant leaders or parties as central actors who can provide solutions to the problems posed. This discourse strengthens ties between the mass of voters, free agents within the parties, and politicians or candidates. Such ties mobilize family-cum-community in the collectives of the villages and customary networks.

Abstract

Pattern by forming regional governments at the first level (provinces) and the second level (Districts/Cities). This is solely to achieve the optimization of national goals and development. However, the division of tasks and relationships between central and regional government authorities continues to experience dynamics. This issue needs to be deeply examined, specifically related to how to obtain and at what level of legitimacy strength, before determining how the working relationship and authority between the Central Government and the regions should be. This research employs a qualitative type, utilizing focused literature studies by taking relevant literature and legal provisions related to the position of regional leaders' authority in decentralization and provincial elections. The analysis used in this study applies the theory of the regional household system proposed by K. Tresna and Bagir Manan, the theory of the relationship model between the Central Government and regions by Clarke and Stewart, as well as the theory of people's sovereignty by John Locke, further emphasized by JJ Rosseau's social contract theory. The findings of this research assume that the methods and strengths of legitimacy regarding the people's sovereignty held by both the Central and regional governments are the same; the difference lies only in the scale of the election/governance areas. Local governments must have extensive autonomy and independence in conducting their regional governance affairs.

Abstract

The polemic regarding the Presidential Threshold policy has caused conflict in society and hampered Indonesia's political development. This study aims to prove the impact of the Presidential Threshold policy on the political identity of two groups of people who are often referred to as "cebong" and "kampret". The impact of this policy has led to polarization of netizens and heated and uncontrolled communication patterns on social media. This study uses the netnographic method with a critical discourse approach to determine the impact of the policy. The results showed that the Presidential Threshold policy had an impact on the inconsistency of political parties, there were only 2 pairs of candidates in the presidential election, injured small parties because of oligarchic efforts, many negative comments were hostile on social media and researchers found Presidential Threshold policies gave birth to a Political Identity "cebong- kampret, which can cause the Indonesian nation to experience segregation which creates conflict in society and of course triggers national disgrace on social media. With the existence of a Presidential Threshold policy, the government must consider the presentation of 20%, this can reduce the polarization that exists in society.
