Abstract

The Political Party Financial Assistance (Banparpol) policy is designed to support political education and strengthen democratic quality; however, its implementation at the regional level remains substantively limited. This study evaluates the implementation of Banparpol in Lampung Province and examines its implications for the quality of regional democracy. A qualitative case study approach was employed, using in-depth interviews, document analysis, and literature review, and the analysis was conducted through William N. Dunn’s policy evaluation framework. The Indonesian Democracy Index (IDI) was used as an outcome indicator. The findings reveal that Banparpol implementation is predominantly administrative, with political education activities being incidental and focused on internal party interests. Budget distribution based on electoral votes does not correspond to the quality of policy outputs. The evaluation indicates a gap between normative objectives and actual implementation, while IDI trends show no significant improvement in democratic quality. This study offers an outcome-based evaluation approach by integrating Dunn’s framework and the IDI, highlighting the need to reorient Banparpol from an administrative compliance model toward a performance- and impact-based policy.

Abstract

Disasters have widespread impacts on society, thereby requiring an active government role in delivering public services in the disaster management sector. This study aims to analyze the implementation of capacity building as an alternative strategy to improve the quality of disaster management services in Jombang Regency. This research employs a qualitative, descriptive design. Data sources consist of primary and secondary data, collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The informants include officials and personnel from the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) and Fire and Rescue Services (Damkar) of Jombang Regency. Data analysis uses the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that efforts to improve disaster management services have been implemented through various programs, including disaster education and personnel training. However, the implementation of capacity building, which includes human resource development, organizational strengthening, and institutional reform, has not been fully optimized. The main challenges include limited budget, inadequate infrastructure, and the institutional integration of BPBD and Damkar, which affects organizational effectiveness. This study highlights that capacity building functions not only as a means of enhancing individual capacity but also as a strategy for institutional reform in disaster governance. Therefore, stronger policy support and commitment from local government are needed to optimize capacity-building implementation and achieve more responsive, effective, and community-oriented disaster management services.

Abstract

Multigenerational communication in local communities forces individuals to adapt to differences in habits, values, and ways of interacting between generations. This study focuses on the phenomenon of culture shock in the multigenerational integration process in local sports communities, taking the Sparko Solo Community as a case study and the factors that influence the success of social integration within the community. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study method. Informants were selected through purposive sampling based on their involvement and experience in the community. Data were obtained through interviews, participant observation, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out through data collection, reduction, presentation, and verification. The results of the study show that culture shock stems from differences in culture, values, communication styles, and participation patterns between generations. Culture shock has four stages: honeymoon, crisis, adjustment, and adaptation. The communication adaptation process, characterized by openness, empathy, and interaction intensity, can strengthen social integration.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of contingency leadership on organizational performance in Nigeria’s public service amid persistent administrative and economic challenges. It aims to analyze how leadership adaptability affects efficiency, accountability, and service delivery. The study employs a qualitative approach, drawing on relevant theoretical and empirical literature to explore contingency leadership as the main analytical framework. Grounded in contingency theory, the research emphasizes that leadership effectiveness depends on the alignment between leadership style and situational factors such as task structure, employee competence, and organizational environment. The findings indicate that adaptive leadership—characterized by flexibility in decision-making, communication, and supervision—significantly enhances organizational performance. Conversely, rigid leadership styles tend to reduce employee motivation and hinder innovation. The study concludes that the adoption of contingency-based leadership, supported by continuous capacity development and institutional reform, is essential for improving governance and public service performance in Nigeria. It recommends implementing context-sensitive leadership strategies, strengthening leadership training, improving communication systems, and using data-driven decision-making to achieve sustainable organizational outcomes.

Abstract

This study analyses Saudi Arabia’s soft power strategy through sportswashing as an instrument of public diplomacy aimed at enhancing its global image and strengthening its international economic position within the framework of Vision 2030. A qualitative descriptive approach is employed, using content analysis of academic literature, official government documents, and reports from international organizations to examine how sportswashing functions across multiple strategic registers systematically. The findings reveal that Saudi Arabia’s sportswashing strategy operates across three interconnected dimensions: reputational, economic, and normative. In the reputational dimension, sport is used to reconstruct the country’s global image and redirect international attention from documented human rights violations. In the economic dimension, sportswashing drives diversification through tourism growth, large-scale sports investment, and expansion of the services sector. In the normative dimension, sport constructs a new social identity aligned with global values of modernity and inclusiveness, though reforms remain largely symbolic without substantive institutional change. Overall, sportswashing provides significant strategic benefits; however, long-term sustainability depends critically on the credibility of genuine domestic reforms that can substantiate Saudi Arabia’s moral legitimacy internationally. This study contributes to soft power and public diplomacy scholarship by offering an integrated analytical framework demonstrating how sportswashing operates simultaneously across reputational, economic, and normative dimensions as a tool of authoritarian legitimacy management

Abstract

This study examines Nigeria’s foreign policy choices in the context of energy diplomacy and strategic realignment amid the Iran–United States conflict. The research focuses on how geopolitical tensions, global energy market fluctuations, and historical alliances shape Nigeria’s diplomatic strategies and decision-making processes. Employing the historical research method with secondary sources only, the study critically reviews academic publications, policy documents, official statements, speeches, and credible media reports to trace the evolution of Nigeria’s foreign policy and energy diplomacy over time. Content analysis is used to systematically identify recurring themes and patterns, including energy security, national interest, strategic partnerships, and alignment with global powers. Findings reveal that Nigeria’s foreign policy is both reactive to international developments and proactive in protecting its economic and strategic interests. The study highlights the country’s pragmatic approach to balancing relationships with major powers while safeguarding its energy resources. Based on the findings, the study recommends that Nigeria strengthen multilateral energy diplomacy, enhance strategic foreign policy planning, and invest in continuous research to inform evidence-based decision-making. This research contributes to the understanding of how medium-sized oil-producing nations navigate complex international conflicts, offering insights into the intersection of energy security and foreign policy in a volatile global environment.

Abstract

This study explores the historical and diplomatic ties between Nigeria and Fernando Po (Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea) since 1960. However, references are made to the periods preceeding the era to established historical links. The analysis touches pre-colonial trading networks, colonial partitioning, and current nautical and economic contacts. The study explores how historical ties and economic imperatives have influenced Nigeria-Equatorial Guinea relations, particularly regarding maritime border disputes and oil exploitation. Using qualitative research methods, the analysis emphasises the long-lasting legacy of colonial borders, the importance of regional organisations such as ECOWAS, and the significance of oil discoveries on bilateral negotiations. The paper reveals that, while shared ethnic and cultural links serve as a foundation for cooperation, opposing economic interests, particularly over offshore oil deposits, have caused recurring conflicts, resulting in diplomatic talks and occasional conflict. It concludes that Nigeria-Fernando Po relations present both challenges and opportunities. This study adds to the discussion of post-colonial state formation, resource diplomacy, and regional integration in West Central Africa by combining historical and contemporary perspectives.
