Abstract

This study analyzes Indonesia's strategic role in the global nickel industry and its implications for geopolitical dynamics, particularly in the context of the rivalry between the United States and China in the electric vehicle battery sector. Despite its possession of the world's largest nickel reserves, Indonesia faces considerable challenges due to domestic policies, including the prohibition of nickel ore exports and the preponderance of Chinese investment. The enactment of the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) has further exacerbated the already complex situation in Indonesia by imposing restrictions on subsidies for battery materials, thereby limiting their availability to those sourced exclusively from official U.S. trading partners. This research utilizes a qualitative approach and a literature study to reveal that the Republic of Indonesia is currently confronted with a complex geopolitical dilemma. It is imperative to implement a hedging strategy to ensure the maintenance of balanced relations with both major powers while concurrently expanding strategic partnerships with other nations. The findings offer policy insights that could be used to strengthen Indonesia's role in the global clean energy supply chain.

Abstract

This study critically examines the regulatory challenges facing Indonesian business law amid rapid technological disruption, using normative legal research with a doctrinal approach. Analyzing legislation, legal principles, and academic literature, it identifies a persistent tension between legal certainty and the imperative to innovate. Indonesia’s regulatory framework often trails digital transformation and global integration, producing delays that generate uncertainty for firms, weaken consumer protection, and heighten risks of unfair practices. The literature remains thin on the dynamic mismatch between evolving business models and regulatory responses, underscoring the need for studies that integrate empirical evidence with theory to inform adaptive rule-making. Cross-border transactions compound complexity, as jurisdictional overlaps constrain national authorities in cases involving transnational actors; these pressures are systemic, bearing directly on the effectiveness, legitimacy, and competitiveness of Indonesian business law. Rather than reacting after the fact, business law should act as a driver of responsible innovation—promoting growth while respecting Indonesian legal and cultural values and protecting the public interest. This requires a normative framework attentive to local socio-cultural specificities, distinct from dominant Western accounts of responsible innovation. Indonesia’s capacity to navigate disruption thus depends not only on legislative reform but also on a responsive, collaborative, and inclusive legal ecosystem that is anticipatory, integrative, and resilient. The study contributes theoretically by clarifying how to design institutions that deliver legal certainty while enabling sustainable innovation, and practically by offering a foundation for policymakers to build a fair, competitive, future-ready regime.

Abstract

Trading in influence is a corruption practice involving the abuse of position or relationships to influence officials for personal or group gain. While recognized under the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) Article 18, Indonesian positive law does not explicitly regulate this act. This study aims to (1) identify gaps in Indonesian law regarding influence peddling, (2) examine the potential for its inclusion as a corruption crime, and (3) explore the relevance of Islamic law as a normative foundation. Using normative legal methods with a doctrinal approach, the research analyzes legislation, international conventions, expert opinions, and Islamic legal sources such as the Qur’an, Hadith, and jurisprudence. Findings show a normative gap in Indonesian law, while Islamic law strongly prohibits abuse of influence through bribery and istighlal al-jah. Influence trading contradicts principles of justice, honesty, and trustworthiness, as well as the objectives of maqasid sharia, since it disrupts the economic order and harms society. Although Indonesia ratified UNCAC, national law still lacks provisions to prosecute such acts. Therefore, trading in influence should be firmly formulated in future legal reforms (ius constituendum) to enhance anti-corruption efforts and ensure justice in line with Islamic values.

Abstract

This study aims to: (1) examine the legal aspects of smart contracts in the Indonesian legal system and propose adaptations to existing laws and regulations to suit the characteristics of smart contract technology; (2) identify normative and implementative challenges in the legal adaptation process, such as normative gaps and the lack of a standard framework; and (3) formulate the direction of legal reform needed to form responsive and contextual smart contract regulations. Unlike previous studies which are generally descriptive and technological in nature, this study provides a legal contribution by mapping gaps in national contract law and presenting a comparative analysis as a basis for formulating a smart contract regulation model in Indonesia. This research uses a juridical-normative and empirical-qualitative approach, with a doctrinal legal analysis of the legislation, legal literature study, and in-depth interviews with legal practitioners and technology actors. The main findings of this research indicate that there is no legal framework that explicitly regulates the validity and execution of smart contracts, which creates legal uncertainty. Therefore, it is recommended that the principle of freedom of contract in the Civil Code be expanded to include digital contracts that are executed automatically. In addition, special regulations are needed in the form of derivative regulations or technical guidelines that bridge blockchain technology with national civil law principles. The practical contribution of this research is to provide a starting point for policymakers and academics in designing smart contract regulations in Indonesia that are comprehensive and responsive to technological developments, so that they can provide legal certainty while supporting digital innovation.

Abstract

This article examines the direction and dynamics of Indonesia's trade policy on nickel commodities since 2020, particularly after the implementation of the nickel ore export ban. Indonesia's transformation from a major raw nickel ore exporter to the world's leading supplier of processed nickel products represents a striking example of how industrial policy can drive economic transformation in resource-rich countries. This policy not only signaled a shift in the management of natural resources but also triggered reactions from global actors, including a formal lawsuit by the European Union through the WTO's dispute settlement mechanism. Using a qualitative approach and comprehensive literature review, this article aims to explain how the nickel downstreaming policy has been positioned as a strategic instrument to achieve national interests in the global economy. The research demonstrates that Indonesia's assertive trade policy has tested the boundaries of the international trading system, reflecting broader trends of resource nationalism among developing countries seeking greater control over their natural resources. By analyzing official documents, government statements, and extensive academic studies, this article highlights the relationship between economic nationalism, international trade dynamics, and the challenges facing developing countries in asserting resource sovereignty. The findings demonstrate that while downstreaming boosts macro-economic metrics and strengthens Indonesia's position in global value chains, it creates significant distributional, environmental, and geopolitical challenges that require careful policy refinement to balance economic nationalism with sustainability and international trade obligations.

Abstract

This study examines how Integrated Corporate Communication (ICC) strategies shape the credibility of oil and gas companies in securing green loans, responding to growing financial sector demands for transparency and sustainability in the context of global climate action. Focusing on Company X and its interactions with Bank Y, the research addresses how ICC implementation influences perceived eligibility for green financing. By integrating the Competing Values Framework for Corporate Communication (CVFCC) with the Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM), this study offers novel insights into the underexplored intersection of corporate communication and green financing, particularly in emerging markets where prior studies have often neglected the strategic role of ICC. Employing a qualitative case study grounded in a constructivist paradigm, data were gathered through in-depth interviews with Company X’s communication and sustainability teams and Bank Y officials, complemented by document analysis. The findings reveal that cross-functional communication spanning employee, media, investor, and government relations significantly strengthens sustainability credibility, with both central and peripheral communication strategies proving persuasive in loan assessments. The study concludes that cohesive and transparent ICC enhances the perceived credibility of energy firms, underscoring its vital role as a strategic tool for companies seeking access to sustainable finance in an increasingly scrutinised business environment.

Abstract

This study explores how the City of Bandung employed paradiplomacy, particularly through sister city cooperation with Suwon (South Korea) and Liuzhou (China), to respond to urgent healthcare shortages during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using qualitative documentary analysis of government archives, official communications, media coverage, and academic sources, the study shows how Bandung mobilized long-standing international networks to secure 30,000 donated masks, directly alleviating local scarcity at a critical moment. More than symbolic engagement, this cooperation demonstrated that institutionalized paradiplomacy can function as an operational mechanism for crisis response, complementing national strategies and strengthening multilevel governance. The findings highlight Bandung’s proactive international outreach as a practical contribution with tangible health benefits, while also underscoring the broader theoretical relevance of paradiplomacy as part of global governance frameworks. Ultimately, the case illustrates the value of sister city diplomacy not only for emergency relief but also as a replicable model for enhancing resilience and adaptive local governance in wider development contexts.

Abstract

Tourism that is developing in the Baduy region has now caused cultural degradation due to tourism activities, especially those involving tour guides from the Baduy tribe. The urgency of this study is the need for a study of tourism models that can adapt to the provisions of customary rules. The purpose of this study is to make recommendations for a culturally friendly tourism concept model that is suitable for application in Baduy so as not to degrade the culture of the Baduy tribe. This study uses a qualitative method with a design thinking approach. Data were collected through interview techniques, observation, and documentation studies. The selection of informants was carried out using purposive sampling techniques. Data obtained will then be analyzed using the interactive model technique from Miles & Huberman. This study recommends the ethno-ecotourism model as a culturally appropriate and sustainable tourism approach for the Baduy region. Through the design thinking process, a prototype model was developed and translated into a policy recommendation tailored to the Baduy context. Future testing is needed to evaluate the model’s alignment with community needs, and its implementation requires collaboration within a quadruple helix framework involving government, academia, communities, and media. However, despite its potential, the ethno-ecotourism model faces critical limitations, particularly in ensuring genuine community participation in decision-making. Studies show that top-down governance often marginalizes local voices, leading to a gap between projected and realized benefits.

Abstract

Employee performance is a critical factor in ensuring service quality within the hospitality industry, particularly in luxury resort settings where expectations are high. However, limited research has examined how internal organizational factors influence performance in this context. This study aims to examine the effect of work motivation, work environment, and organizational culture on employee performance at Maya Ubud Resort and Spa in Bali. A quantitative method was employed, using data collected from employees with a minimum of two years of tenure through a structured questionnaire. The results indicate that work motivation and work environment both have a positive and significant impact on employee performance, while organizational culture does not show a significant direct effect. The model developed in this study explains approximately 82% of the variance in employee performance. These findings suggest that enhancing motivation and improving work conditions are essential for boosting employee effectiveness. Although organizational culture did not exhibit a direct influence, its potential long-term or indirect effects may be relevant for further study. The research offers practical insights for human resource development in the hospitality sector, particularly in designing strategies that align internal organizational factors with employee performance improvement goals.
