Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of PKBI Riau in referring Female Sex Workers (FSWs) to Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) HIV services in Pekanbaru. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through interviews and program documentation. The analysis refers to Zubaedi's (2005) NGO role theory, which includes facilitative, educational, technical, and representative roles. The results showed that PKBI Riau successfully connected FWs with health services through a personal approach, building trust, and providing structured referrals. The program even exceeded its target, with 1,759 FWs successfully undergoing HIV testing. This success shows PKBI Riau's ability to reach marginalized groups who have difficulty accessing formal services. However, the study also found that follow-up treatment for FWs who were detected with HIV still needs to be strengthened so that continuity of services can be maintained. In conclusion, NGOs such as PKBI Riau play an important role as strategic partners of the government in providing public services, especially for vulnerable groups who are often marginalized by the formal health system, so that collaboration with NGOs can increase the effectiveness of public health programs.

Abstract

The phenomenon of thuggery in Indonesia is a complex problem that is rooted in the socio-political and economic structure of this country. This article aims to analyze the relationship between thuggery and political parties, as well as examine its impact on Indonesia's investment climate and global competitiveness. The research was conducted with a qualitative-descriptive approach, using secondary data obtained from literature studies, international agency reports, the latest government policy analysis, and equipped with a systematic luterature review (SLR) on related themes. The findings of the study show that thuggery evolved from a long history from the colonial era to the reform period, with a pattern of close relationships between thugs and political elites through networks of patronage and political clientelism. Thuggery is also used intensively as a tool of mass mobilization and an instrument of intimidation in electoral competitions. The impact on the investment climate is significant, as it creates additional costs in the form of illegal levies and intimidation, lowers investor confidence, and weakens Indonesia's competitiveness compared to neighboring countries such as Vietnam, Malaysia, and Thailand. The government has implemented a number of important policies, including the establishment of the Thugs Task Force by President Prabowo Subianto in May 2025, to overcome thuggery and create better stability for the business world. However, major challenges are still faced such as the involvement of officials, strong networks of thugs, and weak community participation. This article recommends strengthening synergy between the government, law enforcement, the business world, and the wider community through regulatory reform, increased transparency, and strict supervision. This step is expected to effectively reduce the negative impact of thuggery, improve the investment climate, and lift Indonesia's global competitiveness in the long term.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze how China's space program is used as a strategic instrument in enhancing geopolitical power in the Indo-Pacific region in the 2018-2024 period. Using a qualitative approach and astropolitical theory, this study explores four main indicators: space technology mastery, space resource utilization, international cooperation, and space asset protection. The results show that China has achieved significant progress through the successful Chang'e exploration mission, the construction of the Tiangong space station, and the BeiDou navigation system that competes directly with the United States' GPS. In addition, China is actively forging space partnerships with developing countries and engaging in multilateral projects such as the International Lunar Research Station (ILRS). The exploration and utilization of resources such as helium-3 on the Moon marks a long-term strategic orientation in energy and technology. On the other hand, the strengthening of situational awareness systems in space and the potential for space defense demonstrate China's seriousness in safeguarding its strategic assets. In conclusion, China's space program not only reflects scientific progress, but is also a tool of diplomacy and power projection in the Indo-Pacific.

Abstract

Tlocor Maritime Tourism Village is one of the tourism potentials being developed in Sidoarjo Regency. In its development, Kedungpandan Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDES) has an important role in managing and mobilizing community participation. This study aims to analyze the role of BUMDES in the development of tourist villages using three indicators, namely: conscientization, community organizing, and resources delivery. The approach used in this research is descriptive qualitative. Data collection techniques were conducted through interviews, observation, and documentation, and analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing.The results showed that in the aspect of awareness, BUMDES has attempted to raise community awareness of tourism potential through socialization and direct involvement. In the aspect of community organizing, BUMDES forms a systematic business unit structure and involves residents in operational management. Meanwhile, in the aspect of human resource delivery, BUMDES creates jobs and organizes training, although it is not yet comprehensive for all business actors. Constraints include the lack of income stability for workers and limited technical training. Nonetheless, the role of BUMDES in tourism village development has contributed significantly to economic independence and increased community participation.

Abstract

This paper analyzes the dynamics of Islamic populism in post-Reform Indonesia using a political economy approach. Islamic populism is understood as a response to political marginalization and economic inequality experienced by Muslims from the colonial era to the present. This phenomenon not only manifests in electoral contests through the mobilization of religious identity but also in the form of hijrah movements and Islamic popular culture targeting the urban middle class. Drawing on literature concerning the historical marginalization of Islamic politics, electoral dynamics, and religious expression in cultural and digital spaces, this study shows that Islamic populism is often exploited by oligarchic elites as a symbolic political mobilization strategy. Islamic identity is commodified and channeled through market logic, rendering it an instrument that reinforces the status quo rather than a transformative force. Therefore, Islamic populism represents structural grievances of the Muslim community that are utilized by dominant powers, rather than a movement capable of substantively addressing social inequality.

Abstract

This research examines the patron-client relationship between politicians and bureaucrats in the implementation of the simultaneous regional elections in North Buton Regency in 2024, focusing on the influence of patronage patterns on bureaucratic politicisation and the dynamics of political support in the regional bureaucracy. The main objective of the research is to reveal patterns of patronage, forms of bureaucratic politicisation, and their impact on governance during the Pilkada process. The method used is a qualitative case study approach, with data collection through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data were analysed using the Miles and Huberman model and thematic analysis techniques to identify patterns and main themes. The main findings reveal the formation of two patronage axes that split the bureaucracy into two competing political forces, where bureaucrats' loyalties are strongly influenced by patron-client relationships based on merit and political dependence. The politicisation of the bureaucracy is visible through the practice of abuse of authority, politicisation of social assistance programs, project distribution, recruitment of honorary employees, and transactional promotions. This finding is important because it illustrates how a strong patronage culture is a serious obstacle to bureaucratic professionalism and accountable local governance, as well as providing strategic recommendations for bureaucratic reform and strengthening ASN neutrality in local democracy.

Abstract

Land conflict in the coal mining area of PT. Bara Energi Lestari in Gampong Alue Buloh, Seunagan District, Nagan Raya Regency, shows the complexity that involves various interests of the community and companies. This research aims to identify effective conflict resolution strategies through a qualitative approach with case studies. Data was obtained from literature studies and in-depth interviews with citizens, company representatives, and government officials. Ralf Dahrendorf's conflict theory is used to analyze the dynamics of power relations between the actors involved. The results of the study show that conflicts are resolved through mediation facilitated by the police, involving the community and the company. An agreement was reached on the priority of recruiting workers from local residents and transparency in the use of corporate social responsibility (CSR) funds. This strategy emphasizes the importance of active community participation, information disclosure, and long-term commitment from all parties. A dialogical and collaborative approach has been shown to be more effective in reducing tensions, building trust, and creating sustainable solutions. These findings recommend the need to strengthen local mediation mechanisms in resolving agrarian conflicts in industrial areas, especially those related to mining.
