Abstract

Folklore represents an important form of intangible cultural heritage that preserves collective memory, cultural identity, and values transmitted across generations. However, rapid modernization and changing patterns of cultural transmission have created challenges for the sustainability of local oral traditions. One cultural heritage that requires documentation and deeper examination is the Resakusuma Banyakprada folklore in Ngreco Village, Weru District, Sukoharjo Regency, Central Java Province. This study aimed to describe the forms, structures, functions, and values contained in the Resakusuma Banyakprada folklore and to examine its role in community life. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach using a folklore study method. Data were collected through direct observation, interviews with local community members, and literature reviews. Data analysis was conducted using an interactive analysis model consisting of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification, with data validity ensured through triangulation. The results showed that the Resakusuma Banyakprada folklore functioned as a medium for maintaining local identity, transmitting cultural knowledge, strengthening social relationships, and preserving community values. The folklore contained religious values, social values, historical values, aesthetic values, and moral values reflected through narratives, traditions, community practices, and the Gedong Ngreco cultural site. The study concluded that the Resakusuma Banyakprada folklore was not merely a traditional story but a living cultural heritage that connected oral traditions, material heritage, and social values. Preservation efforts and further interdisciplinary studies are needed to ensure its continuity for future generations.

Abstract

Cia Peng An is a blessing food from the temple that is distributed to the community. However, at the Tridharma Awareness Temple in Cilaku Village, Tenjo Subdistrict, Bogor Regency, this food is reportedly discarded by some worshippers. This study aims to examine the phenomenon of food waste behavior related to Cia Peng An among temple worshippers. Employing a qualitative method with an interpretive paradigm, data were collected through field observations and in-depth interviews with fifteen informants selected using a snowball sampling technique. Interpretive analysis was conducted by examining the phenomenon through phenomenological, commodification, and reception theory perspectives. The findings reveal six interconnected factors contributing to food waste: excessive food portions without consideration of personal capacity as the dominant factor, incompatibility of taste or health conditions, limited awareness of food as a sacred blessing, technical factors arising from excessive food variety, children’s age-related factors due to insufficient supervision, and the weakening of Tridharma cultural values. The food waste process occurs when worshippers are unable to finish their portions, resulting in discarded food being disposed of through incineration, while some remaining food is processed as animal feed. This phenomenon generates a social stigma of redundancy, leads to the inefficient use of temple funds amounting to Rp800,000–Rp1,000,000 per activity, contributes to environmental impacts, and diminishes spiritual values, including the transmission of wasteful consumption behavior to children who imitate adult practices. This study concludes that normative guidance, the revitalization of harvest thanksgiving rituals, and the development of integrated food waste management facilities are needed to restore collective awareness regarding the sacredness and value of food.

Abstract

China’s expanding role in global governance has intensified debates over whether its principle of non-intervention limits power or represents a distinctive mode of exercising influence. This study aimed to explain how China’s non-intervention operates as a form of governmentality through BRICS, particularly through the concepts of sovereignty, consensus, institutional flexibility, and national responsibility. Using a qualitative approach, the research combined a genealogical perspective with Michel Foucault’s governmentality framework. Primary data consisted of BRICS summit declarations, institutional documents, speeches by Chinese leaders, and foreign policy documents published between 2014 and 2024, while secondary data included relevant books and scholarly literature. The findings showed that non-intervention functioned not as the absence of power but as a technology of government that structured the conditions under which states exercised freedom. Through BRICS, China advanced its influence by promoting sovereign equality, consensus-based decision-making, financing without political conditionality, national ownership, and institutional flexibility. These mechanisms encouraged compliance without overt coercion while preserving the formal agency of member states. The study concluded that China governed at a political distance by organizing institutional environments in which sovereignty and freedom became mediums of power, making non-intervention a productive rationality for shaping global order. This interpretation reframed China’s rise beyond conventional models of domination.

Abstract

Infrastructure investment is essential for regional economic growth; however, the implementation of Indonesia’s Job Creation Law in archipelagic regions such as Maluku presents legal and regulatory challenges. This study aimed to examine the legal framework governing infrastructure investment under Law Number 6 of 2023 and formulate a more responsive legal reconstruction that accommodates the geographical, ecological, and socio-cultural characteristics of the Maluku Islands. The study employed a normative juridical method using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. Primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials were collected through literature reviews and analyzed qualitatively through legal interpretation and argumentation. The findings showed that risk-based business licensing, land acquisition, and environmental protection provisions remained oriented toward mainland conditions and inadequately addressed small-island ecosystem vulnerability, regional isolation, customary law, and communal land rights. The Banda Neira Port case demonstrated that these regulatory weaknesses contributed to legal uncertainty, land conflicts, project delays, and environmental risks. The study concluded that legal reform should incorporate an archipelagic ecosystem vulnerability index and a regional isolation index, strengthen customary deliberation mechanisms in land acquisition processes, provide compensation that reflects the social and cultural values of communal land, and require Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) for infrastructure projects affecting ecologically sensitive island and coastal areas to ensure equitable development.

Abstract

Romania’s integration into the European Union has faced growing challenges from populist and Eurosceptic groups that frame EU membership as a threat to sovereignty, economic security, and national identity. This study examined President Klaus Werner Iohannis’s political communication in defending Romania’s EU membership and formulated an integrative attribution-based communication model. Using a constructivist paradigm, the research applied a qualitative case-study method and a transdisciplinary approach combining political communication, political science, international relations, and media studies. Data were analyzed using Kelley’s covariation attribution theory, van Dijk’s discourse structure analysis, concepts of populism, and EU values. The findings showed that Iohannis consistently constructed a pro-EU and Euro-Atlantic narrative by emphasizing democracy, human rights, security, prosperity, and institutional cooperation. An analysis of 45 Twitter posts from July 2021 to January 2022 indicated that 40% focused on EU cooperation, 42% addressed bilateral, regional, and multilateral relations aligned with EU policies, 13% focused on the United States, and 4% concerned NATO. His communication reflected low consensus, high consistency, and low distinctiveness, indicating strong internal attribution. The study concluded that Strategic Political Communication Attribution could help explain how political leaders counter populist narratives while sustaining international integration agendas and reinforcing public support for Romania’s long-term European political orientation and stability.

Abstract

The rapid growth of e-commerce in Indonesia has transformed consumer transactions by increasing accessibility, efficiency, and market connectivity. However, this digital transformation has also generated complex legal challenges, including consumer data protection risks, misleading commercial practices, unclear dispute resolution mechanisms, and limited accountability among digital business actors. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of consumer legal protection in Indonesian e-commerce transactions and analyze the role of digital governance and regulatory accountability in strengthening consumer rights. A normative juridical approach was employed using statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. Data were collected through an analysis of relevant regulations, legal documents, academic literature, and policy frameworks related to consumer protection, electronic transactions, and digital governance. The findings indicated that although Indonesia had established several legal instruments, including the Consumer Protection Law and electronic transaction regulations, the existing framework remained fragmented and faced challenges in enforcement, cross-border transaction supervision, platform responsibility, and consumer dispute resolution. Strengthening digital governance through regulatory coordination, transparency obligations for e-commerce platforms, effective monitoring mechanisms, and enhanced institutional accountability is essential to creating a more responsive consumer protection system. This study concluded that consumer legal protection in Indonesian e-commerce requires a shift from a conventional regulatory approach toward an integrated digital governance model that emphasizes preventive regulation, shared responsibility among stakeholders, and adaptive legal mechanisms. The findings contribute to the development of consumer protection policies by providing a framework for balancing technological innovation, business growth, and consumer rights within the digital economy.
