Abstract

This article explains the factors influencing community resource mobilization in achieving sustainable poverty alleviation focusing on Dao households in Vietnam. It found that two factors influenced community resource mobilization to help Dao households sustainably escape poverty focuses on two dimensions: internal and external factors. Internal factors include education level, occupation, skills, experience, the number of healthy workers in the household, and the household's physical capital resources. External factors encompass broader influences such as state policies and support from state organizations and non-governmental organizations. While internal factors are crucial in determining the ability to mobilize community resources, external factors, though not decisive, play a significant role in facilitating the mobilization of these resources to support the Dao people in Thanh Hoa in achieving sustainable poverty alleviation. This study contributes to the study on how poverty should be alleviated in communal levels in Asia with a special reference to Vietnam.

Abstract

In Bangladesh, it is common for working women to experience increased concerns about the safety and well-being of their children after childbirth. This study aims to examine the impact of childcare facilities on the occupational productivity of employed women in Bangladesh, specifically within Dhaka City. A quantitative research approach was utilized, with statistical analyses including frequency distribution, descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, and a chi-square test. The results of the chi-square test (p<0.05) demonstrated a significant relationship between the availability of childcare center facilities and the job performance of working mothers. The study found that most participants believed that reliable childcare facilities positively influenced their work-life balance. These findings offer valuable insights for policymakers, highlighting the need for more reliable childcare facilities in Dhaka City to enhance the active participation of working mothers in the workforce and their ability to deliver high-quality performance. While the past decade has seen considerable research on women's empowerment and increasing female representation in the labor market, this study is the first to specifically address the impact of childcare center facilities on the workplace performance of working mothers.

Abstract

This paper examines the evolving dynamics within the traditional community of Benda Kerep, Cirebon, as they navigate the pressures of modernization. Employing a qualitative methodology with a descriptive-analytical approach grounded in historical perspective, the study undertakes the following steps: topic selection, heuristics (data collection), source criticism (verification), interpretation (data analysis), and historiography (writing). Findings reveal that the residents of Benda Kerep maintain a strong commitment to their ancestral teachings, customs, and traditions. However, since the 1990s, they have also selectively integrated modern ideas and technologies. For instance, they have embraced modern education systems alongside traditional pesantren-based learning and utilized contemporary technologies in their rituals and ceremonies, such as Muludan, Haulan, and Shawalan. This duality highlights their adaptive strategies in preserving cultural heritage while engaging with modernity.

Abstract

This study explores the career ladder experiences of female professors in Islamic higher education institutions in Indonesia. The experiences of Indonesian female academics are distinct compared to their counterparts worldwide, as they face unique challenges in attaining higher academic positions such as associate professor or professor. Female academics in Indonesia are often perceived as less productive in research and publication, hold fewer leadership roles, achieve lower academic ranks, and earn significantly less than their male peers. Employing a feminist research methodology, this study aims to amplify women’s voices and advocate for their advancement to higher positions. Through qualitative interviews and analysis using Miles and Huberman’s model, the study examines the lived experiences of female academics operating within the constraints of a new managerialism framework. The findings highlight a feminist perspective that is rarely acknowledged in the discourse on higher education in Indonesia. Drawing on Mohanty’s postcolonial feminist framework, the study celebrates the resilience and contributions of non-Western women while shedding light on the systemic barriers they face. Indonesian Muslim female academics report enduring gender bias, limited opportunities for leadership, and cultural norms that prioritize familial responsibilities over professional growth. These challenges restrict their potential and diminish their contributions to academia and research. This study serves as a critical call to address the structural inequities and cultural dynamics that hinder the progress of women in academia.

Abstract

This study explores the development of more equitable and humane regulations for addressing personal drug misuse in Indonesia, emphasizing a humanist perspective and the principles of restorative justice. Employing a normative legal research methodology, the study critically examines Articles 111–127 of Law Number 35 of 2009 on Narcotics. It also incorporates a comparative analysis of drug policies in countries that have successfully implemented decriminalization and mandatory rehabilitation, such as the Netherlands and Portugal. The findings highlight the limitations of Indonesia's repressive approach, which often exacerbates social marginalization and fails to address the root causes of addiction. In contrast, the rehabilitative models adopted by the Netherlands and Portugal have proven more effective in reducing the negative impacts of drug abuse and fostering reintegration into society. To alleviate the burden on the criminal justice system and promote a more inclusive society, this study recommends legislative reforms that prioritize social rehabilitation and reintegration over punitive measures. These changes aim to shift Indonesia's drug policy toward a more compassionate and effective framework, balancing public health, social equity, and justice.

Abstract

In Bangladesh, some groups seek economic or social advantages by claiming ethnic identities to which they are not entitled. This paper examines such claims, focusing on the identity challenges faced by the Manipuri community due to competing claims from the Bishnupriya. Despite clear distinctions in linguistic, historical, and cultural origins, as recognized in the literature, the Bishnupriya community asserts a Manipuri identity, creating tensions and contestations. The Manipuri, known as Meetei locally and internationally, are one of the recognized ethnic groups in Bangladesh. However, their identity is increasingly contested by the Bishnupriya, whose claims lack alignment with established definitions of Manipuri ethnicity. Although this issue is significant for the Manipuri community, it remains underexplored in Bangladeshi scholarship. This study addresses the gap using qualitative methods, including in-depth interviews and participatory observations, complemented by secondary sources and scholarly research. The findings highlight the complexity of ethnic identity construction and its implications for minority communities in Bangladesh.

Abstract

This study explores the perceptions of becak (three-wheeled motorcycle taxis) drivers in Aceh regarding the implementation and enforcement of Sharia law, offering insights into the interplay between religious governance and its influence on social order, morality, and justice. Drawing on in-depth interviews with 30 drivers from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, the research reveals a complex relationship between the symbolic authority of Sharia law and community compliance. While many participants view the law as a representation of public discipline and Aceh's religious heritage, they frequently critique it as being largely symbolic and ineffective in fostering genuine moral transformation. Thematic analysis identifies key concerns, including superficial compliance, inconsistent enforcement, and perceived injustices, which collectively undermine public confidence in the law. To address these challenges, the study introduces the theory of Symbolic- Compliance Dynamics, which highlights the disjunction between external adherence to regulations and internal moral commitment. The findings suggest that a community-centered approach emphasizing fairness, consistent application, and meaningful moral education is essential for achieving more substantive outcomes. While these results are specific to Aceh, they provide a foundation for further research on the societal impacts of Sharia law in other regions and contexts.

Abstract

Naxalism remains one of India’s most pressing internal security challenges. Emerging from the Naxalbari uprising in 1967, it has developed into a multifaceted insurgency driven by radical ideology, entrenched socioeconomic inequalities, and governance failures. This study examines the historical roots, ideological underpinnings, geographic spread, and structural conditions sustaining the movement. It also evaluates state responses, including counterinsurgency operations, development programs, and attempts to address underlying grievances. Despite prolonged efforts, Naxalism continues to undermine India’s democratic institutions and socioeconomic stability by occupying the developmental vacuum in affected areas. While the state’s approach has been predominantly security-focused, recent initiatives—such as those in Andhra Pradesh—indicate a possible shift toward more inclusive strategies. This paper argues for a comprehensive national policy that integrates security, development, and political dialogue to achieve sustainable peace and avoid the consequences of excessive militarization.

Abstract

This paper explores the historical ties between Indonesia and Malaysia by tracing the European pursuit of spices, which led to colonial domination in the region. Central to this history is the strategic role of the Strait of Malacca as a vital corridor for trade and cultural exchange, and the significance of Ternate's spices as a highly valued commodity. These interactions brought together diverse ethnic groups—including Malay and European traders—forming a foundation of cooperation that can inspire present and future relations. Following the end of colonialism, Indonesia and Malaysia, as part of the broader Malay world, embarked on a quest for national and collective identity. Shared cultural, linguistic, historical, and religious ties offer valuable social capital that can be leveraged to foster deeper regional collaboration. This paper argues that revisiting and revitalizing shared historical narratives—especially through joint academic, civil society, and community-based initiatives—can enhance mutual understanding and cooperation. In an increasingly globalized world, drawing on this common past can contribute to building a more stable and integrated future for Indonesia, Malaysia, and the wider Malay world.

Abstract

This study explores the influence of learning the Korean language and culture on students’ perceptions of social issues in South Korea. Drawing on the theory of cultural relativism in language acquisition and intercultural understanding, this quantitative research employed an online survey administered to 28 students enrolled in Korean language courses at Gadjah Mada University, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The participants came from diverse academic backgrounds and demonstrated varying levels of Korean proficiency. Data were analysed using T-tests and linear regression, with interpretation supported by relevant literature. The results indicate a significant positive correlation: students with higher proficiency in Korean language and culture exhibited greater awareness and understanding of South Korean social issues. This suggests that language and cultural education can enhance international awareness and empathy. Despite offering valuable insights, the study has certain limitations, including potential self-reporting bias and its general focus on broad social issues rather than specific topics such as workplace dynamics. Nonetheless, the findings are relevant for language educators, policymakers, and students seeking to deepen their cross-cultural competence.
