Abstract

The emergence of plant-based foods has sparked a global shift towards sustainable and healthier dietary choices. This paper explores the development and introduction of a novel vegan sausage into the Indonesian market. Utilizing locally sourced tofu as the primary ingredient, this sausage aims to cater to the growing demand for plant-based alternatives while addressing sustainability concerns within the food industry. Incorporating a taste enhancer from the Korean company, Cheil Jedang Food & Nutrition Technology (CJ FNT), which initiated this endeavor as a competitive challenge, enhances the flavor profile of the sausage, making it appealing to a wide range of consumers. Through a combination of market analysis, nutritional evaluation, and sensory testing, this paper examines the feasibility and potential impact of introducing such a product in Indonesia. By highlighting the benefits of plant-based diets for both personal health and environmental sustainability, this study contributes to the promotion of sustainable food practices in emerging markets Keywords: plant based food, sausage, sustainability, food industry

Abstract

Child marriage remains a problem in Indonesia, despite the practice being banned in various international agreements and national regulations. Indonesia even ranks among the 10 counties with the highest prevalence of child marriage. As such, addressing this issue is important, particularly in fulfilling Indonesia’s commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This thesis explores the cooperation between Plan Indonesia and the local government of Sukabumi and West Lombok through the Gema Cita program, which aims to combat child marriage. The study uses the theories of liberal institutionalism and international regimes to explore the strategies, challenges, and impact of this cooperation and how it fulfills the SDGs, particularly Target 5.3. The study used a qualitative case study approach and gathered primary and secondary data. The result shows that the SDGs, as an international regime, shape Indonesia’s national policies and local initiatives such as Gema Cita in addressing child marriage. Gema Cita’s strategy includes a comprehensive approach that effectively engages adolescents, schools, and communities to create sustainable effort against child marriage. The program’s strategy also aligns closely with Indonesia’s National Strategy on the Prevention of Child Marriage (STRANAS PPA). Despite facing various challenges, such as low awareness of child marriage and lack of support in the community, the program demonstrated effectiveness in raising awareness, support, and influencing policy changes in the areas. The roles and responsibilities of Plan Indonesia and the local government contribute to the program’s success. Plan Indonesia’s focus on capacity building, advocacy, and evaluating complements the local government’s role in formalizing agreements, enforcing policies, and coordinating efforts. The findings suggest that such cooperation is important for child marriage prevention program like Gema Cita.

Abstract

The establishment of AUKUS alliance in 2021 has resulted in substantial shifts in the geopolitical and security landscape of the Indo Pacific region, especially for ASEAN member states. This study examines the effects and consequences of AUKUS on ASEAN member states, focusing on its impact on regional security frameworks, geopolitical alignments, and the strategic responses of ASEAN member states. Through qualitative research, the study investigates how AUKUS is affecting the balance of power in the Indo-Pacific and challenging each ASEAN member states role as a central player in regional security discussions.

Divergent reactions among member states highlight the fragmentation of ASEAN's unified stance, with some viewing AUKUS as a counterbalance to China's assertiveness and others perceiving it as a destabilizing factor. This research underscores the need for each ASEAN members to adapt its strategies to maintain relevance and unity amid evolving geopolitical landscapes. By addressing the challenges brought by AUKUS, this thesis offers valuable insights into the security and geopolitical complexities ASEAN member states faces in the rapidly changing Indo-Pacific region.

Abstract

This research study investigates the influence of culture and personality traits on financial literacy, employing the Hofstede Cultural Dimensions framework and the big five personality traits as theoretical foundations. Specifically, the research aims to analyze the impact of cultural aspects of Indulgence, Long-Term Orientation, and Uncertainty Avoidance, alongside the personality traits of openness and conscientiousness, on various dimensions of financial literacy. Utilizing structural equation modelling analysis, the study reveals that that culture had an insignificant direct impact on individuals' financial literacy, while showing its significant indirect influence through mediating factors, such as personality traits. In contrast, personality traits, exhibited a significant and positive influence on financial literacy. The study underscores the need for a multifaceted approach to enhancing financial education, addressing both direct and indirect factors, which is likely to be more effective in promoting financial literacy among individuals. Keywords: culture, Hofstede Cultural Dimensions, personality traits, financial literacy
