This presentation had several goals. The first was to provide a sense of the ways in which the field of Southeast Asia studies, especially history, has developed during my own career, especially during the 1960s. A second goal was to address the tension between country-based history and comparisons across the region. Third, I described the decline in Southeast Asian studies in the 1980s and 90s and the new questions that arose as global histories assumed greater prominence. A fourth goal was to highlight the rise of women’s history, although this tended to focus on the late 19th and 20th centuries. The identification of the early modern period as a focus of historical interest opened a door to thinking comparatively about the role of women during a time of regional change. The talk ended with comments about the apparent decline of history in the United States and the expectation that the study of the past, so fundamental to national and regional identities, will be maintained in Southeast Asia.

Abstract: This study examines state sovereignty in the regulation of the impact of foreign product trade, specifically analyzing Indonesia's strategic steps toward the existence of TikTok Shop through the issuance of Ministry of Trade Regulation No. 31 of 2023. State sovereignty is recognized as full authority that cannot be interfered with by foreign powers, serving as the basis for international interactions. The TikTok Shop phenomenon reflects the optimization of online buying and selling, facilitating transaction processes. The role of social media, especially TikTok, plays a significant part in enhancing business performance, particularly for small businesses. However, the Indonesian government responded by closing TikTok Shop to protect micro, small, and medium enterprises and user data. Purpose: This research aims to analyze the conflict of interest between the state and social media platforms that provide trading services, as well as the establishment of strategic steps as an expression of state sovereignty in regulating all forms of trade in Indonesia, particularly through the case of the closure of TikTok Shop in Indonesia. Design/Methodology/Approach: This research is descriptive qualitative. The primary data analyzed were obtained from legal instruments such as legislation, ministerial regulations, and similar official rules issued by the government. The secondary data consisted of articles collectively obtained to gain an understanding of the causes, effects, and implications of the closure of TikTok Shop as a consequence of state sovereignty in regulating trade within the country. Findings: The results of the study indicate that in a global context, international cooperation remains important, and Indonesia strives to maintain its national legal sovereignty while contributing to global digital trade standards. In the face of various perspectives and impacts, the closure of TikTok Shop is interpreted as a governmental measure to protect national interests and exercise its legal sovereignty. Originality/value: This study makes a significant contribution to the existing literature by exploring the dynamics between state sovereignty and digital trade regulation in the context of Indonesia. It emphasizes the importance of balancing national legal sovereignty with participation in global digital trade standards, offering valuable insights for policymakers and academics in understanding the implications of trade regulation in the digital era.

Abstract: Bureaucratic reform aims to improve and enhance the quality of public services. One approach to achieving this is by adopting a dynamic approach to governance. This approach focuses on dynamic governance. One example of bureaucratic reform in administrative services in Indonesia is in East Java, specifically in Surabaya. In Surabaya, the Dispendukcapil handles administrative population registration. The Surabaya city government needs to adopt the dynamic governance concept as a governance framework. This concept enables the government and its policies to adapt to uncertain situations and the various changes that occur, with the goal of ensuring that government policies remain relevant, effective, and efficient for long-term objectives. However, the current challenge lies in the increasingly advanced technology, while the population in Surabaya remains diverse, making it a challenge for Dispendukcapil Surabaya to improve services that can be accessed by all segments of Surabaya’s population. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the Bureaucratic Reform in Dispendukcapil Surabaya. Design/Methodology/Approach: This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach. The focus of this study is based on the theory of Dynamic Governance. The data sources for this research consist of primary and secondary data. Data collection techniques include interviews, observations, and documentation. The data analysis techniques involve data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and data verification. Findings: In this case, the bureaucratic reform in the Dispendukcapil based on the Dynamic Governance approach has seen some progress. In the context of "Thinking Ahead," Dispendukcapil has implemented technological adaptation plans for the next five years. Regarding "Thinking Again," Dispendukcapil has set goals and objectives to improve public service effectiveness, enhance accountability, and strengthen administrative services. Lastly, "Thinking Across" in Dispendukcapil Surabaya involves deploying staff throughout Surabaya to assist citizens who do not have mobile phones, the elderly, and those facing various other challenges. Originality/value: No previous studies have addressed the issues examined in this research. This study specifically investigates the Bureaucratic Reform in the Dispendukcapil Surabaya.

Abstract: The quest for fast wealth acquisition through internet fraud among the Nigerian youth has become a common lifestyle. That education among the Nigerian youth is considered a scam, given the poor economic level of the country and the inability to secure a job after graduation. Although several laws prohibit internet fraud in Nigeria, there seems to be a surge of internet fraud and a setback in educational focus among the Nigerian youth. However, Indonesia though has similar challenges but has been able to surmount and curtail incidences of fraud. Purpose: In this regard, this study tends to examine the menace of internet fraud in shackling the Nigerian youth from an educational focus and how the Nigerian government can learn from the Indonesian experience in curbing the incidence of fraud through legal and educational policy. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study adopts a doctrinal method of study; primary and secondary sources of authority were relied on in sourcing for data. The data obtained was analysed using a descriptive and analytical method of study. Findings: The study therefore found that the prevalence of internet fraud among Nigerian youth is as a result of unemployment, poverty, poor educational policy, and the syndrome of getting rich quickly through internet fraud. The study further found that the educational process among Nigerian youth has been severely affected due to the prevalence of internet fraud. Also, it was also revealed that the Indonesian government through effective legal, educational, and socio-economic policy has been able to curtail the incidence of internet fraud among its youths. Originality/value: The study therefore contributes to the existing body of knowledge as it concerns curtailing the incidence of fraud and enhancing education. Furthermore, the study also achieves a high focus on education among the Nigerian youth by identifying the fact that the Nigerian government needs to incorporate the Indonesian government's legal and educational policy that tends to promote education among its youth. This will also result in a cross-cultural ideology in resolving the menace of internet fraud.

Abstract: Stunting is a growth and developmental disorder in children caused by several factors, including poor nutrition, recurrent infections, and inadequate psychosocial stimulation. Children are considered stunted if their height-for-age is more than two standard deviations below the median of the Child Growth Standards. Despite efforts, stunting among children under five years old persists in Surabaya. Therefore, the Surabaya City Government, in collaboration with medical professionals, is actively working to treat and prevent stunting to achieve the goal of Zero Stunting in Surabaya. The role of the community is crucial in eradicating stunting among young children to foster a stunting-free golden generation in Surabaya. Purpose: The objective of this study is to describe the forms of community participation under Mayor Regulation No. 79 of 2022 concerning the Acceleration of Stunting Reduction in Surabaya. Design/Methodology/Approach: The research method employs a survey methodology to collect data. This study gathers information from primary sources, obtained directly from the surveyed subjects, and secondary sources, which include existing data and literature relevant to the research topic. Findings: The research findings indicate that community participation in Surabaya is present and commendable, although it is not yet fully optimal. While several participation indicators show positive results, such as participation in labor, material contributions, social involvement, and skills, there is still a need for improvement in the participation of ideas, particularly in providing input or suggestions related to stunting reduction programs. Therefore, increased community engagement is necessary to achieve the goal of Surabaya Zero Stunting. Originality/value: This study has several distinctions in terms of focus, theme, and research location. It will examine community participation within the context of Surabaya Mayor Regulation No. 79 of 2022 concerning the Acceleration of Stunting Reduction in Surabaya.

Abstract: The phenomenon of "empty box" ballots in Indonesia's regional head elections (Pilkada) reflects public dissatisfaction with single candidates endorsed by political party coalitions. This highlights challenges within the local democratic system, which may hinder political participation and contribute to social instability. Purpose: This research aims to understand how the phenomenon of "empty box" ballots reflects the practice of political cartelization in Indonesia, as well as to explore the factors contributing to the emergence of single candidates and large coalitions in elections. Design/Methodology/Approach: The methodology employed in this research includes a qualitative analysis of national and local political dynamics, as well as an observation of voter behavior in the context of regional elections (Pilkada). The study also examines the implications of the "empty box" phenomenon for democratization and political representation at the regional level. Findings: The research findings indicate that the "empty box" phenomenon is not merely a matter of failed elections but also reflects a crisis of public trust in political institutions. Deep dissatisfaction with the available candidates has the potential to trigger radicalization and protest movements. Furthermore, the dominance of major political parties in candidate nomination disregards local aspirations, creating conditions where the nominated candidates fail to reflect the diversity of the community. Originality/value: This research offers new insights into the relationship between the "empty box" phenomenon and political cartelization practices in Indonesia, emphasizing the need for electoral system reforms to create a more inclusive space for public participation. By enhancing political awareness and strengthening smaller political parties, it is hoped that public dissatisfaction can be reduced, and the legitimacy of the political system can be improved.

Abstract: The Constitutional Court has four primary areas of authority as stipulated in the 1945 Constitution, namely, reviewing legislation against the constitution, resolving disputes of authority among state institutions, dissolving political parties, and determining the results of general elections. Although the MK serves as the guardian and enforcer of the constitution, concerns have arisen that it may overstep its authority by acting as a positive legislator, a role that should be reserved for the legislative and executive branches. The importance of the separation of powers and a system of checks and balances is emphasized to prevent the MK from making unconstitutional decisions. Furthermore, the constitution should be understood as a living law within society, capable of evolving alongside social and political developments. Thus, the MK must adhere to its established authority to avoid disrupting the legal order and justice in Indonesia. This article aims to provide insight into the challenges faced by the MK in preserving the purity and integrity of Indonesia's legal system.

Abstract: The revision of Law Number 7 of 2020, concerning the Third Amendment, to Law Number 24 of 2003, concerning the Constitutional Court, has sparked controversy in the community. Where the substance of the regulation since the first revision until now has always seemed to only tinker with the technical realm and the periodisation of the term of office of MK judges. The public has drawn attention to the closed and hasty nature of the formulation process. This has given rise to a long debate among the community regarding the potential threat to judicial independence, where the changes made are considered to be able to influence the decision-making process of MK judges. In the context of a state of law, changes to the regulation of the term of office of MK judges should consider the principles of justice and transparency to maintain the integrity of the judicial institution. To make sure that the judicial power can work independently and objectively, in line with democratic values, it is important to have rules that are clear and fair. Open and collaborative dialogue between the government, legislative institutions, and civil society is essential to creating regulations that are not only technical but also reflect the aspirations of the community and uphold the principles of justice and transparency as studied in the concept of a state of law. Purpose: This research aims to comprehensively analyse how the current MK judges' tenure arrangements are based on the principles of the rule of law. This research study explores the legal framework governing the tenure of MK judges, as well as the implications of these arrangements for the independence and accountability of the judicial institution. In addition, this study is expected to provide an in-depth analysis of legal issues related to the tenure of MK judges. Design/Methodology/Approach: This study is a normative legal analysis focused on identifying relevant legal rules, principles, and doctrines to address pressing legal issues. To achieve this, the research employs several methodologies, including a legislative approach, a conceptual approach, and a case-based approach. By utilizing these diverse methods, the research aims to thoroughly examine the implications of the current regulations governing the terms of office for MK judges on the principles of independence and accountability. These principles are essential ideals within the framework of a rule-of-law state, emphasizing the need for a renewable commitment to uphold judicial integrity and public trust. In addition, this research will also explore the impact of these regulations on public trust in judicial institutions. Findings: In this research, it was found that the substance of the MK judges' term of office regulated in Law Number 7 of 2020 does not reflect the principle of a state of law, which should be the theoretical basis in the process of draughting legal regulations. One of the main problems identified is the inconsistency in the draughting of articles relating to the period of the MK judges' term of office. This uncertainty creates confusion and the potential for abuse of power, as well as concerns that the decision-making of MK judges can be caused by political intervention alone. In addition, the process of drafting Law Number 7 of 2020 is considered too hasty and closed. This further worsens the legitimacy of the law and raises doubts among the public. Originality/value: This research emphasises the importance of legal certainty that supports the principle of independence in judicial power. This research highlights the importance of term office arrangements that not only guarantee stability but also protection against intervention from political power. Judges' terms of office that are too short or dependent on external influences can risk eroding public trust in the integrity of the judicial institution. In this context, this research provides insight that optimal arrangements must be based on the principle of a state of law in order to maintain a balance between stability and independence, to create a strong foundation for justice and legal order.
