Abstract

The Palestinian-Israeli conflict remains one of the major challenges in building sustainable peace through diplomacy. This study analyzes the role of emotions and perceptions in Palestinian-Israeli peace negotiations through the perspective of diplomacy psychology. Using an integrative literature review and an integrated theory approach that combines psychological theories and international relations theories, this study synthesizes empirical and conceptual findings on the Palestinian-Israeli peace negotiation process. The results of the analysis show that negative emotions such as fear, hatred, and anger worsen diplomatic relations and hinder peace deals. Distorted perceptions of the other side's intentions and identities, as well as conflicting historical narratives, reinforce distrust and resistance to compromise. A strong national identity also complicates the negotiation process. These findings underscore the importance of managing emotions, improving perceptions, and respecting national identity. The practical implication is that international mediators need to pay more attention to psychological and social dynamics in designing sustainable peace strategies.

Abstract

Women’s political participation in the Middle East remains shaped by the complex interaction of cultural norms, religious interpretations, and democratic reform processes. While existing scholarship has examined these factors extensively, limited attention has been devoted to explaining why women’s political participation varies across states with broadly similar socio-cultural and religious contexts. This study addresses this gap through a qualitative comparative analysis of Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, and Iran. Guided by Feminist Institutionalism and Political Opportunity Structure theory, the study draws on secondary data from peer-reviewed literature, legal documents, and policy reports. The findings demonstrate that women’s political participation is not determined by culture or religion alone but by the interaction between informal gender norms and institutional opportunity structures. Tunisia achieved comparatively higher levels of political inclusion through democratic opening and constitutional reform, whereas Saudi Arabia experienced controlled participation through state-led modernization. In Iran, restrictive institutions redirected political engagement toward grassroots activism. The study contributes to debates on gender, Islamic politics, and democratization in the Middle East.

Abstract

This study investigates the strategic dilemma faced by banking institutions in allocating resources between digital and conventional customer acquisition channels. Using a unique panel dataset from 38 Islamic bank branches, we analyze the comparative effectiveness of digital (Online Onboarding) and conventional (Payroll and Branch Registration) strategies on branch-level financial performance. Our findings reveal a significant efficiency-profitability paradox: a digital-dominant strategic orientation is associated with superior operational efficiency but does not translate into higher profitability. Furthermore, our analysis uncovers a critical nuance in conventional strategies through the discovery of inconsistent mediation: the institutional Payroll channel, while directly boosting margins, simultaneously erodes the funding structure, thus indirectly suppressing long-term profitability. This research challenges the prevailing assumption that transactional efficiency automatically leads to superior financial performance and highlights the often-overlooked, complex impacts of acquisition strategies on a bank's liability structure.
Religious Trauma and Social Identity af Santri: A Qualitative Study In A Pesantren Environment Zakiyah, Himmatuz

Abstract

This qualitative study examines religious trauma experiences among Santri in a modern Indonesian pesantren, focusing on how teachers weaponize Qur'anic verses and hadiths as tools of symbolic violence. Data were collected through semi structured interviews with five Santri and alumni from Bumi Shalawat Islamic Boarding School, a pseudonym. Findings reveal that selective quotation, decontextualization, and threat based hermeneutics, which I term scriptural violence, are systematically used to enforce conformity, suppress doubt, and induce shame. This scriptural violence operates through three mechanisms. Theological gaslighting denies Santri's interpretive agency. Eschatological blackmail threatens divine punishment. Prophetic proof texting misuses hadiths to legitimize authoritarian pedagogy. Using Bourdieu's concepts of symbolic capital, habitus, doxa, and symbolic violence, the study shows how sacred texts become instruments of terror, producing long term spiritual injury, religious avoidance, and a fractured relationship with God. The study advocates for trauma informed hermeneutics and pedagogical reforms that replace fear based scriptural enforcement with ethical, dialogical religious education. Keywords: Religious trauma, symbolic violence, pesantren.

Abstract

Indonesia, through the Halal Product Assurance Agency (BPJPH), has launched the Indonesia Global Halal Fashion (IGHF) initiative in collaboration with the textile industry and fashion designers during Indonesia Fashion Week 2024. This initiative aims to position Indonesia as a global hub for halal fashion—distinct from general Muslim fashion by incorporating halal principles throughout the entire production chain. Despite its vast potential, the development of halal fashion in Indonesia still faces challenges, particularly in capturing consumer preferences and defining comprehensive regulatory standards. This study adopts a qualitative approach, integrating SWOT analysis, STP (Segmentation, Targeting, Positioning), and the Quadruple Helix framework to formulate strategic recommendations. The findings highlight Indonesia’s strong potential to lead the global halal fashion market, supported by natural resources, skilled human capital, and collaboration among key stakeholders: government, academia, industry players, and society. The proposed framework serves as a strategic foundation for enhancing marketing effectiveness and advancing policy development in a sustainable and inclusive manner.

Abstract

The link between the Halal Industrial Ecosystem and Sharia Finance has become an increasingly relevant and significant topic in the context of the rapidly developing global economy. This study aims to identify how the halal industry and Islamic finance support each other in an increasingly complex ecosystem. This study uses a literature review method that discusses the role of Islamic finance in providing financing support in accordance with Sharia principles for the halal industry, which includes financing for working capital, investment, and risk protection. Furthermore, this study also identifies the challenges faced by Islamic finance in supporting the halal industry, including issues such as long-term financing needs, immature Islamic financial infrastructure, and challenges in evaluating the feasibility of businesses that comply with halal principles. The results of this study highlight the importance of collaboration between halal industry stakeholders and Islamic financial institutions such as Islamic Banking, the Social Security and Non-Bank Financial Institutions (IKNB) sectors, the Islamic Capital Market sector, and the Zakat and Waqf sector in addressing these challenges and facilitating sustainable economic growth in the halal industry. It also provides important insights into the potential for closer cooperation in the future.
