Abstract

Diplomasi budaya dipandang sebagai instrumen soft power yang efektif dalam membangun saling pengertian dan kepercayaan lintas negara melalui pertukaran budaya yang bersifat langsung dan personal. Program Nihongo Partners dipilih karena secara khusus dirancang untuk mengirimkan warga negara Jepang sebagai mitra pendamping guru bahasa Jepang di sekolah-sekolah menengah di Asia, termasuk Indonesia, dengan peran tidak hanya mendukung pengajaran bahasa, tetapi juga mengenalkan budaya Jepang melalui berbagai kegiatan seperti origami, shodō, yukata, dan tarian tradisional. Metode penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan studi kepustakaan, memanfaatkan sumber-sumber berupa laporan resmi Japan Foundation, dokumen kerja sama, publikasi akademik, serta artikel berita daring. Analisis difokuskan pada dinamika implementasi program pasca pandemi COVID-19, termasuk adaptasi ke model hibrida dan perluasan jangkauan ke madrasah melalui kerja sama dengan Kementerian Agama RI. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Program Nihongo Partners berkontribusi signifikan terhadap peningkatan motivasi dan minat siswa Indonesia dalam mempelajari bahasa Jepang serta memperluas apresiasi terhadap budaya Jepang. Selain itu, program ini berperan dalam membangun citra positif Jepang sebagai negara damai, ramah, dan bersahabat, sekaligus menjadi instrumen strategis nation branding. Tantangan yang dihadapi meliputi konsistensi kualitas relawan, adaptasi terhadap kondisi lokal, serta keberlanjutan model pertukaran tatap muka di tengah ketidakpastian global.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the contribution and optimization of local taxes in increasing Regional Original Revenue (PAD) in Nganjuk Regency. The study applies a descriptive quantitative approach by using secondary data on PAD realization and local tax revenues during 2016-2020, supported by interviews and documentation at the local revenue office. The results indicate that PAD increased nominally from Rp323.04 billion in 2016 to Rp403.08 billion in 2020, but the contribution of PAD to total regional income remained relatively low, indicating that fiscal independence has not been fully achieved. Local taxes became the most strategic PAD component after other legitimate PAD, with an average contribution of 25.64% to PAD and an average growth of 12.13% per year. The dominant local taxes were PBB-P2, street lighting tax, and BPHTB, while several taxes such as entertainment tax, parking tax, groundwater tax, and mineral tax contributed relatively small and fluctuating amounts. Optimization requires integrated intensification and extensification through data updating, digital transaction monitoring, taxpayer education, institutional coordination, and stronger supervision. The study concludes that strengthening local tax governance, transparency, and accountability is essential to build sustainable regional fiscal independence

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of School Operational Assistance fund management and budget transparency on teacher performance at MTs Negeri 6 Madiun. The study employed a quantitative approach with descriptive and verification analysis. The population consisted of 38 teachers, and all members of the population were used as respondents through a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires, observation, and documentation, while the data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The findings indicate that BOS fund management and budget transparency have positive and significant effects on teacher performance, both partially and simultaneously. The simultaneous contribution of the two independent variables reached 82.89 percent, indicating that school financial governance is a major determinant of teacher performance. Nevertheless, the implementation of BOS fund management and budget transparency has not fully reflected good governance principles because access to information, reporting discipline, and stakeholder participation remain limited. These conditions influence teacher performance in lesson planning, classroom implementation, learning evaluation, administrative completeness, and participation in additional school activities. The study emphasizes that effective, accountable, and transparent school financial governance can strengthen teacher motivation, improve the learning environment, and support sustainable educational quality.

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the influence of the Family Hope Program social assistance on poverty reduction among beneficiary families in Kesamben Subdistrict, Jombang Regency. The study was developed from quantitative research involving 97 respondents representing a population of 2,813 beneficiary families. The independent variables include the utilization of assistance in the health, education, and economic sectors, while the dependent variable is poverty reduction. Data were collected through questionnaires, observation, documentation, and interviews, and then analyzed using descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests, partial tests, simultaneous tests, multiple linear regression, and coefficient of determination. The findings show that all instruments were valid and reliable, the residuals were normally distributed, and there were no symptoms of multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, or autocorrelation. Partially, the health sector had a significant effect with a significance value of 0.000, the education sector had a significant effect with a significance value of 0.004, and the economic sector had a significant effect with a significance value of 0.018. Simultaneously, the three variables had a significant effect with an F value of 97.043 and a significance value of 0.000. The R Square value of 0.758 indicates that 75.8 percent of the variation in poverty reduction can be explained by the three variables. These findings confirm that conditional social assistance functions not only as a consumption buffer, but also as an instrument for behavioral change, improved access to basic services, and strengthening the economic capacity of poor households.

Abstract

Indonesian official discourse often presents this aid as development cooperation and South-South partnership. However, these narratives do not fully explain the political logic of the relationship. Using van der Veen’s seven-frame model of foreign aid, this study analyzes Indonesia’s aid to Fiji as a multi-frame foreign-policy instrument. The article adopts a qualitative single-case study design. It uses desk review as the main data collection method and analyzes official Indonesian documents, embassy performance reports, strategic plans, gray literature and academic studies through thematic analysis. The findings show that Indonesia’s aid to Fiji has evolved from episodic assistance into a more institutionalized package of grants, humanitarian relief, technical cooperation, scholarships, reconstruction support, health assistance and sectoral training. The analysis further shows that Indonesia’s aid is driven by overlapping humanitarian, security, influence, economic, reputational, enlightened self-interest and obligation-based motives. In particular, aid helps Indonesia strengthen its diplomatic position in the Pacific, build a positive image, expand regional access, and manage Papua-related political pressures. The article contributes to foreign aid and South-South Cooperation scholarship by showing that solidarity and strategic interest can operate together in Global South aid diplomacy. In the Indonesia-Fiji case, solidarity provides the normative language that legitimizes aid, while strategic interests shape its direction as an instrument of national interest.

Abstract

Oil palm expansion in Papua has deepened the deforestation crisis and presents problems that are not only ecological, but also social, cultural, and theological because they are related to changes in indigenous peoples' relations to land, forests, and sources of life. This research aims to formulate a synthesis of Papuan contextual ecotheology by placing land as a relational living space and nature as a creation that must be read in the context of contemporary ecological crises. The research uses a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach based on secondary data from open-access scientific literature relevant to the themes of deforestation, oil palm expansion, indigenous Papuans, relational cosmology, and contextual ecotheology. The analysis process was conducted through literature selection, thematic mapping, and narrative synthesis to identify key patterns of findings. The results show that deforestation due to oil palm expansion in Papua cannot be understood solely as land cover change, but rather as a relational crisis that disrupts indigenous peoples' relationships with land, sago, forests, food, and the wider web of life. This synthesis also shows that Papuan contextual ecotheology needs to be built by integrating creation theology, ecological justice, and local ecological knowledge in order to be able to respond to the reality of extractivism more sensitively and transformatively. This article contributes to the development of ecotheological studies in Indonesia by offering a conceptual framework that places Papua as an important locus for the formation of a theology that is contextual, ecological, and in favor of the dignity of indigenous peoples.

Abstract

Growth volatility, rather than merely reduced average growth, constitutes an underexplored welfare-critical consequence of global economic slowdowns in developing countries. Using a two-way fixed effects panel regression on 10 developing countries over 2010–2024, validated through Driscoll-Kraay correction and System-GMM endogeneity control, this study estimates how global GDP growth contractions amplify domestic output volatility operationalized as the rolling five-year standard deviation of annual real GDP growth rates and examines the conditioning roles of trade openness, foreign direct investment (FDI), and inflation as macroeconomic channels. Four robust findings emerge: (1) global slowdowns significantly increase growth volatility (β = −0.482, p < 0.001); (2) trade openness stabilizes growth under normal conditions (β = 0.214, p < 0.05); (3) FDI exhibits the strongest stabilizing effect (β = 0.367, p < 0.001), robust to endogeneity correction; and (4) inflation amplifies volatility by eroding countercyclical monetary policy space (β = −0.291, p < 0.001). These findings reframe growth volatility as the primary indicator of macroeconomic resilience, with policy implications for export diversification, countercyclical FDI frameworks, and central bank institutional independence as structural components of shock absorption capacity in developing economies.

Abstract

A study on population administration accessibility noted that e-KTP ownership among ODGJ in 2022 is estimated to only reach around 35% of the total national ODGJ population. Meanwhile, data services in several regions show gradual progress, such as in Mandailing Natal Regency, which saw an increase in e-KTP ownership for people with disabilities from 47.76% in 2021 to 55.52% in 2022, increasing to 61.35% in 2023, and reaching 70.97% in 2024. This study aims to describe the implementation of the Dukcapil Peduli program at Mutiara Sukma Mental Hospital in Mataram City and to identify the inhibiting factors encountered during its implementation. The study employed a qualitative case study approach using participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation techniques. The findings indicate that this locus-based outreach service program successfully increased e-KTP ownership among vulnerable groups through the utilization of SIKEL (Interactive Service Activity Facility) and MOBILO (Mobile Online Service Vehicle). The program proved effective in reducing administrative access barriers through cross-sector collaboration between the Civil Registration Office and the mental hospital. Nevertheless, the implementation still encountered technical obstacles, particularly damage to portable biometric devices and internet network disruptions in the field. This study implies that inclusive and proactive public services can significantly expand civil rights access for vulnerable communities and may serve as a model for population administration service innovation in other regions. However, the study is limited by its single-case design; therefore, future studies are recommended to apply comparative approaches across multiple regions to further examine the effectiveness and scalability of the service model.

Abstract

The expanding use of criminal law in administrative governance has increasingly reshaped the relationship between public accountability and policy-making in Indonesia. Public officials frequently face criminal investigation for discretionary decisions made within their official authority, particularly when policy failures, procedural irregularities, or state financial losses arise after policy implementation. Consequently, the boundary between legitimate administrative discretion and criminal abuse of authority has become increasingly unclear, creating legal uncertainty and affecting governance effectiveness. This study examines how the criminalization of public policy influences administrative discretion and bureaucratic governance in Indonesia. Using a socio-legal and conceptual legal research approach, the study analyzes legislation, legal doctrines, judicial reasoning, governance theory, and scholarly literature concerning corruption, public administration, and state accountability. The findings reveal that outcome-oriented criminal liability increasingly shifts accountability from intent toward policy consequences. As a result, policy failure and procedural irregularity are frequently treated as indicators of criminal wrongdoing despite the absence of corrupt intent or personal benefit. Excessive criminalization also contributes to defensive bureaucratic behavior characterized by excessive procedural caution, declining policy innovation, delayed decision-making, and weakened administrative responsiveness. This study argues that accountability mechanisms must operate within proportionate legal boundaries. Accordingly, the article proposes a differentiated accountability framework in which criminal sanctions remain focused on intentional abuse of authority, while good-faith administrative errors and policy failures are addressed primarily through administrative supervision and governance correction mechanisms.
