Abstract

This article sheds new light on the multifaceted dimensions of hope experienced by Vietnamese Christians who reportedly witnessed a Marian apparition at the La Vang site in the context of eighteenth-century Vietnam’s political turmoil. Through examining the signs of hope in the case of the alleged Marian apparition at La Vang, the study reinforces Thomas Aquinas’s idea of hope as an arduous journey—difficult but possible to attain—in helping Christians cope with trauma under political repression. The first section outlines the research approach, combining historical-political and philosophical perspectives. The second section situates the presumed Marian apparition at La Vang within its historical framework, highlighting the socio-political context of the time. The third section explores the messages of hope conveyed through the alleged apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary at La Vang. Finally, using the case of Our Lady of La Vang, the article concludes by affirming the significant role of religious faith in comforting believers amid political catastrophe.

Abstract

Digital platforms have transformed political campaign models and created spaces where the boundaries between reality and illusion become blurred. This study analyzes the social media gimmick strategy used by the Prabowo-Gibran pair in the 2024 election, highlighting how the gimmick is not only a tool of political communication, but also builds hyperreality. Using the theoretical framework of simulacra and simulation from Jean Baudrillard, this study reveals how political communication strategies through gimmicks on social media can build a hyperreal image, where campaign elements become more "real" than actual political reality. A descriptive qualitative approach was used to analyze the data obtained from the publication of PT Indonesia Indicator using content analysis. The results of this study show that political gimmicks are not just a strategy to attract the attention of voters, but have developed into a hegemonic instrument that forms a new reality that is independent of the real reality. In this context, democracy faces serious challenges, when political representation relies more on visual appeal and social media narratives, then political substance can be displaced by pseudo-illusions designed to drive and control public opinion.

Abstract

The Nigerian government’s planned resuscitation of fossil fuel refineries is expected to impact the country’s clean energy transition plan by influencing public acceptance of that policy. It remains unclear how the government will bridge this gap between fossil fuel revival and clean energy commitments. This study examines the drivers behind Nigeria’s refinery resuscitation policy and the policy’s implications for the nation’s clean energy transition. The analysis is grounded in Choice Theory, operating on the premise that behavior (including policy decisions) originates from within and is driven by attempts to satisfy basic needs, meaning policymakers choose their actions based on those needs[1]. The research method is a semi-systematic review (SSR), for which 20 peer-reviewed journal articles (published 2015–2024) were purposively selected. The findings indicate that several factors sustaining fossil fuel use globally are encouraging Nigeria’s refinery revival. These factors include the persistent international market demand for fossil fuels, the perceived non-substitutability of fossil fuels in economic and military contexts, supportive government policies, and the state’s failure to secure sufficient clean energy investment. Reviving refineries implies a continued supply of and demand for fossil fuels as primary energy sources in the near term. The study concludes that each country should contextualize its energy transition strategy according to its unique circumstances.

Abstract

This paper examines the role of youth within the contemporary political landscape marked by populism. Populism is a form of politics that emphasizes the antagonism between the 'people' versus the 'elite'. As the group most actively supportive of democracy, youth can either reproduce or resist populist narratives. Employing a descriptive qualitative method based on literature review and critical discourse analysis, this study demonstrates that youth play an ambivalent role. On the one hand, populism opens up space for political participation and the expression of generational idealism; on the other hand, it has the potential to deepen identity polarization and weaken the quality of democracy. The author argues that the sustainability of Indonesian democracy is highly dependent on the direction of youth's political idealism whether it is channeled towards an inclusive discourse or becomes trapped in exclusive antagonism.
