Abstract

Indonesia is geographically located within the disaster-prone pacific ring of fire, making it vulnerable to recurring natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, and landslides. These disasters pose significant threats to human survival and well-being. The presence of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) becomes crucial in advocating, educating, and assisting disaster victims, completing the government's efforts in ensuring human security. The concept of human security is a non-traditional approach which relies heavily on human being or community rather than state entity. This study explores the role of Human Initiative in disaster management and the challenges it faces, with a focus on human security. David Lewis and Nazneen Kanji theoretical framework guides the analysis in this study. They identify three key roles that NGOs play: implementers, catalysts, and partners. This study adopts a qualitative method with a case study approach through field observations and interviews. The findings reveal that Human Initiative plays an active, responsive, and collaborative role in disaster management in Indonesia by addressing both individual and environmental security. Its achievement depends on a comprehensive and sustainable approach involving all stakeholders, including government entities, the private sector, and community organizations.

Abstract

Political parties are central actors in democratic systems, influencing policymaking, governance, and the overall stability of political institutions. In post-conflict or politically fragile societies, their role becomes even more critical as they can either facilitate reconciliation and peacebuilding or exacerbate tensions through polarizing strategies. This paper examines the dual role of political parties in conflict resolution and the strengthening of democratic resilience, drawing from theoretical perspectives on democracy, conflict resolution, and institutional stability. The analysis highlights three primary contributions of political parties: acting as mediators in political disputes, designing and promoting reconciliation policies, and fostering inclusive participation in governance. At the same time, the paper identifies persistent challenges such as political polarization, identity-based divisions, corruption, and weak internal democracy. Addressing these issues requires comprehensive reforms, including greater transparency in party operations, stronger legal frameworks, and continuous political education for both members and the public. By aligning the functions of political parties with the principles of peace and democratic governance, societies can enhance their capacity to navigate conflict and sustain long-term democratic resilience. Ultimately, this study argues that political parties are not only instruments of power but also potential architects of sustainable peace and democratic stability.

Abstract

Indonesia’s majority share acquisition in PT Freeport Indonesia (PTFI) since 2017 is often narrated as a success of resource nationalism, yet human security conditions for indigenous Papuan communities around the mining area remain precarious. Drawing on the human security framework (UNDP) and the concept of structural violence (Galtung), and applying Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis to corporate communications, official statements, policy documents, and human rights reporting from 2017–2025, this study explains why ownership change has not translated into local protection. The analysis shows how the paired discourse of “sovereignty”, “development”, and “security” reframes labor conflict and coercive governance as necessary for stability and investment, thereby normalizing exclusion. Empirically, the crisis is manifested in the 2017 strike-related dismissals and subsequent terminations affecting approximately 8,000–8,300 workers, restrictions on access to housing and essential services (including health care and schooling), and persistent environmental violations documented by state authorities. These dynamics generate interconnected threats to economic, health, environmental, and community security, producing haram through institutional arrangements rather than isolated incidents. While Papuan workers and customary institutions mobilize resilience through strikes, litigation, and advocacy, their claims remain politically unresolved. The article concludes that resource nationalism is insufficient unless it is accompanied by rights-based governance that de-securitizes Papua’s policy space and makes corporate accountability meaningful at the local level

Abstract

This article examines meaningful participation as a structural mechanism for advancing ecological justice in environmental and forest governance. Exclusionary governance has produced persistent inequalities for Indigenous and rural communities whose participation remains largely procedural. This study analyzes the gap between normative participatory commitments and their substantive implementation across four jurisdictions — Indonesia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the European Union — using a qualitative Systematic Literature Review of peer-reviewed scholarship, legal instruments, and policy documents. Findings reveal significant institutional variation: Indonesia exhibits centralized authority and weak accountability; New Zealand institutionalizes ecological justice through the legal personhood of Te Urewera and the Whanganui River; the United Kingdom demonstrates procedural transparency without redistributive impact; the European Union provides multilevel participatory architecture with uneven equity outcomes. The study argues that meaningful participation requires structural guarantees of recognition, accountability, and empowerment — not procedural inclusion alone — and offers conceptual tools for reforming environmental law in contexts marked by power asymmetries and ecological degradation.
