Abstract

The global landscape is undergoing a profound transformation driven by artificial intelligence (AI), a technology that has the potential to reshape global power dynamics, economies, and societies. The United States (U.S.) has historically played a central role in guiding technological advancements, offering leadership that has prioritized ethical governance and global stability. Drawing a parallel to the U.S. leadership during the development of atomic weapons, this study emphasizes the necessity for the U.S. to take a proactive and responsible role in the governance of AI. Without U.S. leadership, the proliferation of AI risks falling into the hands of authoritarian regimes, such as China and Russia, whose use of AI for surveillance, censorship, disinformation, and military purposes could destabilize international norms and threaten democratic values. The study uses agency theory to argue that the global community must rely on the U.S. as a responsible agent to ensure AI technologies are used ethically and for the collective benefit of humanity. The paper also incorporates social comparison theory, technological determinism, and international relations realism to further illustrate the strategic and moral imperative of U.S. leadership in AI governance. By examining the historical context of U.S. leadership in managing disruptive technologies, this study highlights the urgent need for the U.S. to establish global AI governance frameworks that prioritize human rights, equity, and democratic values, countering the risks posed by authoritarian misuse of AI. Overall, the study employs a systematic meta-analysis, utilizing agency theory and complementary frameworks such as social comparison theory, technological determinism, and realism to analyze the U.S.'s role in global AI governance, drawing from peer-reviewed literature sourced from databases like Google Scholar, PubMed, and Web of Science, published between 2010 and 2025. The analysis reveals that U.S. leadership in AI prioritizes ethical development, transparency, and international collaboration, contrasting sharply with China and Russia’s authoritarian strategies focused on surveillance, militarization, and disinformation, underscoring the urgent need for U.S.-led global norms to ensure AI aligns with democratic values and fosters global stability.

Abstract

In northern India, the tension between the Kuki and Meitei/Meetei ethnic groups is referred to as the Manipur problem. The Meiteis, who are already included under the General, OBC (Other Backward Classes), and SC (Scheduled Castes) categories, are clamoring to be granted ST (Scheduled Tribes) status. The tension brewed in May 2023 when the Manipur High Court recommended giving ST status to Meiteis. Opposing this, the Kuki and Naga population, which already enjoy ST status, held major peaceful protests against this proposal. But violence erupted on May 3, 2023, when the Meiteis torched the Anglo-Kuki Centenary gate in Churachandpur District, which resulted in increased strife in the area. The study seeks to investigate the primary elements and incidents of the Kuki people during the Manipur conflict. The scope of the study is to present an exposé on the most tragic incident that befell the Kukis and the weapons pillaged by the Meiteis during the conflict. This study performs an exhaustive review of secondary sources between 2023 and 2024, including websites, news outlets, YouTube channels, and particular sources like The Hill Journal, the Kuki Students Organization (KSO) Media and Documentation Cell, and so on. Both qualitative and quantitative content analysis techniques were used, including topic identification and coding to organize the findings.  As a consequence of the conflict, weapons are plundered; Kuki men and women are set on fire, exhibited nude, raped, harassed, tortured, shot, and murdered. In addition, there are killings, injuries, IDPs (Internal Displaced Persons), and villages, homes, churches, and offices of NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) burned. To end the trauma and agony inflicted on this community, the research concludes that responsibility, justice, and healing are imperatively and urgently required.

Abstract

Climate change is a condition of changing temperatures and weather patterns over a long time that negatively impacts society for a long time. Journalists play a role in overcoming climate change from the news side. On the other hand, journalists have several limitations regarding knowledge, media policies, and scientific climate change issues. This study aims to describe how the Alliance of Independent Journalists of Indonesia (AJII) constructs the issue among journalists in achieving sustainable development. The research used a qualitative method by conducting in-depth interviews with the management, Secretariat, and members of the AJII organization. The results of this study show how AJII agreed upon the construction of green journalism among journalists to achieve sustainable development. The construction was built based on social practices within the organization and between AJII internally with Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and donors. AJII cooperates with CSOs and donors to establish a form of green journalism. Empowering journalists related to climate change issues indirectly contributes to more quality knowledge to the community.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of technology on public administration, emphasising both its transformative opportunities and the challenges it presents. In the context of increasing digitisation, the research explores how innovations such as e-governance, automation, and data-driven decision-making influence efficiency, transparency, and service delivery within government institutions. The purpose of the study is to assess how technological tools contribute to administrative effectiveness and citizen engagement while identifying barriers that hinder their full implementation. A quantitative research design was employed, using an online questionnaire completed by 70 government employees from different departments, supplemented by secondary data from local and international reports, scholarly articles, and official websites on technology and governance. The findings reveal that technology significantly improves service delivery, operational efficiency, and public participation in governance. However, issues such as inadequate digital infrastructure, limited digital literacy among public officials, and cybersecurity risks constrain the effective use of these innovations. The study concludes that to fully harness the benefits of technology in public administration, governments must invest in robust digital infrastructure, provide continuous training for public servants, and implement policies promoting digital literacy and data protection. Addressing these challenges will strengthen institutional performance, enhance citizen trust, and ensure that public administration adapts effectively to the evolving demands of modern governance.

Abstract

As a result of the 2016 local government elections, South Africa's municipal system transformed profoundly. The system is shifting from a singular dominant party structure toward more complex and fragmented multiparty systems, which prioritise governance coalitions. Some observers celebrate this change as a move toward deeper democratisation, but many municipalities paint a different picture. The pursuit of inclusiveness and sharing responsibilities has brought about stagnation, strife, and inactivity in many coalition arrangements. This paper delineates some fundamental, persistent structural and behavioural difficulties using consociational theory and analysing policy documents alongside relevant academic literature. These are disputes among coalition partners, insufficient institutional structures to address conflicts, and ambiguous boundaries between the political sphere and administration. Collectively, there is an absence of political sophistication and an unwillingness to move beyond divisive politics and create effective governance. Such circumstances give rise to policy stasis, administrative paralysis, and interrupted public services. To ensure local democracy, this paper argues for more inter-party frameworks, targeted mediation frameworks, and an environment of unconditional goodwill to intra-party relations. Without such frameworks, rampant dysfunction may hinder coalition effectiveness. Furthermore, the paper’s findings reveal that there are destabilising effects of political polarisation on municipal governance, fragile coalitions and the absence of conflict management mechanisms, political infighting and administrative dysfunction, and undermined policy development and deteriorating service delivery affecting the implementation of service provision.
