Abstract

The acquisition of basic citizenship rights like legal identity, education, and food security often goes unfulfilled among urban poor communities in Indonesian secondary cities, as they tend to remain invisible to state welfare-delivery systems. Along the Lemahputro riverbank in Sidoarjo, East Java, this exclusion is magnified by residents’ lack of formal documentation, unstable incomes and limited political leverage. This article asks: How do government actors and informal community groups co‑produce solutions to close that citizenship gap? This research conducted a descriptive qualitative case study guided by the concepts of Brokers and Citizenship, Collaborative Governance, and the idea of vernacular citizenship. Data were gathered through participant observation, 17 semi‑structured interviews and document analysis between August and October 2023. Findings reveal a multilevel synergy in which neighborhood and village officials broker legal‑identity access, faith‑based and women’s organizations supply social‑welfare services, and a donor‑initiated hub Griya Sinau functions as an intermediary platform that binds state and community initiatives. This hybrid governance arrangement reduces bureaucratic distance, legitimizes informal actors as policy implementers and expands residents’ repertoires for claiming rights beyond clientelist channels. The study contributes empirically to Indonesian urban‑governance scholarship and conceptually by showing how collaborative governance can be vernacularized through everyday brokerage practices. Policy recommendations include formalizing community brokers as “citizenship facilitators” and deploying mobile civil‑registration units to informal settlements.

Abstract

This paper examines the Indonesia-Iran Preferential Trade Agreement (II-PTA), signed in May 2023 and ratified in late 2024, as a puzzle for traditional international political economy theories. This theory asserts that a country usually signs trade agreement because of their already significant economic interdependence. But those two Muslim majority nations recorded a relatively low volume in bilateral trade. Utilizing a constructivist framework, this study argues that shared Islamic identity played a significant role in shaping the national interests of both Indonesia and Iran, and driving the agreement forward beyond purely rational economic calculations. The analysis demonstrates how this shared identity, coupled with norms of solidarity within the Ummah, provided a powerful ideational foundation that not only defined cooperation as normatively appropriate but also facilitated the negotiation process. This research foregrounding Islamic identity as a central variable for economic cooperation that deviates from conventional market logic

Abstract

Feminist digital activism has become increasingly vital in confronting gendered repression in online spaces, especially in Indonesia, where state regulation, corporate platform control, and patriarchal norms converge. While prior research has addressed surveillance, algorithmic bias, and legal repression under laws like the Information and Electronic Transactions Law (UU ITE), less is known about how feminist movements in the Global South collectively resist these forces. This study fills that gap through a qualitative-interpretive approach grounded in critical feminist theory and Nancy Fraser’s justice framework—redistribution, recognition, and representation. Drawing on secondary sources including activist publications, academic works, and legal documents, the paper analyzes how Indonesian feminist actors navigate digital criminalization, SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation), and algorithmic exclusion. Findings show that feminist digital activism is not merely reactive but proactive, with strategies ranging from gender-aware digital literacy and legal reform advocacy to transnational solidarity and the development of community-run digital infrastructures. These actions reframe online feminist activism as structural resistance rooted in democratic participation. While limited by the absence of primary ethnographic data, this research offers a critical Global South feminist lens on digital justice and underscores the importance of collective agency in building inclusive and gender-just digital futures.

Abstract

Public policy planning is a fundamental pillar in achieving effective, responsive, and adaptive governance. This article analyzes a comparative study of public policy planning systems in Indonesia and Australia, highlighting how differences in governmental systems, administrative capacity, and intergovernmental relations influence policy effectiveness. The study employs a literature review method, examining relevant scholarly sources. The findings indicate that Indonesia, as a unitary state with a presidential system, relies on a formal approach governed by national development planning laws. However, challenges remain in cross-sector synchronization, data integration, and the predominance of political interests in priority-setting. Conversely, Australia, with its federal and parliamentary system, adopts an evidence-based policy approach, reinforced by independent research institutions, structured public consultations, and intergovernmental coordination. Despite of their fundamental differences, the study reveals opportunities for mutual learning, such as enhancing public participation through consultation forums in Australia and drawing inspiration from Indonesia’s musrenbang (development planning deliberations). These findings aim to provide valuable insights for policymakers in designing inclusive, data-driven, and contextually relevant planning systems.

Abstract

The local political contest in Sumenep in 2024 is not just an ordinary electoral competition, but rather a field of tug-of-war of hegemony between charismatic figures who are both kyais. This phenomenon suggests that local political dynamics are not solely influenced by the political party machine but are also driven by three primary pillars: religious hegemony, charismatic personality, and interconnected socio-political networks. In this context, kyais become the epicenter that is difficult to change by an additional power, where kyais’ standing is not merely a political power but also determines triumph through social power with the santri network and alumni. This article discusses how kyai personalities are formed and contested within the arena of local control. Kyai, who is usually used as a spiritual role model, is now involved as a strategic actor in the electoral political space. With a qualitative and quantitative approach, and data collected from interviews, observations, and documentation, these findings demonstrate that the personal charisma of the kyai is not isolated but is also strengthened by social networks, pesantren relationships, and pragmatic political affiliations. The Sumenep Election reveals a symbolic battle between moral authority, socio-religious values, and the power of patronage networks.

Abstract

This study examines the Jodang tradition in Kenjo Village, Banyuwangi District, focusing on its cultural, social, and political dimensions. The tradition is held throughout the month commemorating the birth of Prophet Muhammad, during which villagers engage in nightly prayer rituals and distribute Jodang to their neighbors. The ritual serves to honor the Prophet through prayer, praise, and mosque decoration, with Jodang later consumed by the participants. This research employs a qualitative approach with an embedded single-case study design, using interviews, observation, and documentation as primary data collection methods. The analysis is framed by Max Weber’s theory of social action, which provides a lens to interpret how religious and cultural practices can intersect with political behavior. Weber’s typology of action, particularly traditional and value-rational actions helps explain the villagers’ motivations, while also revealing how instrumental rationality emerges in political appropriation of the ritual. Data were analyzed thematically to connect empirical findings with theoretical insights. However, the tradition has also taken on political significance. Politicians increasingly participate by sponsoring or distributing Jodang, using the event as a platform to strengthen their public image and maintain constituent support. As such, Jodang has evolved from a purely religious and cultural practice into a political instrument embedded within local community life.

Abstract

Corruption in Indonesia, especially in government, is often associated with structural and cultural factors that contribute to corruption. This study aims to describe the knowledge of women in rural areas who play a role in both local government and social activities that intersect with local government in dealing with various corrupt practices that can occur in village government structures. The research approach is quantitative with a descriptive research type. Data were collected by interviewing 50 women who live in Menganti Village, Gresik Regency, East Java. Most of the women who were respondents worked as village government officials and village cadres who ran village government programs. This study began by giving questionnaires to respondents about their understanding of matters related to village fund management and corrupt practices. The second stage, in-depth interviews and observations related to their daily activities, were conducted. The study results showed that 78% of respondents understood corrupt acts, such as abuse of authority and embezzlement. However, 64% admitted to experiencing social or political pressure that influenced their decisions in maintaining integrity. As many as 52% of respondents stated that weak transparency and minimal supervision from the community opened up opportunities for corruption. Meanwhile, 60% of respondents said that rationalization practices—such as considering corrupt acts as “commonplace” in the bureaucracy—still occur in their environment. These findings confirm that although village women know about corruption, their decisions are still heavily influenced by the local social and political context. In addition, the lack of literacy among the general public regarding village fund management also strengthens the occurrence of maladministration and corruption practices at the local level.
