Abstract

This study discusses the negotiation strategy used by the Government of Indonesia towards the Government of Singapore in establishing an extradition treaty. An extradition treaty is crucial for Indonesia to be able to try wanted fugitives who escaped to Singapore due to corruption cases. After decades of discussion, Indonesia and Singapore’s extradition treaty has finally reached an agreement in 2022 during Joko Widodo and Lee Hsien Loong’s leadership, due to preconditions given by both parties. This descriptive qualitative study uses the concept of collaborative negotiation strategy (win-win) developed by Lewicki, Barry & Saunders. The results of this research show that Indonesia’s negotiation strategy used during the leadership of President Joko Widodo used a collaborative (win-win) negotiation strategy, indicated by the fact that both parties could achieve the desired national interests. On one hand, Indonesia has established an extradition agreement, in addition to the Flight Information Region. On the other hand, Singapore has also established a Defense Cooperation Agreement as a precondition to the extradition agreement, in order to carry out military exercises in Indonesia’s territory. In conclusion, the negotiation strategy was successfully carried out by Indonesia, proven by the signing of the extradition treaty, which was further ratified by the People's Representative Council of the Republic of Indonesia.

Abstract

Fiscal communication plays a crucial role in shaping public trust, promoting transparency, and reinforcing the legitimacy of government actions. Despite its significance, existing studies often emphasize macroeconomic performance rather than the rhetorical strategies that build credibility and empathy between policymakers and the public. This study investigates the rhetorical and linguistic strategies employed by Indonesian Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa during the crucial transitional period following his appointment in 2025, amid growing fiscal legitimacy challenges and public skepticism. The research focuses on how Minister Purbaya strategically constructed and communicated Indonesia’s fiscal narrative to regain public trust, stabilize perceptions of economic governance, and reinforce the credibility of fiscal policy after the leadership change. Using a qualitative descriptive method with a rhetorical and linguistic discourse analysis approach, the research examines selected public speeches and media statements delivered from his inauguration to October 2025. The analysis reveals that Purbaya’s fiscal communication emphasized clarity, empathy, and accountability, supported by rhetorical devices such as ethos, pathos, logos, metaphorical framing, and pronoun choice. These elements collectively simplified complex fiscal issues, humanized economic discourse, and fostered a sense of shared responsibility between the government and citizens. The findings indicate that effective fiscal communication requires not only technical expertise and data accuracy but also emotional resonance and ethical awareness. The study concludes that rhetorical competence is a vital aspect of fiscal governance, turning policy communication into a bridge of trust that strengthens both public confidence and the legitimacy of fiscal policy.

Abstract

This study explores how President Prabowo Subianto’s official Instagram account is utilized as a strategic tool in digital politics and political communication. By applying a cyber sociopragmatic approach, which integrates sociopragmatic theory (Haugh, Kádár, & Terkouraf) with concepts of digital politics, this research investigates how language, imagery, and symbols are carefully crafted to communicate political authority, represent national identity, and engage with the public. Employing qualitative methods such as observation and document analysis, the study examines how Instagram posts contribute to shaping political narratives and diplomatic discourse, focusing on the symbolic use of protocol, international cooperation, and Indonesia’s foreign relations. The analysis, guided by the social, interactional, and normative dimensions of sociopragmatics, highlights how textual and visual elements work together to convey subtle messages of political power, shape diplomatic relations, and influence public perception. The findings indicate that Instagram is not merely a platform for information sharing, but a political space for constructing political identity, enhancing public engagement, and projecting Indonesia’s presence on the global stage. This research contributes to theoretical development by linking cyber socioprag­matics with digital politics, shedding light on how sociocultural norms and contextual reasoning inform online political communication. Practically, it offers insights into how social media can be strategically leveraged by political leaders to facilitate communication, strengthen domestic and international ties, and navigate the complex landscape of digital political discourse.

Abstract

This research aims to examine how the YouTube platform is used as a digital public space in articulating social policy discourse, especially related to the welfare of lecturers. Using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, as many as 22 scientific articles from highly reputable journals were analyzed to identify discourse configurations, representation strategies, and affective, performative, and algorithmic dynamics that shape public opinion related to the issue. The results show that YouTube acts as an alternative deliberative arena that allows academic actors to voice criticism, strengthen the legitimacy of personal experiences, and form digital solidarity. However, not all interactions on these platforms reflect rational deliberation in the Habermasian sense; Many of them are driven by emotional logic and algorithmic selection mechanisms. These dynamics result in complex discourse configurations, where affection and performativity are important elements in building policy narratives. This research contributes to the development of social policy studies and digital public spaces by emphasizing the importance of reading the deliberation process in the context of platform mediation and digital culture. Suggestions for further research include exploration of direct netnography and comparative studies between digital platforms to understand the variations in policy discourse dynamics in more depth.

Abstract

This study examines the dynamics and potential sources of conflict emerging from the Village Head Election (Pilkades) in Grujugan Kidul Village, Bondowoso Regency, Eas Java. Following the decentralization era, village democracy has provided wider participation opportunities for local communities; however, electoral competition at the village level often generates social tensions due to strong emotional ties and close social relations among villagers. The research aims to identify conflict potentials, analyze conflict patterns, and evaluate the effectiveness of conflict resolution mechanisms within village political processes. This research employs a qualitative participatory approach to obtain a holistic understanding of social realities surrounding Pilkades. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with nineteen informants selected through snowball sampling, and literature review. Conflict theory perspectives were applied as the analytical framework to interpret social interactions, elite dynamics, and patterns of political contestation occurring before, during, and after the election process. The findings reveal that conflict originated from limited public understanding of democratic values and competition, resulting in emotional rather than rational political support. Such conditions encouraged blind fanaticism among supporters and intensified polarization within the community. Conflict developed through three stages: latent conflict before the election, manifest conflict during the election, and complex post-election conflict involving community groups and local government institutions. The study also finds that conflict resolution mechanisms were ineffective due to persistent elite tensions and the weakened mediating role of religious leaders. Consequently, latent social disharmony continued to shape community relations even after the electoral process ended.
