Abstract

This study explores Indonesia’s e government development between 2016 and 2024, analyzing its implications for administrative efficiency and public trust. It assesses trends in the E Government Development Index (EGDI), emphasizing the sub-indices of Online Service Index (OSI), Telecommunication Infrastructure Index (TII), and Human Capital Index (HCI). The research also examines regional disparities, digital participation, and the influence of service quality on citizen trust. The methodology combines quantitative analyses of EGDI scores with governance metrics and citizen trust indicators, supplemented by regional comparative analysis and case studies. Correlational and regression models were used to evaluate the impact of digital service quality on trust, while qualitative data from literature and case studies offered contextual insights into implementation gaps. Findings show that improvements in OSI, TII, and HCI have contributed to better public service delivery and enhanced public trust. However, regional disparities persist, particularly between urban and rural areas, affecting digital participation and service equity. Trust in government is significantly shaped by service reliability, transparency, and inclusiveness. While EGDI offers a useful performance proxy, it does not fully capture service satisfaction or governance responsiveness. The study concludes that to ensure inclusive and effective digital governance, Indonesia must integrate citizen centric service design, institutionalize transparency through open data, and bridge infrastructure gaps through policy harmonization. These steps are essential to promote democratic accountability, administrative efficiency, and sustainable public trust in the digital era.

Abstract

This study investigates the pervasive role of informal political institutions in Southeast Asian governance, focusing on the entrenchment of clientelism, political dynasties, and bureaucratic patronage. Drawing on comparative political economy approaches, the research demonstrates that despite formal democratic frameworks, informal systems significantly shape governance outcomes. The objective is to identify how institutional weaknesses, elite continuity, and fiscal populism reinforce informality, and to assess the prospects for reform through anti dynasty legislation and civil service improvements. Methodologically, the study integrates qualitative analysis of political networks and informal practices with quantitative insights from fiscal and electoral data across Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, and other Southeast Asian states. Findings reveal that weak bureaucratic systems allow informal networks to dominate service delivery and political access. Political dynasties benefit from institutional voids and economic inequality, consolidating power through electoral dominance and intergenerational succession. Fiscal populism exacerbates these trends by diverting resources toward short term patronage schemes. In contrast, countries like Vietnam, which have pursued fiscal reforms with strong oversight, illustrate pathways for weakening informalism through inclusive, formalized state interventions. The study concludes that while informal institutions remain deeply embedded, targeted reforms such as professionalizing civil service and legislating against dynastic politics can strengthen accountability and institutional performance. Long term success hinges on the alignment of reform efforts with cultural, political, and fiscal realities across Southeast Asia.

Abstract

Political polarization represents a critical challenge for modern democracies, influencing political discourse, weakening institutional stability, and eroding civic trust. This review synthesizes key drivers, consequences, and global variations to provide an integrated understanding of its impact on democratic governance. Literature was systematically retrieved from Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar using keywords such as political polarization, affective polarization, partisan hostility, and democratic resilience. Studies were included if they addressed causes, consequences, or mitigation strategies within democratic contexts. The review synthesizes findings across quantitative, qualitative, and experimental research traditions. Findings show that polarization is fueled by the interaction of social media, populist rhetoric, and cultural identity conflicts, which collectively intensify both affective and ideological divisions. Consequences include reduced institutional effectiveness, weakened democratic norms, declining public trust, and heightened extremism. Comparative analysis reveals that advanced democracies tend to face ideologically rooted polarization, while developing democracies are more affected by identity-based and socio-economic divisions. Despite contextual differences, polarization consistently weakens democratic resilience and erodes social cohesion. The discussion connects these findings to theories of democracy, highlights systemic factors such as inequality and weak representation, and considers policy responses including institutional reform, civic education, and media regulation. Future research is recommended to adopt interdisciplinary, comparative, and longitudinal approaches. This review contributes a unique synthesis of interdisciplinary and cross-regional insights, underscoring the urgency of addressing polarization to safeguard democratic systems in an increasingly fragmented environment.

Abstract

This study provides a comprehensive narrative review of multilateral governance and its role in conflict resolution, focusing on global and regional mechanisms of peacebuilding and security. The objective was to examine how international and regional organizations address complex security challenges and to identify the systemic barriers that constrain their effectiveness. A systematic methodology was applied, drawing on peer-reviewed studies retrieved primarily from Scopus and Web of Science using key terms such as "security governance," "conflict resolution," "multilateralism," "regional security," and "peacebuilding." Inclusion criteria emphasized peer-reviewed publications from the last decade, with a focus on empirical and applied analyses. The findings reveal that international organizations such as the United Nations and NATO provide essential but distinct approaches to peacekeeping, while regional bodies like the African Union, ASEAN, and IGAD offer contextualized frameworks rooted in local realities. Social and economic factors, including resource governance, trade interdependence, and civil society participation, significantly enhance legitimacy and sustainability. Technological innovation, particularly big data and artificial intelligence, presents promising tools for conflict prevention, yet disparities in access perpetuate inequalities. Systemic barriers such as political fragmentation, structural imbalances, and disinformation continue to undermine multilateral efforts. The discussion emphasizes the importance of adaptive governance, inclusivity, and hybrid frameworks that integrate international oversight with local participation. The study concludes that multilateral approaches remain indispensable for addressing global security challenges. Policies should prioritize institutional capacity-building, inclusive governance, and digital resilience, while future research should explore hybrid models and interdisciplinary perspectives to strengthen sustainable conflict resolution.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping national cybersecurity strategies worldwide, offering both innovative defense mechanisms and complex new threats. This study examines how AI influences cybersecurity frameworks across the United States, United Kingdom, Singapore, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the European Union. The objective is to assess AI’s dual role as a tool for cyber defense and offense, and its broader implications for global digital stability. Using a comparative analytical framework, the research integrates qualitative data from national policy documents, institutional reports, and secondary literature. Key indicators include national AI strategies, public–private collaboration models, secure-by-design principles, and resilience metrics. Cross-case comparisons reveal structural gaps and highlight effective practices. Findings indicate a growing divide between advanced and developing regions. Technologically advanced economies have incorporated AI into predictive threat modeling and automated defense systems, while emerging regions face infrastructure constraints and fragmented regulations. The study also notes the escalating economic impact of AI-driven cybercrime, expected to exceed $10 trillion globally by 2025. Promising defense technologies such as immutable backups, predictive analytics, and AI-based Managed Detection and Response (MDR) are identified as critical components of modern cybersecurity systems. In conclusion, the integration of AI into cybersecurity demands balanced policies that foster innovation while ensuring ethical governance, global interoperability, and equitable capacity building. The study advocates harmonized regulatory standards, stronger public–private partnerships, and inclusive governance to enhance global cybersecurity resilience in the AI era.
