Abstract

This study examines the relevance of religious moderation in Indonesia by analyzing Sulh-e-Kull and Din-e-Ilahi, policies of Sultan Akbar during the Mughal Dynasty. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach, it explores how Akbar’s tolerance policies—such as abolishing the jizyah tax, establishing interfaith spaces, and promoting interfaith marriages—fostered social and political integration. The findings highlight that religious moderation not only preserves societal harmony but also strengthens political legitimacy. However, challenges arise from misconceptions equating moderation with absolute pluralism. Learning from Akbar’s successes and criticisms, Indonesia can adopt tolerance-based governance while upholding religious principles. This study concludes that effective religious moderation requires respecting diverse beliefs without compromising core faith values. Policymakers should implement inclusive policies, encourage interfaith dialogue, and promote historical awareness to sustain national unity in a pluralistic society.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of cultural heritage preservation policies in Kampung Tugu amidst industrialization that threatens its sustainability. This study used a qualitative method with a descriptive approach; data were collected through interviews with the North Jakarta City Administration Culture Office and the Kampung Tugu community, field observations, and literature studies. Data analysis was conducted using Van Meter and Van Horn’s policy implementation theory, evaluating policy standards, resources, implementer characteristics, inter-organizational communication, implementer disposition, and the socio-economic and political environment. The findings indicate that policy implementation has not been fully effective. While the government has made efforts to develop Kampung Tugu as a Tourism Village through initiatives such as the Living Museum and Keroncong music groups, land use changes and industrialization continue to degrade the area. Key obstacles include overlapping regulations, lack of inter-agency coordination, and inconsistent government leadership. The local community plays a significant role in preservation efforts but struggles with land rights and environmental challenges. The study concludes that although legal frameworks support heritage preservation, economic interests often take precedence, hindering effective policy execution. This research provides insights for policymakers, academics, and communities on the complexities of cultural heritage preservation in the face of urban development, and it highlights the need for future studies to integrate economic perspectives to ensure the sustainability of Kampung Tugu.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of work culture and communication among public officials on the quality of public reporting services at the Head of the Subdistrict Office in Tanjung Duren, West Jakarta, with a specific focus on the implementation of the Qlue application. Using a descriptive quantitative research method, the study investigates two independent variables—work culture and communication—and their effects on the dependent variable, namely the quality of public reporting services. Data collection was carried out through a census technique involving 150 respondents. The findings show that work culture significantly influences the quality of public services, contributing 53.9% to the variance. Communication also has a significant effect, accounting for 54.5%. When both variables are combined, they explain 57.1% of the variance in the quality of public reporting services. These results indicate that improving both internal culture and communication practices among public officials can substantially enhance the effectiveness of digital public service platforms such as Qlue. The study emphasizes the importance of good leadership, effective policy implementation, and active community participation in optimizing service delivery. It is recommended that the Head of the Subdistrict Office take strategic steps to strengthen the work culture by improving officials’ attitudes, perspectives, and behaviors to maximize the potential of digital tools in public administration.

Abstract

This article examines Indonesia’s economic diplomacy strategy within the global electric vehicle (EV) battery value chain, with a focus on the country's downstream nickel industrial policy. As the world’s largest nickel producer, Indonesia has leveraged its resource advantage by banning raw nickel exports and promoting domestic value-added production. This policy has attracted significant Chinese investment, particularly from companies such as CATL and Tsingshan, while simultaneously triggering a legal dispute with the European Union (EU) at the World Trade Organization (WTO). Through the conceptual lens of economic diplomacy and geoeconomics, this study analyzes how Indonesia, as a rising middle power, navigates competing interests between China and the EU. Using a qualitative case study method and discourse analysis of policy documents and international reports, the article argues that Indonesia’s industrial policy serves both economic and diplomatic functions. It concludes that Indonesia must enhance its institutional capacity and technological diplomacy to avoid asymmetric dependence and to maintain strategic autonomy in an increasingly polarized global supply chain.

Abstract

The United States' approach through the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (Quad) demonstrates the use of economic diplomacy and soft balancing as strategic tools to address China's growing influence in the Indo-Pacific under the Biden administration. This research explores how the United States leverages economic collaboration within the Quad framework to counterbalance China's regional dominance without resorting to military confrontation. Adopting a qualitative descriptive method and literature review, the study applies Stephen D. Krasner's theory of international regimes in combination with the concept of economic diplomacy. The findings emphasize key initiatives such as the Quad Vaccine Partnership, the Infrastructure Coordination Group, and joint efforts on critical and emerging technologies as pivotal in offering Indo-Pacific states alternatives to economic reliance on China. These actions strengthen the US's economic and diplomatic reach and indicate a shift in foreign policy toward multilateral engagement grounded in democratic principles and openness. Nonetheless, the strategy faces obstacles, including divergent interests among Quad members and institutional limitations in policy execution. Ultimately, the economic dimension of the Quad plays a vital role in United States efforts to navigate strategic rivalry in the Indo-Pacific and may serve as a model for other regional alliances pursuing peaceful responses to geopolitical competition.

Abstract

This study examines Russia’s deployment of HermeticWiper malware in the early hours preceding the 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine as part of a broader hybrid warfare strategy. Unlike conventional cyberattacks focused on espionage or financial gain, HermeticWiper was designed to irreversibly destroy digital infrastructure, disrupting governance, finance, and communication sectors. Using a qualitative case study method with secondary data from technical reports, academic literature, and verified media, the study finds that the malware was strategically aligned with military objectives. Despite the destructive intent, Ukraine demonstrated significant cyber resilience through formal institutional responses and collaborations with Microsoft, ESET, and its volunteer-based IT Army. The study applies the National Cybersecurity Strategy framework and Desecuritization Theory to highlight how Ukraine addressed the threat without escalating the conflict. These findings illustrate a paradigmatic shift in modern warfare, where digital domains play a central role in national defense.

Abstract

This research examines Switzerland's sanctions policy towards Russia during the 2022 Ukraine conflict, utilizing Martha Finnemore's constructivist approach. Switzerland is widely known for its long-standing commitment to human rights, as well as its traditional inclination toward neutrality in international affairs. This study seeks to understand why, despite its cautious stance in most global conflicts, Switzerland chose to adopt the European Union's sanctions in response to serious violations of international humanitarian law committed during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Employing a qualitative descriptive method through literature review and policy analysis, the research applies Finnemore's concept of ideas and norms to explore how deeply rooted human rights values shape Swiss foreign policy behavior. The findings reveal that the sanctions imposed by Switzerland are not merely political gestures, but rather a reflection of human rights norms that have been internalized through its constitution, legal system, and long-standing role in international humanitarian institutions. The study concludes that Switzerland's decision represents a consistent normative commitment to defend universal human rights and uphold the principles of international law.

Abstract

  Human trafficking remains a critical transnational challenge in Southeast Asia, with migrant workers in Indonesia facing heightened vulnerability to exploitation. This paper examines the role of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime UNODC in facilitating cooperation between Indonesia and Cambodia to counter such trafficking. The objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of UNODC’s initiatives as a multilateral facilitator in enhancing bilateral anti-trafficking efforts in the region,the study employs qualitative descriptive methods, drawing on 2022 UNODC reports, regional policy documents, and expert interviews to analyze institutional mechanisms, legal coordination, and operational support,findings indicate that UNODC has significantly contributed to law enforcement capacity-building, fostered diplomatic engagement, and promoted public awareness. Nevertheless, structural challenges—including inconsistent legal frameworks, limited cross-border coordination, and resource constraints continue to impede sustainable progress, Theoretically, the research contributes to understanding UNODC’s role in shaping multilateral governance structures against transnational crime. Practically, it provides policy recommendations to enhance cross-border cooperation and institutional resilience, the paper concludes that while UNODC plays an essential role in regional anti-trafficking efforts, long-term protection for migrant populations requires harmonized legal instruments, sustained education programs, and strengthened enforcement capacity. A more durable and collaborative framework is urgently needed to safeguard vulnerable groups across borders.

Abstract

The development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has brought significant changes to the defense sector, particularly through the emergence of autonomous weapon systems. In this context, major countries are competing to harness the potential of AI to enhance their military capabilities, including Russia, which has shown significant progress in integrating AI into its defense policy especially amid rising geopolitical tensions. This study aims to analyze the main factors driving Russia to develop AI-based autonomous weapon systems as part of its military policy during the Russia-Ukraine conflict in the period 2022–2024. Using qualitative methods and a literature review approach, this research processes secondary data from various relevant official and academic sources, including defense reports, peer-reviewed journals, military analyses by experts, and interviews published by credible international media outlets. To better understand Russia's strategic direction, this study uses the Offense-Defense Balance (ODB) Theory, which explores how shifts in dominance between offensive and defensive capabilities affect the likelihood of conflict escalation. This theoretical framework helps explain how technological advances particularly in artificial intelligence (AI)-based weapon systems can alter the military balance and drive more aggressive strategies. Theoretically, this study contributes to the expansion of the application of ODB Theory in AI-driven warfare. Practically, it provides insights into Russia's military modernization efforts and their broader implications for global security, both in the short and long term, within an increasingly complex and unpredictable international landscape.

Abstract

Amid the rise of economic nationalism and increasing uncertainty in global trade governance, understanding the impact of unilateral trade enforcement on bilateral relations has become critically important. This study explores the resurgence of protectionist policies under President Donald J. Trump, with a particular focus on their effects on U.S.–Canada trade relations and the broader global trend toward economic nationalism. Employing a qualitative case study approach supported by a simple tariff simulation, the research examines how instruments such as anti-dumping (AD) and countervailing duties (CVD) were utilized to protect domestic industries. The simulation indicates that imposing a 21% tariff on Canadian softwood lumber could significantly reduce import volumes while potentially increasing domestic output by 121.8%. However, these protectionist measures also intensified trade tensions, disrupted longstanding alliances, and weakened trust in multilateral institutions such as the WTO. By integrating empirical estimation with policy narrative analysis, this study contributes to the literature on trade policy, emphasizing that while unilateral protectionism may offer short-term domestic advantages, it requires careful calibration with economic diplomacy to ensure the sustainability of global trade cooperation.
