Abstract

Along with the Hindu religion and culture, adat is recognized as a strong characteristic to describe the level of kebalian (Baliness). Adat appears as a control for the emergence of social, religious, and cultural problems. In practice, it also shows a strong dominance to discipline members of community to adhere to state regulations. However, the discourse on adat also provides an illustration of how adat can be used as a differentiating strategy in everyday customary practices. In performing an ethnographic study in Tenganan Pegringsingan, a community that in colonial literature is referred as “Bali Aga”, this article investigates how adat is shaped and deployed by various actors to define their identity and reposition themselves in the dominant discourse of southern Bali. This article challenges the general assumption that after the Reforms, the adat revival movement was carried out to achieve recognition and receive protection from the state. This article instead shows that the adat movement in Bali tends to diverge from the global indigenous movement. The movement that was constructed does not correlate with the global indigenous movement. The article argues that the Tenganan people only used self-identification strategies to emphasize the differences in the position of their group in Bali.

Abstract

This article examines the United States’ decision to admit 10,000 Syrian refugees in the fiscal year of 2016 amidst potential national security concerns brought by the incoming refugees. In past studies, United States’ policies of refugee admission mainly focused on the security and political interests, while this particular admission decision reflected a different interest consideration, namely the ideational aspect of the United States as a nation of immigrants. Through discourse analysis on the speeches and remarks made by government actors of the United States, this research offers an alternative perspective on understanding how the United States came to a decision that may not reflect traditional security interests, but reflects its ontological security needs or its security of being. Using the framework of analysis offered by Brent J. Steele, this research finds that the United States’ awareness of its capabilities, along with past memory as a nation of immigrants and urgings from fellow international actors, affects the United States in reaching the decision to admit Syrian refugees.

Abstract

This article analyses the existence of Mickey Mouse as the mascot of the Walt Disney Company based on global value chain perspective. As the official mascot of Walt Disney Company, Mickey Mouse has been well-established since 1928 to the present day, its artwork having been produced as motion pictures, television series, comics, books, and theme parks. Its existence has made Walt Disney Company as one of the most successful multinational companies that dominate the entertainment industry in the world. Earlier studies have explained that the existence of a company’s mascot in the entertainment industry is perpetuated by the company’s strategy through branding and supply chain management. However, in the global value chain, previous studies have not yet discussed companies by their mascots, focusing only on the business activities in the industry. Therefore, this article analyses the mascot of the Walt Disney Company: Mickey Mouse,in building the company into the global economy using the global value chain perspective. Nonetheless, the branding strategy and supply chain management correlate to one of the global value chain elements, theinput-output structure. The perpetuation of the existence of a mascot is supported by other global value chain elements, namelythe local institutional context and geographic scope.

Abstract

The high number of bullying cases among students is one of the problems of education in Indonesia. Previous studies stated that socio economic status (SES), social capital, ethnicity and parenting were the factors leading to the practice of bullying in schools. Students with low SES levels more often fall victim to bullying compared to students who have high SES levels. Likewise, with social capital, students who have a low level of popularity and weak social networks are more vulnerable of bullying from their friends.In addition, victims of bullying are often students from ethnic minorities. Students who become victims of bullying also tend to have strict and overprotective parents. By using a quantitative approach in the form of a survey and binary logistic regression data processing technique, in this article the author uses two main variables, namely SES and social capital, which is then analysed using multicausal analysis simultaneously to observe the more dominant factors in influencing the practice of bullying at school. The results show that students who have low social capital are six times more likely to be victims than students who have high social capital.Meanwhile, the SES level variable is stated not to correlate with bullying in SMAN X in Karawang, West Java. Therefore, the variable of social capital is known to be a more dominant factor as a causeof the practice of bullying compared to the variable of SES level.

Abstract

This article discusses social control of families to their children following drug rehabilitation. Juveniles who have completed rehabilitation programs will experience a resocialization process,i.e. socialization to a new environment or the old environment they once left. Previous studies have identified that the juvenile resocialization process after rehabilitation is influenced by the social environment and family factors. The resocialization process, alongside social control from the family, can prevent the behavior of re-using drugs or relapsing. This article is written based on a qualitative research. The primary data are obtained from juveniles aged 12-18 years, not married, and have experienced drug rehabilitation. This article indicate that there is a relationship between emotional bonding and the control of love-oriented discipline. The emotional bonds found in this study tend to be negative with the control of the love-oriented discipline, encouraging the child’s behavior of relapsing. Furthermore, the results of this study indicate that the form of discipline methods used by parents can have different implications for different children, so the form of appropriate control method to the child’s behavior cannot be determined.

Abstract

Parenting styles within military families had implications towards their children’s behav- ior. Previous studies discussed on the parenting pattern but few has associated it with the fundamental change of Indonesian military organization post Reformation era. Therefore, this article discusses the difference of parenting pattern in the military family before and after the Reformation, and its impact towards children’s behavior. The argument is based on that change of fundamental values in the Indonesian military in New Order and post Reformation era is aligned with the changing of parenting in the military family. Those changes most likely affected the children’s behavior indirectly. In this article we use the case of parents from the military family who joined military in the New Order and post Reformation. The method used in the research for this article is qualitative method where data are gathered by conducting in-depth interviews with the respondents consist of father, mother and child from military families both from New Order era and post Reformation era who live in Depok City. This article shows that parenting style in the New Order and post Reformation military family in between democratic and authoritarian style.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has had profound effects on the livelihoods of vulnerable groups. Previous studies have indicated that vulnerable groups in urban areas suffer more economic impacts than their counterparts in rural areas, largely due to mobility restrictions, social and physical distancing measures, and pre-pandemic vulnerabilities, exacerbating the challenges that urban groups face to survive. This article examines variations in the impacts and coping strategies of vulnerable groups in selected urban and rural areas in Indonesia during the COVID-19 pandemic, and determines how these impacts and coping strategies have shaped the trajectory of community resilience. The article argues that although vulnerable groups in urban areas are more susceptible to the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, both urban and rural groups share the same lack of capacity to address the impacts of the pandemic. The study finds that the government continues to struggle to provide timely and well-targeted assistance to the worst affected groups. The government has demonstrated low capacity in delivering transparent and coherent messages on the risks of the pandemic in order to increase the community’s capacity for resilience. Primary data were collected using qualitative research methods in the form of in-depth interviews with a wide range of informants, including vulnerable groups, community leaders, and local government officials.

Abstract

A number of studies have shown various agrarian conflicts as a response by local farmers against the policy of national parks that prohibits them from accessing conservation forest areas. However, previous studies had not explained the dynamics of power relations between park authorities and farmers who stand in opposition to these policies. This study employs a qualitative research approach complemented by secondary data to explain the transformation of farmer resistance in the Mount Halimun-Salak National Park (TNGHS) area, namely from their repertoire of everyday resistance to practices of land occupation. Specifically, this study uses the “powercube” analytical framework to explain the process of this transformation. The study concludes that changes have occurred within the dimensions of peasant power. Regarding the space of power, the power of farmers was transformed from being strictly exerted within closed spaces to being more open (invited), which enables them to conduct negotiations with the park authorities. Meanwhile, farmers now exert their power at the local TNGHS area level, after previously only taking place within each household. Finally, the form of power has changed from being hidden to more visible, which allows them to acquire the “recognition” of TNGHS authorities as legitimate sharecroppers. Farmers have been able to occupy land by taking advantage of the political space provided by a period of democratization, as well as their ability to mobilize economic capital and forge social relations with various actors, including the TNGHS park authorities.

Abstract

The increasing religious conservatism within Indonesian society has propelled the growth of hatred and vigilantism targeting sexual minorities—which are seen as committing an unforgiven sin—especially towards LGBTs (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender). This study addresses the processes that these minorities experience in order to express their sexual identities and forge social relationships with fellow same-sex queers. In specific, this study focuses on the ways young gays begin to understand and develop their sexual identity amidst a largely hostile social environment. By utilizing social media, these young gays have built digital communities for socialising with fellow gay people, as well as to express their sexual orientation while remaining concealed from other parts of society. Yet, by being forced to keep a low profile, they have also been disincentivized from paying attention to promote their civic and citizenship rights. The findings of this study are based on several qualitative interviews with young gays living in the city of Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Abstract

The problem of social segregation gains new relevance as digital technology has now become the core of people’s lives and work. Unfortunately, this factor is often neglected in studies of social segregation. Previous studies have only taken note of social and spatial segregation. This study aims to fill a conceptual gap by raising the virtual dimension within socio-spatial segregation. This research finds that virtual segregation has strengthened segregationist tendencies that follow the growth of luxurious housing complexes and gated communities. Furthermore, this study also asserts that deregulation policies in housing and the commercial development of telecommunication infrastructure are factors that exacerbate the tendency of social segregation. Although communities may currently find segregation to be socially acceptable, in the long run, this tendency will complicate efforts to strengthen social cohesion and may intensify socio-economic problems across the population . Focusing on the case of Yogyakarta, this study employs a combination of methods for collecting data that include secondary data analysis, interviews, and Focus Group Discussions.
