Abstract

Maize is a strategic agricultural commodity used both as a food source and as a major component of animal feed, making increased production increasingly important. One way to improve maize productivity is to use superior maize seeds. However, farmers’ access to these seeds remains uneven due to constraints in the distribution system. This study analyzes the social network structure of the maize seed distribution system and identifies the key actors influencing farmers’ access to seeds, information, and solutions. Using a Social Network Analysis (SNA) approach with an ego-network perspective, the study was conducted in two maize-producing sub-districts in Garut Regency and involved 100 farmers selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using Gephi 0.10. The results show that the seed distribution network is direct, heterogeneous, and relatively sparse, with farmers connected mainly to specific central actors rather than through intermediary channels. Farm shops, fellow farmers, and government assistance programmes occupy dominant positions in the network, indicating the importance of market-based mechanisms, informal farmer networks, and state support in shaping seed access. In contrast, local institutional actors, particularly cooperatives and farmer groups, have not played an optimal role in the distribution network. These findings suggest that improving farmers’ access to superior maize seeds requires strengthening local farmer institutions, increasing coordination among distribution actors, and reducing dependence on a limited number of dominant actors.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has generated new forms of technology disputes involving algorithmic opacity, data governance, liability allocation, and cross-border contractual relations. These disputes challenge conventional dispute resolution mechanisms and increase the relevance of arbitration as a flexible, confidential, and expert-oriented forum. This study examines the regulation of arbitration in AI technology disputes from the perspective of Indonesian and European Union law. Using normative legal research with statutory and comparative approaches, it analyses Indonesia’s Law No. 30 of 1999 on Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution and compares it with the European Union’s AI and digital governance framework. The findings show that Indonesia’s arbitration framework remains general and insufficiently prepared for AI-related disputes due to the absence of AI-specific regulation, evidentiary imbalance, limited institutional readiness, and an underdeveloped public policy framework for algorithmic risks. By contrast, the European Union provides more developed substantive standards through the EU Artificial Intelligence Act, the General Data Protection Regulation, and related digital regulations, although it does not establish a specific arbitration regime for AI disputes. This study argues that Indonesia needs adaptive arbitration reform through AI-specific regulation, strengthened arbitral expertise, digital evidence mechanisms, and technology-sensitive arbitration clauses.

Abstract

This article examines how clientelistic political practices are reorganized through digital platforms in Indonesian electoral politics. Existing studies of patronage and clientelism in Indonesia have largely emphasized face-to-face brokerage, vote-buying, local elite networks, and material exchange, while the platform-based mediation of these practices has received less systematic examination. Drawing on a qualitative interpretive case study combined with digital ethnography, this study analyses in-depth interviews with 40 informants, digital observations, social media content, and anonymized digital campaign archives collected in the context of the 2024 electoral cycle and related campaign activities. The informants consisted of campaign team members, digital volunteers, WhatsApp group administrators, political influencers or buzzers, and active social media voters. The findings show that digitalization does not replace conventional patronage but extends, reorganizes, and partly obscures it through platform-based communication networks. WhatsApp groups operate as semi-private spaces for campaign coordination, message circulation, political instruction, loyalty reinforcement, and subtle support monitoring. Digital volunteers, influencers, buzzers, and group administrators perform brokerage functions by connecting candidates with voters, amplifying narratives, managing online communities, and translating offline political exchanges into shareable digital content. Political incentives also circulate in more flexible forms, including internet quota, e-wallet transfers, operational funds, endorsement fees, content-production support, and logistical assistance for digital campaign work. These practices blur the boundaries between voluntary participation, paid promotion, campaign financing, and clientelistic mobilization. The article contributes to the literature on patronage-clientelism and digital political communication by conceptualizing platformed patronage as a hybrid electoral practice shaped by digital infrastructures, affective visibility, networked intermediation, incentive circulation, and loyalty formation.
