Abstract

The empowerment of fishing communities in West Aceh Regency through local economic strengthening has gained significance, especially amidst the socioeconomic challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. This research highlights the economic vulnerabilities of coastal communities, most of whom belong to the lower-income group, a condition further exacerbated by the pandemic. While government initiatives, such as facilitating fishery export collaborations, have aimed to bolster the local economy, their implementation has been hindered by limited administrative services and insufficient community participation. Findings reveal that financial aid programs during the pandemic were often poorly targeted and ineffective in addressing the core issues faced by fishers. To overcome these challenges, empowerment strategies such as establishing cooperatives, collective business management, and strengthening partnerships with stakeholders are proposed. In Samatiga Sub-district, efforts have been directed toward enhancing the market value of fishery products through organized fisher groups. However, both structural limitations and local government constraints pose challenges to the success of these programs. A holistic, participatory, and sustainable approach is essential for fostering the welfare of fishing communities and achieving robust local economic development in West Aceh Regency.AbstrakPemberdayaan masyarakat nelayan di Kabupaten Aceh Barat melalui penguatan ekonomi lokal menjadi isu yang semakin penting, terutama di tengah tantangan sosial-ekonomi akibat pandemi COVID-19. Penelitian ini menyoroti kerentanan ekonomi masyarakat pesisir, yang sebagian besar berada pada kelompok berpenghasilan rendah, dengan kondisi yang semakin memburuk akibat pandemi. Meskipun berbagai inisiatif pemerintah, seperti memfasilitasi kerja sama ekspor perikanan, telah diterapkan untuk mendukung penguatan ekonomi lokal, pelaksanaannya masih terkendala oleh keterbatasan layanan administratif dan minimnya partisipasi masyarakat. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa program bantuan keuangan selama pandemi sering kali tidak tepat sasaran dan kurang efektif dalam mengatasi permasalahan utama nelayan. Untuk mengatasi tantangan ini, strategi pemberdayaan yang diusulkan mencakup pembentukan koperasi nelayan, pengelolaan usaha secara kolektif, serta penguatan kerja sama dengan pemangku kepentingan. Di Kecamatan Samatiga, upaya pemberdayaan difokuskan pada peningkatan nilai jual hasil tangkapan nelayan melalui kelompok nelayan yang terorganisasi. Namun, keterbatasan struktural dan kendala pemerintah daerah menjadi tantangan dalam keberhasilan program-program tersebut. Pendekatan yang holistik, partisipatif, dan berkelanjutan sangat diperlukan untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat nelayan dan mendorong pengembangan ekonomi lokal yang kokoh di Kabupaten Aceh Barat.

Abstract

The relationship between India and ASEAN holds strategic importance in the evolving geopolitical landscape. Amidst growing global challenges, close collaboration in economics, security, and connectivity is pivotal for achieving stability and shared prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region. The Act East Policy (AEP) has strengthened economic ties between India and ASEAN, yet challenges remain in realizing the full potential of this partnership. ASEAN's selection as a central pillar of AEP underscores a blend of strategic, economic, and security interests, complemented by deep historical ties between India and ASEAN member states. The policy has enhanced strategic relations by fostering economic cooperation, multilateral diplomacy, security collaboration, and regional connectivity, creating a mutually beneficial partnership. However, issues such as trade imbalances, geopolitical tensions, and infrastructure limitations may hinder the effective implementation of AEP, posing risks for ASEAN countries. Addressing these challenges is critical to maximizing the benefits of the India-ASEAN partnership under the Act East Policy.AbstrakHubungan antara India dan ASEAN memiliki kepentingan strategis dalam dinamika geopolitik yang terus berkembang. Di tengah tantangan global yang semakin kompleks, kolaborasi erat di bidang ekonomi, keamanan, dan konektivitas menjadi kunci untuk mencapai stabilitas dan kemakmuran bersama di kawasan Indo-Pasifik. Kebijakan Act East Policy (AEP) telah memperkuat hubungan ekonomi antara India dan ASEAN, meskipun masih terdapat tantangan untuk mewujudkan potensi penuh dari kemitraan ini. Pemilihan ASEAN sebagai pilar utama AEP mencerminkan perpaduan antara kepentingan strategis, ekonomi, dan keamanan, yang didukung oleh ikatan sejarah yang kuat antara India dan negara-negara anggota ASEAN. Kebijakan ini telah meningkatkan hubungan strategis melalui penguatan kerja sama ekonomi, diplomasi multilateral, kolaborasi keamanan, dan konektivitas regional, menciptakan hubungan kemitraan yang saling menguntungkan. Namun, ketidakseimbangan perdagangan, ketegangan geopolitik, dan keterbatasan infrastruktur dapat menghambat implementasi AEP, yang berisiko merugikan negara-negara ASEAN. Penanganan tantangan ini menjadi krusial untuk memaksimalkan manfaat kemitraan India-ASEAN di bawah kerangka kebijakan Act East Policy.

Abstract

The consumption-oriented lifestyle of contemporary society reflects how individuals express identity through the goods and activities they consume. Pierre Bourdieu, in his seminal work Distinction, explores how consumption operates as a mechanism to maintain social differentiation, leveraging cultural, social, and economic capital. This study employs a literature review to investigate Bourdieu's contributions to the sociology of consumption. The findings reveal that consumption serves as a battleground for class struggles, where individuals and groups use consumption patterns to assert and sustain their status within social hierarchies. From Bourdieu's perspective, consumption is not merely an expression of individuality but a tool for reinforcing social distinctions and reproducing class structures. His critique of taste judgments highlights how dominant classes validate their social power by imposing upper-class tastes as universal standards, perpetuating social hierarchies while obscuring underlying economic inequalities. The analysis emphasizes that upper-class preferences are not only reflective of status but also instrumental in sustaining cultural domination.AbstrakGaya hidup konsumtif dalam masyarakat kontemporer mencerminkan bagaimana individu mengekspresikan identitas melalui barang dan aktivitas yang mereka konsumsi. Dalam karya utamanya, Distinction, Pierre Bourdieu mengkaji konsumsi sebagai mekanisme untuk mempertahankan pembedaan sosial dengan memanfaatkan modal budaya, modal sosial, dan modal ekonomi. Studi ini menggunakan metode kajian pustaka untuk mengeksplorasi kontribusi Bourdieu terhadap sosiologi konsumsi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa konsumsi berperan sebagai arena perjuangan kelas, di mana individu dan kelompok memanfaatkan pola konsumsi untuk menunjukkan dan mempertahankan status mereka dalam hierarki sosial. Dalam perspektif Bourdieu, konsumsi tidak hanya menjadi ekspresi individu, tetapi juga alat untuk memperkuat pembedaan sosial dan mereproduksi struktur kelas. Kritik Bourdieu terhadap penilaian selera menyoroti bagaimana kelas dominan memvalidasi kekuasaan sosial mereka dengan memaksakan selera kelas atas sebagai standar universal. Hal ini memperkuat hierarki sosial sekaligus menyamarkan ketimpangan ekonomi di balik perbedaan budaya yang diakui. Kajian ini menegaskan bahwa preferensi kelas atas tidak hanya mencerminkan status, tetapi juga menjadi sarana dominasi budaya.

Abstract

The Student Regiment is an organization established by the military to train students as a supporting component of national defense. This study aims to analyze the role of the Student Regiment in the context of state defense and national resilience post-reformation. The research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive method, combining document and field studies. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with officials, members, and alumni of the Student Regiment, as well as relevant academics, supported by secondary data from literature and official documents. The findings reveal that post-reformation, the Student Regiment faced significant challenges, including the elimination of hierarchical relationships with the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) and the reduction of its status to a Student Activity Unit. Internal and external dynamics, such as ambiguous government policies and concerns over politicization, influenced its role and sustainability. However, through the PSDN Law No. 23 of 2019, the Student Regiment is recognized as a supporting component of national defense. In conclusion, the Student Regiment continues to contribute to fostering national defense awareness and resilience. Nevertheless, more systematic guidance and empowerment are needed to optimize its role in Indonesias universal defense system.AbstrakResimen Mahasiswa adalah organisasi yang dibentuk oleh militer untuk melatih mahasiswa sebagai komponen pendukung pertahanan negara. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis peran Resimen Mahasiswa dalam konteks bela negara dan ketahanan nasional pasca-reformasi. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode deskriptif, menggabungkan studi dokumen dan lapangan. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam dengan pejabat, anggota, dan alumni Resimen Mahasiswa, serta akademisi terkait, didukung data sekunder dari literatur dan dokumen resmi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pasca-reformasi, Resimen Mahasiswa menghadapi tantangan signifikan, termasuk penghapusan hubungan hierarkis dengan TNI dan penurunan status menjadi Unit Kegiatan Mahasiswa. Dinamika internal dan eksternal, seperti kebijakan pemerintah yang ambigu dan kekhawatiran akan politisasi, memengaruhi peran dan keberlanjutan Resimen Mahasiswa. Namun, melalui Undang-Undang PSDN No. 23 Tahun 2019, Resimen Mahasiswa diakui sebagai komponen pendukung pertahanan negara. Kajian ini menyimpulkan bahwa Resimen Mahasiswa tetap berkontribusi dalam meningkatkan kesadaran bela negara dan ketahanan nasional. Namun, pembinaan dan pemberdayaan yang lebih sistematis diperlukan untuk mengoptimalkan peran organisasi ini dalam sistem pertahanan rakyat semesta.

Abstract

The Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH) is a social protection initiative providing non-cash assistance aimed at developing human resources with a focus on education, health, and social welfare. However, several obstacles were identified in its implementation in Gampong Lamgugob, and the data collected sometimes did not align with the actual execution of the program. This study aims to examine the dynamics of PKH implementation in Gampong Lamgugob and analyze the challenges it faces. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, utilizing purposive sampling to select participants based on specific characteristics. Data collection was carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings revealed that PKH recipients remain economically disadvantaged, with notable barriers including limited collaboration with the village head, inadequate socialization efforts by facilitators, and inaccuracies in targeting assistance recipients. Despite these shortcomings, the community acknowledges that PKH has provided significant relief and support. In conclusion, while the PKH program in Gampong Lamgugob has not been fully optimized, it has contributed positively to improving community welfare.AbstrakProgram Keluarga Harapan (PKH) adalah program perlindungan sosial yang memberikan bantuan non-tunai untuk mendukung pengembangan sumber daya manusia, khususnya dalam aspek pendidikan, kesehatan, dan kesejahteraan sosial. Namun, pelaksanaan PKH di Gampong Lamgugob menghadapi beberapa hambatan, termasuk ketidaksesuaian antara data yang ditemukan dengan implementasi program. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dinamika pelaksanaan PKH di Gampong Lamgugob serta mengidentifikasi kendala yang dihadapi. Penelitian menggunakan metode deskriptif dengan pendekatan kualitatif, menggunakan purposive sampling untuk memilih sampel berdasarkan karakteristik tertentu. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa masyarakat penerima PKH masih berada dalam kondisi ekonomi yang lemah. Hambatan utama dalam pelaksanaan program meliputi kurangnya kolaborasi antara pendamping dan kepala desa, minimnya kegiatan sosialisasi, serta penyaluran bantuan yang tidak tepat sasaran. Meskipun demikian, masyarakat mengakui bahwa PKH memberikan manfaat, terutama dalam meringankan beban hidup mereka. Kesimpulannya, pelaksanaan PKH di Gampong Lamgugob telah memberikan kontribusi positif, tetapi belum sepenuhnya optimal. Analisis ini juga menggunakan Teori Keadilan untuk mengevaluasi pelaksanaan program dan menyoroti pentingnya perbaikan kolaborasi, sosialisasi, dan pengawasan untuk memastikan keberlanjutan dan efektivitas program di masa depan.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the political strategies employed by the Regional Leadership Council (DPD) of the GOLKAR Party in building the partys image in North Aceh Regency during the 2024 General Election. The research adopts a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing data collection techniques such as interviews, observation, documentation, and literature review. The findings reveal that GOLKAR's strategies include implementing social programs, strengthening the role of local figures, and conducting political training. However, challenges remain in the limited use of social media and the uneven distribution of campaign activities. The analysis is grounded in Peter Schroders theory of political strategy and Frank Jefkins public relations theory. The study shows that the DPD GOLKAR Party of North Aceh builds its party image by organizing a Political Institute program for the community. Additionally, GOLKAR maximizes its approach through influential local figures, leveraging their personal closeness to the people. This study recommends that the party should not focus its campaign efforts solely on areas where it already has voter support but should expand its campaigns throughout all regions of North Aceh.

Abstract

In contemporary democracies, elections are not merely contests of policy and vision but increasingly arenas where identity politics shape voter behavior. This paper examines how collective identities particularly religion became central instruments in the 2019 general elections of Indonesia and India, two populous and multicultural democracies. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach with a comparative case study design, this research analyzes how political actors mobilized identity-based narratives to influence electoral outcomes. Data were collected from academic literature, political documents, speeches, media reports, and digital campaign materials. In India, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) effectively utilized Hindu nationalism as a campaign tool, supported by digital platforms, to consolidate the Hindu majority vote. In Indonesia, Islamic identity narratives played a significant role in shaping support for the presidential candidates, with religious figures actively participating in identity-based mobilization. The findings suggest that identity politics in both countries contributed to social polarization, undermining democratic deliberation and national integration. This study offers a critical reflection on the consequences of identity-driven politics in democratic societies.

Abstract

Political participation is a constitutional right guaranteed to all citizens, including women. In regional head elections (Pilkada), women play essential roles not only as voters but also as organizers and campaign participants. This study aims to analyze the forms and influencing factors of womens political participation in the 2024 Pilkada in Gampong Gunong Kleng, Aceh Barat District. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation during the election stages, and documentation from election committees. The findings reveal a significant increase in women's involvement, particularly in roles such as polling officers, witnesses, campaign teams, and active voters. This active participation reflects progress toward a more inclusive and gender-equitable local democracy. The study recommends the implementation of affirmative policies, political education, and the creation of a conducive social environment to enhance women's political engagement.
