Abstract

The study adopted the import-led and export-led growth theories, arguing that imports of capital goods and exports of commodities can stimulate productivity and economic growth. Using a modified Cobb-Douglas production framework and annual time series data from 1996–2023, the study specified an ARDL model, the study specified an ARDL model to examine how Nigeria’s imports of electrical power machinery and iron and steel from South Africa affected manufacturing output. Unit root, cointegration, multicollinearity, autocorrelation, heteroskedasticity, and stability tests were conducted using E-Views 10. The results showed moderate correlations among the variables, with no coefficient exceeding 0.80, indicating absence of multicollinearity. The ARDL lag selection used Akaike Information Criterion, while the Bounds test confirmed cointegration since the F-statistic (4.437013) exceeded the 5% upper bound (3.38), implying a long-run relationship. Long-run estimates revealed that electrical power machinery imports positively influenced manufacturing output, while real exchange rate and GDP growth negatively affected it. In the short run, electrical machinery, iron and steel imports, and exchange rate significantly boosted output. Diagnostic tests confirmed no autocorrelation, no heteroskedasticity, and stable model parameters through the CUSUM test. The study concluded that imports of capital machinery and industrial materials from South Africa contributed positively to Nigeria’s manufacturing sector, especially in the short run. It advised that Nigeria ought to maintain a situation of strategic importation of productive machinery and at the same time encourage production of steel locally, exchange rate stability, infrastructural growth and industrial policies that enhance the local manufacturing capability.

Abstract

This study examines the political economy of village fund implementation and its effects on the socioeconomic transformation of communities in South Buton Regency, Southeast Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. Village funds, disbursed under Law No. 6 of 2014 concerning Villages, represent the most significant transfer of fiscal resources to the village level in Indonesian history, yet their transformative impact is mediated by local political economy dynamics that remain poorly understood. Using a qualitative case study approach with in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis, this research investigates how political economy factors, including elite capture, power relations, participatory governance, and inter-governmental coordination, shape the allocation and outcomes of village funds across six sub-districts in South Buton Regency. The findings reveal that village fund outcomes are significantly determined by the political economy of local governance: villages with stronger participatory planning processes, active village representative councils, and transparent financial management achieved substantially better socioeconomic outcomes than those where village funds were captured by local elites or dominated by the village head with limited accountability. Despite these political economy constraints, the data show measurable improvements in poverty reduction, infrastructure development, and small business growth across the regency between 2015 and 2023. The study contributes to the political economy of decentralization literature and offers practical recommendations for strengthening participatory governance mechanisms to maximize the socioeconomic transformation potential of village funds in island and coastal communities such as those in South Buton

Abstract

This research, which is significant, examines the relationship between development and economic allocation within farming families in Indonesia. The study focuses on the impact of development on the socio-economic dynamics of farming families. Development is characterized by agricultural mechanization, expanded employment opportunities, and advanced education, which stimulate the lifestyles of farming families. However, these changes still leave a number of problems within farming families, including economic inequality. This research uses a literature review method, drawing on a number of sources (books, articles, freelance writing, and research results) related to the research objectives. The results of the study indicate that development has dynamized changes in the rural economy, particularly the participation of women in both agricultural and non-agricultural sectors. Development has had a real impact through the role of farmers (including women) in improving and strengthening the family economy. However, the economic allocation of farming families in Indonesia is still linked to patriarchal traditions that construct men as having the maximum allocation of power within the family. This is a real problem and represents an inequality in the development of farming family communities in Indonesia. However, development has shown an increase in farmers' welfare in several areas of life.
Street-Level Policy Entrepreneurs: Activating Policy Capacity in Local Food Security Implementation Faisal Ardiansyah

Abstract

This article examines how street-level actors activate policy capacity during the local implementation of Indonesia's food security policy. Existing studies usually explain weak implementation through institutional fragmentation, cross-sector coordination problems, and top-down program design. However, they say less about the micro-practices through which frontline actors keep policy working amid fragmentation. The study adopts a qualitative, embedded, multiple-case design across three districts of South Sulawesi and draws on 50 semi-structured interviews, policy and implementation documents, and limited field observations. The analysis employed theory-driven thematic analysis, combining deductive coding from the policy capacity and street-level policy entrepreneurship literatures with inductive refinement during within-case and cross-case comparisons. The findings show that implementation depends not only on formally available organizational capacity, but also on capacity activated from below by extension workers, village governments, and farmer-group facilitators. These actors re-verified beneficiary lists, reinterpreted targets, aligned village resources with district programs, and built informal coordination across agencies and communities. Under favorable local conditions, such practices moved beyond routine discretion and became street-level policy entrepreneurship. The article contributes to policy implementation studies by showing that analytical, operational, and political capacities are enacted in practice rather than merely stored in formal institutions.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the development of research on digital ethics among vocational high school students through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) based on bibliometric analysis. The study focused on identifying publication trends and bibliometric characteristics, examining major contributors and geographical distributions, and exploring the main themes, emerging issues, and educational practices within the field. Data were collected from the Scopus database using predefined keywords related to digital ethics, digital citizenship, digital literacy, and vocational education, resulting in 37 articles published between 2019 and 2025. Data analysis employed the Analyze Search Results feature in Scopus and VOSviewer software through co-occurrence, overlay, and density visualizations. The findings revealed a growing trend in publications, with Indonesia emerging as the most productive contributor. Furthermore, the intellectual structure of the field has evolved from traditional themes centered on digital literacy and vocational education toward broader issues involving digital citizenship, digital transformation, responsible technology use, and emerging educational practices. These findings indicate that digital ethics has become an essential component of twenty-first-century competencies and technology-supported learning environments in vocational education.
