Abstract

This study investigates the impact of digital media on the cultural communication and artistic expression of the Mambilla people of Taraba State in the digital era, focusing on how digital technologies have transformed traditional practices and communication methods. Guided by Cultural Studies Theory and Digital Cultural Studies Theory, the research explores the influence of digital media on Mambilla cultural communication, the transformation of artistic expressions, and the tension between cultural preservation and authenticity loss. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining qualitative in-depth interviews with quantitative surveys to gather insights from the Mambilla community. Findings reveal that digital media, particularly social media platforms, have expanded the global reach of Mambilla cultural practices while simultaneously raising concerns over the distortion of traditional art forms and erosion of authenticity. The study concludes that digital technologies present both opportunities and risks: they enable preservation and wider dissemination of culture, yet challenge the maintenance of cultural integrity. Recommendations include implementing digital literacy programmes for older generations, establishing a digital cultural archive for Mambilla heritage, and formulating cultural guidelines for content creators to safeguard authenticity in the digital space.

Abstract

Police bribery remains a pervasive issue in Nigeria, significantly undermining public trust in law enforcement, particularly in semi-urban areas such as Wukari Local Government Area of Taraba State. Many citizens perceive that police officers routinely demand bribes before acting on crime reports and that justice is more readily available to individuals with financial means. These perceptions contribute to widespread reluctance to report crimes, especially among the poor and marginalized, leading to a deterioration of police-community relations. This study investigates the extent to which police bribery influences crime reporting behavior in Wukari. A descriptive, cross-sectional survey design was adopted, with a sample size of 400 respondents selected from a population of 374,800 using the Taro Yamane formula. Data were collected via questionnaires distributed through random sampling, yielding 350 valid responses. Descriptive statistics, including frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations, were used for analysis. The findings indicate that crime reporting is generally low, with police bribery identified as a significant deterrent. Respondents frequently cited fear of being asked for bribes or being ignored due to inability to pay as reasons for non-engagement with law enforcement. The study concludes that police bribery not only discourages crime reporting but also erodes the legitimacy and credibility of the Nigeria Police Force. It recommends the strict enforcement of anti-corruption policies, the promotion of community-oriented policing strategies, and the establishment of independent and anonymous crime reporting mechanisms to restore public confidence in law enforcement institutions.

Abstract

Solitary language, defined as the verbal expression of a person in the absence of a direct interlocutor, is observed very frequently in children with trisomy 21, although it is not considered a pathological manifestation. This study aims to explore the role or functions of this verbal behavior. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with their parents. The results show that speaking alone fulfills several functions: cognitive, emotional, and social. Information collected from parents suggests that solitary language is an adaptive strategy contributing to the emotional regulation of children with trisomy 21.

Abstract

This study addresses the limited scholarly attention to bilateral military exercises as instruments of defense diplomacy, despite their growing significance for regional security in Southeast Asia. Specifically, it analyzes the role of the AUSINDO EAGLE joint exercises in advancing Indonesia–Australia defense cooperation and in mainstreaming non-traditional security agendas within bilateral defense diplomacy. Adopting a qualitative research design, the study employed purposive sampling of two key historical cases—the inaugural AUSINDO EAGLE exercise in 1993 and the most recent in 2023. Data were collected through document analysis of official military reports, policy statements, and secondary literature, and analyzed using thematic content analysis. The findings demonstrate that AUSINDO EAGLE has progressed from a conventional interoperability-focused joint air exercise into a comprehensive defense engagement encompassing humanitarian assistance and disaster relief. This transformation underscores defense diplomacy’s dual function as both a confidence-building mechanism and an adaptive strategy to address non-traditional security challenges. The study concludes that AUSINDO EAGLE not only consolidates bilateral defense cooperation but also enhances regional stability by broadening the scope of security collaboration. The implications include theoretical contributions to defense diplomacy literature and practical recommendations for policymakers to strengthen joint training programs, expand multilateral participation, and institutionalize HADR frameworks. The study also highlights avenues for future research, particularly comparative analyses with ASEAN-led exercises and empirical fieldwork involving military practitioners.

Abstract

This study examines the expanding role of women in peacekeeping operations within the ASEAN region and their contributions to defense diplomacy and confidence-building measures (CBMs). Situated within the global Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda, the integration of gender perspectives in peacekeeping enhances the legitimacy, effectiveness, and sustainability of missions. Anchored in feminist security theory and the defense diplomacy framework, the research analyzes empirical evidence from Indonesia, the Philippines, and Cambodia—three ASEAN member states that have increased female deployment in UN and regional peacekeeping initiatives. Employing qualitative case studies and policy document analysis, the findings demonstrate that female peacekeepers strengthen defense diplomacy by fostering interpersonal engagement, cross-cultural communication, and community-level trust-building. They positively influence local perceptions of security forces, improve access to vulnerable populations, and support post-conflict reconstruction and reconciliation processes. Nevertheless, persistent institutional and cultural barriers, including tokenism, limited leadership opportunities, and inadequate gender-sensitive training, constrain the full potential of women’s participation. The study concludes that mainstreaming gender perspectives in defense institutions, expanding capacity-building initiatives, and promoting regionally coherent ASEAN policies for inclusive peacekeeping are essential steps forward. The findings affirm that meaningful participation of women in peacekeeping is both a moral imperative and a strategic necessity for advancing regional peace, stability, and cooperation.

Abstract

This study assesses the effectiveness of select PRTVC radio jingles in promoting peaceful co-existence among residents of Plateau State, Nigeria. Guided by Social Judgement Theory, the research sought to (1) determine the role of radio jingles in fostering peace and (2) identify the content elements considered relevant by residents in encouraging peaceful co-existence. Employing a survey design, data were collected from 400 randomly selected respondents in Jos metropolis, with the sample size determined using the Taro Yamane technique. The reliability of the instruments was tested using Cronbach’s Alpha, while Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and descriptive statistics were applied in the analysis. The findings indicate that while PRTVC radio jingles play a role in promoting peaceful co-existence, their effectiveness is limited by several challenges. The study concludes that for jingles to serve as impactful tools of peacebuilding, they must incorporate thematic, participatory, and unbiased content. It recommends stronger collaboration between PRTVC, the Plateau State Government, and other stakeholders to enhance peacebuilding initiatives, alongside improved content design for radio jingles to maximize audience engagement and effectiveness.

Abstract

Health communication research in Nigeria has largely prioritized communicable diseases such as cholera, polio, Lassa fever, and COVID-19, while non-communicable diseases (NCDs), particularly cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), receive comparatively limited scholarly and media attention. This conceptual paper interrogates the imbalance in media coverage between communicable and non-communicable diseases, drawing on agenda-setting theory to explain how the prioritization of outbreak-driven illnesses shapes public awareness, policy discourse, and resource allocation. While acknowledging the urgency of communicable diseases due to their epidemic potential, the paper argues that the neglect of CVDs in media narratives undermines long-term public health education, preventive measures, and sustained investment in NCD management. By synthesizing insights from global and Nigerian scholarship, the analysis demonstrates how crisis-oriented framing perpetuates a reactive rather than preventive health culture. Conceptually comparing communicable diseases and CVDs, the paper advances a framework for balanced health reportage that integrates outbreak response with consistent attention to lifestyle-related risks. It concludes by recommending that Nigerian media, scholars, and policymakers recalibrate health communication strategies to ensure proportional visibility for CVDs and other NCDs alongside infectious diseases.

Abstract

This study examines how newspapers shape public attention to human rights issues in Northeast Nigeria through their agenda-setting function. The research objective is to assess the capacity of newspapers to foreground human rights concerns and the factors that constrain this role. Anchored in agenda-setting theory, the study employs a review of extant literature. Key findings indicate that newspapers can amplify marginalized voices by consistently highlighting their struggles and, through advocacy and investigative reporting, raise awareness and stimulate public discussion of critical human rights issues. However, effectiveness is limited by political bias that fosters selective reporting, commercial pressures that privilege profit over social responsibility, and media ownership influences that skew the framing of human rights stories, jointly impeding objective and comprehensive coverage. The study concludes that, despite these constraints, newspapers remain crucial in the digital media era for promoting accountability, transparency, and social justice. The contribution and implication are that strengthening editorial independence and ethical standards within newspaper organizations can enhance agenda-setting on human rights and sustain their role in holding power to account.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of digital political communication in enhancing the political participation of Generation Z in Indonesia. The research is grounded in the context of a digitally native generation that relies heavily on social media platforms, such as Instagram, TikTok, X/Twitter, and YouTube for accessing information, shaping opinions, and engaging with political discourse. Given Generation Z’s growing electoral significance, understanding the strategic role of digital communication in fostering their political engagement is increasingly critical. Employing a quantitative approach, data were collected through an online questionnaire distributed to 380 respondents aged 17–27 years, selected via purposive sampling. Criteria included active use of social media for political information and recent interaction with digital political content within the past six months. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression to assess the relationship between the effectiveness of digital political communication and levels of political participation. Findings reveal a significant positive impact, particularly in raising political awareness, stimulating online political discussions, and increasing intentions to vote. Key drivers of engagement include source credibility, message clarity, and the appeal of visual-based media. However, the study also identifies challenges such as misinformation, content fatigue, and limited digital literacy. The study concludes that digital political communication can effectively increase political participation among Generation Z when implemented through creative, transparent, and educational strategies. These insights offer practical implications for political actors, election bodies, and civil society organizations aiming to design inclusive and sustainable digital engagement campaigns.

Abstract

This study addresses a notable gap in the literature concerning the intersection of defense diplomacy and post-colonial border governance, with a specific focus on Indonesia and Timor-Leste’s Oecusse enclave. Despite the region’s strategic relevance and humanitarian sensitivities, limited scholarly attention has been given to the soft power dimensions of military engagement in this context. The research aims to analyze how Indonesia’s Border Protection Task Force (Satgas Pamtas) operationalizes soft power-driven defense diplomacy to manage low-intensity border frictions and sustain stability in Oecusse. Utilizing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through document analysis, policy reports, and expert interviews with thirty purposively selected respondents. Thematic and pattern-matching analysis was applied to identify recurring mechanisms of cooperation and confidence-building. Findings indicate that Indonesia’s defense diplomacy manifested through joint patrols, humanitarian outreach, and cross-border community engagement serves as a non-coercive strategy for conflict prevention and mutual trust enhancement. These practices underscore the evolving role of military institutions as diplomatic actors in regional security governance. The study affirms the theoretical link between soft power and border management, illustrating how defense initiatives can contribute to peacebuilding without escalating tensions. It concludes that institutionalizing localized confidence-building measures, promoting civilian involvement, and integrating traditional adat structures into formal bilateral mechanisms are crucial for achieving sustainable peace. The study further recommends future comparative research on border diplomacy across Southeast Asia to refine the hybrid defense diplomacy model presented.
