Abstract

The implementation of the BerAKHLAK civil service core values at Sorong City Government takes place within a plurality of competing institutional logics. Empirical indicators a 2023 Integrity Assessment Survey (SPI) of 58.20 (“vulnerable”), a cross-OPD synergy index of 57/100, digital system adoption below 50%, and 38% of civil servants not understanding BerAKHLAK signal that the internalisation problem is structural and rooted in a complex institutional-logics configuration. This study analyses the institutional value structure underlying BerAKHLAK implementation through the institutional logics framework , covering four dimensions: logic dominance, compatibility with BerAKHLAK values, inter-logic conflict, and balance strategies. A qualitative single-case study approach was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 34 purposively-selected informants, participant observation across seven OPDs over 48 days, and analysis of 23 official documents. Data were analysed interactively through condensation, display, and conclusion drawing, with source, method, and member-check triangulation. Bureaucratic-hierarchical and relational logics dominate practice, while BerAKHLAK logic remains subordinate and situationally active (only 8–10% in internal decisions vs 30% in externally-monitored situations). Compatibility is low-to-partial, particularly for Accountable, Competent, Adaptive, and Collaborative. Inter-logic conflict is intense (68% of implementing staff experience >3 conflicts/week) with passive resolution patterns (69% silent compromise or passive conformity). Adaptation strategies are dominated by decoupling (71% of OPDs). The dramatic 2025 surge of the Public Service Index to the Highest Green Zone (90.2) without corresponding internal improvement confirms symbolic isomorphic response over substantive value internalisation. Weak BerAKHLAK internalisation in Sorong City results from unmanaged institutional-logics configuration, where interventions stop at the symbolic level without restructuring the logic architecture that shapes bureaucratic practice. Transformation requires a paradigm shift from value socialisation to active institutional-logics management reconfiguring incentive structures, building legitimate conflict-resolution arenas, and developing systemic leadership capacity as skilled logic mediators.

Abstract

The social-ecological systems (SES) framework treats boundary clarity, formal rules, monitoring, sanctions, and institutional capacity as interdependent attributes of durable commons governance and generally assumes that informal institutions complement or nest within formal ones. This article examines a case in which informal institutions instead substitute for formal provision across all five attributes at once. Seaweed cultivation in Nunukan Regency, on Indonesia’s maritime border with Malaysia, expanded from 2,652 to 13,050 ha between 2018 and 2023. Drawing on 71 semi-structured interviews with 62 informants across three coastal sub-districts and four administrative tiers, together with document review, we find every formal attribute weak: no legally enacted zoning, seven of nine regulatory domains without specific rules, no licence held by any of nineteen cultivators interviewed, none of eight water-quality parameters monitored on a schedule, and no formal sanction ever imposed for zoning breach. Informal institutions fill each gap, but unevenly. Substitution is dense in one sub-district, concentrated in a single village in a second, and has collapsed in a third. Two conceptual contributions follow. First, substitution is not a stable equilibrium: it depends on individual leadership and enforceable social sanction, and where either is absent no governance operates at all. Second, we identify retrospective regularization boundaries in practice follow where cultivators place their frames, and the state subsequently ratifies the result which converts spatial planning from a preventive instrument into a legitimating one. Aggregate claims that informal institutions compensate for weak states therefore obscure sharply divergent local outcomes.

Abstract

Coastal blue-economy governance in Southwest Papua Province involves diverse actors and resources, yet a tight paradox persists between actor plurality and the weakness of equitable and productive relations. Networks have formed empirically through inter-governmental cooperation, conservation funding, and customary practices, but the quality of these relations remains uneven. This study analyses network governance in coastal blue-economy development through Klijn and Koppenjan’s (2000) four-dimensional framework: actors and relations, resources, rules, and perceptions. A qualitative embedded single-case study was conducted in Raja Ampat Regency, Sorong Regency, Tambrauw Regency, and Sorong City. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 22 purposively-selected informants, participant observation, and document analysis, analysed thematically through open coding, axial coding, actor network mapping, and cross-category synthesis. The policy network has formed but operates with structural asymmetries. Formal bureaucratic actors occupy central positions (94% forum access; 87% agenda influence) while fisher cooperatives remain peripheral (29% and 12%). Resources are concentrated: planners and technical agencies control 87–94% of administrative and informational resources, while customary institutions control 88% of social-normative legitimacy with limited material access. Six regulatory regimes operate in parallel without synchronisation; perceptions diverge sharply between bureaucratic (policy coherence), indigenous (justice), fisher (livelihood), and business (market certainty) frames. The principal challenge is not the absence of actors, forums, or rules, but the architecture of an asymmetric, fragmented network unable to consolidate collective understanding. Strengthening coastal economies through the blue economy requires restructuring relations, redistributing strategic resources, harmonising plural rules, and transforming divergent perceptions into shared understanding.

Abstract

Mixed marriages between Indonesian citizens and foreign nationals create complex legal consequences concerning citizenship, family status, inheritance rights, and ownership of property. This study aims to analyze the legal position of children born from mixed marriages and examine their inheritance rights under the Indonesian Civil Code when they possess or later choose foreign nationality. The research employed a normative juridical method using statute and conceptual approaches. Legal materials consisted of primary legal sources, including the Indonesian Civil Code, Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage, Law No. 12 of 2006 on Citizenship, Law No. 23 of 2002 on Child Protection, and Law No. 5 of 1960 on Basic Agrarian Principles, as well as secondary legal materials derived from doctrinal writings and scholarly literature. The findings demonstrate that Law No. 12 of 2006 provides limited dual citizenship protection for children born from mixed marriages until the age of eighteen years or marriage, followed by an obligation to choose one citizenship. Under the Indonesian Civil Code, a child born from a valid mixed marriage remains a lawful heir because inheritance rights are determined by a lawful civil relationship with the deceased parent rather than nationality alone. However, Indonesian agrarian law restricts foreign nationals from permanently holding ownership-title land. As a result, foreign-national heirs may inherit property rights but must transfer, release, or convert ownership-title land within the legally prescribed period. The study highlights the distinction between the right to inherit and the legal capacity to retain certain inherited assets while identifying continuing procedural and administrative challenges in cross-border inheritance disputes.

Abstract

Forest destruction remains a critical legal and environmental challenge in Indonesia, particularly where illegal logging, forest burning, unauthorized mining, and unlawful plantation activities threaten sustainable forest governance. This study examines the authority of Forest Police in enforcing criminal law against forest destruction in North Minahasa, North Sulawesi. The research applies a normative legal method supported by limited empirical information from relevant forestry institutions. Legal materials were examined through statutory, conceptual, and qualitative juridical analysis, focusing on forestry legislation, environmental law, criminal procedure, and regulations concerning Forest Police and Civil Servant Investigators. The findings show that Indonesian forestry law categorizes forest destruction into multiple criminal offences, including damaging forest-protection facilities, illegal timber harvesting, transporting forest products without valid documents, unlawful mining, forest burning, document falsification, corporate timber laundering, obstruction of enforcement, and abuse of authority by officials. Law No. 18 of 2013 substantially expands criminal liability by addressing organized forest crime, corporate involvement, illicit financing, and misuse of forest permits. Forest Police hold pre-emptive, preventive, and repressive authority, including patrol, document inspection, evidence collection, arrest in flagrante delicto, and investigation when appointed as Civil Servant Investigators. Effective enforcement depends on coordinated investigation with the National Police, procedural compliance, and strengthened institutional capacity.

Abstract

Fatal traffic accidents caused by negligent driving remain a significant legal and social problem in Indonesia, particularly in cases involving intoxication and driver fatigue. This study aims to analyze the application of Indonesian positive law to fatal traffic negligence and evaluate the judicial reasoning in Decision No. 75/Pid.Sus/2023/PN Mnd of the Manado District Court. The research employed a normative juridical method using statute and case approaches. Primary legal materials consisted of the Indonesian Criminal Code, Law No. 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation, and the relevant court decision, while secondary materials included legal doctrines, scholarly books, and journal articles related to criminal liability, negligence, and punishment. The findings show that Article 310 paragraph (4) of Law No. 22 of 2009 functions as lex specialis in relation to Article 359 of the Criminal Code because it specifically regulates negligent driving resulting in death within the context of road transportation. The court correctly established the legal elements of negligent driving causing death through evidence demonstrating that the defendant drove a motorcycle while intoxicated and severely fatigued, resulting in a fatal collision. However, the study also finds that the two-year imprisonment imposed by the court raises concerns regarding proportionality and victim-oriented justice because the punishment may not adequately reflect the seriousness of the defendant’s preventable risk-taking conduct and the irreversible loss suffered by the victim’s family. The study concludes that stronger sentencing consistency, clearer judicial reasoning, and broader integration between criminal sanctions and road-safety policies are necessary to improve traffic-law enforcement in Indonesia.

Abstract

Nunukan Regency, located on the Indonesia–Malaysia border, is a strategic transit area for Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) but is highly vulnerable to undocumented migration, human trafficking, people smuggling, and violations of migrant workers’ rights. This study examines the diplomatic role of the Nunukan Resort Police (Polres Nunukan) in handling migrant workers and identifies the challenges encountered in border governance. The research employs an empirical legal approach using statutory and sociological methods. Primary data were collected through interviews with officers from Polres Nunukan and the Center for the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers (BP3MI), while secondary data were obtained from legislation, books, scientific journals, and relevant documents. The findings reveal that Polres Nunukan adopts a collaborative diplomatic approach by strengthening coordination and communication with BP3MI, the Immigration Office, the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI), local government, and other stakeholders to enhance prevention, supervision, law enforcement, and legal protection for migrant workers. Major challenges include extensive border areas, numerous unofficial crossing routes, limited personnel and infrastructure, high migrant mobility, and inadequate public awareness of legal migration procedures. To address these issues, Polres Nunukan intensifies inter-agency cooperation, strengthens border patrols and surveillance, expands public education on safe migration, and takes firm legal action against human trafficking and illegal recruitment networks. The study concludes that effective protection of Indonesian migrant workers in border regions requires not only strong law enforcement but also sustained institutional collaboration to ensure comprehensive legal protection and improve border governance.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the convergence of television broadcasting and social media and to reconstruct the mass communication model in Indonesia's digital platform era. The rapid development of digital technology has transformed the broadcasting system, particularly in terms of content distribution, production processes, gatekeeping mechanisms, and the role of audiences in mass communication. This study employs a qualitative approach using a multiple case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, non-participant observation, and document analysis. Informants were selected using purposive sampling and included media executives, journalists, social media managers, communication scholars, regulators, and digital media practitioners. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis through the stages of data reduction, coding, theme development, interpretation, and conclusion drawing. The trustworthiness of the findings was ensured through source triangulation and methodological triangulation. The findings reveal four major themes. First, broadcasting institutions have adopted multiplatform strategies by utilizing various social media platforms to expand information distribution. Second, news production has evolved toward integrated newsroom systems designed to meet the demands of digital audiences. Third, the gatekeeping process has shifted from being primarily editorial-driven to a hybrid model combining editorial judgment with digital platform algorithms. Fourth, audiences have transformed from passive recipients of information into prosumers who actively produce, share, and interpret media content. The study concludes that the convergence of television broadcasting and social media has reconstructed the mass communication model into one that is more integrated, interactive, participatory, and audience-centered within Indonesia's digital media ecosystem.

Abstract

This article examines the normative paradox between environmental protection and the 0% coal royalty policy in Indonesia’s coal downstreaming framework. Coal is a non-renewable natural resource controlled by the State and must be used for the greatest prosperity of the people. However, coal mining creates serious environmental risks, including land degradation, water pollution, mine voids, biodiversity loss, and long-term post-mining restoration burdens. Using normative juridical research, this article analyzes statutory regulations, legal principles, and doctrinal concepts related to state control over natural resources, non-tax state revenue, coal royalties, and environmental responsibility. The findings show that coal royalty has a dual function. It serves as a source of non-tax state revenue and as a regulatory instrument that connects coal extraction with public welfare and ecological accountability. The 0% royalty policy may encourage downstreaming and domestic added value, but it does not remove the environmental impacts of coal extraction. This policy may weaken state revenue, reduce fiscal capacity for environmental restoration, and create unequal distribution of benefits and burdens between mining companies, affected communities, and future generations. The article argues that Indonesia should avoid broad royalty exemptions and adopt a more proportionate model. The ideal legal construction should maintain a minimum royalty, apply conditional and performance-based incentives, require environmental restoration contributions, strengthen data transparency, and improve revenue allocation for mining regions. Such a model would better align coal downstreaming with constitutional mandates, sustainable development, environmental protection, and social justice.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the political communication strategy employed by Sitti Sutinah Suhardi in defeating the incumbent candidate in the 2020 Regional Head Election (Pilkada) of Mamuju Regency, Indonesia. The study is motivated by the phenomenon in which a challenger candidate with relatively lower initial popularity and electability was able to overcome the structural advantages typically possessed by an incumbent. This condition indicates that political communication strategies play a crucial role in shaping public political preferences in local electoral contests. This research adopts a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with key informants involved in the campaign process, observations, and documentation related to political communication activities during the campaign period. The theoretical framework applied in this study includes Aristotle’s rhetorical theory ethos, pathos, and logos as well as Nimmo’s political communication model that emphasizes the interaction between political actors, political media, and political publics. The findings reveal that Sitti Sutinah Suhardi’s political communication strategy was implemented through three main stages: planning, implementation, and evaluation. This study concludes that the success of a challenger candidate in defeating an incumbent is not solely determined by political resources or structural advantages, but also by the ability to design and implement effective, adaptive, and context-sensitive political communication strategies.
