Abstract

This study examines Deliar Noer’s perspective on the practice of identity politics employed by Islamic political parties in Indonesia, particularly in relation to its implications for Muslim political unity, electoral strategy, and the substantive orientation of Islamic politics. The issue is important because identity politics has often been used as a political instrument to mobilize support, strengthen group solidarity, and construct electoral legitimacy. However, in practice, such politics may also produce social fragmentation, narrow political orientation, and symbolic contestation that does not necessarily contribute to solving public problems. Using a qualitative descriptive-analytical method, this study relies primarily on Deliar Noer’s relevant works and is supported by secondary literature concerning Islamic politics, political parties, and identity-based political mobilization in Indonesia. The findings show that Deliar Noer tends to view identity politics as a political tendency that brings more negative consequences than positive contributions. According to this perspective, identity politics may weaken the unity of the Muslim community, shift attention away from substantive public policy issues, and prioritize symbolic religious claims over programmatic political agendas. Nevertheless, Deliar Noer does not reject Islamic politics itself. Instead, he offers constructive evaluations by emphasizing reformist commitment, ukhuwah Islamiyah, cooperation among Muslim groups, the strengthening of Islamic education and economy, and the recognition of politics as a legitimate and strategic means of struggle. Therefore, Islamic political movements should ideally move beyond narrow identity-based mobilization and develop inclusive, solution-oriented, and programmatic agendas that advance justice, social welfare, and the broader public good

Abstract

This study examines the impact of digital inequality on the right to higher education in Kenya and Indonesia through a comparative political economy perspective. Digital transformation has expanded opportunities for learning, but it has also exposed unequal access to technology, internet connectivity, digital devices, and digital literacy among students and institutions. Using a qualitative comparative approach, this study relies on secondary data, policy documents, institutional reports, and relevant academic literature to analyze how structural disparities shape access to digital higher education in both countries. The findings show that Indonesia has made broader progress in expanding digital infrastructure and online learning systems, yet it continues to face significant regional gaps, particularly between urban and remote areas. Kenya, by contrast, demonstrates stronger digital innovation and a dynamic technology ecosystem, but affordability, unstable connectivity, and uneven institutional capacity remain major barriers. In both contexts, digital inequality is not merely a technical problem, but a structural issue shaped by socioeconomic status, geography, market access, and policy implementation. These inequalities limit the realization of the right to higher education and risk reproducing existing social exclusion. The novelty of this study lies in integrating rights-based analysis with political economy to compare digital inequality across two Global South contexts. The study recommends stronger regulation, affordable connectivity, inclusive digital infrastructure, and equity-oriented higher education policies.

Abstract

South Korea’s fertility decline has become a demographic and policy challenge because it is closely connected to population aging, labour shortages, welfare sustainability, gender inequality, and weakening confidence among young adults in forming families. Using a qualitative descriptive method based solely on secondary data, this study analyzes academic literature, government policy documents, demographic statistics, OECD reports, Statistics Korea publications, and studies on family policy, childcare, housing, employment, and work–family balance. The findings show that South Korea’s low fertility rate is shaped by structural factors, including employment insecurity, unaffordable housing, high education costs, long working hours, unequal care responsibilities, and career penalties for women after childbirth. Government responses, including financial incentives, childcare subsidies, parental leave, housing support, and work–family balance policies, demonstrate increasing policy adaptability but remain limited in their long-term effectiveness. Financial support may reduce immediate household burdens, yet it cannot sufficiently transform the deeper institutional and cultural conditions that discourage marriage and childbearing. From a human development perspective, effective fertility policy must expand people’s freedom to form families under secure, equal, and supportive conditions. The study concludes that South Korea’s demographic recovery requires integrated structural reform that strengthens gender equality, accessible childcare, affordable housing, employment security, reproductive autonomy, and a family-supportive welfare system.
Analysis of Ireland’s Economic Policy Response to the 2008 Global Financial Crisis and Its Impact on the National Economy Mufida Fisca Salsabilla; Siti Nur Aisyah; Suci Irianti; Nurzalina Nurzalina

Abstract

This study analyses Ireland’s economic policy response to the 2008 Global Financial Crisis and its impact on the national economy. The crisis revealed deep structural vulnerabilities within Ireland’s pre-crisis growth model, particularly excessive credit expansion, property-market dependence, weak financial regulation, and high banking-sector exposure to real estate. Using a qualitative descriptive-analytical literature review based exclusively on secondary data, this study examines peer-reviewed articles, official policy documents, EU–IMF reports, government publications, and relevant economic datasets. The findings show that Ireland’s initial response focused on banking-sector stabilisation through the blanket bank guarantee, bank recapitalisation, and the establishment of the National Asset Management Agency. These policies prevented immediate financial collapse but transferred substantial private banking risks into public liabilities, contributing to rising sovereign debt and fiscal pressure. Subsequent fiscal consolidation and austerity measures helped restore market credibility and supported Ireland’s return to international financial markets, yet they also generated significant social costs, including pressure on households, public services, employment, and vulnerable groups. The study further finds that Ireland’s recovery was supported by export-led growth, foreign direct investment, institutional reform, and improved financial regulation. However, the recovery remained uneven, as macroeconomic improvement did not fully eliminate social hardship, housing pressures, and structural dependence on external investment. The study concludes that Ireland’s experience offers an important lesson in crisis governance: financial stabilisation must be accompanied by social resilience, institutional accountability, and balanced long-term economic reform.

Abstract

This article examines local government as linkage actors in shaping the domestic sources of foreign policy in the United States. Although foreign policy is formally understood as the constitutional responsibility of the federal government, contemporary global challenges increasingly intersect with local governance responsibilities. Issues such as trade, foreign investment, climate change, migration, public health, infrastructure development, port governance, and transnational cooperation are experienced directly by states, cities, counties, and regional institutions. Using a qualitative descriptive approach based exclusively on secondary data, this study analyzes academic literature, policy documents, government publications, and institutional materials related to paradiplomacy, federalism, city diplomacy, subnational governance, and Foreign Policy Analysis. The findings show that local governments influence foreign policy not by replacing federal diplomatic authority, but by connecting local interests, regional development priorities, and community needs with broader national and international policy agendas. Local governments perform three major roles: institutional intermediaries that translate global issues into domestic policy responses; functional actors that participate in international arenas through economic, environmental, social, and urban networks; and policy mediators that provide implementation capacity, local knowledge, and policy feedback to federal institutions. The article argues that U.S. foreign policy should not be viewed only as a top-down process produced by national elites, but as a multi-level governance process shaped by interaction among federal, state, and local actors.
