Abstract

Stunting cannot be addressed solely through technical approaches, but requires structured and socially-based cross-sectoral collaboration. This study aims to analyze the forms of institutional collaboration and the role of social capital in supporting the effectiveness of Rumah Pelita in Semarang City, an intersectoral daycare service that focuses on restoring the nutrition and development of stunted children. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. The results show that Rumah Pelita's success in reducing the prevalence of stunting by 50-60% is influenced by the strength of social networks between agencies, parents' trust in caregivers, and collective work norms. The program integrates nutritional interventions, child development stimulation, parenting classes, and intensive monitoring. These findings reinforce the relevance of Putnam's social capital theory in explaining how networks, trust and social norms can strengthen cross-sectoral cooperation. In conclusion, Rumah Pelita can be used as a replication model for collaboration-based stunting interventions in other urban areas, as well as making a theoretical contribution to strengthening the concept of social capital in public health policy.

Abstract

The study examines Integrated Electoral Cartelization as a new model of political cartelization in Indonesia through intervention conducted by the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (Koalisi Indonesia Maju) during the 2 24 regional head elections across five strategic provinces: Jakarta, Banten, West Java, Central Java, and East Java. The research aims to explain institutional patterns of cartel coordination shaping candidate nomination processes prior to electoral competition. A qualitative case study approach was applied through a systematic review of peer-reviewed journal publications and verified online media documentation addressing coalition coordination during the 2 24 regional head elections. Data analysis followed the interactive analytical framework developed by Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña through sequential procedures consisting of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. Findings identify three institutional coordination patterns: centralized candidate nomination determined by national political elites within coalition command structures; co-optation of former opposition parties to strengthen electoral alignment and cartel consolidation; and exclusion of political parties outside cartel arrangements from meaningful participation in candidate nomination processes and competitive electoral arenas. The Integrated Electoral Cartelization framework demonstrates transformation of cartel politics toward centralized oligarchic coordination structures regulating candidate selection and coalition alignment prior to electoral competition, contributing conceptual advancement to cartel party theory and providing analytical insight into coalition governance dynamics within subnational democratic institutions in Indonesia.

Abstract

Inclusive elections represent a fundamental principle of democratic governance by ensuring equal political rights for all citizens, including persons with disabilities. However, disability political participation remains constrained by institutional, social, and accessibility barriers, while the role of disability organizations in facilitating electoral inclusion has received limited scholarly attention. This study aims to analyze the political participation of Perkumpulan Sehati as a disability organization in supporting inclusive elections in Sukoharjo Regency during the 2024 General Election. A qualitative case study approach was employed using in-depth interviews, observations, documentation, and triangulation techniques to explore organizational participation and structural challenges. The findings indicate that Perkumpulan Sehati contributed to electoral mobilization, community-based political education, and institutional collaboration with election management bodies, thereby strengthening democratic inclusion for persons with disabilities. Nevertheless, political participation continues to be influenced by limited political education, inadequate polling station accessibility, insufficient family support, social stigma, and low institutional trust. This study contributes to the literature by emphasizing the mediating role of disability organizations as civil society actors in transforming formal political rights into substantive democratic participation. The findings also suggest that collaborative governance involving election organizers, local governments, and disability organizations should be institutionalized to strengthen inclusive electoral governance in Indonesia.

Abstract

A country's foreign policy can be based on its strategic culture, and the US is no different with its Indo-Pacific Strategy 2022. The US strategic culture includes American exceptionalism and moral crusade, technology and firepower-intensive warfare, and free security combined with projection of power. The author intends to bring a novelty by analyzing the strategic culture in the Indo-Pacific Strategy 2022. Furthermore, the study uses a constructivist approach to emphasize the role of identity, values, and norms in shaping the US Indo-Pacific Strategy. This study finds that the U.S. and China share similar strategic cultures but use different narratives to win their rivalry, with U.S. strategic culture mostly staying consistent while evolving across administrations, and being shaped by American values in law supremacy and order, human rights and equality, liberalism, and American exceptionalism. The findings of this research contribute to the development of American studies by demonstrating that U.S. foreign policy has consistently served as a space where American values and culture are represented, distributed to other countries, and influence the formation of future American cultural expressions, revealing the US’ interpretation of the Indo-Pacific in pursuit of its national interests.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of digital technology has transformed political communication, civic engagement, and value formation among young people, creating new challenges for maintaining the relevance of Pancasila in Indonesia’s democratic life. This study aims to examine the relevance of Pancasila amid shifting political orientations among Indonesian youth in the digital age and to explore its role as a normative framework for digital citizenship. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach through a systematic literature review, the study synthesizes findings from contemporary scholarly publications on digital politics, youth political participation, civic education, and political identity. The analysis reveals that digital media simultaneously expands opportunities for political participation while intensifying political polarization, misinformation, identity politics, and ideological fragmentation that may weaken the internalization of Pancasila values. The study further demonstrates that Pancasila remains a relevant civic ideology capable of fostering democratic ethics, social cohesion, and responsible political participation when integrated into digital literacy and civic education initiatives. The novelty of this study lies in positioning Pancasila not only as a constitutional ideology but also as an ethical framework for strengthening digital citizenship among Indonesian youth. These findings provide strategic insights for policymakers, educators, and civil society organizations in promoting democratic resilience and national identity within an increasingly digital political environment.

Abstract

The 2024 Presidential Election in Indonesia revealed increasingly dynamic electoral competition shaped by interactions between national political narratives and local political contexts. In Jepara Regency, Prabowo–Gibran won the presidential election despite Gerindra not being the dominant legislative party and despite the strong electoral presence of PPP and PDI-P, creating a political anomaly that challenges conventional assumptions about party strength and presidential voting behavior. Previous studies have focused on candidate branding, digital campaigns, coalition politics, and organizational communication but have not explained electoral variation within the same party organization across different local contexts. This study analyzes Gerindra’s adaptive electoral strategy across three sub-districts with contrasting electoral outcomes in Jepara Regency. Using a qualitative comparative approach based on interviews, documentation, triangulation, and SWOT analysis, the study finds that campaign effectiveness depended on contextual adaptation integrating organizational mobilization, psychological framing, sociological networks, coalition cooperation, and local political communication. The findings contribute to the concept of adaptive electoral strategy by explaining how political organizations adjust campaign resources and communication to heterogeneous local political environments.

Abstract

The high incidence of electoral violations during Indonesia’s 2019 General Election and the 2024 Regional Head Elections has raised significant concerns for the Central Java Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) in strengthening preventive electoral oversight. This study aims to analyze the strategies employed by the agency to prevent electoral violations during Indonesia’s 2024 Regional Elections using G. R. Terry’s strategic management theory as the analytical framework. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews and document analysis. The findings indicate that the agency implemented four major preventive strategies: strengthening political education and public outreach, promoting participatory electoral supervision, enhancing coordination with relevant stakeholders, and leveraging information technology to improve monitoring effectiveness. Nevertheless, these strategies encountered several challenges, including limited political literacy, inadequate human resources, low public reporting awareness, and budget constraints. The study concludes that these preventive strategies have strengthened electoral governance and contributed to mitigating potential electoral violations, although greater institutional support and innovation in participatory supervision remain essential for improving electoral integrity in future regional elections.
