Abstract

The millennial generation or the young generation plays a crucial role in building democracy in Indonesia because they have great potential to influence social and political changes in the future. According to a survey conducted by the Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), only 14.6% of young people are interested in the Legislative branch, and only 14.1% of young people aspire to run for regional leadership positions. Some issues faced by the young generation in government include a lack of interest in politics, limited access to political education, and the dominance of political elites in decision-making. As of now, a survey conducted by the Democracy Association has recorded the election of 20 young regional leaders and 17 young deputy regional leaders who are under 34 years old. This means that 13.7% of millennials are in positions of power, presenting both challenges and opportunities for Indonesian democracy. The research methodology employed in this article is a qualitative descriptive approach using literature study techniques, wherein the author collects relevant articles related to the research topic. This study will discuss the opportunities for the young generation to play a role in government and the challenges they face in their involvement, as they are seen as the nation's future successors capable of contributing to the development of the democratic Republic of Indonesia

Abstract

Political thought has a crucial role in determining policies and shaping the ideal social order. In Indonesia, various ideologies are present, including Pancasila as the foundation of the state as well as the concepts of pluralism, nationalism, and democracy. Hamdan Zoelva's thought emphasizes the importance of the constitution as the basic norm of the state of law and the protector of human rights. Hamdan criticized liberalism and capitalism which he considered could erode the values of Pancasila in Indonesia's political and economic system. In his book Constitutional Struggle, he warns that the dominance of capitalism must be controlled according to the principles of Pancasila. This research aims to 1) understand Hamdan Zoelva's political journey, and 2) find out the causes of his political thinking about the constitution. The research data includes primary and secondary sources, processed through interviews and documentation. The validity of the data was checked by examining Hamdan's background, such as his curriculum vitae, education, influence, and political and cultural conditions at the time. The results of the study show that Hamdan Zoelva sees the constitution as the will of the people that must be respected. He emphasized the role of the Constitutional Court (MK) in maintaining the balance of power and protecting human rights. However, Hamdan criticized the amendment to the 2024 Constitutional Court Law which he considered threatening the independence of judges.

Abstract

Education is a fundamental right possessed by every citizen. As a rule-of-law state, Indonesia has established various regulations regarding education to ensure it runs smoothly and inclusively. However, the reality on the ground often contradicts what most people envision today. Many citizens still do not have access to their educational rights, particularly in the case of religious and belief education experienced by students from belief communities in Yogyakarta. LKIS, as one of the NGOs in Yogyakarta, plays a central role in advocating for this issue. This research will further explore a collaborative movement carried out by LKIS, the government, and other community and state institutions. The study employs a qualitative research method with a case study approach. The findings of the research show that, in its struggle, LKIS adopts both top-down and bottom-up approaches, which later form the foundation for cross-sector collaboration. This collaboration marks the beginning of a movement, driven by LKIS and other NGOs, to address and support issues and actions for the belief community.

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 research analyzes the Integrated Electoral Cartelization phenomenon as a new model of political cartelization in Indonesia, where the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (Koalisi Indonesia Maju/KIM) intervened in the 2024 regional elections in six strategic provinces (Jakarta, Banten, West Java, East Java, Central Java, and Banten). This research used a case study qualitative approach based on literature review from journals and online media reports. The analysis method used the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana technique, namely condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that political cartel intervention in the realm of regional head elections uses three patterns. First, the appointment of candidates by national elites. Second, the co-optation of former opposition parties. Third, the exclusion of parties outside the cartel. Different from Katz & Mair's (1995) theory that focuses on state subsidies in Western Europe, or Slater (2006) & Ambardi's (2008) Indonesian-style study on post-election transactions, the concept of Integrated Electoral Cartelization shows the expansion of a new form of cartel politics characterized by parties as agents of cartels that serve a centralized party oligarchy.

Abstract

Political participation in elections is an equal political right and opportunity for the community without discriminating against certain groups, including people with disabilities. The Sehati Association as a community organization based on community development and empowerment for persons with disabilities in Sukoharjo Regency is influential in efforts to increase the political participation of persons with disabilities. The purpose of this study is to describe the political participation of the Sehati Association and analyze the factors inhibiting the political participation of the Sehati Community in the 2024 elections in Sukoharjo Regency.This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach, which was conducted in Sukoharjo Regency. The data collection techniques used were interviews and documentation. Data validity uses the triangulation method. The results of this study indicate that the form of political participation of the Sehati Association in the 2024 Election is participation in voting rights, participation in political discussions through the Socialization of the 2024 Election Kirab, participation of the Sehati Association in the Voting Committee, Voting Implementation Group, and Monitoring Team for the implementation of elections, and creating interest groups with the aim of advocating for the fulfillment of political rights of disabilities. In addition, there are several factors that hinder the political participation of the Sehati Association in the 2024 elections, namely political education for election organizers and the community, accessibility of polling stations for disabilities, lack of assistance and support from families, culture inherent in society, and distrust of disabilities towards the government.

Abstract

Kebijakan luar negeri suatu negara dapat didasarkan pada kultur strategisnya, dan Amerika Serikat tidak terkecuali dengan Indo-Pacific Strategy 2022. Kultur strategis Amerika Serikat mencakup nilai-nilai seperti hak asasi manusia dan kesetaraan, supremasi hukum dan ketertiban, liberalisme, serta American Exceptionalism. Banyak narasi melihat kehadiran Amerika Serikat di kawasan Indo-Pasifik hanya dari aspek keuntungan ekonomi dan keamanan semata, padahal terdapat dimensi kultur strategis di balik kebijakan tersebut. Melalui penelitian kualitatif ini, penulis berupaya menghadirkan pembaruan dengan memperdalam analisis terhadap kultur strategis dalam perumusan dan implementasi Indo-Pacific Strategy 2022. Penelitian ini juga menyoroti bagaimana kultur strategis Amerika Serikat terkadang berbenturan dengan kultur strategis lokal negara-negara Indo-Pasifik, sehingga mempengaruhi efektivitas pelaksanaan kebijakan. Selain itu, pendekatan konstruktivis digunakan untuk menekankan peran identitas, nilai, dan norma dalam membentuk Indo-Pacific Strategy. Temuan penelitian ini turut memperluas pemahaman mengenai kebijakan luar negeri Amerika Serikat melampaui interpretasi berbasis realisme dan liberalisme.

Abstract

This article examines the political relevance of Pancasila in the context of shifting political orientations among the younger generation in the digital era. The advancement of information technology has significantly reshaped patterns of political participation, the internalization of national values, and the ethical behavior of youth in digital spaces. Employing a qualitative descriptive method through a comprehensive literature review, this study draws from a wide range of academic sources to explore the evolving relationship between digitalization and civic identity. The findings suggest that while digital platforms offer new avenues for political engagement, they simultaneously pose critical challenges such as polarization, the spread of disinformation, and the erosion of Pancasila-based values. Strengthening the political relevance of Pancasila in the digital realm is therefore imperative for preserving national identity and moral integrity. This effort requires strategic synergy among families, educational institutions, government entities, and media platforms to instill Pancasila values in a contextual and meaningful manner for the digital-native generation. Ultimately, the study underscores Pancasila not merely as a constitutional foundation, but as a guiding ethical framework for nurturing responsible and dignified digital citizenship.
