Abstract

This study examines the legislative discourse surrounding Indonesia’s Job Creation Law (Omnibus Law), focusing on the inherent tension between attracting foreign direct investment and upholding constitutional labor protections. Since the 1998 Reformation, Indonesia has struggled to balance neoliberal economic aspirations with social justice mandates. Utilizing Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) on parliamentary debates, policy white papers, and judicial review transcripts, this research identifies a dominant narrative of "emergency economic acceleration" used to justify the erosion of severance pay, job security, and environmental safeguards. The findings suggest that the Omnibus Law represents a significant shift toward a "flexicurity" model that lacks the robust social safety nets found in Western counterparts, effectively creating a paradox where legal progress for capital mobility results in legal regression for labor rights. This paper argues that such legislative strategies may undermine long-term democratic stability by deepening socio-economic inequality. It provides a cautionary case study for other emerging economies attempting to reform complex legal landscapes through high-speed, multi-sectoral legislation.

Abstract

In many Indonesian communities, mental health crises are frequently interpreted through the lens of spiritual possession (kerasukan) or supernatural intervention. This study explores the discursive gap between traditional healing practices and modern psychiatric frameworks. Through a qualitative multi-sited ethnography involving spiritual healers (dukun), psychiatrists, and families of patients in Java and South Sulawesi, the research investigates how pluralistic health-seeking behaviors are negotiated. The results reveal that while clinical psychiatry is increasingly accessible, patients often prefer a hybrid approach that addresses both biological symptoms and spiritual anxieties. The study identifies "cultural translation" as a critical missing link in Indonesia’s public health policy, where psychiatric interventions often fail due to a lack of engagement with local ontological beliefs. By proposing a collaborative model of "culturally-informed psychiatry," this research contributes to the global discourse on decolonizing mental health. It argues that recognizing the validity of cultural idioms of distress is essential for improving treatment adherence and reducing the stigma associated with mental illness in non-Western contexts.

Abstract

The rise of ride-hailing platforms like Gojek and Grab has transformed Indonesia into one of the world’s largest laboratories for the gig economy. However, beneath the promise of "flexible work" lies a growing phenomenon of algorithmic precarity. This paper investigates how digital platforms exercise "soft control" over drivers through opaque rating systems, incentive structures, and automated suspensions. Employing a mixed-methods approach—comprising digital ethnography in driver Telegram groups and semi-structured interviews—this study maps the forms of "digital resistance" emerging among ojek (motorcycle taxi) drivers. These include the use of "tutor" apps to bypass GPS restrictions and the formation of informal grassroots unions to demand transparency. The findings indicate that the algorithm functions as a digital panopticon that shifts operational risks from the corporation to the individual worker. This research contributes to global labor sociology by demonstrating that despite the lack of formal employee status, gig workers in the Global South are developing sophisticated counter-narratives and collective strategies to challenge technological hegemony.

Abstract

As the world pivots toward renewable energy, Indonesia has positioned itself as a pivotal player in the global Electric Vehicle (EV) supply chain by leveraging its status as the world’s largest nickel producer. This paper analyzes Indonesia’s "downstream" (hilirisasi) policy, which bans raw ore exports to compel domestic processing and battery manufacturing. Drawing on a political ecology framework and geopolitical discourse analysis, the study evaluates the trade-offs between national economic sovereignty and environmental sustainability. While the policy has successfully attracted massive investments from China and the West, it has simultaneously triggered international trade disputes (WTO) and raised concerns regarding the ecological footprint of high-pressure acid leaching (HPAL) technology. The research finds that "Nickel Diplomacy" serves as a double-edged sword: it empowers Indonesia in the global North-South negotiation but risks creating "green sacrifice zones" in mining regions like North Maluku. The paper concludes that for Indonesia’s transition to be truly "just," the discourse must move beyond GDP growth to include rigorous environmental accountability and indigenous land rights within the global green energy narrative.

Abstract

The linguistic phenomenon popularly known as Bahasa Anak Jaksel (South Jakarta slang)—characterized by frequent code-switching between Indonesian and English—has evolved into a significant cultural signifier in contemporary Indonesia. This paper examines the sociolinguistic functions of this hybrid language through the lens of Pierre Bourdieu’s "cultural capital." By analyzing social media content and conducting focus group discussions among urban youth, the study explores how linguistic hybridization serves as a tool for identity performance and class distinction. The research finds that while the slang is often ridiculed as a sign of superficiality, it functions as a strategic marker of neocolonial cosmopolitanism, signaling the speaker’s access to international education and global neoliberal networks. Furthermore, the discourse surrounding this slang reveals deep-seated anxieties about the "purity" of the national language versus the pragmatism of global fluency. This study contributes to the field of world Englishes by illustrating how language becomes a battlefield for class competition and social mobility in a rapidly globalizing Southeast Asian metropolis.
