<![CDATA[Indonesia, the greatest waste producer in Southeast Asia, is grappling with a significant issue of food waste, which makes up 41.07% of the nation’s overall waste. Waste4Change, a social enterprise specializing in sustainable trash management, is collaborating with the Bekasi administration to address the issue resulting from insufficient public awareness. The study elucidates Waste4Change’s role in attaining the 12th Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) in West Java. This is accomplished through the utilization of descriptive analysis methods and data collection approaches such as interviews and literature studies. Waste4Change employs norm life cycle theory and a global governance strategy to transform the way society manages food waste. Studies indicate that Waste4Change has adopted a comprehensive strategy for waste management by utilizing campaigns, teaching, and collaboration. However, limitations in infrastructure, technology, and resources hinder individuals from acquiring further knowledge on the subject of food waste management. Further assessments are required to determine the long-term efficacy of Waste4Change in attaining sustainable development objectives in West Java.]]>

<![CDATA[Indonesia’s economic diplomacy focuses on three main activities: trade, tourism, and investment. Indonesia has also begun to seek expansion in non-traditional markets such as the Middle East region by conducting economic diplomacy. The Indonesian government receives assistance from the Indonesian Trade Promotion Centre (ITPC) in the Middle East Region, specifically ITPC Jeddah, to facilitate the implementation of trade as a component of economic diplomacy activities. However, since COVID-19 hit, conventional diplomacy activities have shifted to digital diplomacy. Various exhibitions are conducted online; even business matching can only be done via teleconference. In addition, ITPC Jeddah has also begun to utilize social media, especially Instagram, to expand and increase awareness of the Middle East community’s superiority of Indonesian trade commodities. Through Kishan Rana’s four stages of economic diplomacy, this research explains how Indonesia’s digital economic diplomacy patterns are reviewed through the ITPC Jeddah Instagram account. This research will later produce how ITPC Jeddah conducts its digital diplomacy and determine whether ITPC has used its social media optimally as a tool for digital economic diplomacy.]]>

<![CDATA[As an Indonesian province adjacent to Singapore and Malaysia, the Riau Islands is also strategically a foreign investment center. Unfortunately, ongoing challenges in border management, from inter-agency coordination to cumbersome customs procedures and insufficient infrastructure, undermine its investment appeal. Border efficiency and investment climate will be the idea of this research under an IBM (Integrated Border Management) scheme in Riau Islands cities such as Batam, Bintan and Karimun. This study tackles three central research question as following; What are the main problems of border management in Riau Islands? and What are the IBM principles that can apply here as things we must be putting in practice to overcome these challenges? Method: To address these questions, the study uses qualitative research methodology, combining in-depth interviews with government officials and policy analysts as well as local business leaders with document analysis of regional border and trade policies. The results indicate the constraint of coordination of Indonesian border agencies, absence of effective bilateral formulary with Singapore and Malaysia become main issues affecting efficient delivery/serving at the borders. A two-tiered IBM will be proposed in this study: firstly on strengthening the Indonesian agencies to enable national integration to reduce operational burden and bureaucratic delay; secondly on the international collaboration with neighbouring countries to improve cross-border mobility and ensuring security. As a result, the application of IBM will optimize transit time, lower administrative cost and provide certainty in the regulation applies so that Riau Islands could be more appealing to foreign investors. This indicates that an IBM is not only required for border security but also a strategic instrument for regional economic development.]]>

<![CDATA[The case of blasphemy charges against Basuki Cahaya Purnama, also known as Ahok, in Jakarta in 2017 sparked a wave of mass protests, calling themselves the 212 Movement. Based on various criteria and characteristics, scholars have labeled it as an Islamic populist movement, which later inspired various articulations of the movement in different locations. This article explores the articulation of this movement in the economic field under the name 212 Mart in Palembang, South Sumatra. Using the framework of Social Movement Theory, there are two main findings. First, the 212 Mart movement attempts to articulate the ideology of Islamic populism as the framing of the movement through identity sentiments and the strengthening of the community’s economy. The ideology of Islamic populism positions the Muslim community as socially and economically marginalized. Second, the failure of the experimentation of Islamic populism in the 212 Mart movement is attributed to the weakening of economic opportunities and the structure of political opportunities. Thus, this article has contributed to studying Islamic populism through social movement theory by revealing the failure of the 212 Mart movement in Palembang.]]>

<![CDATA[The adoption of Resolution on Female Peacekeepers (Resolution 2538) by the United Nations (UN) Security Council in 2020 signifies Indonesia’s commitment to increasing women’s participation in peacekeeping and their global contributions to peace. Indonesia has a strong track record in peacekeeping, ranking among the top 10 troop contributors by deploying military, police, and expert personnel. Despite prevailing stereotypes that associate warfare with men and view women as vulnerable, women play a crucial and unique role in peacekeeping missions. This article examines the challenges, benefits, and opportunities for Indonesian women in the military who engage in peacekeeping. The research methodology involved interviews with male and female members of the Tentara Nasional Indonesia (TNI) who have served as peacekeepers, as well as the permanent representatives of Indonesia at the UN. Additionally, existing studies on Indonesian women in peacekeeping were reviewed. The research reveals significant challenges faced by Indonesian women in peacekeeping, including limited interpersonal and intercultural communication skills, organizational culture, and biases. Overcoming these challenges is crucial for personal and international benefits. On the other hand, opportunities for enhancing the role of Indonesian women in peacekeeping include promoting kindness and friendliness and implementing regular military practices in local communities. In conclusion, Indonesia’s Resolution on Female Peacekeepers highlights the responsibility of Indonesia to enhance women’s participation in peacekeeping missions. By addressing the challenges and leveraging the opportunities identified, Indonesia can further strengthen its contributions to peacekeeping through the active involvement of women.]]>

<![CDATA[The Indonesian Navy’s National Navy (TNI AL) has an important role in strengthening maritime domain awareness (MDA). In the era of globalization, the sea has become a very vital strategic area for the country. The Indonesian Navy has a major role in guarding and protecting Indonesian territorial waters from various threats, such as terrorism, illegal trade, illegal fishing, and conflicts at sea. To carry out this role, the Indonesian Navy needs good and effective MDA instruments. In building MDA, the Indonesian Navy must have the ability to collect information from various sources, be it through monitoring from the air, sea, or land. This paper uses a qualitative-descriptive method by obtaining data through a literature review process. The Indonesian Navy can utilize sea power to strengthen national defense, increase maritime trade, and secure marine resources. In this case, the Indonesian Navy can act as a protector of national security and also as a driver of economic growth through the maritime sector. In conclusion, TNI-AL plays a very important role in maritime domain awareness. For this reason, the TNI AL needs to have good and effective MDA instruments for gathering information and taking appropriate action. By having this capability, the Indonesian Navy can strengthen national defense and exploit the potential of the sea for the country’s economic progress.]]>
