Abstract

Instagram has become a major tool in shaping tourism representation and constructing cultural identity. This research analyzes how the Tomb of the Mataram Kings in Yogyakarta is represented on Instagram @kratonjogja and its impact on tourists' interpretations. Using a critical phenomenology approach, the study argues that Instagram is not merely a promotional platform but also an instrument of symbolic domination that aestheticizes and commodifies cultural heritage. Through digital content analysis, in-depth interviews, and participatory observation, this study reveals that tourists' experiences are increasingly mediated by digital expectations, diluting the historical and spiritual significance of the sites. Consequently, this study underscores the necessity for a critically informed tourism management strategy to mitigate the symbolic dominance of digital platforms while safeguarding the historical-spiritual integrity of cultural sites within contemporary tourism promotion dynamics.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the empowerment of Battalion Commander (Danyon) leadership in enhancing soldier professionalism to face contemporary challenges. These challenges include the development of military technology, non-conventional threats such as hybrid warfare and cyberattacks, as well as rapidly changing geopolitical dynamics. The study examines how Danyon applies transformational leadership to shape soldiers who are resilient, adaptive, and equipped with both technical and moral competencies. Through a qualitative research method with a case study approach, this research collects data from in-depth interviews with Danyon and soldiers, field observations, and document analysis related to training and unit operations. The findings show that effective Danyon leadership can significantly improve soldiers' motivation, discipline, and capability to face modern challenges. Moreover, mental development and soldier welfare are crucial factors in supporting unit combat readiness. The discussion also highlights the essential role of technological adaptation and resource management in maintaining professionalism and operational effectiveness within the unit.

Abstract

Indonesia has been a place of conflict due to its multicultural structure and diversity of ethnicities,religions, customs and more. Indonesia has had to face major problems, such as intra-state conflicts.The threat of state disintegration began to appear as a result of these conflicts. One form of conflict thathas occurred is the Aceh conflict. To anticipate social conflicts using a local wisdom approach, soldiersof the Iskandar Muda Military Region Command (Kodam IM), a regional unit under the command of theArmy Headquarters, are required to understand the culture and customs of the Acehnese people. They are also required to prevent the spread of separatism, which could threaten national security. In this research, the author will use Role Theory, because this theory is considered relevant to examine the issues raised. In addition, researchers will also use the concepts of Radicalism, Separatism, and National Security. The research method used by researchers is a qualitative approach and analytical descriptive research type. This research aims to know examine and understand the social processes centered on and efforts of Kodam IM in anticipating radicalism and separatism in Aceh in order to maintain Indonesia's national security.

Abstract

This article explores how factors such as race, religion, and political power influence the classification of violent acts as “terrorism,” focusing on two mass shootings in the United States: the 2016 Pulse Nightclub attack by Omar Mateen and the 2018 Tree of Life Synagogue attack by Robert Bowers. Using a qualitative comparative case study, the research reveals how the application of the terrorism label often depends on the perpetrator’s identity. Despite both attackers having clear ideological motives, Mateen a Muslim of colorwas swiftly labeled a terrorist, while Bowers a white man driven by white supremacist beliefs was more often described in terms of hate crime or mental health issues. The study highlights that the term “terrorism” functions less as an objective legal definition and more as a social and political construct shaped by racial and religious biases. By analyzing narratives, media portrayals, and policy responses, the article shows that these labeling practices significantly impact security strategies, shape public opinion, and contribute to the marginalization of minority groups. Ultimately, the article argues for a more neutral and consistent approach to defining and addressing ideological violence, emphasizing the need to critically examine how power dynamics shape discourse around domestic extremism.

Abstract

Agrarian conflict remains a structural problem in Indonesia and has the potential to become a social threat at the local level. In West Java, land disputes often involve local communities and PT Perkebunan Nusantara (PTPN) as large-scale managers, mainly due to overlapping land ownership claims between official rights and de facto control by the community. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of agrarian conflicts between communities and PTPN as a potential social vulnerability in the region using the perspectives of regional vigilance and conflict management. This study applies a qualitative descriptive method through literature review and document analysis. Agrarian conflicts between communities and PTPN often develop into latent conflicts characterized by increasing community dissatisfaction. The socio-economic dependence of communities on land intensifies the conflict and broadens its impact to the social sphere, thereby increasing the potential for regional social vulnerability. These findings confirm that agrarian conflicts can be understood as a potential social vulnerability that can be identified early on.

Abstract

This study examines the phenomenon of artificial intelligence (AI)–driven disinformation and its implications for public trust within the context of Indonesia’s digital democracy. The research focuses on a deepfake video depicting a figure resembling the Indonesian Minister of Finance, Sri Mulyani Indrawati, falsely stating that “honorary teachers are a burden to the state.” This study employs a qualitative research design using Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework, which encompasses three levels of analysis: textual analysis, discursive practice, and social practice. The findings reveal that AI technologies are utilized to manipulate meaning through the strategic use of language and visual representation, further amplified by social media algorithms that prioritize emotionally engaging content. Such dynamics accelerate the circulation of disinformation and shape public perception in the digital public sphere. Consequently, the phenomenon contributes to a crisis of public trust (trust deficit) and undermines the legitimacy of digital democracy. By integrating the theoretical perspectives of Information Disorder and Digital Democracy, this study argues that AI-based disinformation should not be understood solely as a technological issue, but also as an ethical and informational justice problem with broader implications for the quality of democracy in the digital age.

Abstract

This study examines the comparative legal frameworks governing cybersecurity and personal data protection in Vietnam and Indonesia within the context of rapid digital transformation in Southeast Asia. As digital economies expand and internet penetration increases, both countries face growing cyber threats and complex challenges related to data governance, privacy protection, and national security. The research aims to identify the similarities and differences in the legal approaches adopted by Vietnam and Indonesia in regulating cybersecurity and data protection. The study employs a normative legal research approach combined with comparative legal analysis. Primary data consist of legal documents, including laws, decrees, and government regulations related to cybersecurity and personal data protection in both countries. Secondary data include academic literature, scholarly journal articles, and international reports discussing digital governance and cybersecurity policy in Southeast Asia. The data are analyzed using qualitative descriptive methods to identify regulatory characteristics, institutional structures, and enforcement mechanisms. The findings show that Vietnam adopts a centralized and security-oriented governance model emphasizing national security, political stability, and strong state control over cyberspace. In contrast, Indonesia implements a more decentralized and rights-based regulatory framework influenced by international standards such as the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), focusing on personal data protection and digital economic integration.

Abstract

This study analyzes the bilateral relations between Indonesia and Taiwan within the framework of the New Southbound Policy (NSP) launched by the Tsai Ing-wen administration in 2016. Using a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach and a multidisciplinary theoretical framework combining strategic realism and soft power theory, this research examines how both entities navigate complex interdependence despite the absence of formal diplomatic ties. The findings indicate that Indonesia occupies a crucial position in the NSP due to its strategic maritime geography and “Free and Active” foreign policy, which allows for substantial pragmatic cooperation in non-political sectors. Economic data reveal a solid growth trend, with bilateral trade exceeding $14 billion in 2022 and significant Taiwanese FDI in Indonesia's strategic industries. Furthermore, the study identifies a “soft power gap” in educational exchanges and highlights the vital role of the Indonesian migrant worker community and halal tourism as grassroots bridges that strengthen socio-cultural ties. The research concludes that the sustainability of this partnership relies on leveraging these non-political channels to align with Indonesia's national priorities, such as the Golden Indonesia Vision 2045, while managing regional strategic competition.

Abstract

Border areas are a strategic manifestation of territorial sovereignty for national integrity and natural resource management. However, these regions often face complex challenges regarding human security, such as poverty and food insecurity. This research aims to explore the dynamics of bilateral cooperation between Indonesia and Malaysia in realizing a secure and prosperous border, focusing on the land territory of Kalimantan as well as the maritime regions of the Malacca Strait and the Celebes Sea. Using a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach with a case study method, this research relies on secondary data from policy documents and academic literature. The research results identify five main dimensions of cooperation: territorial boundary affirmation, security (joint patrols), economy (revitalization of State Border Posts), social-labor relations, and environmental protection. Although institutional cooperation has been established, its effectiveness is hindered by maritime delimitation disputes, economic development disparities, the prevalence of illegal activities through "unofficial paths" (jalur tikus), and weak domestic inter-agency coordination. Theoretically, this study emphasizes that regional stability is no longer sufficient through traditional security approaches alone; community welfare and access to basic services have become the primary keys. As a future strategy, this research recommends accelerating diplomacy for boundary disputes, digitalizing surveillance through drone technology, and empowering the local economy through MSMEs to strengthen national loyalty. Academically, this research contributes to international relations studies regarding functional border governance that balances sovereignty control with the dynamics of cross-border socio-economic interaction.   Wilayah perbatasan merupakan manifestasi kedaulatan teritorial yang strategis bagi keutuhan negara dan pengelolaan sumber daya alam. Namun, kawasan ini sering menghadapi tantangan kompleks terkait keamanan manusia (human security), seperti kemiskinan dan kerawanan pangan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengeksplorasi dinamika kerjasama bilateral Indonesia–Malaysia dalam mewujudkan perbatasan yang aman dan sejahtera, dengan fokus pada wilayah darat Kalimantan serta kawasan maritim Selat Malaka dan Laut Sulawesi. Menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif-analitis dengan studi kasus, penelitian ini mengandalkan data sekunder dari dokumen kebijakan dan literatur akademik. Hasil penelitian mengidentifikasi lima dimensi utama kerjasama: penegasan batas wilayah, keamanan (patroli bersama), ekonomi (revitalisasi Pos Lintas Batas Negara), sosial-ketenagakerjaan, dan perlindungan lingkungan. Meskipun kerjasama institusional telah terjalin, efektivitasnya terhambat oleh sengketa delimitasi maritim, ketimpangan pembangunan ekonomi, maraknya aktivitas ilegal melalui "jalur tikus", serta lemahnya koordinasi antarlembaga domestik. Secara teoritis, kajian ini menekankan bahwa stabilitas kawasan tidak lagi cukup hanya dengan pendekatan keamanan tradisional; kesejahteraan masyarakat dan akses terhadap layanan dasar menjadi kunci utama. Sebagai strategi ke depan, penelitian ini merekomendasikan percepatan diplomasi sengketa batas, digitalisasi pengawasan melalui teknologi drone, serta pemberdayaan ekonomi lokal melalui UMKM untuk memperkuat loyalitas nasional. Secara akademik, penelitian ini berkontribusi pada kajian hubungan internasional mengenai tata kelola perbatasan fungsional yang menyeimbangkan kontrol kedaulatan dengan dinamika interaksi sosial-ekonomi lintas batas.

Abstract

This study examines the dynamics of conflict and border governance between Indonesia and Timor-Leste from the perspective of Integrated Border Management (IBM). Border conflicts in this region are not only related to territorial delimitation but are also influenced by historical, social, cultural, and political factors, particularly customary land disputes among border communities. The colonial legacy of the Dutch and Portuguese created inconsistencies between formal state boundaries and the social realities of local communities that maintain cross-border kinship relations and communal customary land ownership systems. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method through literature studies and policy analysis to examine the implementation of border governance and the effectiveness of cross-border coordination within the IBM framework. The findings indicate that although Indonesia and Timor-Leste have established various regulations and bilateral cooperation mechanisms such as Law Number 43 of 2008, the National Border Management Agency (BNPP), and the Joint Border Committee (JBC), their implementation still faces significant challenges, including institutional fragmentation, weak policy synchronization, and the dominance of statecentered security approaches that insufficiently accommodate the social realities of indigenous communities. The study also reveals that compared to Indonesia’s border governance with Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam, and Australia, the implementation of IBM in the Indonesia-Timor-Leste border area demonstrates strengths in socio-cultural approaches and indigenous community participation, but remains weak in institutional integration, technological capacity, and crossborder coordination. Therefore, strengthening intersectoral coordination, policy harmonization, and local community participation is essential to achieving more effective, inclusive, and sustainable border governance. Keywords: border conflict, customary land, Indonesia-TimorLeste, border governance, Integrated Border Management (IBM)
