Abstract

This study analyzes the resilience of Tenganan Pegringsingan Customary Forest against tourism pressure and state regulation. Synthesizing Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), Social Capital, and Ostrom’s Institutional Design, this research employs a qualitative case study to examine the causal-institutional dynamics of resource management. The findings reveal a paradoxical condition: the forest management is internally optimal, supported by high biodiversity and strict customary laws (awig-awig), yet externally vulnerable to legal fragmentation and market commodification. State interventions often create legitimacy crises, while global ecotourism risks eroding sacred values. The study concludes that sustainability requires a "nested enterprises" model in which indigenous institutions are recognized as equal partners in governance. Furthermore, contextual education is essential to prevent the erosion of TEK among the younger generation, ensuring the long-term preservation of this social-ecological system.

Abstract

The political economy of development is a significant field of inquiry that examines the interaction between political power and economic dynamics at the national and global levels. This study aims to map and analyze the development of the political economy of development literature, with a particular focus on state–market relations and global capitalism. The research employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) combined with bibliometric co-occurrence analysis of peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2000 and 2025. Bibliographic data were analyzed using VOSviewer to identify thematic clusters, conceptual linkages, and temporal research trends. The findings indicate that the political economy of development literature is structured around several core themes, including the role of the state and public institutions, global capitalism and economic globalization, and state–market relations in the formulation of development policies. The results further suggest that global capitalism shapes national policy spaces asymmetrically, leading state–market relations to be understood as a dynamic arena of negotiation rather than a binary opposition. Moreover, the growing use of bibliometric approaches reflects increasing methodological maturity and reflexivity within the field of political economy of development studies. This study contributes by providing a systematic mapping of the intellectual structure and research trajectories of the political economy of development, while offering a conceptual foundation for future research and the formulation of adaptive development policies in the context of global capitalist dynamics.

Abstract

This article examines the ethical paradox underlying the crisis of public trust in Indonesian democracy that followed the 2025 nationwide protests over the housing allowance policy for members of the House of Representatives (DPR). The protests reflected strong moral resistance to injustice amidst socio-economic pressures. Still, the rapid easing of public anger after the policy's revocation suggests a pattern of collective forgiveness that undermines demands for ethical accountability. This Research aims to define forgiveness as a critical ethical category in Indonesian politics. This study utilises a qualitative-descriptive literature review and critical discourse analysis. It combines John Rawls's theory of distributive justice, Alasdair MacIntyre's virtue ethics, and Jürgen Habermas's discourse ethics to interpret the crisis of trust as a question of moral legitimacy rather than simply a policy failure. The analysis demonstrates that forgiveness operates ambivalently: on the one hand, it maintains social harmony and political stability, while on the other, it normalises elite ethical violations. This article proposes a critical ethics of forgiveness as a paradigm for restoring public trust, one that demands reflection, communication, and moral accountability.

Abstract

Informal parking remains a persistent urban phenomenon in Makassar City, especially in areas with high economic activity and mobility. It is often seen merely as a regulatory violation, although it reflects complex social dynamics and power relations. This study analyzes the configuration of informal parking networks and how formal and informal relations shape the control of parking space. Using a qualitative approach through observation and in-depth interviews with parking attendants, PD Parking Makkassar, and local officials, the study applies Rhizomatic Network Analysis and assemblage. The findings show that informal parking operates through dispersed, adaptive, and non-hierarchical networks involving multiple actors, including non-formal actors who influence protection and economic flows. Legal status often emerges after practices are established, blurring formal and informal boundaries. Informal parking is thus best understood as a spectrum of practices shaped by dynamic power relations and urban spatial configurations.

Abstract

This study examines Israel’s recognition of Somaliland in the context of maritime insecurity in the Red Sea during 2023–2026. The research addresses how and why state recognition can function as a strategic instrument for maritime security. The study aims to identify the strategic interests Israel seeks to secure, assess Somaliland’s geopolitical value, and analyze the regional security implications of the recognition. The analysis applies Neorealism and Regional Security Complex Theory to explain the interaction between structural pressures and regional security dynamics. The research employs a qualitative case study design based on document analysis of institutional reports, policy documents, and scholarly literature. The findings indicate that Israel’s recognition of Somaliland serves as a strategic response to maritime vulnerabilities around the Bab el-Mandeb chokepoint by expanding potential access to strategic infrastructure such as Berbera Port. However, this move also triggers regional securitization related to territorial integrity and alters the security configuration of the Red Sea region.

Abstract

Indonesia’s decision to issue the world’s first sovereign green sukuk in 2018 raises a fundamental question: why did Indonesia choose to pioneer it? This paper argues that Indonesia’s decision was driven by identity and a quest for international recognition, rather than solely by financial calculations. Using constructivism and status-seeking theory, this paper employs an interpretive case study to analyze how Indonesia utilized sovereign green sukuk as an instrument of status-seeking. The findings indicate that Indonesia pursued status from a position of limited recognition, deliberately institutionalized its green sukuk program before issuance, and simultaneously sought recognition from both the Islamic finance community and Western climate governance circles. Eight consecutive issuances totaling US$7.7 billion—without a single conventional sovereign green bond—confirm this identity-based strategy. This case demonstrates that a middle power can pursue status through policy innovation in niche areas, rather than through military or economic dominance.

Abstract

The 2026 Iran–United States War and disruptions to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz show that ASEAN’s economic vulnerability depends not only on energy prices but also on simultaneous shifts in physical supply, marine insurance, trade finance, and sanctions regulations, while each country’s capacity to adjust varies. This article employs Keohane and Nye’s concept of complex interdependence to understand sensitivity and vulnerability in terms of shock costs and adjustment costs, as well as Farrell and Newman’s concept of weaponized interdependence to explain the influence of financial networks and compliance mechanisms beyond ASEAN’s control. Through qualitative process tracing, document analysis, and cross-country comparisons, the study traces the chain from the Hormuz disruption to logistical pressures, fiscal responses, commercial decisions, and regional coordination. The results show that while ASEAN mitigated some initial pressures, adjustment costs remained high because of dependence on Middle Eastern oil, limited substitution options, reserve and fiscal gaps, uncertainty over sanctions, and regional emergency regulations that remain voluntary. ASEAN Centrality helps with coordination, but the bloc lacks the material capacity to share risks and supply equitably.

Abstract

This article explains how Indonesia negotiates international human rights commitments and domestic moral politics in its foreign policy toward LGBTQ rights. Combining qualitative foreign policy analysis, critical discourse analysis, and a temporal comparison of Indonesia’s third and fourth Universal Periodic Review (UPR) cycles, it examines national reports, recommendations and government responses, UN and ASEAN instruments, diplomatic statements, and domestic political discourse from 2017 to 2023. The findings identify six interrelated strategies: generalization, procedural engagement, selective acceptance, moral reframing, sovereignty shielding, and strategic silence. These strategies separate protection from explicit recognition, allowing Indonesia to preserve international credibility while operating within a domestically constrained political win-set. The article develops the concept of selective human rights diplomacy and argues that diplomatic ambiguity is a structured instrument of dual-legitimacy management. Aggregate UPR acceptance rates therefore cannot substitute for recommendation-level analysis of wording, justification, and implementation.

Abstract

Israeli–Palestinian negotiations remain constrained by their limited capacity to address the roots of the conflict. This study examines how an apparently available space for compromise in Israeli–Palestinian negotiations can be evaluated through the concepts of the Zone of Possible Agreement (ZOPA) and positive peace. The central problem is to identify when a historically recurring space for compromise turns into a Pseudo-ZOPA, namely a bargaining space that appears productive but does not generate structural transformation. The study employs a qualitative approach based on library research, critical-conceptual analysis, and directed qualitative content analysis. Rather than presupposing that freedom of movement, access to holy sites, and prisoner releases are technical compromises, the study treats them as recurrent areas of proposed compromise and then tests them through three positive-peace indicators: reduction of structural injustice, expansion of political recognition, and contribution to conflict transformation. The analysis of Oslo II, Camp David 2000, the Annapolis 2007–2008 process, and recent ZOPA mapping demonstrates a distinction between substantive ZOPA that engages final-status issues but fails to be consolidated, and technical ZOPA that may reduce tensions without necessarily transforming the roots of conflict. The study concludes that Pseudo-ZOPA is useful for explaining compromises that appear procedurally productive but remain non-transformative for positive peace.

Abstract

This study analyzes higher education governance and institutional autonomy in Indonesia through the lens of political institutions and public policy. It examines how the state politically constructs, constrains, and negotiates university autonomy within the state-university relationship. Using a new institutionalist framework and a qualitative document-analysis design, this study examines legislation, policy instruments, institutional reports, and academic literature on higher education governance in Indonesia. The findings show that institutional autonomy operates not as full independence but as negotiated authority embedded in state regulation and accountability regimes. Tensions between autonomy and performative accountability risk narrowing academic freedom and the university’s democratic function. Specifically, performance-based accountability mechanisms reshape the university’s role in democratic deliberation and political communication. The study concludes that democratic and accountable higher education governance requires balancing university autonomy, public accountability, and academic freedom as a pillar of democratic life and knowledge development.
