Abstract

This study aims to open a new space for more reflective and transformative dialogue on the strategic role of the media in building an Indonesian society that is truly inclusive, just, and respectful of religious diversity. This study uses a critical qualitative approach by applying critical discourse analysis as the main framework for analysing the construction of religious tolerance discourse in the Indonesian media. By examining news, opinions, and visualisations produced by mainstream and digital media, this study adopts Norman Fairclough's model, which analyses three dimensions: text, discursive practice, and social practice. The results indicate that mainstream media are often not neutral and tend to reproduce the political or economic interests of dominant groups, so that narratives of tolerance usually only serve to legitimise false harmony. At the same time, discrimination and injustice against minorities continue. Therefore, the media must undergo a critical transformation by prioritising ethical courage, public literacy, and commitment to human rights to truly become a space for advocacy, reflection, and facilitation of change toward a more just, pluralistic, and inclusive Indonesian society.

Abstract

This study aims to open up space for reflection and debate on the need for a paradigm shift and new methods in developing Islamic economics in Indonesia. It uses a critical qualitative approach based on political economy theory and Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to examine the influence of the neoclassical paradigm on Islamic economic policy in Indonesia. The results indicate that critical reflection on the dominance of the neoclassical approach in Islamic economic policy in Indonesia reveals that Islamic economics remains trapped in epistemological and methodological subordination to the global capitalist system, often failing to realise the ideals of social justice, wealth distribution, and empowerment of vulnerable groups as mandated by the maqaṣid al-shari'ah. This phenomenon occurs because the success of Islamic economics is more often measured through neoclassical indicators that emphasise asset growth, efficiency, and market competitiveness, rather than substantive transformation of inequality and poverty structures. Nevertheless, this criticism should be viewed as a constructive call to rebuild the paradigm, decolonise Islamic economic knowledge, and reaffirm the agenda of social justice and empowerment of the ummah in every policy, innovation, and sharia institution.

Abstract

This study seeks to raise collective awareness that effective character education cannot be achieved solely through verbalistic and indoctrinative instilling of values. Still, it requires emotional involvement, psychological sensitivity, and authentic relationships between educators and students as idealised by Rogers. This study uses a library research-based qualitative approach that thoroughly examines the literature related to Carl Rogers' thinking, humanistic education theory, and various academic works discussing character education in Pesantren. The results clearly state that character education in Pesantren still faces challenges in providing space for personal experiences and critical reflection among students, despite its success in building a disciplined and strong community. Carl Rogers' humanistic approach is relevant as a constructive offer because it emphasises the importance of freedom, authentic experiences, and the conscious internalisation of values. If integrated reflectively without abandoning traditional roots, it can enrich the pesantren character education model and produce a generation of santri who are obedient but also adaptive, critical, and ready to become agents of social change.

Abstract

This study aims to identify structural, cultural, and political factors that still hinder women in fighting for gender interests in the public policy arena. This study employs a qualitative research method using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) developed by Norman Fairclough, combined with intersectionality analysis from Kimberlé Crenshaw, and political representation theory from Hanna Pitkin to produce a comprehensive, critical, and contextually sensitive analysis of Indonesia's socio-political landscape. The findings state that it is now time for Indonesia to stop being satisfied with merely increasing the number of women in politics and start demanding real change—not just new faces, but bold moves that can dismantle patriarchal public policies, free women from co-optation, and promote the emergence of female leadership that dares to challenge, defend the oppressed, and demand substantive justice; political feminism must become the energy that forces the state and political parties to truly prioritise women's interests, not just use them as window dressing for democracy. To achieve this, a transformation of political culture, structural reforms, and the strengthening of women politicians' capacity are needed so that they can stand firm amid the whirlwind of political compromise and the still very strong pressure of masculinity.

Abstract

This study aims to map patterns of discrimination arising from colonial legacies, whether in the form of legal norms, institutions, or law enforcement practices, and to offer an alternative perspective that can elevate the experiences of marginalised groups as a basis for national legal reform. This study employs a critical qualitative method grounded in document and critical discourse analysis, particularly by adopting Critical Race Theory (CRT) as its primary theoretical and methodological framework. The results of the deconstruction of colonial law through Critical Race Theory (CRT) clearly show that the Indonesian national legal system still harbours residues of colonial discrimination and bias, so that administrative revisions alone are not sufficient to eradicate entrenched injustice. Therefore, a paradigm shift and transformative legal reform are needed, one that dares to place the experiences of marginalised groups at the centre of renewal, to build a legal structure that is truly inclusive, fair, and responsive to the needs of all citizens. This is the time for the Indonesian nation to commit to legal decolonisation that is not merely symbolic but real and liberating to achieve substantive justice that upholds humanity.

Abstract

Religious identity in Indonesian public schools is not a stand-alone entity, but rather part of a broader social construct of Indonesianness and modernity. The purpose of this study is to explore in depth how religious identity is negotiated in Indonesian public schools amid the dynamics of an ever-changing national curriculum policy. This study uses library research by combining relevant inter-theoretical interactions. The results confirm that the negotiation of religious identity in Indonesian public schools is not merely a clash between state secularism and expressions of faith, but a manifestation of the nation's efforts to rewrite the relationship between religion, morality, and nationality. Public schools become a space for cultural politics where teachers and students transform policy into meaningful practice, making the curriculum both an ideological text and an arena for ethical dialogue. In this process, religiosity does not oppose secularism, but rather reinterprets it into a spiritual awareness that respects diversity. Thus, national education finds its most profound meaning not merely in producing obedient citizens but in making people who are reflectively faithful, critically rational, and authentically pluralistic.

Abstract

Islam Nusantara is a reflective project that demands critical thinking, open dialogue, and the courage to remap the dynamics of religion in Indonesia in the era of globalisation and transnationalism. This study aims to describe in detail the discourse of Islam Nusantara in the current Indonesian context, including how the term, ideas, and implementation have developed from the local to the national level. This study focuses on conceptual and theoretical analysis through an in-depth literature review and cross-theory integration. The results confirm that the purity of Islam does not lie in rejecting culture, but in the ability to ignite divine values across diverse human realities. Islam Nusantara is a form of intelligent resistance to transnational purification that imprisons Islam in dogma, as well as a cultural project that affirms the sovereignty of Indonesian Muslims' interpretation of their own religion. In its reflective and open form, Islam Nusantara teaches that true piety is born of dialogue, not uniformity, and of wisdom that grows on one's own soil, not blind imitation of the centre of power. Thus, Islam Nusantara is not only a local discourse but a global offer on how religion can remain sacred without losing its humanity.

Abstract

This study develops a new paradigm of deradicalisation that positions the family as the leading actor, rather than merely the object of policy. Through the integration of a multidisciplinary approach and multi-stakeholder engagement, this study seeks to formulate a deradicalisation strategy that not only addresses the surface symptoms of radicalism but also the socio-cultural, psychological, and structural roots that drive it. This study applies a library research method, integrating key theories and empirical findings from multiple disciplines to gain a comprehensive understanding of family-based deradicalisation strategies in Indonesia. The results confirm that deradicalisation strategies through family programmes in Indonesia are a fundamental approach, but cannot be separated from the dynamics of internal conflict, generational change, and increasingly complex digital and social challenges. The family can indeed be an initial filter and strategic space in preventing radicalism, but its effectiveness depends heavily on its capacity for dialogue, digital literacy, and adaptability to changing times, as well as tangible support from the state and communities that strengthen the surrounding social ecosystem. State intervention in the private sphere of the family must be carried out sensitively and participatively, not through repressive surveillance, but through empowerment and facilitation of critical discussion spaces that build family resilience without sacrificing its autonomy.

Abstract

In an era of decentralisation and strengthening regional autonomy, recognition of the role of indigenous peoples in social governance is becoming increasingly important. This study integrates a community-based restorative justice approach into national legal policy, thereby strengthening efforts to reform the criminal justice system, reducing the burden on law enforcement agencies, and increasing the sense of justice at the grassroots level. This study primarily focuses on integrating relevant theories to construct a comprehensive framework for understanding restorative justice in Indonesian indigenous communities as a form of contextual justice. The results confirm that restorative justice in Indonesian indigenous communities is not merely a traditional legacy, but an intellectual discourse of resistance against the state's monopoly on defining and enforcing justice. Amid national laws that remain colonial in nature, the practice of customary justice shows that true justice arises from the depths of human relationships, not from the rigidity of procedures. The tension between state law and customary law, the decolonial function of restorative justice, and the risk of domestication through institutionalisation all emphasise the need for a paradigm shift in Indonesian law. Thus, the future of justice in Indonesia depends on the state's courage to be the sole centre of legitimacy no longer, but to become a space for dialogue that allows customary justice to grow as an equal partner in upholding humanity and restoring communal life.

Abstract

Zakat, which should be a strategic instrument of social justice, is often still positioned as short-term charitable assistance rather than transformative socio-economic capital. This study proposes an understanding of productive zakat not only as an Islamic economic instrument but also as a welfare policy practice with broad implications for the configuration of social justice in Indonesian urban spaces. This study uses a non-empirical qualitative method, with a critical literature review and an integrative conceptual analysis. The results indicate that productive zakat in Indonesia will be truly meaningful only if it does not stop at mere religious jargon or a financial redistribution mechanism, but becomes a social movement that upholds structural justice in a capitalist, unequal urban ecosystem. Zakat must transcend its role as an aid and function as an agent of change that challenges the roots of poverty, reorganises the power relations between muzakki, amil, and mustahik, and restores the spirit of maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah as an ethical energy for the liberation of humans from dependence and injustice. The success of productive zakat, therefore, is not measured by the number of program success reports or nominal increases in funds, but by the courage of zakat institutions to position themselves as a space for moral resistance against an economic system that breeds inequality by proving that Islamic spirituality not only teaches compassion, but also solidarity with those who are most marginalised in the city.
