Abstract

Amid the hegemony of economic globalisation, which often reduces development to growth figures, this study lays a strong foundation for the urgency and contribution of Indonesia's inclusive economic diplomacy grounded in the Pancasila ideology, as an effort to respond to global challenges while realising national ideals. This study employs a qualitative approach with a conceptual-normative design integrated with policy analysis and critical discourse analysis. The results confirm that Pancasila-based inclusive economic diplomacy will only be meaningful if Indonesia dares to treat Pancasila as a moral veto against investments, trade, and green schemes that appear profitable in paper but are detrimental in terms of distribution to workers, MSMEs, farmers, indigenous peoples, and disadvantaged regions. Pancasila, as the state ideology, can function as a productive diplomatic resource, not merely a symbolic backdrop. At the same time, the practical policy implications require institutional mechanisms that transform Pancasila into decision-making metrics through indicators of local supply chains, skills transfer, protection of labour rights, environmental restoration, SME access to project contracts, and a framework for negotiations in the G20, ASEAN, BRICS, OECD, and UNFCCC forums that place transitional justice as a global moral obligation.

Abstract

In a democratic arena increasingly vulnerable to being hijacked by empty slogans, identity politics, and repression disguised as order, this study critically examines how civil society movements reinterpret Pancasila as a source of moral legitimacy and a practical strategy for reclaiming freedom, testing the accountability of power, and upholding equal rights for citizens as the core of substantive democracy. This study is an interdisciplinary qualitative case study grounded in a multi-perspective approach that combines democracy and social movement theory and is complemented by the lens of hegemony-legitimacy and discourse theory. The results state that Pancasila will not save democracy if it continues to be treated as a mantra of unity that is sterile from conflict, because in an ecosystem of political identity, closed bureaucracy, and digital propaganda, Pancasila is easily hijacked and used as a moral stamp to justify silencing, discrimination, and impunity. Therefore, strengthening democracy requires the activation of Pancasila as an ethical weapon that can be enforced rather than sacralised through concrete indicators of official behaviour, as well as a counter-narrative language capable of subduing hate speech and disinformation through the production of short content, testimonials from local figures, and micro-influencer networks that transform national pride into a commitment to human rights.

Abstract

In a global political landscape increasingly defined by the battle of values, narrative power, and moral legitimacy, this study departs from the provocative philosophical premise that Pancasila is not merely an ideological legacy frozen in national rituals, but rather a moral identity that is only meaningful to the extent that it can intervene in injustice, reject dehumanisation, and guide Indonesia to produce a credible ethical position amid the global crises of technology, climate, and identity populism. This study uses a qualitative approach with an interpretive-critical case study design combined with discourse analysis and narrative analysis, as its main objective is to interpret the construction of meaning and moral legitimacy that works through language, symbols, and practices of Indonesian representation in global politics, so that it is not relevant to reduce it to quantitative measurements or linear cause-and-effect testing. The results indicate that the Pancasila narrative can be positioned as Indonesia's moral identity, serving a dual function: strengthening Indonesia's normative legitimacy in global politics while shaping citizens' ethical orientation in responding to value-laden cross-border issues. Pancasila is a deliberate narrative that can be operationalised through public messaging, curriculum, cultural diplomacy, and strategic communication, so that Pancasila is no longer understood as rhetorical legitimacy, but as a tool capable of changing the way citizens interpret patriotism, promoting technological ethics, and mobilising collective action for justice in global issues.

Abstract

Amid the tide of religious transnationalism that makes faith a cross-border political identity, the resilience of the Pancasila ideology is tested not only by overt threats but primarily by the nation's capacity to maintain national consensus. This study uses a mixed-methods approach with a convergent-integrative design that simultaneously combines non-interactive qualitative and quantitative analysis, recognising that the dynamics of transnational religious movements and the resilience of the Pancasila ideology are ideological, discursive, and structural phenomena that require in-depth analysis and empirical measurement. The results confirm that the dynamics of transnational religious movements interact with the resilience of the Pancasila ideology through three interlocking channels, namely an algorithm-based digital da'wah ecosystem that normalises radicalisation and shifts civic loyalty towards a political ummah, cross-border funding infrastructure that converts philanthropy into an instrument for regulating the social agenda as well as substituting the function of the state, and institutional strategies that engineer official norms through education, local regulations, bureaucracy, social certification, and soft law mechanisms that often escape public scrutiny. This synthesis refines the findings of previous studies that usually stop at violent extremism by showing that the erosion of national consensus more often occurs through discursive normalisation, service dependency, and standardisation of piety that appears pious but gradually shifts constitutional legitimacy.
The Narrative of New Order Development in the Relationship between Pancasila and the Legitimacy of Power Muhdar; Muhammad Ilham Daffa; Razi Alif Al Faiz; Abdel-Dzhalil Niyazov; Yahya Muhamad

Abstract

Under the New Order, development did not merely promise material progress, but also produced a political truth that made Pancasila a moral and technocratic language. This study aims not only to uncover the past but also to re-examine the relationship between Pancasila and development from a critical perspective to prevent the state's basic ideology from being reduced to a narrow political instrument. This study uses a qualitative-interpretative approach with a historical design grounded in critical discourse analysis. The results show that the New Order's development narrative indicates that the legitimacy of power did not primarily arise from debates about truth, but rather from engineering that made obedience appear moral, infrastructure appear as evidence of goodness, and social conflict appear as administrative disturbances, so that the public was trained to judge the government based on the visibility of work and order, rather than justice and rights. When development is used as aesthetics, control easily becomes virtue, eviction becomes reorganisation, silencing becomes stabilisation, and criticism becomes a threat to unity. Therefore, a constructive re-actualisation of Pancasila must dare to reverse this logic by making it a language of accountability that invites criticism, restoring conflict as a legitimate part of deliberation, and forcing development to be measured by its impact on dignity and the distribution of justice, while acknowledging the limitations of archival evidence and demanding further research that places the experiences of affected citizens at the centre of moral-political verification.

Abstract

Indonesia’s abundance of minerals places the country in a paradoxical position, caught between the opportunity to build new economic sovereignty and the risk of becoming trapped in technological dependence and global economic power imbalances. This study aims to analyse the role of critical minerals in shaping the global economic geopolitical landscape and its implications for efforts to strengthen Indonesia’s national economic sovereignty. The study employs a qualitative approach with an exploratory-analytical economic geopolitical research design. The findings confirm that the future of Indonesia’s economic sovereignty within the geopolitics of critical minerals is not solely determined by the abundance of natural resources, but by the state’s ability to transform mineral wealth into a foundation of technological, institutional, and economic justice capable of critically navigating the complexities of the global green economy, which simultaneously opens up new opportunities for power and the risk of deeper geopolitical inequalities. The practical implications demand a paradigm shift in policy from mere resource nationalism towards a more radical and inclusive strategy of technological and industrial sovereignty, whilst theoretically opening up space for the development of new energy geopolitical studies that are more sensitive to the dimensions of domestic power and global inequality within the green economy.

Abstract

The practice of nepotism persists as a social phenomenon that reflects the fundamental tension between the impersonal logic of state law and the structures of family solidarity and patronage networks that remain deeply rooted in Indonesian social culture. This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of how a culture of nepotism is formed and maintained within the bureaucratic recruitment process in Indonesia, through the lens of legal sociology. This study employs a qualitative, socio-legal research design focused on legal-sociological analysis to gain a deep understanding of how the culture of nepotism is formed, reproduced, and legitimised in bureaucratic recruitment practices in Indonesia. The findings confirm that the problem of nepotism lies not only in the weak enforcement of rules, but in the mismatch between the design of state institutions and the collectivist cultural structure of society. Consequently, efforts at bureaucratic reform that rely solely on anti-nepotism regulations are likely to fail unless accompanied by a transformation of power relations and a more equitable distribution of social access. Therefore, a shift in perspective is required: from a moralistic approach that merely condemns nepotism towards a structural approach that seeks to understand and redesign bureaucratic institutions so that they can bridge the demands of meritocracy with the social realities of society.

Abstract

Character education in Indonesia faces an existential paradox, as the moral values that should liberate people are at risk of being reduced to tools of adaptation within a market logic that demands relentless efficiency, productivity and competitiveness. This study aims to develop a conceptual framework to explain the relationship between local character values and global competencies, and to explore how integrating the two can be implemented in educational practice. This study employs a sequential explanatory design, enabling both in-depth exploration and testing of conceptual relationships. The findings confirm that character education in Indonesia faces not merely implementation challenges, but is caught in a deeper epistemological crisis, wherein moral values are produced, negotiated, and even compromised within the framework of a non-neutral global competitive rationality, thus revealing that the education system implicitly has the potential to act as an agent reconstructing morality according to market logic, rather than merely transmitting noble values. The contribution of this study lies in dismantling the assumption that character education is inherently noble, by demonstrating that without structural transformation, it may instead function as symbolic legitimisation for contradictory educational practices, whilst simultaneously offering a new conceptual direction that positions character as a critical arena between resistance and adaptation.

Abstract

Amidst the global euphoria surrounding the transition to a low-carbon economy, decarbonisation is in fact ushering in a new chapter in the politics of natural resources. This study aims to analyse the relationship between the global decarbonisation agenda and the politics of natural resource management in Indonesia, with a particular focus on its implications for the rights of indigenous peoples. This study employs a qualitative, critical case study design, given that the phenomenon is complex, contextual, and involves power relations that a purely quantitative approach cannot adequately explain. The findings confirm that decarbonisation not only brings about an energy transition but also creates new political arenas in the struggle for authority over territories and natural resources, where the state, the global market, and the carbon regime form a configuration of power that risks reproducing the logic of extractivism in a greener guise. The energy transition, which is normatively promoted as a solution to the climate crisis, risks creating an ecological-political paradox as strategic mineral projects, green industrial zones, and market-based carbon economies expand institutional control over forests and indigenous territories that have long served as the foundation for ecosystem sustainability. The conflict between climate mitigation and the sovereignty of indigenous communities is not an anomaly but a structural consequence of integrating nature into the logic of the carbon market and the industrialisation of clean energy.

Abstract

Nusantara cosmology proposes a radical reversal of the human–nature relationship, positioning humans not as the centre of power but as an ethical part of a cosmic web of life that demands existential responsibility for the sustainability of the universe. This study aims to systematically analyse the human–nature relationship within Nusantara cosmology, identify its underlying foundational principles, and explore its potential to contribute to sustainable ecological solutions, using a qualitative approach grounded in critical ethnography. The findings reveal that the modern ecological crisis is fundamentally a crisis of perspective. Thus, the reconstruction of Nusantara cosmology is not merely a cultural endeavour, but an epistemological intervention with the potential to reshape the foundations of the human–nature relationship by positioning nature as a meaningful subject demanding ethical, legal, and political recognition. Through the integration of the concept of nature’s subjectivity, the revitalisation of rituals as social technologies, and the reinterpretation of cosmic values within the framework of public policy, this study implicitly challenges the dominance of the exploitative development paradigm whilst offering a new horizon for an ecological ethics that is more relational, contextual, and transformative, albeit still facing the tension between modern rationality and cultural legitimacy, as well as limitations in the institutionalisation of spiritual values within formal systems.
