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.

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.
