Abstract

States today face overlapping global crises, including financial instability, pandemics, climate change, migration, geopolitical conflict, and widening inequality. These crises no longer operate in isolation but interact in what scholars describe as a polycrisis. This article analyzes how state capacity determines the ability to manage such compounded socio-economic shocks. Using a systematic literature review covering 2006–2025 and comparative analysis across political regimes and regions, the study identifies key determinants of crisis governance. Findings indicate that state capacity is not merely coercive strength but a multidimensional construct encompassing institutional quality, democratic legitimacy, multilevel coordination, and integration within global governance frameworks. Democratic regimes tend to demonstrate stronger long-term resilience, although authoritarian systems may respond more rapidly in early crisis stages. Welfare states show adaptive variation under globalization pressures, while fragile states face compounded challenges from corruption, sanctions, and external conditionalities. Multilevel and hybrid governance arrangements emerge as critical mechanisms for navigating polycrisis conditions. However, political short-termism, bureaucratic decline due to sanctions, and fragmentation of international organizations constrain effective and equitable crisis management. The article concludes that anticipatory and cooperative governance, supported by robust domestic institutions and coordinated global frameworks, is essential for sustaining socio-economic stability under conditions of systemic global disruption.

Abstract

This study examines digital governance in archipelagic villages as a strategic approach to improving governance effectiveness amid challenges of limited access, infrastructure, and institutional capacity. Digital governance is expected to accelerate administrative services, enhance transparency, and strengthen citizen participation, yet its implementation often faces constraints related to digital infrastructure, literacy, and organizational readiness. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical design, utilizing secondary data obtained through a systematic literature review of reputable academic journals and policy documents. Data were collected through documentation techniques and analyzed using qualitative content analysis and comparative methods to identify patterns of digital innovation and their impacts on governance effectiveness. The results indicate that digital governance innovations such as village administrative applications, integrated service systems, digital financial management platforms, and SPBE-based village websites significantly improve service efficiency, transparency, accountability, and citizen participation. However, these benefits are not evenly realized due to persistent challenges, including limited ICT infrastructure, low digital literacy, and weak institutional capacity. The study concludes that the effectiveness of digital governance in archipelagic villages depends on an integrated and adaptive approach that combines technological innovation with infrastructure development, capacity building, and multi-stakeholder collaboration to ensure sustainable and inclusive governance transformation

Abstract

This study examines the transformation of village governance in archipelagic regions, which are often characterized by geographical isolation, limited infrastructure, and restricted access to public services. These structural challenges necessitate innovative policy interventions from local governments to enhance governance effectiveness and support sustainable development. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical design, utilizing secondary data derived from a systematic literature review of relevant scholarly articles, policy documents, and empirical case studies. Data were collected through documentation techniques and analyzed using qualitative content analysis and comparative methods to identify patterns of policy innovation and their impacts on governance transformation. The findings reveal that local government policy innovations—such as adaptive spatial planning (RDTR), tourism-based development, collaborative governance, BUMDes innovation, and digital governance systems (SPBE) play a significant role in improving access to services, strengthening infrastructure, and enhancing institutional capacity. However, challenges such as limited ICT infrastructure, weak coordination, and low human resource capacity remain critical barriers. The study concludes that an integrated and adaptive governance approach, supported by strong institutional capacity and multi-stakeholder collaboration, is essential for achieving sustainable and inclusive governance transformation in archipelagic villages.

Abstract

The rise of digital technologies has significantly transformed the dynamics of sexual violence cases, particularly through the emergence of digital vigilantism as a form of public-driven justice. This study aims to analyze how digital vigilantism influences the rule of law and state legitimacy. Employing a normative juridical approach with a qualitative design, this research utilizes secondary data derived from scholarly literature, legal documents, and comparative case studies across multiple jurisdictions. Data were collected through a systematic literature review and analyzed using doctrinal and thematic analysis to identify patterns, tensions, and implications of digital vigilantism practices. The findings reveal that digital vigilantism functions as a double-edged phenomenon. On one hand, it accelerates accountability, amplifies victims’ voices, and pressures law enforcement to act more responsively. On the other hand, it undermines fundamental legal principles such as due process, presumption of innocence, and legal certainty, while fostering parallel systems of “trial by social media.” Furthermore, the widespread reliance on digital vigilantism reflects a broader crisis of trust in formal legal institutions, thereby weakening state legitimacy. In conclusion, digital vigilantism both challenges and reinforces the authority of the state. Without balanced regulatory frameworks and institutional reforms, its expansion risks eroding the rule of law while simultaneously emerging as a response to institutional deficiencies in addressing sexual violence

Abstract

The global rise of pseudo-democratic regimes reflects a paradox in contemporary politics, where democratic institutions are maintained in form but undermined in substance. This study aims to analyze how the concentration of power within pseudo-democratic systems constructs the illusion of democracy and shapes political legitimacy. The research employs a normative juridical approach with a qualitative design, utilizing secondary data from scholarly literature, legal documents, and comparative case studies across various political contexts. Data collection was conducted through a systematic literature review, while data analysis applied doctrinal and thematic approaches to identify patterns of institutional manipulation and legitimacy construction. The findings reveal that pseudo-democratic regimes rely on mechanisms such as electoral manipulation, legislative and judicial capture, media control, and patronage networks to consolidate power. These mechanisms weaken democratic principles, including the rule of law, accountability, and political equality, while maintaining a façade of democratic procedures. Furthermore, political legitimacy in such regimes shifts from participatory legitimacy toward performance-based and symbolic legitimacy. In conclusion, pseudo-democracy represents a hybrid governance model that combines democratic appearance with authoritarian substance, ultimately eroding the integrity of democratic systems while sustaining regime stability through constructed legitimacy.

Abstract

The rise of social media has transformed the landscape of justice, particularly in handling sexual violence cases in Indonesia, giving rise to the phenomenon known as “viral justice.” This study aims to analyze how social media shapes public pressure, influences institutional responses, and generates ethical dilemmas in legal processes. A qualitative socio-legal approach was employed, utilizing in-depth interviews, digital ethnography, and document analysis. Data were analyzed through thematic and content analysis to identify patterns in public discourse, institutional behavior, and ethical challenges. The results indicate that social media plays a dual role. On one hand, viral content accelerates institutional responses, enhances transparency, and amplifies victim voices, functioning as an informal mechanism of social control. On the other hand, it introduces significant risks, including trial by media, misinformation, and the erosion of legal principles such as due process and presumption of innocence. The discussion highlights that the phenomenon of “No Viral, No Justice” reflects both the strengths and weaknesses of the current legal system, emphasizing the need for balance between public engagement and legal integrity. In conclusion, social media has become a powerful but complex tool in the pursuit of justice. Its role must be managed through appropriate regulations and digital literacy to ensure fair and accountable legal processes.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of competence and work ethics on the performance of members of the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) of West Java Province, with job satisfaction as an intervening variable. The research method used is a survey with a quantitative approach. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to members of the DPRD of West Java Province.The results of the study show that competence and work ethics have a significant influence on the performance of DPRD members. Additionally, job satisfaction is proven to be an intervening variable that strengthens the relationship between competence and work ethic on the performance of DPRD members. These findings indicate that the improvement of competence and work ethic not only has a direct impact on performance but also increases job satisfaction, which in turn positively contributes to the performance of DPRD members. This study provides practical implications for human resource management in governmental institutions, particularly in efforts to improve the performance of DPRD members through the enhancement of competence, work ethic, and job satisfaction.

Abstract

The provision of the thirteenth salary is mandated by the President of the Republic of Indonesia through Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 14 of 2024 concerning the Provision of Religious Holiday Allowances and the Thirteenth Salary for State Officials, Retirees, Pension Beneficiaries, and Allowance Recipients in 2024. This policy aims to maintain public purchasing power and assist in fulfilling the family needs of government employees. However, employees who are not part of the State Civil Service at the Regional Public Hospital of West Nusa Tenggara Province are not included as recipients of the thirteenth salary based on the provisions stipulated in Government Regulations and Governor Regulations. On the other hand, these non-civil service employees perform duties and service functions similar to those of civil servants, which has led to demands for the provision of the thirteenth salary. This study aims to analyze the policy on the provision of the thirteenth salary for non-civil service employees at the Regional Public Hospital of West Nusa Tenggara Province and to identify the obstacles encountered in its implementation. The research employs a normative method with a statutory approach through the analysis of regulations related to the provision of the thirteenth salary and financial management policies within the Regional Public Service Agency system. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the thirteenth salary for non-civil service employees still faces several major challenges, including the absence of specific regulations governing the provision of the thirteenth salary for non-civil service employees, the lack of budget allocation in the Business and Budget Plan, and the relatively large number of non-civil service employees,  which creates a financial burden for the hospital. Therefore, internal regulations are required as a legal basis, along with adequate budget planning, to support the implementation of this policy.

Abstract

Sexual violence remains a persistent and under-prosecuted crime in Indonesia, where survivors frequently encounter institutional inertia, evidentiary hurdles, and social stigma that stall formal legal processes. Over the past five years, social media platforms have emerged as an alternative arena in which survivors, activists, and the wider public expose stalled cases, mobilize sympathy, and generate what scholars term "viral justice" or the "no viral, no justice" phenomenon. This article synthesizes recent Indonesian and international scholarship (2021-2026) to analyze how digital virality and public pressure shape the handling of sexual violence cases by police, prosecutors, and courts. Using a systematic narrative literature review of twenty-five peer-reviewed sources selected through a PRISMA-informed screening process, the study identifies four recurring themes: the mechanics of viral escalation, the accelerating effect of public pressure on institutional response, the risks of justice reduction and digital vigilantism, and emerging regulatory and digital-literacy countermeasures. The findings indicate that virality can shorten institutional response time and increase case visibility, but it simultaneously threatens due process, equality before the law, and victim privacy when it substitutes for, rather than supplements, procedural justice. The article concludes by proposing a balanced framework that channels public digital pressure into accountability mechanisms without displacing formal legal safeguards.

Abstract

Asymmetric decentralization has emerged as an increasingly important framework for accommodating the political, fiscal, cultural, and historical diversity of subnational regions within unitary states. Unlike symmetric decentralization, which grants uniform authority to every local government, asymmetric decentralization allows a differentiated distribution of governmental authority based on the specific needs, historical claims, and administrative capacities of particular regions. This study examines the application of the concept of asymmetric decentralization in local government governance through a qualitative, normative-juridical, and comparative case study approach, drawing on twenty-five peer-reviewed academic sources published between 2021 and 2026. The analysis centers on special autonomy arrangements in Papua, Aceh, and Yogyakarta, Indonesia, and is triangulated against comparative international cases, including Pattani in Thailand, the Anglophone regions of Cameroon, Georgia, Portugal, England, Spain, China, Tanzania, and Ghana. The findings indicate that the success of asymmetric decentralization is strongly contingent upon local governance quality, particularly institutional capacity, fiscal capability, and accountability mechanisms, rather than on the breadth of devolved authority alone. This study proposes an integrative capacity-contingent framework that positions governance quality as a moderating variable linking asymmetric decentralization design to local governance outcomes, offering theoretical contribution and practical policy implications for governments designing differentiated regional autonomy arrangements.
