Abstract

The relocation of the National Capital (IKN) from Jakarta to the Indonesian archipelago in East Kalimantan is not merely a technocratic policy, but rather a strategic manoeuvre with a significant impact on Indonesia's political configuration, particularly during the transition from President Joko Widodo to Prabowo Subianto. This study examines how the relocation of the IKN affects the distribution of power, elite alliances, and the role of civil society. Using a qualitative approach based on literature studies and document analysis, the main findings indicate a shift in power from the central elite in Jakarta to local actors and oligarchs involved in the development of the IKN. New political alliances are forming, but they tend to be pragmatic rather than ideologically driven. On the other hand, the power of civil society is beginning to emerge, although its space for participation remains limited, and it is often marginalised. The leadership transition is a crucial context because it determines the sustainability or change in direction of the IKN project. This study emphasises that the development of the new capital reflects a contestation of power and is not politically neutral. Thus, the IKN project is a crucial arena for assessing the extent to which democracy and political participation are truly realised in Indonesia's national development process.

Abstract

This study examines the securitisation process implemented by Indonesia’s Interpol National Central Bureau (NCB) in the arrest of Roman Nazarenko, a fugitive identified as the mastermind behind clandestine drug laboratories. Distinct from previous studies that positioned narcotics as the primary existential threat, this research demonstrates that an individual, Nazarenko, can represent the core threat due to his transnational capacity to establish illicit drug manufacturing. Employing a qualitative approach with purposive sampling, data were collected through an in-depth interview with a key NCB official. They were analysed using the Miles and Huberman model (comprising data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing). Applying Copenhagen School securitisation theory, the study finds that the NCB framed Nazarenko as a critical security threat by issuing an Interpol Red Notice, which functions as a concrete speech act. The effectiveness of this process is reflected in NCB Interpol Thailand’s rapid arrest of Nazarenko at U-Tapao Rayong Airport, which evidences not only threat construction but also real-world audience acceptance and coordinated law enforcement action. By shifting the referent object of securitisation from substance to individual, this study elucidates how NCB Interpol Indonesia dynamically constructs, legitimises, and internationalises new security threats. The findings provide fresh insights into operational mechanisms and underscore the crucial role of international collaboration in combating transnational organised crime.

Abstract

This study analyses the synergy between social welfare policies and family planning programs as part of the Surabaya City Government’s strategy to control population growth. The research aims to examine how the integration of social assistance with Family Planning (FP) services contributes to sustainable population management and to evaluate the effectiveness of these policies through the lens of public policy theory by Merilee S. Grindle. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through in depth interviews with government officials from the office of Women Empowerment, Child Protection, Population and Family Planning (DP3APPKB), as well as from documentation and literature review. The findings reveal that the linkage between social welfare programs and active participation in FP initiatives, supported by adequate budget allocation, inter-institutional cooperation, and accessible services, significantly increases community participation, including among men. Communication strategies, such as the slogan “Two Children Are Healthier” and community-based education through Family Development Groups, have effectively strengthened public awareness of reproductive health and population control. The study concludes that adaptive, integrated, and community-based policy implementation plays a crucial role in achieving population control goals. The synergy between social and population policies not only reduces the Total Fertility Rate (TFR) but also enhances the quality of life and social equity in urban communities.

Abstract

The Regional Representative Council is a representative body at the regional level. It is one of the forms of regional government that has the authority, rights, and obligations to administer its regional government, particularly within its electoral district, to meet the needs of its people. As members of the DPRD, they must also be able to accommodate, absorb and gather the aspirations of the people in their region. The purpose of this study is to analyse the role of Lamongan DPRD members, particularly those from the PKB faction, in absorbing the people's aspirations and to identify the factors that support and hinder the absorption of these aspirations. A qualitative research method was employed, utilising a descriptive approach, which involved collecting data through interviews and observations. The results of this study indicate that the role of PKB faction DPRD members in Lamongan Regency in absorbing community aspirations is carried out through various mechanisms, namely through recesses, working visits, and informal activities. The commitment of Council members and community participation influences the supporting factors. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factors indicate budget and time constraints.

Abstract

The implementation of Transparency and Accountability is a crucial element in creating good governance. These two aspects are interrelated because the East Java Provincial Inspectorate is a supervisory institution that plays a vital role in monitoring and evaluating the performance of local government institutions. However, in this study, the implementation of Transparency covers the internal scope. This study was designed to examine how the East Java Provincial Government Inspectorate maintains Transparency to realise Accountability in the Finance Sub-Section. The method employed in this study is qualitative, with a descriptive approach, where primary data were collected through interviews with treasurers and staff of the Finance Sub-Section. Additionally, secondary data is obtained through a literature review. The results of the study show that the East Java Provincial Inspectorate demonstrates its Transparency by providing access to finance staff to participate in realising accountability in the Finance Sub-Section. Granting access is restricted to finance staff to maintain system security. Although negligence still occurs occasionally, the Finance Sub-Section remains responsible for addressing it.
