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.

Abstract

This study examines the transformation of Apple Inc.’s global supply chain within the evolving landscape of the contemporary international political economy, with particular attention to the diversification of its production network toward Southeast Asia and India. The study is motivated by the increasing complexity of global production systems resulting from intensifying geopolitical tensions between the United States and China, trade and technology competition, supply chain disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic, and growing pressures on multinational corporations to strengthen production resilience, flexibility, and risk management. Against this background, the study aims to analyze the nature of Apple’s global supply chain transformation and identify the key economic, geopolitical, and strategic factors driving the geographical diversification of its production activities. Employing a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach, the research draws upon a literature review and analysis of secondary sources concerning global value chains (GVCs), supply chain resilience, de-risking strategies, geopolitical risk, and the international production structure of Apple Inc. The findings indicate that Apple has gradually reduced its excessive dependence on China by adopting a China Plus One strategy, particularly through the expansion of manufacturing activities and supplier networks in Vietnam and India. Nevertheless, China continues to function as a critical and deeply embedded hub within Apple’s global production ecosystem due to its extensive manufacturing capabilities, mature supplier networks, skilled labor base, and integrated industrial infrastructure. Rather than representing a complete relocation or decoupling from China, Apple’s supply chain transformation reflects a gradual process of geographical diversification that has produced a more distributed, flexible, and adaptive multipolar production structure. The study argues that this transformation cannot be understood solely through the conventional logic of cost efficiency and comparative advantage, but must also be examined through the interconnected dynamics of geopolitics, economic security, technological competition, supply chain resilience, and corporate risk mitigation. By highlighting the interaction between corporate strategy and shifts in the international political economy, this study contributes to the literature on global value chains and de-risking by demonstrating how multinational corporations strategically reorganize global production networks in response to geopolitical uncertainty while simultaneously maintaining established production hubs that remain essential to global manufacturing efficiency.

Abstract

The development of the modern sports industry shows that sports no longer function solely as a means of competition and entertainment, but have become part of a global industry involving economic, media, cultural, and marketing interests. In this context, global branding and sports sponsorship strategies have become important instruments for companies to expand their markets and strengthen their brand image. This study aims to analyze Kelme's global branding strategy through its sponsorship partnership with the Indonesian National Team and examine its impact on brand image formation and consumer loyalty. The study uses a qualitative approach with a literature study method that utilizes various sources such as scientific journals, news, company documents, and publications related to the sports industry. The analysis is conducted through a process of data reduction, interpretation, and concluding various relevant information. The results show that Kelme's collaboration with the Indonesian National Team not only functions as a form of sports equipment support but also serves as an effective marketing strategy to increase brand exposure in the Southeast Asian market. The popularity of the Indonesian National Team and the high loyalty of its supporters provide symbolic benefits for Kelme by transferring a positive image and increasing brand awareness among the public. In addition, sports sponsorship can create an emotional closeness between consumers and the brand through the national identity inherent in the Indonesian National Team. This study confirms that sports sponsorship is an effective global branding instrument for strengthening a company's position amid competition in the modern sports industry while building long-term consumer loyalty.

Abstract

Poverty remains one of the development challenges facing Indonesia today. Poverty is not only related to low income levels but also includes limited access to education, health services, employment, and other economic resources. To address these issues, the government cannot work alone but requires support from various non-state actors, including transnational non-governmental organizations (NGOs). This study aims to analyze Oxfam's role in poverty alleviation in Indonesia. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach through a literature review sourced from books, scientific journals, official reports, and relevant documents. The results show that Oxfam contributes to poverty alleviation through community economic empowerment programs, strengthening food security, empowering women, humanitarian assistance, and policy advocacy. One form of this contribution is seen through programs to empower women and strengthen community livelihoods in vulnerable areas, such as East Nusa Tenggara and Central Sulawesi, which aim to increase economic independence and community resilience to various social and economic risks. In addition, Oxfam also supports post-disaster community recovery by providing humanitarian assistance and strengthening local community capacity. Although program implementation still faces various challenges, such as limited funding, coordination between stakeholders, and program sustainability, Oxfam continues to make significant contributions to poverty alleviation efforts and to realizing inclusive and sustainable development in Indonesia.

Abstract

This article introduces the concept of political symbiogenesis as an interdisciplinary framework that, drawing inspiration from evolutionary biology, views the transformation of political institutions not merely as a result of competition and elimination, but as a consequence of sustained symbiosis, mutual interdependence, and increasing complexity. In biology, symbiogenesis emphasizes the role of symbiotic relationships in the emergence of fundamental evolutionary innovations. Critically distancing itself from social Darwinism, this article argues that certain political transformations can also be understood in terms of institutional symbiosis a process in which distinct actors and institutions, through stable relationships of mutual interdependence, transform into newer, more complex orders. The necessity of this new concept, rather than merely extending existing theories, arises from the inability of competition-centric frameworks to explain complex contemporary phenomena such as network governance, federalism, and the coexistence of heterogeneous identity groups. Methodologically, this article is a theoretical-conceptual study that relies on conceptual analysis, interdisciplinary comparison, and critical reinterpretation of the literature. The theoretical findings suggest that political symbiogenesis can serve as a generative analytical concept for understanding these phenomena without being reduced to biological determinism or simplistic analogies. The value of this concept lies in its vision of politics not merely as an arena of conflict, but as a context for the formation of newer, more complex units.

Abstract

This article examines mosques as contested spaces of political meaning through Henri Lefebvre’s theory of the production of space. Challenging the conventional view of mosques as sacred and politically neutral spaces, it argues that even claims of neutrality are politically constructed through the classification and regulation of religious activities by state and non-state actors. The study addresses a gap in existing research, which has largely focused on electoral mobilisation, radicalism, and formal relations between religious institutions and the state, by examining the everyday processes through which mosque spaces acquire and negotiate political meanings. Using a qualitative approach, the study analyses three Indonesian mosques representing distinct religious communities: Pathok Negoro Mosque, associated with traditionalist Islam Husainiyah Jakarta, representing the Shia community and An-Nur Mosque, representing the Ahmadiyya community. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and secondary sources between October and November 2016. The findings demonstrate that mosques are actively produced through spatial practices, everyday religious routines, collective experiences, and interactions between internal and external actors, generating competing meanings as sacred, social, cultural, and political spaces. The study concludes that the politics of the mosque lies not only in explicit political mobilisation but also in ongoing struggles over representation, identity, recognition, belonging, and power.
