Abstract

This study aims to interpret the lived experiences of pineapple farmers in mobilizing social capital to build livelihood resilience in Prabumulih, South Sumatra Province, Indonesia. The study employed a qualitative approach with an interpretative phenomenological design. The researchers purposively selected 25 informants, including farmers as the primary informants and supporting actors involved in pineapple processing, farmer groups and cooperatives, and agricultural institutions. The researchers collected data through semi-structured in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation and analyzed the data using an interpretative phenomenological approach guided by abductive reasoning. The findings reveal three relational mechanisms. First, kinship reciprocity rooted in Seinggok Sepemunyian generates bonding social capital that strengthens buffer capacity through trust, solidarity, and mutual assistance. Second, value-added collectivity through the MIWA Cooperative, women farmers’ groups, agritourism, fiber processing, and knowledge networks generates bridging social capital that strengthens self-organization and the capacity for learning. Third, empowerment linkages with government institutions, state-owned enterprises, private companies, and knowledge institutions generate linking social capital that expands farmers’ access to technology, resources, markets, and institutional authority while strengthening their agency and transformative capacity. This study demonstrates that livelihood resilience does not merely constitute a household-level capacity; rather, farmers activate it relationally through configurations of bonding, bridging, and linking social capital that are rooted in local culture and enable them to move from coping toward adaptation and transformation.

Abstract

The degradation of contemporary democratic quality has increasingly manifested through the rise of digital populism and the declining level of public trust in state institutions. This study aims to examine how populist discourse constructed in social media shapes citizens’ perceptions of democratic legitimacy and contributes to the erosion of institutional trust. A qualitative descriptive–interpretive approach was applied, drawing on data from active social media users, civil society activists, academics, and journalists. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, digital document analysis, and non-participant observation of discursive interactions in online political spaces. Thematic analysis indicates that digital populism operates as a sphere for articulating public dissatisfaction with political elites and democratic procedures, expressed through moralistic narratives, issue simplification, and institutional delegitimation. The circulation of biased information and echo-chamber dynamics reinforces structural distrust and weakens procedural democratic legitimacy. These findings reveal that democratic backsliding occurs within the domains of discourse, political perception, and citizens’ trust relations toward public institutions.

Abstract

This study examines how the Indonesian government protected Indonesian citizens affected by Cambodia’s online scam industry between 2020 and 2024, with particular attention to individuals identified or documented as victims of trafficking in persons, and evaluates gaps between formal protection mandates and documented outcomes. It employs a descriptive qualitative case study and documentary analysis of 31 government, embassy, international organization, NGO, academic, and media documents. The documentary record shows that Indonesian authorities handled a substantially larger population of citizens associated with online scam cases than those formally identified as trafficking victims; these categories are therefore treated separately throughout the analysis. State protection is most clearly documented at the rescue, consular assistance, victim-identification, referral, and repatriation stages, while post-return rehabilitation, economic recovery, and long-term monitoring remain less systematically documented. The findings also show that transnational syndicates exploit digital recruitment, tourist-visa travel, indirect transit routes, debt, document confiscation, confinement, and physical, psychological, and financial coercion. Three recurring implementation gaps are identified: a temporal gap between the escalation of cases and institutional responses, a coverage gap affecting citizens who move through non-procedural migration channels, and a capacity-related gap between broad protection mandates and the publicly documented institutional resources available for implementation. The study contributes by adapting personal security analysis to the role of a migrant-origin state and by emphasizing protection continuity from prevention and identification to rescue, repatriation, and reintegration.
