Abstract

This article seeks to investigate how simulacra are carried out by Malaysia and the efforts of the border community in Jagoi Babang to maintain their identity with a spirit of nationalism towards Indonesia. Using Baudrillard's theory of hyperreality and simulacra, this study explores how the border community filters various simulacra efforts carried out by Malaysia to change the reality of the border community towards Indonesia. This study uses a case study approach involving observation, documentation, and interviews with 15 informants from various backgrounds. The findings show that Malaysia creates simulacra by giving Indonesian communities in the border region free access to Malaysian state facilities. Meanwhile, the border communities make two efforts to maintain their national identity and avoid being influenced by Malaysian simulacra. First, they strengthen nationalism by using the Indonesian language. Second, they defend their culture through cultural activities and training for the younger generation. The research has theoretical and practical implications because the community has the active ability (agency) to reject simulacra, thereby enriching Baudrillard's theory. In practice, strengthening language and culture at the border is a vital form of non-military national resilience that must be integrated into border policy alongside security and economic approaches.

Abstract

While identity politics has been central to modern political disputes, little work has systematically explored how its discursive deployment has limited interpretations in Indonesia. This paper seeks to fill that gap by examining changes in Indonesian academic discourse from 2011 to 2023 through a systematic literature review and content analysis of 60 peer-reviewed scholarly articles, adopting a Foucauldian genealogical method. Our findings reveal that in the initial phase of our baseline period (2011–15), identity politics was commonly represented as a cultural and ethnic phenomenon or, alternatively, as a natural outcome of plural democracy. A significant rift occurred in 2016–2017, when the “Aksi Bela Islam 212” (action to defend Islam) and the Jakarta gubernatorial election mobilised religious identities and harnessed them as a major academic frame. By 2019, scholarly opinion had little else to call identity politics than religio-electoral arrangements in the register of polarisation and democracy’s perils. However, termination, along with alternative expressions such as gender and ethnic empowerment, received considerably less attention until more recently. The narrowing identifies how Indonesian scholarship has prioritised high-stakes religious electoral politics over broader and more emancipatory identity politics. The research, therefore, highlights how discourse, power, and knowledge production interpenetrate to shape identity politics in post-authoritarian Indonesia.

Abstract

This study examines how the Indonesian Generation Z reimagines the role of citizenship in electoral democracy by developing 11 digital civic prototypes for the 2024 election. This study used Schreier's Qualitative Content Analysis method on prototype documents developed by students of the Political Science Study Program at Brawijaya University. The analysis maps three dimensions of Marshallian rights civil, political, and social and the Westheimer-Kahne citizen typology, adding the categories of digital acts and connective action. The results showed a paradigm shift in citizenship from passive voters to participatory citizens through transparent access to candidate information, online channels for public aspirations, and discussion forums for political deliberation. The majority of prototypes emphasize digital-political literacy and the inclusion of young, first-time, and out-of-town voters by utilizing simple language, infographics, and interactive social media campaigns, including elements of gamification and peer mobilization typical of Gen Z. Dimensions of democratic ethics such as anti-abstention education and anti-money politics are quite strong, but social justice orientation and representation of marginalized groups are relatively weak. These findings confirm that the reimagining of citizenship practised by Gen Z in Indonesia focuses on expanding inclusive and ethical electoral access and participation while also revealing the need to strengthen the justice-oriented dimension of citizenship so that civic tech innovation can serve as a more equitable democratic infrastructure. This study provides conceptual and practical implications for educators, policymakers, and election organisers to adopt a collaborative, literacy-based, youth-friendly civic technology approach.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of electoral principles mandated in Article 22E of the 1945 Constitution—direct, universal, free, confidential, honest, and fair elections—in the 2024 Indonesian presidential and vice-presidential elections, which were marked by legal controversy following Constitutional Court Decision Number 90/PUU-XXI/2023. A socio-legal approach was employed, combining document analysis, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions with election organisers and supervisory bodies. Data were analysed qualitatively using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana interactive model, involving data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The principles of direct and universal suffrage were generally upheld. However, the principles of free, confidential, honest, and fair elections were only partially implemented. Violations identified include money politics, lack of institutional neutrality, power intervention, and vote mobilisation practices. These findings indicate persistent structural weaknesses in Indonesia’s electoral democracy, particularly in the 2024 elections. The study highlights the urgent need for strengthening institutional integrity, improving coordination among supervisory bodies, and enforcing election law more effectively. Enhancing public participation and oversight mechanisms is essential to ensure the full realisation of democratic electoral principles in future elections.

Abstract

This study evaluates the use of artificial intelligence (AI)-generated comics as an instructional medium for assessing students’ literacy skills and their understanding of Indonesian local wisdom values. In the context of increasing educational digitalisation, this research explores how AI-generated comics can be integrated into culturally oriented learning. The study employed a mixed-methods design involving 450 students from 15 schools across seven provinces in Indonesia. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests, student response questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and participatory observations. The findings show a significant improvement (p < 0.05) in students’ performance after using AI-generated comics, with average increases of 32% in literacy scores and 28% in students’ understanding of local wisdom. Qualitative analyses indicate that students responded positively to the interactive comic format, which provided personalised content aligned with their preferences and learning needs. Overall, the results demonstrate that AI-generated comics can serve as an effective instructional tool for integrating digital technology with culturally relevant learning materials, offering implications for curriculum development and instructional practices in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the socio-cultural, economic, and educational aspects of border communities between Indonesia and Malaysia, with a focus on the Malay and Dayak ethnic groups in Paloh (Sambas Regency) and Jagoi Babang (Bengkayang Regency). Persistent disparities in welfare, educational quality, and national integration in Indonesia’s border regions have weakened nationalism and increased socio-economic dependence on Malaysia. On the border, civic education plays a crucial role in strengthening Indonesian nationalism, despite the community’s economic dependence on Malaysia. Through flag ceremonies, character education, and the integration of local wisdom into the curriculum, schools function as the final bastion of nationalism, safeguarding the national identity of the younger generation in the face of economic inequality and transnational influences. Using a qualitative approach that integrates ethnographic and etnopedagogic methods, data were collected through participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. The findings indicate that Indonesian border communities experience a dual identity, marked by both symbolic loyalty to Indonesia and pragmatic attachment to Sarawak, Malaysia. Economic disparities between the two countries, especially in access to infrastructure, education, and labour markets, have heightened social dependency and eroded Indonesia’s national identity. However, the integration of local wisdom and etnopedagogic practices in education in both countries has proven effective in strengthening cultural resilience, social cohesion, and national consciousness among students. Cultural rituals such as Gawai Dayak serve as transnational spaces of solidarity that both connect and differentiate the two nations.

Abstract

The transformation of Turkish nationalism is a unique phenomenon in the ideological transition of a nation. This study aims to explore the shifts in Turkish nationalism from the Ottoman Empire era to the modern Republic of Turkiye. Turkish nationalism will be explored using a qualitative approach, focusing on an in-depth literature review to trace the trajectory of nationalism's transition in Turkish history. Data collection was combined with non-participant observation of the implementation of nationalist practices in daily life or national celebrations in Turkiye. This method was chosen to produce data that provides comprehensive information about Turkish nationalism. Analysis was carried out using Benedict Anderson's 'Official Nationalism' theory to examine the role of state control and Anthony D. Smith's 'Ethnic Core' to understand the process of societal mobilisation. Research results show that the transition of Turkish national identity is very dynamic and undergoes changes in accordance with the needs of Turkish citizens and the policies of their leaders. Turkish nationalism attempts to be shaped by myths and ethnic symbols as well as the collective memory of Turkish citizens regarding their love for the Anatolian homeland, while still implementing top-down governance. During the transition and implementation, Turkish nationalism presents enduring conflicts between the Kemalist/Secular faction and the Conservative faction. The conflict between these two factions manifests as a rejection of Islamic values and of ethnicity, which often coexist. Based on the observations, nationalism is well implemented and arises naturally without coercion within Turkish society

Abstract

This research aims to explore how global pressures, international standards, and institutional structures affect the development and effectiveness of community politicisation, focusing on the similarities and differences between the two countries. This research uses a qualitative method, analysing secondary data from interviews, digital platforms, and public sources, complemented by textual analysis and social network analysis. These findings highlight the key role of isomorphism in standardising politicisation practices, with Indonesia and Japan both adopting community politicisation models to increase public trust and cooperation. However, significant differences were observed in the execution of these models, especially in the level of community involvement and the historical context of their implementation. While Japan's political system has matured through policies and structures such as "koban" and "chuzaisyo", Indonesia faces challenges related to limited resources and community diversity. The research concludes that the success of community politicisation depends on the effective adaptation of isomorphisms to local needs, emphasising the importance of community participation, human resource development, and periodic evaluations for sustainability and effectiveness. Further research should explore the impact of local adaptation and innovation on community politicisation outcomes.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the impact of cafes as gathering places for young people on their socialisation patterns and social interaction in the digital era. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study combines quantitative surveys, in-depth interviews, and observations of young people who frequently visit cafes. The findings indicate that cafes serve as important spaces for social interaction, both face-to-face and through digital media. Key findings highlight the benefits of cafes in facilitating social gatherings, discussions, and remote work, while also revealing negative impacts such as reduced quality of face-to-face communication due to digital device usage. This study contributes to understanding the role of cafes as hybrid spaces combining physical and digital interactions. Policy recommendations include promoting healthy face-to-face communication while leveraging cafes' positive potential to build social networks among young people.

Abstract

In an era in which information flows freely across countless digital channels, understanding how mass media shapes young people's political consciousness has become increasingly vital. This study explores the intricate relationship between mass media—both traditional and digital—and political education among the youth, drawing from democratic theory and media literacy frameworks. Through a comprehensive examination of existing literature, we uncover a fascinating paradox: while today's young generation enjoys unprecedented access to political information and opportunities for civic discourse, they simultaneously face formidable challenges, including media manipulation, echo chambers, and a concerning erosion of trust in news institutions. Our findings reveal that the effectiveness of mass media as an educational tool is not straightforward. Rather, it is mediated by critical factors such as media literacy skills, socioeconomic contexts, and the quality of democratic institutions within which young people operate. In contexts where Indonesian youth navigate their political identities—from bustling cities to remote villages—these dynamics play out in unique ways that deserve careful attention. This research makes a compelling case that effective political education in the digital age requires more than just access to information. It demands integrated approaches that combine formal education, robust media literacy programs, and collaborative efforts among media organisations, educational institutions, and civic groups. The goal is not merely to create informed citizens, but to nurture a generation of young people who can think critically meaningfully in democratic life. As we stand at this critical juncture, the choices we make today about media systems, education, and democratic culture will shape the quality of citizenship for generations to come.
