Abstract

In this article, we investigate how the simulacra perpetrated by Malaysia and the efforts of the border communities of Jagoi Babang to maintain their identity through a spirit of nationalism towards Indonesia. The border region is a complex space that requires a thorough understanding to avoid being affected by the simulacra perpetrated by the neighbouring country. Drawing on Baudrillard's theories of hyperreality and simulacra, this research explores how border communities filter the various simulacra efforts by Malaysia to change the reality of border communities towards Indonesia. A case study approach involving observation, documentation, and interviews with 15 informants from various backgrounds. The research findings show that the Malaysian state performs simulacra by providing easy access to various facilities, such as educational and health services, as well as to economic opportunities, such as shopping and the use of the ringgit in transactions. In addition, this study shows the efforts of border communities to filter simulacra by strengthening nationalism in Indonesia through the use of Indonesian and local languages, as well as through cultural defence, regularly conducting cultural activities and collaborating with related elements. This study provides practical implications for border communities, government and social workers, especially in designing policies to defend the sovereignty and nationalism of the Indonesian nation.

Abstract

Although identity politics dominates contemporary debates, little systematic research has examined how its discursive use has narrowed interpretations in Indonesia. This study addresses that gap by tracing shifts in Indonesian academic discourse between 2011 and 2023 through a systematic literature review and content analysis of sixty peer-reviewed articles, using Foucault’s genealogical approach. The findings show that during the baseline period of 2011–2015, identity politics was framed mainly as a cultural and ethnic phenomenon or as the logical consequence of plural democracy. A major rupture occurred in 2016–2017, coinciding with the “Aksi Bela Islam 212” movement and the Jakarta gubernatorial election, when religious identity was electorally mobilised and quickly institutionalised as the dominant academic frame. By 2019, academic discourse overwhelmingly reduced identity politics to a nexus between religion and elections, often framed in terms of polarisation and threats to democracy. Meanwhile, alternative articulations such as gender or ethnic empowerment appeared only sporadically and remained marginalised. This narrowing indicates how Indonesian scholarship has privileged high-profile religious–electoral conflicts over broader, emancipatory understandings of identity politics. The study thus underscores how discourse, power, and knowledge production interact in shaping 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 aimed to measure students’ readiness to implement artificial intelligence-based project learning by strengthening local wisdom values in Indonesia. Using a quantitative survey method, the participants in this study were 285 program students from universities in Indonesia, namely Universitas Muhammadiyah Ponorogo, Universitas Muhammadiyah Makassar, Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia, and Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta, who were randomly assigned to ensure balanced representation across academic years. The study was an online, objective test on an artificial intelligence-based project aimed at strengthening local wisdom values. Data analysis was used with descriptive quantitative methods. The results of the analysis showed that students’ readiness in artificial intelligence-based project learning for strengthening local wisdom values was at the “good” level of awareness, while other indicators were at the “fair” and “poor” levels, indicating the need for further improvement on artificial intelligence-based project learning for strengthening local wisdom values in Indonesia. These findings underscore the importance of integrating artificial intelligence-based project learning to strengthen local wisdom values. Thus, this study recommended the development of specialised training on artificial intelligence-based project learning to reinforce local wisdom values and to incorporate local wisdom materials into the learning curriculum to equip students with the necessary skills for the development of artificial intelligence.

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

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.
