Abstract

This study examines the implications of the European Union's Deforestation-Free Regulation (EUDR) 2025 policy on Indonesia and Malaysia as major producers of land-based commodities. This study analyzes three critical aspects: the impact of implementation, forms of resistance, and challenges in its implementation. This study employs secondary data (2020-2024) sourced from Google Scholar, Scopus, government publications, and news portals. Thematic coding was applied for data analysis, with triangulation across academic journals, media reports, and policy documents ensuring validity. The EUDR has triggered systematic resistance through diplomatic alliances, WTO lawsuits, national policy adjustments, and farmer protests. Its impacts span multiple dimensions: regulatory, economic, social, and environmental. This study developed an institutional theory framework to understand the impact of global environmental policies, empirically by mapping the strategic responses of developing countries, and practically through concrete policy recommendations in the form of harmonization of certification standards, development of inclusive funding systems, and evidence-based diplomacy strategies. The main findings of the study emphasize the importance of a just transition approach that considers the specific capacities and needs of producer countries in the Global South in implementing global environmental policies.

Abstract

The global demand for nickel is surging, driven by the electric vehicle (EV) and energy storage sectors' push for decarbonization. This paper introduces a social-ecological violence framework to analyse the interconnected forms of violence within the nickel supply chain that are fuelled by surging demand from these sectors. Moving beyond direct human harm, it reveals how nickel extraction, processing, and trade generate overlapping violence against both communities and ecosystems. Examining case studies in nickel-rich countries and employing an eco-centric lens alongside interdisciplinary insights, the paper highlights the social and environmental impacts of the nickel supply chain, such as land dispossession, labour exploitation, pollution, and biodiversity loss, as systemic social-ecological violence. This framework offers a holistic understanding of the nickel supply chain's true costs, revealing feedback loops and power dynamics with the potential to improve extractive industry governance and foster social-ecological reflexivity. Ultimately, it contributes to a critical understanding of sustainability challenges in the energy transition and provides a basis for more sustainable and equitable resource governance towards social-ecological peace, defined by the absence of social-ecological violence and the presence of social-ecological justice and ecological integrity.

Abstract

This research investigates how Indonesia’s decentralization framework affects the recognition and protection of Indigenous communities’ entitlements. Using qualitative methods with a normative juridical, the research analyzes the prevailing legal provisions (Article 18B (2) of the 1945 Constitution, Law 23/2014, Law 6/2014, Law 41/1999, Law 5/1960), and Regional Regulations. In addition, interviews are used to determine the effectiveness of implementation, selected based on criteria (policy makers, policy implementers, and affected indigenous communities). The informants involved in this research consisted of 17 individuals, including: Head of Wali Nanggroe, Head of Civil Registration Officials, Head of Community Empowerment Services, Head of Sub-District, Head of Village, Head of Traditional Institution, and Traditional Figures.The findings reveal that although Indigenous Peoples are constitutionally recognized, implementation at the regional level still faces various challenges, such as weak harmonization between central and regional regulations, and limited understanding by regional governments regarding the substance of Indigenous rights. Several regional governments have not issued specific regional regulations concerning the recognition of Indigenous Peoples or face obstacles in their implementation. This research recommends the need to strengthen legal policies that support the recognition and protection of Indigenous rights through intergovernmental synergy and the enhancement of institutional capacity at the regional level.

Abstract

The trend of increasing HDI in Indonesia for the last few decades does not exceed 2% annually. In fact, human development is a critical factor in increasing the nation’s quality of life. Although a bunch of studies have been done dealing with its determining factors, there is no available generalized conclusion on such determinants. This article aims to find out the empirical factors determining human development in Indonesia. The regression data panel analyzed data from 34 provinces between 2010 and 2024, sourced from the Ministry of Finance and Statistics Indonesia, utilizing STATA 17.0. The results showed that there were seven factors that influenced the success of human development in Indonesia by 85.31%. This finding also indicates that each factor has different strengths and directions of influence simultaneously or partially, implying the need to increase HDI with selective action in the form of determining policy priorities. Such policies can be a lever for the success of long-term human development, and in turn, become the foundation for the development of adaptive and comprehensive policies in local governments. The future study that needs to be carried out on the Gini ratio, which represents inequality, should have implications for HDI and local spending anomalies as a continuation of the findings of this study.

Abstract

PUTIKSARI is one such community-based collaborative innovation in Indonesia. In recent years it has attracted national attention through several awards and its adoption as a replication model in other regions. This study examines how the programme is implemented by looking specifically at how local government actors understand and carry out co-production within the initiative. Using a qualitative interpretive approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with five officials from the subdistrict and village levels, supported by a review of relevant documents. The findings show that PUTIKSARI has gradually shifted the role of citizens from passive recipients of services to active contributors involved in planning, developing, and evaluating thematic village activities. The government notes several positive outcomes from this process, including stronger social legitimacy and better use of local village potential. However, implementation is not without challenges, particularly regarding the uneven participation of community groups and the limited involvement of private actors in programme support and evaluation. Based on these findings, the study suggests that local governments need to strengthen facilitation strategies to build community capacity and ensure broader and more consistent participation.

Abstract

This study examines participatory urban governance in the management of public rental apartments (Rusunawa) in the 24-26 Ilir area of Palembang City, Indonesia. It explores how fragmented institutional arragements and weak coordination among government agencies shape the daily governance of public housing and how residents respond. Using a qualitative ethnographic approach, data were gathered through participant observation, in depth interviews with 20 informants, and field documentation. The findings show that governance of public housing in Palembang operates within institutional fragmentation, where the absence of clear authority and coordination creates governance vacuums that are filled by local actors( neighborhood heads and senior residents). Citizen participation emerges as an adaptive, community-drivenpractice that sustains everyday management despite limited formal support. This participation is largely informal, negotiated, and rooted in social solidarity rather than formal policy mechanisms. The study reframes urban governance as a lived and negotiated process, emphasizing that sustainable public housing management requires recognizing local capacities, institutionalizing deliberative space, and collaborative support from municipal authorities. The research contributes to the discourse on particatory governance in mid-sized cities of the Global South by highlighting the value of community-based management as a foundation for inclusive and context-responsive urban policy.

Abstract

Inclusive governance typically denotes an ethical framework that assures jointly, participatory, and culturally sensitive policy-making, especially in the execution of urban child protection initiatives. This research digs into and discusses the public discourse around the Indonesian Kota Layak Anak (Child-Friendly City/KLA) policy, examining the different media narratives on how they emancipate, legitimize, obfuscate, or thwart the principles of inclusive governance. By using a corpus-assisted discourse analysis (CADS) method, the authors carry out an analysis of 136 articles from different national and local media that were published between 2011 and 2025, and talk about the KLA implementation in Surakarta. The analysis operationalizes inclusive governance along system (collaborative, multi-level governance), actor (accountability, deliberative participation), and culture (community-driven governance) dimensions. The findings reveal that community narratives and cultural narratives prevail discursively and that these heavily draw on local traditions, communal involvement, and symbolic activities. Conversely, accountability and institutional collaboration are practically absent from media scrutiny, often mentioned in passing or in gratuitous terms. The media appears to portray KLA more as a ceremonial success rather than an arena for structural policy reform. The article proposes a discourse analysis framework for understanding how these narratives support or undermine inclusive governance. The study thus contributes to the literature of governance evaluation, policy framing, and discourse analysis by designing a replicable method to assess how the public narration mirrors or masks multi-actor urban policy realities.

Abstract

The dependence of PKH and low financial literacy have led to weak economic independence and food security among low-income families. This study aims to develop a Sustainable Livelihood Frameework (SLF)-based financial literacy model to improve household financial management, encourage productive behavior, and enhance sustainable household food security. The research method used a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews, which were then analyzed through NVivo thematic coding. The research results show a duality: some families have succeeded in escaping poverty, while others remain dependent on the PKH. This is based on findings in the SLF Analysis related to financial literacy, which shows that PKH recipients still face context, conditions, and trends of inflation and social stigma. Meanwhile, livelihood resources are still weak and are utilized in a limited manner. Institutional processes and organizational structures are still not optimal in terms of multisectoral coordination. However, in terms of livelihood strategies, recipients are divided into groups with passive consumption patterns and active diversification through small businesses or agriculture. These conditions present highly varied livelihood outcomes, with some experiencing economic recovery, improved welfare, and human resource quality, while others are trapped in financial dependence and consumptive lifestyles. This study confirms that PKH policy formulation needs to prioritize sustainability, which can be achieved through the integration of financial literacy, consistent institutional support, and cross-sector collaboration.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the economic resilience of embroidery artisans in North Aceh Regency and to develop an evidence-based policy framework tailored to local needs. The research employed a concurrent mixed-methods approach by integrating quantitative and qualitative data collected through semi-structured questionnaires administered to 110 embroidery artisans in Muara Batu District. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative responses were examined through thematic coding. The findings reveal that, overall, the artisans’ economic resilience falls within the moderate category, with an average score of 2.69 on a four-point scale. Two dimensions, namely business capacity and household economic resilience, remain at a moderate level, whereas access to capital and technology, as well as institutional networks, appear relatively stronger. The results also highlight vulnerabilities in income stability, emergency savings, and limited access to financing and business training. On the other hand, artisans demonstrate notable strengths in product innovation, digital marketing adoption, and openness to customer feedback. Based on these results, the study emphasizes the importance of strengthening community institutions, expanding access to financial resources, promoting digital-based marketing, and fostering multi-stakeholder collaboration as key strategies to enhance economic resilience. This research contributes by providing empirical evidence that can serve as a foundation for formulating evidence-based policies in the craft sector, thereby ensuring that interventions are more contextual, adaptive, and sustainable.
