Abstract

This research examines the political and economic dynamics of Italy and Indonesia in relation to their engagement with China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Drawing from the theoretical tradition of state instrumentalism and recent conceptualisations of the “infrastructure state” as an emerging global phenomenon, we argue that initiatives such as the BRI do serve the purposes of political elites in both the developing and developed world. The comparative analysis between the two dissimilar countries, Italy and Indonesia, reveals the existence of a broader global trend. Both experience democratic backsliding while strategically engaging with the BRI to meet their infrastructural needs and political objectives. This study contributes to understanding how domestic political dynamics and external economic opportunities intersect in shaping the developmental trajectories of middle-power states within the global geopolitical landscape.

Abstract

This study examines the claim that the benefits of good corporate governance (GCG) extend to all stakeholders, with a specific focus on the advantages for workers during operational processes. Conceptually, GCG connects all stakeholders by following its principles, without addressing power imbalances that arise from stakeholder class differences. This research highlights an underexplored aspect of GCG literature: power asymmetries among internal stakeholders, specifically the relationship between business owners and their workers. This study employs a multiple case study approach, drawing on in-depth interviews with 30 informants and document analysis of station records, regulatory frameworks, and prior studies, focusing on Pertamina petrol stations managed by Pertamina Patra Niaga and Pertamina Retail, which received “good” and “excellent” GCG ratings in 2023. The analysis of four petrol stations—operated either directly by Pertamina Retail or by private partners under Pertamina Patra Niaga—reveals that exploitative labour arrangements and substandard working conditions persist despite the formal implementation of GCG principles. These findings underscore that, in the absence of measures to address structural power asymmetries among stakeholders, the benefits of GCG are disproportionately captured by dominant actors, particularly capital owners within the corporate hierarchy.

Abstract

Clientelism is a dangerous practice for democratic countries as it exploits poverty for elections. Despite the risks associated with clientelism, political actors in various countries continue to engage in it in election campaigns to win political contests. This study aims to understand voter behaviour and clientelism in the 2024 Indonesian presidential election. The study focuses on the use of the government's social assistance in “election campaigns” and how it impacts voter behaviour. This study uses mixed methods, quantitative surveys before the 2024 presidential election, and qualitative analysis, especially content analysis of documents in online media. The study revealed that clientelism in the form of social assistance impacts voter behaviour. The findings also show four critical factors: the timing of the distribution of social assistance, direct distribution of social assistance by the president, the current economic condition of the community, and the form of social assistance in cash and basic needs. The study contributes to the theory of voter behaviour by shaping voter behaviour outside the aspect of the voter, such as economic factors. Empirically, this research is also helpful for improving the regulations or laws of general elections in Indonesia, which can improve the governance of social assistance to avoid being used as a means of campaigning by incumbent officials.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the creation of new cultural constructs and examine the evolving role of local leaders across ethnic groups to address potential conflict in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Data were collected using a phenomenological approach through document analysis, interviews, and observations. The results showed the pivotal role of novel perspectives in alleviating ethnic tensions, which prompted leaders to establish the Red White Association (Perkumpulan Merah Putih – PMP) as an innovative platform dedicated to protection, mediation, and sustainable peacebuilding initiatives. At the grassroots level, this association was instrumental in fostering mutual trust among ethnic communities, mitigating tribal stereotyping that could escalate into communal conflict. Meanwhile, at the elite level, the association prevents power-triggered political contestation that may lead to ethnic politicisation. This growing cultural movement, spearheaded by local leaders, promoted understanding and countered detrimental stereotypes and stigmatisation in the local populace. In conclusion, the PMP role should include a proactive stance in preventing the rise of communal conflict narratives that might incite collective action among local tribes. This represents a significant advancement toward a more comprehensive peacebuilding approach beyond rhetorical commitments to strengthen local community bonds.

Abstract

This study critically examines how former members of the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) transformed their collective social identity into political and economic capital in post-conflict Aceh. Drawing on social identity theory (SIT) and sociocognitive processes, it challenges prevailing reintegration narratives that emphasise disassociation from militant pasts. Instead, it finds that former GAM members deliberately retained and mobilised their rebel identity to gain legitimacy, patronage, and access to state resources. The study identifies three internal identity trajectories: the “ruling group", which converted its identity into formal political power; the “contractor group”, which leveraged political ties to access state-funded economic projects; and the “common society group”, which remained socially and economically marginalised. This stratification reveals that identity transformation does not uniformly lead to welfare gains. While existing studies often frame ex-combatant reintegration as a linear transition toward civilian life, this study argues that identity retention—rather than abandonment—can be a strategic pathway to upward mobility. However, this process is uneven. Enabling factors, such as provisions within the Helsinki Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), the institutional structure of the Aceh Transition Committee (KPA), and the symbolic value of the GAM identity, supported elite access. In contrast, constraining factors, including limited economic diversification, dependency on political patronage, and exclusionary practices, prevented broader benefit-sharing among lower-tier members. By exposing the unequal outcomes of identity-based transformation, this study critiques assumptions of uniform reintegration success and offers a differentiated lens for understanding post-conflict access and inequality.

Abstract

Despite the green energy transition efforts accelerating geothermal energy development, geothermal mining throughout Indonesia has encountered significant community resistance due to the detrimental environmental impacts. In Indonesia, the resistance movement that became the community’s tool for advocating policy failed to achieve its aims most of the time. Using the case study of geothermal mining in Dieng and its Dieng 2 expansion project, this study examines why community resistance as a means of policy advocacy remains ineffective in addressing community interests. Through field observations, semi-structured in-depth interviews, and a literature review, this study found that the key internal and external factors contributing to the ineffectiveness of policy advocacy are poor coalition solidity due to socio-economic dependency on the corporations, as well as an impaired democratic decision-making process. While other studies assume that community resistance emerges from shared values and interests, this study found that community resistance extends beyond the dichotomy of corporations against local communities, as the community itself cannot be considered a monolithic coalition with uniform beliefs or equal material interests. Blurring the dynamics inside a coalition can hinder what this study has found: the significance of the coalition's solidity for the success of community resistance.

Abstract

Using a qualitative case study approach conducted from May 2020 to August 2021, this study investigates how traditional markets, namely the Sambilegi and Kolombo markets, work with digitalisation in Indonesia. It focuses on collective-based digital initiatives in terms of their implementation and sustainability amid increasing competition with modern e-commerce platforms. Within the broader context of Indonesia's economic development, the informal economy that is strongly dominated by micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) remains crucial for national growth. Findings from observations and field interviews with market stakeholders show that the influence of social capital is twofold; while it can strengthen transformation through shared commitment and collaboration, it can also hinder progress and innovation among stakeholders in traditional markets. Furthermore, the sustainability of collective-based digitalisation faces challenges when met with limited digital literacy, insufficient motivation, and inconsistent mentorship programmes. The study concludes that capacity-building and persistent institutional support, as well as a robust governance framework, have the potential to ensure long-term success in digitalising traditional markets. The study extends an understanding of how social capital ushers in digital transformation, along with strategies to sustain it within the Indonesian traditional market context.

Abstract

In Thailand, community-based long-term care (LTC) for all Thai dependent older persons has been implemented under the Universal Coverage Scheme since 2016. This study aims to investigate the burden experienced by family caregivers looking after dependent older persons under community-based LTC in Nakhon Pathom Province, Thailand. The data were obtained from a questionnaire survey completed by 313 family caregivers benefitting from community-based LTC in Nakhon Pathom Province. The findings show that community-based LTC could partially alleviate the financial burden related to disposable products and medical equipment expenses, but it has not helped much with time-related burden. Additionally, the services were below the standard outlined in the benefit package guidelines, particularly in terms of the duration and frequency of visits. The findings highlight the need to enhance the quality of services and adopt a targeted approach for the distribution of disposable products and medical equipment to reduce the burden on family caregivers, especially those with lower incomes. This study provides lessons from Thailand’s experience that may apply to other developing countries in Asia facing challenges from ageing societies, informing the establishment of similar community-based LTC systems.
