Abstract

This study examines the regional security dimension of the India-China water dispute over the Brahmaputra in South Asia. It also seeks to understand how China is considered part of South Asia rather than an outsider. Drawing on theories of hydro-politics, realism, liberalism, and regional security complexes, this article investigates whether the water dispute is merely an extension of the border conflict or a manifestation of deeper, structural rivalries. Additionally, it explores the hegemonic tendencies exhibited by both nations as upper riparian states. A qualitative approach has been employed to gather and analyse the data. The findings of this study indicate that the water dispute has disturbed the peace and stability of South Asia. It also finds that China is part of South Asia owing to its geographical location and colonial history. The study concludes that, although the risk of large-scale warfare remains low, effective collaboration is vital for regional stability. This study recommends that India and China should collaborate to resolve their border and water disputes.

Abstract

The province of Gorontalo, Indonesia, has long been a destination for diverse ethnic groups arriving through maritime trade. Though often mentioned in articles and official sources as one of key contributors to the archipelagic spice route, no research has identified Gorontalo as a spice-producing region. Moreover, the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture has a long-term national program called, “Jalur Rempah,” which includes several maritime route points including the Gorontalo spice route. Thus, this study sought to discover why Gorontalo served as an important node on the spice route leading to how Islamic encounters and cross-cultural exchanges shaped its society. Using qualitative methods including in-depth interviews, observation, and literature review with historical and synchronic approaches, this research found that Gorontalo’s spice route functioned not only as a channel for commodities but also for ideological and cultural exchange. In this case, Islamic kingdoms such as Ternate, Gowa, and Bone played vital roles in spreading Islamic teachings. Moreover, Gorontalo’s cultural arts evolved under the influence of religion and foreign cultures, reflecting the region’s openness and deep respect for guests. From these characteristics, this study demonstrates Gorontalo’s unique adaptability to global interactions along the spice route and contributes to reinforcing the recognition of the spice route as a world cultural heritage.

Abstract

This study critically examines how the discourse of megathrust earthquake threat in Java, Indonesia, is constructed and circulated by CNBC Indonesia’s online news coverage. Given Indonesia is extremely vulnerable to the earthquake, this study explores how fear narratives are constructed and disseminated, revealing a discursive landscape for signaling panic, uncertainty and technocratic authority. Employing Van Dijk’s social cognition framework and Deleuze’s rhizomatic theory, the research reveals how information about the megathrust danger multiplied in fragmented, nonlinear ways that created dispersed nodes of public anxiety. The findings indicate that the media’s use of apocalyptic rhetoric and sensationalist framing transforms scientific caution into a hyperreal spectacle, distorting the actual meanings of official statements from The Meteorology-Climatology, Geophysics Agency and producing public “Panic Territories.” This distortion sustains the dominance of expert-driven discourse whilst marginalizing local community knowledge and active public participation. The study argues for a more reflective and participatory model of disaster journalism that emphasizes public preparedness, psychological resilience, critical literacy, and inclusive communication practices. By shifting disaster narratives away from fear based clickbait toward empowerment and preparedness, media can serve as agents of social learning and collective safety rather than amplifiers of panic.

Abstract

Although the overall electoral support for Muslim-based parties in Indonesia has been relatively stable since the Reformasi, the 2024 election represents a critical moment in which the PPP failed to pass the parliamentary threshold. This divergence raises the question: why did PPP break down while other major Muslim-based parties (PKS, PKB, PAN) persisted? Employing a qualitative comparative approach, this paper contends that electoral performance is shaped by the constitutive interplay of governance capacity and strategic adaptation. We show that PKS pursues bounded adaptation and relies on relatively high governance capacity to maintain loyalty among its core constituencies; PKB mixes established governance with high strategic adaptation in order to use NU based networks and presidential coattail effects; and PAN pairs relatively high governance capacity and aggressive demographic segmentation. By contrast, the demise of PPP is attributed to low or incoherent governance capacity, which renders its adaptive strategy sporadic and lacking credibility. Theoretically, this article shifts the analytical focus from static party institutionalization to dynamic organizational capability. It also argues that religious identity becomes an electoral asset when it is managed through a balance between internal governance and adaptation, with institutions strong enough to withstand the shocks of strategic pragmatism.
