Abstract

The renewed pursuit of special status for Surakarta within Indonesia’s symbolic decentralization reflects the demand for recognition based on historical context, cultural identity, and symbolic legitimacy. This research examines how historical narratives and cultural identity are used as political strategies to support claims for special regional status, drawing on political symbolism and social identity theories. Using a qualitative case study approach, the analysis reviews regulations, academic literature, national media, and public responses on digital platforms. The findings show that symbols and historical narratives have not yet aligned, mainly due to weak connections between local and institutional actors and negative portrayals of the palace elite. Consequently, the main challenges are not only symbolic but also structural, regulatory, and political, which limit the translation of historical legitimacy into policy support. This study concludes and highlights the critical role of political symbolism, collective identity, public opinion, and legal frameworks in developing inclusive policies. However, today’s governance systems focus on administrative aspects rather than historical and symbolic considerations.

Abstract

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) emphasize institutional governance and human development as key components. This study examines how organizational justice, organizational politics, and work commitment influence human development in Kendari City, specifically focusing on sustainability and SDGs. A combination of quantitative and qualitative methods was used to answer the research questions of this study. Quantitative analysis was conducted using data from a government employee survey and human development indicators (HDI, per capita income, unemployment rate, and GDP growth), while qualitative analysis relied on in-depth interviews and document reviews to identify organizational and cultural factors. The findings indicate that workplace justice enhances individual capabilities and community well-being, while politically flexible organizations enhance institutional effectiveness and community participation in democracy and work commitment. Local cultural norms, such as reciprocity, foster solidarity and community engagement. The implications for public administration examine how institutional design, organizational culture, and global citizenship values play a key role in development success.

Abstract

This study evaluates the role of gender empowerment measures in improving the performance, sustainability, and social acceptance of Islamic Financial Institutions (IFIs) across different cultural and regulatory environments. This study aims to understand the impact of gender diversification tactics on IFI profitability, identify the best Islamic financial products aimed at increasing women’s involvement, identify cross-country differences in the performance of these measures, understand the challenges and opportunities for promoting gender equality in Islamic finance. This study uses CNCCA to analyze IFIs across countries. A total of 89 secondary sources, including institutional reports and peer-reviewed studies, were used. The study finds that inclusive models such as Cash Waqf-Musharakah, Qardhul Ḥasan for Women, Women-Centered Crowdfunding, and Women in Leadership have a positive impact on profitability, institutional legitimacy, and social stability. The use of technology and flexible Sharia contracts also improves operational efficiency, risk management, and access to productive financing. Adaptations are context-specific: Southeast Asia leads in digital micro-inclusion, the Middle East emphasizes regulatory support, and sub-Saharan Africa benefits from a hybrid zakat-wakf model. In conclusion, theoretically linking Islamic economics to gender empowerment and regional development, while practically offering evidence based strategies for policymakers and Islamic financial institutions to support SDGs, is important.

Abstract

Migration has created a strong connection between Nigeria and the UK because of their historical ties rooted in colonialism. Following the UK’s departure from the EU, the significance of migration has become even greater, as the two nations have used it as a diplomatic tool. This paper investigates the importance of migration as a diplomatic instrument in Nigeria’s relations with the UK following the UK’s exit from the EU. The study employed a qualitative research design. The analysis reveals that changes to the British immigration system have created opportunities for Nigerian migrants, while demonstrating the UK’s desire to maintain control over its borders and the labor market. The findings indicate that migration has become a significant instrument of international diplomacy, as both parties have developed official procedures for handling immigration issues under the Migration Partnership and the Enhanced Trade and Investment Partnership agreements. The conclusion of this study shows that although both agreements link migration to a development framework, asymmetrical relations remain evident, thereby constraining Nigeria’s negotiating capacity.

Abstract

Global digitalization is driving changes in e-government, forcing governments to adapt to society’s evolving needs. This study analyses e-government research conducted through bibliometric methods, with publications in the Scopus database from 2020–2025. The research methodology involves a literature analysis using VOSviewer software to illustrate the relationship between themes, authors, affiliations, and research patterns. The findings indicate that the number of e-government publications fluctuated, with the highest amplitude in 2022, and was dominated by social sciences at 55%. The main participants were Aswar K., Androniceanu A., and Georgescu I., as well as the University of Economic Studies Bucharest, Riau University, and UPN Veteran Jakarta. Digital transmission, technological literacy, public participation, transparency, and corruption were among the trending topics. Furthermore, Denmark ranked first based on the e-Government Development Index (EGDI), with an average of 0.97741. These results verify that the dynamics of e-government depend on policy aspects, digital infrastructure, and human resource capacity. The study also recommends that the government strengthen inclusive policies, improve digital literacy, and build infrastructure and a smart workforce for sustainable digital transformation.

Abstract

This article explores the relationship between populism and socio-political cleavages in the post-socialist democracies of Central Europe, using Slovakia as a case study. This study is based on the assumption that classical cleavages are no longer sufficient to explain contemporary party competition; therefore, the focus is placed on new situational lines of division that create opportunities for various forms of populism. This study aims to analyze the impact of situational socio-political cleavages on the variation in populist forms in Slovakia and identify the political actors that most clearly represent these divisions. Methodologically, the research combines an analytical case study with a discursive analysis of program documents and political rhetoric, supported by empirical datasets to assess the intensity and typology of populism. The findings demonstrate that situational cleavages catalyze populist mobilization driven by short-term crisis triggers. In this context, personalist, anti-corruption, anti-immigration, and sovereigntist–Eurosceptic divisions are identified, each activating a corresponding type of populism. The study shows that the Slovak case represents a Central European configuration of situational cleavages that shape the types, dynamics, and institutional consequences of populism in the country. This study concluded that such divisions function as key mechanisms of populist political mobilization.

Abstract

This study explores how Netflix, as a digital platform, changes cultural narratives and engages with local identities in Japan and South Korea. It also attempts to comprehend the novel equilibrium between algorithmic supervision and world market opportunities, with an emphasis on repositioning cultural representation as an example of the structural injustices reproduced by the platform. The juxtaposition of Netflix as an economic player and an actor actively participating in the phenomena of identity formation through global market logics is demonstrated by the qualitative data and case studies. It is postulated that increased Korean and Japanese global market representation, by means of identity construction into marketable pieces of informative data, fosters consumerism, paradoxically unidirectional, and agency-attenuating, of a new kind of dependency on Western platforms. The capitalism of a neoliberal global market is hypothesized to be further calculated and enacted by Netflix through its regional productions and alliances, with a new form of net neo-digital colonialism. The complex interplay of algorithmic supervision and structural inequities is an ineluctable reality of digital capitalism, with idiolect equity and legitimacy as the basis. The implications of the findings suggest an extended discourse encompassing digital decolonization and identity restoration.

Abstract

Moral narratives are defined as publicly endorsed narratives of moral appeasement and civic conscience that help citizens evaluate political leaders. This research focuses on how narratives about the moral legitimacy of local democracy can affect civic trust in and support for electoral legitimacy. Employing a qualitative case study method in the City of Cirebon, West Java, this study centers on a legislative candidate whose electoral legitimacy was largely based on moral and religio-moral transformation narratives. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with seven informants selected purposively, including the elected legislative candidate himself, one leader of the candidate’s campaign team, and five ordinary people from the community who had exposure to the candidate’s social engagement program. The results of this research show that civic trust was produced less by vote-buying or material incentive appeals and programmatic appeals but more by the notions of morality associated with consistency, social accessibility, and persistent programs for local citizens. Moral narratives were symbolic resources to shore up public trust and gain electoral legitimacy. The study concludes that electoral legitimacy in local democracy is socially constructed through the interaction between moral narratives, relational trust, and everyday community networks.

Abstract

This study examines the moderating role of e-learning technologies in the relationship between academic brain drain and student performance in Nigeria’s higher education. Quantitative research methods were used with an exploratory research design. Three hundred respondents were selected from three NUC-accredited institutions (University of Lagos, Lagos State University, and Covenant University). The Universities were chosen for their commitment to e-learning infrastructure. Through a multistage sampling procedure, the collected data were analyzed using path analysis (PA), which was implemented within structural equation modelling (SEM). The study reveals a significant negative relationship between the academic brain drain and university students’ academic performance due to the migration of the academic staff. Four forms of e-learning technology, namely video conferencing tools (VCT), digital libraries (DL), learning management systems (LMS), and online assessments (OA), in which VCT recorded the highest impact, were discovered to moderate between academic brain drain and student performance in Nigerian Higher Education institutions. This study concluded that, of the four forms of e-learning technology, it helps to align students’ academic progress in terms of exam results, cumulative GPAS, teaching results, learning outcomes, and successful completion of their courses, while their presence online increases a higher level of e-learning facility and training of faculty with digital teaching tools.

Abstract

Masoud Pezeshkian’s victory in the 2024 Iranian elections ended the conservative group’s dominance of the executive branch. This study analyzes the challenges of bridging the gap between reformism and conservatism in Iran’s political system. This research uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach. The theory of party ideology and political compromise serves as its theoretical framework. The results show that Pezeshkian’s political compromise tends to be intersectional and conjunctional, avoiding potential conflict by ignoring controversial matters and integrating various conflicting principles, especially in ideological views. This pattern is reflected in his relations with conservative nationalists, particularly in managing relations with Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, and parliament. These findings suggest that political compromise serves as a pragmatic strategy for maintaining government stability, despite significant structural limitations. Theoretically, this study contributes to the development of compromise-diplomatic political strategy. Practically, this strategy can serve as a guideline for political actors in building and evaluating the political ecosystem in a religious-hybrid authoritarian state, such as Iran.
