The Discourse of the Capital City of Nusantara: Learn from President’s Tweets
Get PDFThis paper examines the construction and contextuality of the discourse on the Capital City of the Nusantara by President Joko Widodo's Twitter account. Focusing on the phenomenon of the relocation of the capital city with a discourse perspective can contribute to discussions about the operation of ideological power in power through political or governmental communication. Using the research method of critical discourse analysis, this paper finds that the discourse on the new State Capital is constructed through three stages of discourse, namely the study discourse, the strategic decision discourse, and the political economy consolidation discourse. While the context in the discourse is in three situations, namely the agenda engineering situation, the policy formulation situation, and the policy implementation situation. These three situations have tug-of-war at their respective moments and tend to create contradictions between one statement and another from President Joko Widodo about the new National Capital. However, the context of the discourse on the new State Capital by President Joko Widodo in this paper also tends to prove the arguments in previous writings, namely that President Joko Widodo is building a legacy strategically in ambitious ways

This research uses a constructive qualitative case study approach. Data collection was done by means of in-depth interviews with 35 participants from echelon two and echelon three officials in Kota Tidore Kepulauan, echelon three in the provincial government and echelons three and four in the central ministry. Our research exposes that the capacity of the local government of Kota Tidore Kepulauan in developing the transmigration area has not been maximized due to unhealthy local political dynamics because each change of regional head can affect the transfer and rotation of positions, the lack of funding sources so that the dependence on the budget from the central government is very high. In addition, cross-sectoral coordination did not go well because each agency still had sectoral ego even though transmigration affairs were not only the task of the transmigration technical service but were the affairs of the local government. Even, human resource support is still very limited, while the procurement of ASN (State Civil Apparatus) must obtain approval from the central government, so local governments are experiencing difficultiesThe aims of this study were to explore the capacity of local governments in developing transmigration areas in the decentralization era after the change in the transmigration paradigm from migration of the poor to the development of transmigration areas.

Human Trafficking Interventions (HTI): A Rapid Documentary Analysis of Central Asia Region’s (CAR) Efforts
Get PDFThe governments in the Central Asian Region (CAR), until recently, have failed to recognize the prevalence of human trafficking as a social and human rights problem. Even though the problem has persisted for a long time, there is almost non-existent empirical evidence on intervention approaches. Therefore, this study curates and synthesizes evidence on human trafficking interventions in CAR to open up academic conversations in this area. This study adopts the rapid documentary analysis approach as a starting point for further studies, drawing insights from the ecological systems theory to examine human trafficking interventions in CAR. The data is analyzed in line with thematic analysis procedures. Major themes representing overarching mechanisms used in the CAR to intervene in human trafficking situations include 1) awareness creation to expand knowledge on human trafficking 2) provision of shelter and psychosocial support 3) collaborations between different organizations and sectors and 4) tightening legislation. The findings suggest that while this study sets to open conversations about human trafficking interventions in Central Asia as the first study on human trafficking interventions, it is important to use other data curation methods to explore the extent of human trafficking interventions in the region which will fill any information gap this study might have missed.
