NARRATIVE OF IDENTITY POLITICS IN THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS OF THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA: CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS
No full textObjective: This research investigates the effects of social media on the quality and functioning of democracy in Indonesia, especially in relation to the 2017 DKI Governor Election and the upcoming 2024 presidential election. Social media is a vital platform for political participation, mobilization and expression, as it enables citizens to access information, voice their opinions and engage with diverse perspectives. However, social media also poses risks and challenges for democracy, as it can be used to manipulate public opinion, spread misinformation and incite violence.
Theoritical framework: The influence of negative campaigns on voting behavior and political participation has also been a focus of research, with studies analyzing the impact of campaign narratives and media attention on election outcomes. In this context, many studies have highlighted how campaigns dominated by negative narratives can influence voters' opinions and attitudes. Negative campaigns tend to focus attention on the weaknesses and defects of political opponents, often leading to polarization and dissatisfaction with the political process as a whole. Apart from that, the role of the media in strengthening or balancing the campaign narrative is also an important aspect to be researched. The mass media has great power in strengthening the narratives conveyed by candidates and political parties through the coverage, analysis and opinions they convey to the public. In this case, media attention to certain campaign narratives can influence voter perceptions and preferences.
Methods: The research examines how social media was used by different political actors and groups to support or oppose Anies Baswedan, who was a candidate for the governor of DKI Jakarta in 2017 and is now a presidential candidate backed by the Nasdem Party, PKB and PKS. The research also analyzes the impact of social media on the political culture and values of the Indonesian society, as well as the opportunities and limitations for enhancing democratic accountability and transparency through social media. The data collection methods include interviews, document analysis and internet-based sources and social media from 2016 to 2017
Result & Conclusion: The research findings show that social media has both positive and negative effects on democracy, as it can foster civic engagement, deliberation and pluralism, but also create polarization, distrust and intolerance. Social media is the third most popular medium for spreading campaign content, after television and newspapers. The campaign content in the 2017 DKI Governor election was then used in a national context to undermine Anies Baswedan as a presidential candidate, who was backed by the Nasdem Party and PKB, who were his political adversaries in the 2017 DKI Jakarta Governor election.
Research Implications: Highlights the importance of responsible social media strategies to support democracy, recommending enhanced digital literacy and content regulation.
Originality/Value: Provides a unique analysis of the impact of social media on political elections in Indonesia, offering insights into changing campaign strategies and socio-political interactions

THE PROHIBITION OF CLAIM SUIT AND ITS PROCEDURAL EFFECT ON CUSTOMS DUTIES AND FINES IN THE JORDANIAN CUSTOMS LAW
No full textObjectives: The objective of this study is to investigate the conditions under which individuals can file a prohibition of claim suit against customs duties and fines that they believe are unjustly demanded. Specifically, the study aims to identify the legal conditions and prescription periods associated with such suits, considering contradictory decisions by the Court of Cassation.
Methods: To achieve the stated objectives, this study employs a legal research approach. It involves a thorough examination of relevant laws, regulations, and judicial decisions pertaining to customs duties and fines. Additionally, case studies and legal precedents are analyzed to understand the practical implications of filing prohibition of claim suits against customs demands.
Results: The analysis reveals several key findings regarding the conditions and prescription periods for prohibition of claim suits against customs duties and fines. The researcher concludes that the legislator allows recourse to the judiciary for such claims but imposes formal conditions, including the payment of a bail before filing the lawsuit. Furthermore, a prescription period of three years is specified for fines and duties. However, contradictory decisions by the Court of Cassation have led to uncertainty in this regard.
Conclusion: In conclusion, this study highlights the importance of clarifying the legal framework surrounding prohibition of claim suits against customs demands. The researcher recommends that the Jordanian legislator explicitly specify the conditions and prescription periods for such suits to fill existing legislative gaps and promote justice. By addressing these issues, the legal system can provide individuals with a clearer understanding of their rights and obligations regarding customs duties and fines, thereby ensuring fairness and accountability in customs enforcement procedures

GLOBAL PEACE AND SECURITY: CLIMATE CHANGE DEFINING THE NEW AGENDA FOR PEACE
No full textPurpose: Despite being a security risk, climate change is fundamentally more of a sustainable development issue. However, conflict management should now be incorporated into actions that adapt to and mitigate climate change. Such a cross-disciplinary approach could benefit both the environment and sustainable peace. This presents climate change as redefining and transforming the development and global security agenda. This study takes stock of the existing body of knowledge to identify knowledge gaps in the emergent and complex field of climate change, peace and security to inform policy.
Theoretical reference: It is informed by Human Forcings’ Besides Greenhouse Gas theory, which argues that human activities influence climate and not greenhouse gas emissions, which transform Earth’s surface through deforestation and land use.
Methods: The discursive methodology of policy analysis was used, highlighting how peace and security can be affected by climate change.
Results and conclusion: The double burden of conflict and climate considerations is usually absent in peacebuilding scholarship, while peacebuilding considerations are equally absent in climate security scholarship. Despite environmental peacebuilding’s potential to reconcile these research areas, it has yet to do so effectively.
Implications of the research: Livelihood security is crucial to how conflict risk is influenced by climate change and how security risks may be increased by climate change.
Originality/Value: The study shows how climate change exacerbates current risks and causes new security challenges like conflict, a preventable import of climate change through responding to its consequences
