INTERNATIONAL SECURITY BASED ON THE UNITED STATES RESPONSE POST TO THE SOUTH CHINA SEA CLAIM BY THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA
Full text linkConflicts and tensions in the South China Sea are getting bigger after the People’s Republic of China claimed control over the Spratly and Paracel Islands and the waters that intersect with most of the countries in Southeast Asia. China’s efforts to place military forces on the two islands and the intensification of their ship patrols in the waters of the South China Sea indicate that China wants to strengthen its claims and hegemony, although of course these claims immediately receive a response from countries whose borders intersect in the South China Sea, mainly ASEAN member countries. This research used a descriptive qualitative research method. The source of the data for this research consists of secondary data which is gained from reports or media coverage that examine security issues in the South China Sea. Various data that have been obtained are then checked for validity through data validation techniques, where this technique carried out through triangulation of data or sources. As a superpower, the United States does not remain silent but participates in balancing security for countries that feel they are being claimed. Because what China has done is considered to have the potential to limit the rights and freedoms of the international community in using the waters in the South China Sea as their trade access, the United States and its allies who are members of AUKUS (Australia, United Kingdom, and the United States) are indeed pushing for the principle of freedom of navigation. On this basis, the United States took steps to address the problems and tensions in the South China Sea. The legal umbrella used by the United States is the same as that used by ASEAN countries, namely based on the 1982 United Nations Convention on the International Law of the Sea (UNCLOS 1982)
MEDIA DISCOURSE AND INTERNAL CONFLICT OF JAVANESE POWER IN YOGYAKARTA
Full text linkThis paper attempts to reveal how the local media, Kedaulatan Rakyat, produces discourse on the Yogyakarta palace’s internal conflict involving Sri Sultan Hamengku Buwono X and his siblings. The Special Region of Yogyakarta as a province in Indonesia has a special government system that is different from other regions. The governor of Yogyakarta is not elected by the people like in other regions in Indonesia but is determined by the DPRD based on who serves as the King of the Yogyakarta Palace. This phenomenon becomes interesting when there are differences of opinion among the people and within the Yogyakarta Palace regarding the acceptance of women leaders. The conflict began to arise when Sultan Hamengku Buwono X issued the Sabda Tama and Sabda Raja (Sabda Raja) which were interpreted as the Sultan’s way to pave the way for his daughter to become heir to the throne. The Sultan’s younger siblings opposed the female king to rule in Yogyakarta, so an internal conflict arose. The research method used is a qualitative method with a critical discourse analysis approach using the Norman Fairclough model to analyze news texts related to the Yogyakarta Palace’s internal conflict from the Kedaulatan Rakyat Daily. From the results of the research, it was found that the Kedaulatan Rakyat Daily produced discourses on internal conflict in the Yogyakarta palace by representing the ideology and interests of Sultan HB X’s younger siblings. This local daily newspaper also commodified internal conflict in the Yogyakarta palace as events that were produced and disseminated to the public for the benefits media economy
MARUF AMIN’S POLITICAL COMMUNICATION STRATEGY IN THE 2019 ELECTION CAMPAIGN: A LESSON FOR ANTI-HOAX POLITICS
Full text linkSocial media (Instagram) with embedded text in various forms of multimedia content have become an important battleground for politicians to place the relevance of their policies to the public during election campaigns. The narratives played by politicians in the digital space are aimed at securing the mass base and votes of supporters, while seeking early certainty of their victory. This study aims to analyze Maruf Amin’s political communication strategy in dealing with hoaxes in the 2019 Indonesian election campaign. In this study, the researchers used a qualitative method with a descriptive approach to analyze the data. Primary data were taken from interviews. Meanwhile, the secondary data ware from journal articles, books, news, report releases, and digital contents. The data analysis model used in this study is inductive analysis, an analytical model in qualitative research that does not depart from theoretical deductions but rather empirical facts. This article was prepared by applying research steps, starting with data collecting, data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. Results indicated that digital political communication strategies applied in campaigns against hoaxes can be seen from how the digital presence with the identity of politicians, authentic character, and having intellectual and social capital as ulama is indirectly attached to scientific authorities who are bound by responsibility for delivering scientific truth. In addition, another finding is that coherence and consistency in campaigns can play an important role in success against hoaxes. To conclude, anti-hoax narratives in elections are inevitable. In other words, it is political resources that are free to use at any time and ready to be used by politicians to reaffirm an agenda, neutralize an issue, instill new ideas about nationalism, and provide educational and literacy messages for the wider audience
PUBLIC DIPLOMACY OF INDONESIAN FILM AGENCY THROUGH FILM INDUSTRY AS INTERNATIONAL POLITICAL INSTRUMENTS
Full text linkPublic diplomacy is one of the instruments commonly used in international political activities. More precisely, public diplomacy discusses diplomatic activities carried out by state and non-state actors towards foreign publics in order to fulfill the interests of the relevant state. Various instruments can be used in public diplomacy activities such as books, television programs, brands, festivals, products, and films. In fact, information obtained by the public regarding a country comes from non-government actors. If uncontrolled, information circulating, especially from non-government actors, can cause problems for the national interest of a country. The problem is related to the influence of information on the image of the country in question. As stated by Leonard (2002) that the ideal public diplomacy activity can be formed if there is a synergistic effort between government and non-government actors. This study seeks to discuss public diplomacy activities that use the film industry as an instrument. The actor chosen as the main object in this research is the Indonesian Film Agency (BPI). This study will use the theory of public diplomacy developed by Mark Leonard with descriptive qualitative research methods. The data collection method used in this research is through interviews and literature studies through various sources, both primary and secondary. In general, this research will provide an overview of the understanding of Mark Leonard’s theory of public diplomacy based on what has been done by BPI. In the end, this understanding will show the gap between theory and reality regarding Indonesian public diplomacy activities that use the film industry as an instrument. When referring to Leonard’s theory of public diplomacy, BPI has the potential to produce an ideal public diplomacy effort. Therefore, efforts to build a more integrated relationship between BPI and the Indonesian government are deemed necessary in order to maximize the role of BPI as both an actor in public diplomacy
PERILAKU MEMILIH DALAM MASYARAKAT MULTIKULTUR: STUDI KASUS PEMILIHAN WALIKOTA MEDAN 2020
Full text linkArtikel ini menjelaskan tentang bagaimana perilaku memilih masyarakat dalam Pemilihan Wali Kota Medan Tahun 2020. Studi ini mengunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus, sumber data utama dari hasil survei perilaku memilih dan wawancara mendalam. Artikel ini menunjukkan bahwa perilaku memilih yang paling dominan pada masyarakat Medan ialah model sosiologis, yakni perilaku pemilih yang didasarkan pada preferensi sosiologis masyarakat. Faktor utamanya ialah disumbang oleh preferensi agama, etnis, maupun gender. Pemilih sosiologis tercatat dalam angka survey adalah sebesar 43,1%. Sedangkan pemilih rasional juga muncul, namun tidak sebesar pemilih sosiologis, yaitu pada persentase sebesar 36,8%. Demikian juga dengan pemilih psikologis yang jumlahnya hanya sekitar 10,8%. Kuatnya perilaku memilih sosiologis ini, kami menilai dipengaruhi salah satunya oleh narasi politik identitas yang sudah muncul dalam momen pemilihan sebelumnya, yakni Pemilihan Gubernur DKI Jakarta 2017, Pemilihan Gubernur Sumatera Utara 2018, dan Pemilihan Presiden 2019. Narasi politik identias ini ikut menyumbang terhadap menguatnya pertimbangan agama dalam perilaku pemilih di Kota Medan
DEMOKRASI DELIBERATIF DALAM OPEN GOVERNMENT (STUDI KASUS DI KOTA SEMARANG TAHUN 2018-2019)
Full text linkABSTRAK. Antara demokrasi delibertif dengan open government sebenarnya mempunyai relasi interaktif. Demokrasi deliberatif berpotensi merevitalisasi open government agar tidak hanya terjebak pada pembukaan data publik di kanal-kanal digital pemerintah. Sementara itu, open government dapat lebih merasionalisasikan gagasan demokrasi deliberatif di masyarakat kontemporer dengan sistem teknologi digital. Penelitian ini hendak menganalisis, bagaimana praktik demokrasi deliberatif dalam implementasi open government di Kota Semarang tahun 2018-2019. Peneliti menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan pengumpulan data melalui wawancara dan dokumentasi. Penelitian ini menemukan, bahwa praktik demokrasi deliberatif dalam implementasi open government tahun 2018-2019 dilakukan lewat beragam aktivitas deliberasi pada ruang publik fisik dan virtual. Namun, praktik demokrasi deliberatif antara pemerintah dengan masyarakat sebagian besar belum sampai pada tataran pengambilan keputusan deliberatif. Sebagai simpulan, open government terbukti mendukung praktik demokrasi deliberatif melalui berbagai program dan sistem teknologi digital yang memungkinkan proses deliberasi pada ruang publik fisik serta virtual. Meskipun demikian, syarat-syarat deliberasi dan ruang publik ideal dalam praktik demokrasi deliberatif belum semuanya terpenuhi secara komprehensif
PERTARUNGAN DISKURSIF ISLAM POLITIK DALAM WACANA PENERAPAN SYARIAT ISLAM PASCA ORDE BARU
Full text linkIslam politik pasca Orde Baru semakin menunjukkan sepak terjang dengan beragam artikulasi gagasan. Tak jarang artikulasi gagasan antar partikularitas Islam politik itu saling bertolak belakang, termasuk pemaknaan mereka dalam mengimplementasikan syariat Islam. Untuk melihat kenyataan itu, tulisan ini berupaya menjelaskan pertarungan diskursif partikularitas Islam politik dalam penerapan syariat Islam. Islam politik ini mengacu pada Islamisme, Islam liberal, dan Islam progresif yang berperan sebagai subjek politik. Dalam mencapai tujuan itu, penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan teori diskursus yang dikembangkan dalam tradisi post-marxisme. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan varian Islam politik memiliki perspektif yang berbeda dalam mengartikulasikan pemaknaan dan tuntutan penerapan syariat Islam, bahkan pada taraf yang lain saling menegasikan. Hal ini menegaskan bahwa dimensi logic of difference-nya lebih kuat, sehingga tak memungkinkan adanya subjek hegemonik

Dari aspek kepercayaan santri kepada kiai, santri dikategorikan sebagai santri patuh mutlak dan santri patuh semu. Di Pondok Pesantren Terpadu Ushuluddin, aspek sosiologis, psikologis dan pilihan rasional tidak berperan secara efektif. Santri dikategorikan sebagai santri prismatik yaitu santri tidak menjadikan kiai sebagai referensi dalam menjatuhkan pilihan politik. Dua pondok pesantren yang dijadikan lokasi penelitian ini menunjukkan aspek yang berbeda; pesantren tradisional dan modern, sehingga aspek-aspek yang di temukan sebagai hasil penelitian juga berbeda
TINDAKAN KOMUNIKATIF KOMUNITAS VIRTUAL UNTUK MENGURANGI DISINFORMASI PEMBERITAAN POLITIK DI MEDIA SOSIAL
Full text linkAbstractThis paper is part of the research results that reveal the communicative action by the virtual community Forum Anti Fitnah Hasut dan Hoax (FAFHH) on Facebook to reduce disinformation on social media as a new public sphere. This paper is viewed from the perspective of the Theory of Communicative Action initiated by Jurgen Habermas. Habermas's idea is very important for this paper because it offers a broader framework for understanding social media as a public sphere. It is also to understand how individuals or communities seek to achieve common understanding within groups to promote cooperation, not just to achieve personal goals. This paper uses a critical, qualitative paradigm with a virtual ethnographic method. Data collection was carried out by observing participants in virtual communities FAFHH on Facebook. In addition to observations, the author also conducted in-depth interviews with virtual community managers (admins and moderators). The results of this study indicate that the FAFHH virtual community has fulfilled the requirements as a public sphere. In addition, the FAFHH virtual community has also fulfilled the validity claim in communicative actions.Keywords: disinformation, virtual community, social media, communicative action, public sphere
POLITICAL ECONOMY OF REMITTANCES OF INDONESIAN MIGRANT DOMESTIC WORKERS IN HONG KONG DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Full text linkThe Covid-19 pandemic has changed all aspects of people’s lives around the world, including remittances. Interestingly, Bank Indonesia in 2020 stated that remittances, the majority of which came from migrant domestic workers, from Hong Kong tended to be stable. This study uses a political economy approach to see how several economic and political factors affect the stability of the remittances of Indonesian migrant domestic workers in Hong Kong. This study uses the theory from Dilip Ratha (2003) regarding the stability of remittances during the economic crisis, where there are two factors, namely (1) the presence of automatic stabilizers in migrant worker receiving countries and (2) the ease of remittance financial infrastructure. This study uses qualitative data collection methods to reveal the empirical reality experienced by domestic workers from Indonesia in Hong Kong. As a result, there is a relevance of the financial infrastructure factor for remittances to the experience in Hong Kong during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study found several other factors that were not proposed by Ratha, namely the struggle of migrant workers unions in Hong Kong to respond to the crisis period and the existence of politics of surviving. This politics of surviving is similar to the concept of ‘double movement’ from Karl Polanyi (2001). This factor together with two other factors is cause of the stability of remittances to Indonesia. Comparison with other countries will also show other factors that cause remittances remain stable during the Covid-19 pandemic
