Full text linkAbstract
This study presents a bibliometric analysis of political research published in Interdisciplinary Political Studies from 2017 to 2024, as indexed by Scopus. Using VOSviewer software, it maps key themes, research trends, and scholarly clusters within the journal's publications. The findings highlight the journal’s contributions to the broader field of political studies while identifying gaps in its coverage of contemporary issues. Notably, the study observes a limited focus on evolving citizen political attitudes and preferences in the context of new media. By providing a baseline assessment, this study enables Interdisciplinary Political Studies to strategically address these gaps, strengthening its position as a leading platform for innovative and impactful political research, particularly in response to the challenges and opportunities of the digital age
Festival as Cultural Diplomacy: Kurultáj and Its Implementation in Hungary
Full text linkDiplomatic endeavours encompass a range of strategies, including the organisation of cultural festivals, which serve not only as a means of engaging a broader audience but also as platforms for expressing a nation's identity. One notable example is the Kurultáj festival, which took place in Hungary under the auspices of the Magyar Turán AlapÃtvány. This festival exemplifies the practice of cultural diplomacy, attracting participation from various Central Asian nations. Through cultural diplomacy, participating countries aim to promote their respective national interests within the framework of the Kurultáj festival. This article examines the implementation of the Kurultáj festival between 2008 and 2022, focusing specifically on its association with neo-propagandist cultural diplomacy. It argues that the Kurultáj festival cannot be solely categorised as a manifestation of neo-propagandist cultural diplomacy
Economic Resistance of Sub-National Governments in Mitigating Inflation Risk: The Case of Bela Beli Kulon Progo Movement
Full text linkPolitical decentralization has brought great changes in the form of challenges and opportunities. In the context of the challenges of decentralization, it requires regions to clean up, organize, and fix regional problems. However, it must be used as an instrument to solve economic problems, one of which is inflation in the regions. Kulon Progo Regency is one of the role models that has an economic instrument in mitigating the risk of inflation. This arrangement is stated in the Bela Beli Kulon Progo policy. This policy uses an approach to strengthen the local economy so that it can stimulate the growth of people's per capita income. This study examines these issues using a qualitative approach with library research methods. It uses the theory proposed by the decentralization and inflation approach proposed by Treisman. The results show that strengthening the local economy had the power to mitigate the risk of inflation in regions. The strengthening of the local economy was seen in the increasing level of people's income and regional income which resulted in stronger economic growth. However, inflation is a serious threat to the regional economy if people's incomes are fixed and there is economic instability. Bela Beli Kulon Progo movement improved the local economy of Kulon Progo. Various programs of Bela Beli became the basis for the strong economic support of the district so that inflation could be controlled. On this basis, the movement becomes an instrument as well as a role model in mitigating the risk of regional inflation. This study, therefore, contributes to the study of local movement and inflation in the regional contexts
Political Participation of Persons with Disabilities in Election: The Case of Regional Elections in Bantul, Indonesia
Full text linkThis article analyzes the involvement of disability groups in the regional election and how this will contribute to the upcoming 2024 General Election in Indonesia.

The findings show several forms of involvement of disability groups in the previous elections in 2019 and 2020. The deficiencies in these elections should be addressed to improve access for disability groups making democracy inclusive. This article, then, contributes to the studies of the political participation of persons with disabilities in democracy in the context of regional elections

Causes and Forms of Cyberbullying among Teenagers in Indonesian Urban Areas: Cases of Jakarta, Bandung and Surabaya
Full text linkThe development of digitalization has had an impact on the increasing cases of cyberbullying among Indonesian youth, especially in urban areas such as Jakarta, Surabaya, and Bandung. This article finds out why teenagers in urban areas are rampant in carrying out cyberbullying behavior. The existing studies were examined to map the causes and forms of cyberbullying experienced by teenagers in the three cities by applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. Employing Anthony Giddens structuration theory, this article reveals that cyberbullying among urban teenagers is the impact of the relationship between agents and structures that shape social reality. In Jakarta, cyberbullying has emerged as a result of the lack of social support from peers and the low emotional intelligence that teenagers have. In Surabaya, cyberbullying arose as a result of lack of self-control and parental evaluation mediation, low self-esteem, and a strong desire for self-recognition in order to show their power. In Bandung, cyberbullying arose as a result of the anonymity and authoritarian pattern of parental care
Enhancing Political Participation: A Comparative Study of Political Systems in China and Malaysia
Full text linkThis article compares the political systems of China and Malaysia, focusing on political participation enhancement. It seeks to identify the strengths and weaknesses of their political systems and propose appropriate approaches to enhance political participation in both countries. By examining the structure of government and the effectiveness of political participation, this study expands the current understanding of these political systems in China and Malaysia. It also explores the factors that influence political participation in China and Malaysia. The study finds that political participation in Malaysia is more democratic than in China, considering factors such as party diversity, the electoral process, and the role of local government in accommodating minority voices. However, China's political system demonstrates strength through its centralized control, allowing for the efficient execution of policies and regulations. The study acknowledges similarities between the two countries in terms of their three branches of government but also highlights differences in the type of politically unengaged communities. The findings from this research can be considered by the governments of both countries to improve political participation, particularly among the younger generation. This article, therefore, contributes to the studies on political systems in Asian countries from a comparative perspective
Gender Equality, Disability and Social Inclusion Approach to Disaster Management Policy: The Case of the Bali Disaster Response Authority
Full text linkThis article describes the application of the GEDSI (Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion) approach to disaster management policies with special reference to the Province of Bali. The province, which frequently experiences natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and floods, recognizes the need to pay attention to gender differences, disabilities and social inclusion in all aspects of disaster management. The GEDSI approach promotes active participation and an equal role for all community members in dealing with disasters. The findings show that Bali is committed to ensuring equal access to information, protection and disaster management services for vulnerable groups. It seeks to integrate a gender perspective in disaster management planning, including ensuring women's participation in decision-making and their involvement in policy implementation. In addition, the GEDSI approach also emphasizes social inclusion and the needs of people with disabilities. Bali seeks to remove physical and social barriers that may impede the participation and accessibility of persons with disabilities during disasters. Disabled persons-friendly facilities and services are provided, and disability groups are involved in policy planning and evaluation. With the GEDSI approach, disaster management in Bali can be inclusive and responsive to the needs of all individuals. This approach will ensure equity, respect human rights and enhance sustainability in the face of natural disasters

Social Media and Diplomacy: The Utilization of Instagram as An Instrument of Indonesia’s Economic Diplomacy
No full textThe Covid-19 pandemic has significantly transformed various aspects of interstate relations, including the practice of economic diplomacy. Traditional diplomatic methods, which relied heavily on direct interactions, have shifted toward digital approaches, including the use of social media. This research analyzes how the Indonesian government utilizes Instagram as a tool for economic diplomacy. The conceptual framework for this study is based on Kishan Rana’s three stages of economic diplomacy in developing countries: salesmanship, networking, and regulatory management (Rana, 2012). Employing a mixed-method approach that combines volume and thematic analysis, the study identifies several key findings. First, Indonesia’s economic diplomacy on Instagram is most active in Asia, with three accounts demonstrating the highest public engagement: the Indonesian embassies in South Korea, Kazakhstan, and Cambodia. In all cases, the involvement of private sectors, either within or in collaboration with the embassies, played a critical role. Second, an analysis of Instagram content patterns reveals that Indonesian representatives primarily focus on network-building activities, with minimal attention given to salesmanship and regulatory management. This indicates that the use of social media for economic diplomacy by Indonesian representatives remains largely an extension of Indonesia’s traditional diplomatic practices, which emphasize building and maintaining networks rather than pursuing broader economic objectives
