Explaining the Dynamic Hedging Policy of the Duterte Administration Amid the Sino-US Rivalry
No full textThis article explains the dynamics of Duterte’s foreign policy in responding to geopolitical uncertainty in Southeast Asia. The Philippines’ geopolitical alignment toward China shifted during his administration, marking a significant break in its foreign policy history. The Duterte administration has also been distancing the Philippines from the United States. As a result, the Philippines' foreign policy orientation began to view its relations with the two powers more pragmatically. Using hedging as an analytical framework and a qualitative-deductive method of analysis, this article argues that the Duterte administration adopted a hedging-oriented foreign policy shaped by both the structural climate and domestic socio-bureaucratic considerations. Furthermore, his approach reflected strong policy dynamism, marked by flexible and anticipatory shifts in alignment during the latter half of his administration in response to perceived risks and opportunities
Good Corporate Governance and Working Conditions at Petrol Stations: A Critical Political Economy Perspective
No full textThis study examines the claim that the benefits of good corporate governance (GCG) extend to all stakeholders, with a specific focus on the advantages for workers during operational processes. Conceptually, GCG connects all stakeholders by following its principles, without addressing power imbalances that arise from stakeholder class differences. This research highlights an underexplored aspect of GCG literature: power asymmetries among internal stakeholders, specifically the relationship between business owners and their workers. This study employs a multiple case study approach, drawing on in-depth interviews with 30 informants and document analysis of station records, regulatory frameworks, and prior studies, focusing on Pertamina petrol stations managed by Pertamina Patra Niaga and Pertamina Retail, which received “good” and “excellent” GCG ratings in 2023. The analysis of four petrol stations—operated either directly by Pertamina Retail or by private partners under Pertamina Patra Niaga—reveals that exploitative labour arrangements and substandard working conditions persist despite the formal implementation of GCG principles. These findings underscore that, in the absence of measures to address structural power asymmetries among stakeholders, the benefits of GCG are disproportionately captured by dominant actors, particularly capital owners within the corporate hierarchy
Community-Based Social Marketing Strategy in Kampung Cibunut Berwarna: Advancing Edutourism in a Sustainable Circular Economy
Full text linkThis paper proposes a community-based social marketing model and outlines its role and methodology in developing a sustainable circular economy within internal brand-building. It broadens community- based social marketing by incorporating diverse education tourism (edutourism) activities within a sustainable circular economy, extending beyond traditional literature. Adopting a case study using an open-ended phenomenological approach, we collected data through five in-depth interviews and a focus group discussion. The participants were community leaders and members engaged in sustainable circular economy development in Kampung Cibunut Berwarna, Bandung, Indonesia. Additionally, we analysed related documents, including archival records and descriptions of internal processes, to complement the primary data. The findings provide empirical insights into change mechanism in community-based social marketing. Notably, visionary leaders, the ripple effect of edutourism, and content as a branding emblem help integrate sustainable circular economy behaviour into edutourism. While this study provides valuable insights into the practices in the research site, the case study may limit generalisability to larger areas and different societal challenges. Future research should test these propositions in diverse geographical contexts
Systematic Literature Review of Environmental Impact Assessments
Full text linkThis article provides a systematic literature review (SLR) of Environmental Impact Assessments(EIA) in Public Administration (PA), analysing scholarly articles published between 1971 and 2023 through bibliometric and qualitative methods. Using VOSviewer for quantitative insights and qualitative analysis, the study comprehensively examines the evolution and thematic trends of EIA research. It identifies critical themes like public participation, regulatory frameworks, and environmental integration that shape EIA practices. Analysing 287 journal articles, the review shows that public participation is a dominant theme, reflecting a shift toward inclusive, participatory governance. This transition includes climate change considerations in EIA processes and the use of advanced technologies like remote sensing and AI to improve accuracy and efficiency. EIA research has evolved from strict regulatory compliance to broader, tech-enhanced, participatory approaches. This SLR tracks EIA studies' historical progression and diversification, revealing emerging trends and gaps while laying a foundation for future research. It offers valuable insights into environmental assessment and public policy, contributing significantly to environmental management discourse
Social Dominance Orientation (SDO) and Political In(tolerance) among Islamists in Jakarta
Full text linkPolitical intolerance—the unwillingness to accept the political freedom of those with differing views—has become an increasingly significant issue in Indonesia in recent years. The country began holding free and fair elections at the national level in 2004, with regional elections following shortly thereafter. Despite this progress, at least two surveys show that the level of political intolerance in Indonesia increased over time, peaking between 2017 and 2019. Several scholars have examined this issue in Indonesia through various perspectives, including online political intolerance. Others used the Social Dominance Orientation (SDO) method to measure the level of intolerance among particular groups. This research aims to expand the scholarship on political intolerance by examining the SDO levels among Islamists in Greater Jakarta, and whether the SDO levels positively correlate with their political intolerance. Using an explanatory approach with quantitative statistical analysis and qualitative in-depth interviews, this study examines the relationship between SDO levels and political intolerance. This study involves 265 Islamists in the Greater Jakarta region. The findings show that there is a positive correlation between the SDO levels and political intolerance, confirming the findings of previous studies that political intolerance usually parallels, and is built up by, higher levels of SDO among individuals. This is the first large study to investigate the level of SDO among Islamists in Jakarta
Emojis in Digital Governance: Empirical Insights from Indonesian Ministries
Full text linkThis study explores how Indonesian ministries create impressions to the public through their use of emojis on X (previously Twitter ). Based on a qualitative content analysis of 1,897 tweets, this research finds evidence of the strategic use of emojis in ingratiation, self-promotion, exemplification, and supplication. The findings indicate that emojis are not only used to raise public engagement, but also to create an image of positivity and friendliness. Ingratiation and self-promotion emerged as the most salient strategies. This paper examines the role of emojis in government communication and contributes to the understanding of digital political communication with further practical insights into managing public relations for government agencies
COVID-19 Infodemic in Indonesia: Impacts on National Security and Government Responses
Full text linkThe infodemic, characterised by widespread misinformation and disinformation about COVID-19, including its transmission and vaccines, was a significant issue in Indonesia from 2020 to 2023, during and after the pandemic. This research aims to analyse the impact of the infodemic on Indonesia's national security during this critical period, emphasising the importance of understanding how infodemic can influence national security. This article presents a rigorous literature review and process tracing method, collecting data from various stakeholders, journal articles, news media, and reports from international organisations to explore the correlations between infodemic and national security. It argues that Indonesia's extensive social media landscape and low public health literacy levels have intensified the spread of viral misinformation, undermining the pandemic response. The government's initiatives to combat the infodemic were successful, as evidenced by increased compliance with COVID-19 protocols and vaccination participation. The article is organised into four sections. The first discusses misinformation in Indonesia and offers a literature review. The second explores theoretical arguments regarding the infodemic's impact on national security. The third examines government responses and stakeholder involvement. The final section analyses the effectiveness of these efforts
Disaffected Coattail Effect: The Election Anomaly in Local Political Party in Aceh, Indonesia
Full text linkThis research explains how the Aceh Party, which supported Prabowo-Gibran in the 2024 presidential election, not only won the election in Aceh but also managed to secure more seats in the local parliament. This vote gain seemed anomalous when other supporting parties saw the negative coattail effect of the national political contestation. Aceh, a region synonymous with political Islam, became a vote bank for the Anies-Muhaimin candidate pair, who were associated with Islamism. As a result, the party supporting them secured a significant vote share in the Aceh legislative elections. The coattail effect also affected the parties supporting the other unpopular candidate pairs, Prabowo-Gibran and Ganjar-Mahfud, which experienced a decrease in the number of votes in the legislative elections. Diverting from the patterns, the Aceh Party supported Prabowo-Gibran yet managed to secure more seats in the parliament. It was the only political party supporting an unpopular candidate yet secured more seats in the parliament. This article analyses the factors that boosted the Aceh Party's votes in the 2024 elections. Based on the literature study, this article shows that the Aceh Party's victory was inseparable from the campaign strategy shift in local political contestation. Despite supporting unpopular candidates, the Aceh Party was able to translate ideology into a demarcation between national political interests in Jakarta and regional political interests in Aceh. The emphasis on cultural and local political identity has strengthened the Aceh Party's political base
