DAMPAK KERJA SAMA INDONESIA DAN UNI EMIRAT ARAB MELALUI SHAREHOLDER AGREEMENT (SHA) DALAM MENINGKATKAN INFRASTRUKTUR PELABUHAN BELAWAN PERIODE I
As an archipelagic country with a geostrategic position along global trade routes, Indonesia considers ports as vital infrastructure in supporting export and import activities. However, Belawan Port, one of the main ports in North Sumatra, continues to face various challenges, particularly in terms of infrastructure limitations and operational inefficiencies. This study aims to analyze the impact of the bilateral cooperation between Indonesia and the United Arab Emirates through the Shareholder Agreement (SHA) scheme on the improvement of Belawan Port infrastructure during Phase I. Employing a descriptive-qualitative approach, data were collected through literature review, official document analysis, and strategic policy evaluation. The findings indicate that the implementation of the SHA involving PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Pelindo), the Indonesia Investment Authority (INA), and Dubai Port World (DP World) has accelerated port modernization, enhanced the attractiveness of foreign direct investment (FDI), and improved national logistics efficiency. Beyond economic dimensions, the cooperation also emphasizes sustainable development principles by integrating environmental considerations into both the planning and operational stages of the port. This cooperation model represents a strategic, adaptive, and visionary cross-border partnership that can serve as a reference for the development of maritime infrastructure based on international collaboration. Keywords: Shareholder Agreement, Port Infrastructure, Belawan Port, Foreign Investment, Sustainable Development.

PASAR KOPI INDIA DAN PENINGKATAN EKSPOR KOPI INDONESIA TAHUN 2018-2022
Coffee is one of Indonesia's leading plantation commodities with high economic value and plays a significant role in the international trade sector. India, as one of the export destination countries, has shown a significant increase in demand for Indonesian coffee. In 2018, Indonesia’s coffee exports to India reached only 2,237 tons, but experienced a sharp increase to 43,651 tons by 2022. This reflects a competitive trade dynamic and highlights the importance of analyzing Indonesia's export competitiveness. This study employs a qualitative method using secondary data obtained from trade reports, academic journals, as well as publications from the government and the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS). The research adopts a liberalism perspective and the theory of comparative advantage. The increase in Indonesian coffee exports to India is influenced by several factors, including rising Indian demand for premium and specialty coffee, supportive tariff and non-tariff policies, Indonesian coffee competitiveness, coffee production, coffee marketing strategy and trade agreements between the two countries that facilitate market access. Keywords: Coffee Export, Indonesia–India, International Trade
PERAN UNITED NATIONS ENVIRONMENTS PROGRAMME (UNEP) DALAM PENGEMBANGAN EKONOMI HIJAU DI INDONESIA TAHUN 2023-2024.
This study aims to examine and analyze the role of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in supporting the implementation of the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) as part of Indonesia's transition towards a green economy during the 2023–2024 period. The research focuses on UNEP's involvement in international cooperation supporting energy sector reform and the integration of just transition principles in Indonesia. This paper employs a descriptive qualitative approach using a literature study method involving the review of books, journals, official reports, scientific articles, and relevant international institution websites. The perspective used is liberalism at the group level of analysis, with cooperation theory serving as the main conceptual framework. The study finds that UNEP acts as an international catalyst in strengthening Indonesia's energy transition strategy through the implementation of the JETP. This role includes providing technical support in policy formulation, facilitating access to international funding, and enhancing national institutional capacity. However, various challenges such as policy overlap, fossil fuel dominance, and limited public participation remain major obstacles. Policy harmonization among institutions, accelerated disbursement of green funding, and enhanced civil society engagement are necessary to ensure the energy transition genuinely supports the achievement of an inclusive and sustainable green economy. Keywords: Green Economy, United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Sustainable Development
UPAYA INDONESIA MENINGKATKAN EKSPOR KOPI KE MALAYSIA 2018-2021
This study aims to analyze the efforts undertaken by Indonesia to increase coffee exports to Malaysia during the period from 2018 to 2021. Malaysia is one of the main export destinations for Indonesian coffee in the Southeast Asian region, with a growing trend in coffee consumption, particularly among the younger generation and players in the beverage industry. In this context, Indonesia faces challenges such as competition from other coffee-producing countries like Vietnam and Brazil, as well as increasing demands regarding quality, certification, and complex market preferences. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach using international political economy theory from a liberalism perspective and the theory of comparative advantage as analytical frameworks. Data were collected through literature review and documentation from secondary sources such as official reports, statistical data, and academic literature. The results of the study show that the Indonesian government's strategy to boost coffee exports to Malaysia includes improving product quality, promoting through international exhibitions and coffee festivals, leveraging the ASEAN free trade agreement (ATIGA), strengthening economic diplomacy, and digitalizing marketing efforts. In addition, support for farmers and MSMEs through training, quality standardization, and the strengthening of infrastructure and logistics also plays a role in maintaining the competitiveness of national coffee exports. Keywords: International Trade, Comparative Advantage, Economic Diplomacy.
IMPLEMENTASI PUTUSAN DISPUTE SETTLEMENT BODY (DSB) WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION (WTO) OLEH AUSTRALIA TERHADAP SENGKETA PRODUK KERTAS FOTOKOPI A4 ASAL INDONESIA
The dispute concerning dumping allegations made by Australia against A4 copy paper products originating from Indonesia arose when the Australian Anti- Dumping Commission (ADC) imposed high anti-dumping duties on three Indonesian paper companies. Consequently, Indonesia filed a complaint against Australia through the World Trade Organization (WTO) dispute settlement mechanism. This study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through literature reviews, official documents from the World Trade Organization (WTO), as well as government publications from both countries. The research is framed using the theoretical perspective of liberalism, theories of international dispute resolution, and the nation-state level of analysis. The findings indicate that Australia has implemented the decision of the WTO Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) by revoking anti-dumping duties on two out of three Indonesian paper exporters in 2020. This measure was taken after a lengthy litigation process in which the WTO panel ruled that Australia had violated provisions under the Anti-Dumping Agreement. Keywords: World Trade Organization, Dispute Settlement Body, Anti-Dumping Commission, Anti-Dumping Duties, Anti-Dumping Agreement.
ANALISIS DAMPAK EMBARGO MINYAK BUMI RUSIA OLEH UNI EROPA PASCA INVASI KE UKRAINA TAHUN 2022-2024
This study focuses on the impact of the European Union's oil embargo against Russia following its invasion of Ukraine between 2022 and 2024. The embargo was part of a broader strategy of international economic sanctions, employed as a diplomatic tool to pressure Russia into ceasing its military aggression in Ukraine. As a collective of European nations that had been major importers of Russian crude oil, the European Union held a significant share of Russia’s oil export market. Consequently, the embargo exerted considerable economic pressure on the Russian economy. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method, relying on data collected through literature reviews encompassing books, academic journals, websites, and relevant official documents. This study is grounded in the theoretical framework of international political economy, with particular reference to economic sanctions theory and the nation-state level of analysis. The findings indicate that the EU’s oil embargo succeeded in economically pressuring Russia, as evidenced by a decline in its oil export revenues. However, Russia demonstrated a notable capacity for economic adaptation in response to these sanctions. The embargo also had repercussions for the European Union itself. Ultimately, the oil embargo served as a critical instrument in the West’s response to the Ukraine invasion—producing tangible economic effects, yet falling short of altering Russia's strategic decisions regarding its military actions. Keywords: Impact, Embargo, Sanctions, Economy, Crude Oil, Invasion
PENERAPAN PRINSIP NON-REFOULEMENT DALAM KASUS PENGUNGSI ROHINGYA DI MALAYSIA
The humanitarian crisis affecting the Rohingya ethnic group since 2017 has triggered a massive exodus to Southeast Asian countries, including Malaysia. Although Malaysia is not a party to the 1951 Refugee Convention or its 1967 Protocol, it remains a major destination due to geographic proximity, cultural affinity, and economic factors. Malaysia's non-accession to the international refugee legal regime raises a key question: to what extent is the principle of non-refoulement implemented in practice, and how does Malaysia weigh this principle when responding to the arrival of Rohingya refugees? This research aims to explore these issues by examining the country’s policy dynamics between 2017 and 2022. This study employs a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach. Data were collected through literature review from various primary and secondary sources, including UNHCR reports, official Malaysian government documents, academic literature, and international media coverage. The theoretical framework is based on Guy S. Goodwin-Gill’s absolute state sovereignty approach, which explains how states maintain full control over their borders and migration policies. The findings indicate that Malaysia implements the non-refoulement principle de facto, including through deportation moratoria, cooperation with UNHCR, and limited access to basic services. However, such implementation remains inconsistent and largely dependent on situational administrative policies. In the absence of a clear domestic refugee law and amid limited coordination or burden-sharing at the ASEAN level, protection for Rohingya refugees in Malaysia remains fragile and unsustainable. Keywords: Non-Refoulement, Refugees, Rohingya, Malaysia
UPAYA PEMERINTAH KAMBOJA DALAM MENANGANI KASUS PERDAGANGAN MANUSIA DI KAMBOJA TAHUN 2022-2023
Human trafficking is a complex issue that requires a strategic government response. This phenomenon is even more crucial in Cambodia, which acts as a country of origin, transit and destination. This study analyzes the Cambodian government's concrete steps at the national, bilateral, regional and multilateral scales. The research method is a descriptive qualitative approach based on document analysis. This research uses K.J Holsti's theory of international cooperation. The results of this study show Cambodia's commitment through strengthening the legal framework and ratification of international instruments (UNTOC, ILO, ACTIP) as well as the implications of the TSE Law in the national legal framework. Cambodia makes various domestic and international efforts through bilateral, regional and multilateral cooperation. However, implementation is constrained by capacity gaps, inter-agency coordination and systematic corruption, requiring an integrated and sustainable approach to address the structural problems of combating human trafficking in Cambodia. Keywords: Human Trafficking, Transnational Crime, International Cooperation, National Interest.
DAMPAK TUNTUTAN COMFORT WOMEN TERHADAP HUBUNGAN DIPLOMATIK JEPANG – KOREA SELATAN
This study aims to analyze the impact of the comfort women issue on diplomatic relations between South Korea and Japan. This research employs a qualitative approach using a case study method and is analyzed through the lens of historical constructivism developed by Duncan Bell, alongside Charles Tilly's theory of social movements. The study focuses on the period from 2015 to 2022, covering the dynamics following the 2015 Comfort Women Agreement. The findings indicate that the collective memory of the comfort women issue plays a critical role in fueling public resistance against Japan, as evidenced by social movements, boycotts of Japanese products, and domestic pressure on the South Korean government to reassess diplomatic and security cooperation. This study concludes that resolving the comfort women issue requires more than a legal-formal approach; it demands an empathetic and symbolic response that addresses the historical and moral dimensions of the problem. Keywords: Comfort Women, The Korean Council, South Korea, Japan, 2015 Agreement, Diplomatic Tensions
UPAYA UNITED NATIONS ASSISTANCE MISSION IN AFGHANISTAN (UNAMA) DALAM MEMPERJUANGKAN HAK PEREMPUAN DI AFGHANISTAN TAHUN 2021-2023
This study examines the efforts of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) to safeguard women’s rights in Afghanistan from 2021 to 2023, particularly after the Taliban’s return to power, which has curtailed women’s access to education, employment, health care, freedom of movement, and political participation. Employing a qualitative descriptive method that combines library research with an analysis of official UNAMA documents, UN reports, and relevant news sources, the study draws on pluralist perspectives, Clive Archer’s theory of international organizations, and Joshua S. Goldstein’s level‑of‑analysis framework. The findings show that UNAMA has successfully documented, reported, and advocated against abuses of women’s rights, including torture, restrictions on freedom of assembly, and discrimination within the judicial system. Despite advocacy through dialogue with the Taliban, reporting to the UN Security Council, and coordination with international actors for diplomatic pressure and humanitarian assistance, UNAMA faces significant challenges, such as limited enforcement authority and Taliban resistance to international norms. The research underscores the necessity of sustained and consistent international support to ensure the protection of women’s rights in Afghanistan. Keywords: Women's Rights, International Organizations, Pluralism, Taliban, UNAMA
STRATEGI INDONESIA DALAM MENINGKATKAN KEAMANAN MARITIM MELALUI CORAL TRIANGLE INITIATIVE ON CORAL REEFS, FISHERIES AND FOOD SECURITY (CTI-CFF)
CTI-CFF is a form of multilateral cooperation that Indonesia utilizes to strengthen maritime security through conservation and sustainable management approaches. This study aims to analyze Indonesia's strategy in improving maritime security through the implementation of CTI-CFF programs. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach with an institutional neoliberalism theoretical framework. The primary focus is on the role of institutions in creating cooperation mechanisms that foster trust, transparency, and compliance in addressing transnational maritime challenges. The results of this study show that through three main programs, Indonesia has successfully utilized CTI-CFF not only for conservation purposes but also as a strategic instrument in addressing non-traditional maritime security threats. Indonesia's active involvement in this institution strengthens its diplomatic position and reflects its consistency in maintaining collective regional stability. Keywords: CTI-CFF, Indonesia, Maritime Security, Multilateral Cooperation
DEFENSE OFFSETS DALAM PROGRAM PENGEMBANGAN PESAWAT TEMPUR KF-21 BORAMAE TAHAP II INDONESIA DENGAN KOREA SELATAN
This study examines the implementation of defense offsets in the joint development of the KF-21 Boramae fighter jet between Indonesia and South Korea. Using qualitative methods and theoretical frameworks of international cooperation and defense diplomacy, the research focuses on three aspects: (1) Indonesia’s offset policy under Law No. 16/2012, (2) the dynamics of the KF-21 Phase II project (2012-2023), and (3) the project’s significance for Indonesia’s national interests. Findings reveal that while Indonesia secured 15% industrial participation via direct offsets (technology transfer, human resource training, and component manufacturing), the initial 20% target was unmet due to U.S. technology restrictions under the Defense Technology Security System (DTSS). Rational actor model analysis indicates Indonesia’s commitment to continue the project stems from strategic calculations, including defense industrial capacity building, international reputation enhancement, and reduced reliance on arms imports. The study recommends strengthening legal offset frameworks and diversifying partners to mitigate future geopolitical risks. Keywords: Defense offsets, KF-21 Boramae, technology transfer, defense industry, Indonesia-South Korea cooperation
KAMPANYE BLACK LIVES MATTER GLOBAL NETWORK FOUNDATION (BLMGNF) DALAM MENGATASI DISKRIMINASI RASISME DI KANADA 2020-2022
Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation is an organization that calls for the rejection of violence against black people and was formed based on the movement of the same name, namely Black Lives Matter. In 2020, this movement became global after the death of George Floyd at the hands of a police officer. In 2014, Canada became the first country outside the United States to sympathize with this event and also called for Black Lives Matter. For black people in Canada, they often experience racist discrimination, although not the same as in the United States. However, racism is a problem that they often face as a minority. This study aims to analyze how the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation campaign addresses racist discrimination in Canada. This study uses Social Movement theory and group analysis levels to examine the changes created by the BLMGNF organization. Social Movement Theory itself is the main vehicle for ordinary people to be able to participate in the political sphere that intersects with the people. The method used is a qualitative method that is a literature study by using and analyzing data through sources such as books, news, magazines, articles, journals and websites. The results of this study indicate that the role and efforts of BLMGNF are able to reduce racism against black people in Canada. The awareness and sense of humanity of the community towards this problem has moved to a better path where there were demonstrations carried out by thousands of people in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Ottawa, and Calgary to demand justice for cases of discrimination. Keyword: Black Lives Matter, Canada, Racism
PERAN UNITED NATIONS WOMEN (UN WOMEN) DALAM MENGATASI GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE (GBV) DI INDIA: STUDI KASUS PEREMPUAN KASTA DALIT TAHUN 2020-2021
This study discusses the role of United Nations Women in addressing genderbased violence in India, with a specific focus on Dalit women during the 2020–2021 period. The background of this research is rooted in the high incidence of genderbased violence in India, driven by patriarchal norms and the caste system, resulting in Dalit women facing intersectional, double discrimination due to their gender and social status, which exacerbates their vulnerability to physical, sexual, and psychological violence The research method is a qualitative case study with a deductive-descriptive approach. Data were collected by study library research, reviewing of books, journals, official reports, as well as UN Women’s documents and publications. The theoretical frameworks of constructivist and theory of international organizations as developed by Michael Barnett and Martha Finnemore, with the level of analysis focused on international organizations.

However, challenges such as limited funding, cultural barriers, and weak law enforcement against perpetrators of gender-based violence (GBV) remain to be addressed. Keywords: Gender-Based Violence, Dalit Caste, India, UN Women
UPAYA KANTOR IMIGRASI I KOTA PEKANBARU DALAM MENANGANI IMIGRAN ILLEGAL ASAL BANGLADESH DI PULAU RUPAT
This study aims to analyze the efforts of the Pekanbaru Class I Immigration Office in handling illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. The research method used is a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews and field observations. This study utilizes public policy theory because it can explain how government policies, particularly those related to handling illegal immigration, are formulated, implemented, and evaluated. The results show that the Pekanbaru Immigration Office has taken various strategic steps, such as strengthening immigration supervision at regional entry points, collaborating with other law enforcement agencies, and increasing early detection through patrols and document checks. In addition, the immigration office also carries out administrative immigration actions, such as detention and deportation of illegal immigrants proven to have violated statutory provisions. Therefore, cross-sectoral synergy and increased institutional capacity are needed to address the problem of illegal immigration more effectively and sustainably. Keywords: Illegal immigrants, Pekanbaru Immigration Office, Bangladesh, law enforcement, immigration
KERJA SAMA PENGIRIMAN PEKERJA MIGRAN INDONESIA KE JEPANG MELALUI PROGRAM VISA SPECIFIED SKILLED WORKER (SSW)
Japan is facing demographic problems, namely an ageing population and low birth rates. This situation has led to a shortage of working-age people needed to fill production activities. This study aims to determine how the deployment of Indonesian migrant workers (PMI) in the careworker sector is implemented through the Specified Skilled Worker (SSW) visa programme. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with literature review data collection techniques. This study employs K.J. Holsti's theory of international cooperation. The findings indicate that initially, there was little interest in sending careworkers to Japan, but this interest has steadily increased in subsequent years. One reason for this increase is the ongoing growth of Japan's elderly population, and the SSW cooperation benefits both countries, each with their own interests. Keywords: Cooperation, Migrant Worker, Specified Skilled Worker
KEBIJAKAN INDONESIA DALAM PERLINDUNGAN PEKERJA MIGRAN INDONESIA MELALUI SISTEM PENEMPATAN SATU KANAL (SPSK) DI ARAB SAUDI TAHUN 2018-2023
This study analyzes how the One Channel Placement System (SPSK) policy can help provide protection to Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) in Saudi Arabia. The country is the main destination for PMI, but the high number of complaints of violence and exploitation demands a stronger protection system. SPSK is a digital-based policy with a guaranteed recruitment process and was born through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Indonesia and Saudi Arabia in 2018 and is specifically intended for domestic migrant workers. This study uses a qualitative method with data collection techniques through document studies sourced from BP2MI, academic books, journals, articles, reports of related organizations, and other official documents. This study also uses a Liberalism perspective with a framework of analysis and a State level of analysis. The results of this paper indicate that the SPSK successfully dispatched 100 migrant workers in the initial phase but still faced various obstacles, such as limited placement companies and unclear subsequent departure stages. The effectiveness of this policy was also hampered by a lack of technical clarity in the field. On the other hand, several non-governmental organizations, such as Suara Perempuan, Migrant Watch, and Migrant Care, criticized the weak implementation of this policy. In addition to technical issues, a fundamental weakness lies in the legal basis used, namely the MoU, which is not binding and does not include sanctions for violations. This study found that before implementing a policy like the SPSK, Indonesia should seek a legally binding bilateral agreement to ensure optimal and sustainable protection for migrant workers. Keywords: Indonesian Migrant Workers, One Channel System, Protection
PERAN WORLD FOOD PROGRAMME (WFP) DALAM MENANGANI KRISIS PANGAN DI SUDAN TAHUN 2019 – 2022
This research analyzes the role of WFP as an international organization in handling the food crisis in Sudan in 2019-2022. The political coup against President Bashir that took place in 2019 led to a food crisis that affected a large section of the population. The Sudanese population experienced acute food insecurity as a result of post-coup cash shortages and a fragile economy as outside food support was halted. Then, the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 exacerbated economic problems and hampered the post-Bashir transition and led to a major reduction in international aid. The purpose of this research is to find out about the role of WFP in handling the food crisis that occurred in Sudan in 2019-2022. This research uses a qualitative method, with data collection techniques through literature studies sourced from several journals, books, articles, reports, and websites. This research uses a pluralism perspective, the concept of food security, and Clive Archer’s international organization theory which divides the role of international organization into three, namely as instruments, arenas, and independent actors. The study showed that WFP carries out its role as an international organization by implementing various programs that are in accordance with Sudan’s conditions. As an instrument, WFP helps Sudan to achieve national interests which in this context is to deal with the food crisis. As an independent actor, WFP has sufficient capacity to make decisions independently without external influence while cooperating with many partners, so that the number of beneficiaries continues to increase from 2019-2022. Keywords: WFP, Food Crisis, Sudan, Food Security.
PERAN PT COCA COLA EUROPACIFIC PARTNERS DALAM MENGURANGI SAMPAH PLASTIK DI INDONESIA MELALUI THIS IS FORWARD
The problem of plastic waste in Indonesia has become a major focus in efforts to prevent ecosystem damage. As one of the largest plastic waste producing countries in the world, Indonesia faces serious challenges related to plastic waste management. PT Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP) Indonesia, as part of a multinational company in the beverage sector whose products are quite popular in Indonesia, produces products made of plastic reaching millions of tons each year worldwide, thus contributing greatly to environmental pollution. For this reason, the company created the “This Is Forward” initiative as a form of corporate social responsibility for waste generated from the company’s products and as a form of compliance with regulations where the company operates, as well as pressure from other external parties. This study uses the NGO Role theory, the Multinational Corporation (MNC) level of analysis, and the Liberalism Perspective. The research method used is qualitative with a case study approach and literature study data collection techniques. Data were obtained from the company’s annual report, official plastic publication This Is Forward, government policy documents related to plastic waste management, as well as scientific articles and media news. The research results show that CCEP plays a role in realizing sustainability by addressing the problem of plastic waste through “This Is Forward” namely by building the Amandina Bumi Nusantara recycling facility, Launching r-PET bottles, Establishing the Mahija Parahita Nusantara Foundation, joining several environmental platforms and organizations, establishing partnerships and collaborations with other parties, and encouraging the government to create effective waste reduction regulations, EPR/ESR development, infrastructure development, and the use of the latest technology. The progress from the results of these activities is that 100% of Coca-Cola packaging can be recycled, the use of rPET reaches 19.6% in 2024 and the realization of the primary packaging collection rate reaches 148.6% in 2024.

This research analyzes the response of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (Quad) alliance to the escalating tensions and conflict in the South China Sea—an area of strategic importance within the broader Indo-Pacific region, which holds significant value due to its diverse natural resources. The focus of this study is on the strategic initiatives taken by the Quad, a group of Indo-Pacific-based countries, in addressing the conflict escalation in the South China Sea, a region considered vital for international security and stability. This research employs a qualitative method through literature review, sourcing data from books, documents, reports, journals, newspapers, articles, and online publications. The study adopts the perspective of Neorealism and the theory of Maritime Security. The study finds that the Quad has implemented various strategic initiatives to respond to potential threats and escalating conflict in the South China Sea, aimed at preserving regional stability and security. These initiatives include joint Malabar exercises, cooperation in coast guard patrols, and maritime surveillance through satellite and radar technologies. However, it is important to emphasize that the Quad’s approach is supportive rather than dominant, respecting ASEAN’s centrality in the regional maritime security discourse. Keywords: Maritime Security, Conflict Escalation, South China Sea, Strategy, Quadrilateral Security Dialogue
KERJASAMA UNI EROPA DENGAN ARMENIA UNTUK MEWUJUDKAN PERDAMAIAN PASCA PERANG KARABAKH KEDUA
The Second Karabakh War that occurred in 2020 between Armenia and Azerbaijan not only caused casualties and infrastructure damage to Armenia, but also caused a border crisis, a large influx of refugees from Nagorno-Karabakh, and an internal political crisis. Therefore, Armenia asked the European Union for help and support. The European Union began to play a more active role in supporting the post-conflict peace process, especially through cooperation with Armenia. The European Union Mission in Armenia (EUMA) is the basis for the EU’s cooperation with Armenia to realize peace after the Second karabakh War. This study adopts a Pluralism perspective and utilizes Johan Galtung’s theory of peace, applying the international system level of analysis. The research method employed is qualitative, with literature study as the primary data collection technique. Data were obtained from official documents, cooperation agreements, annual EU reports, as well as scientific articles and news sources. The results of the study show that the EU’s cooperation with Armenia includes the European Union Mission in Armenia (EUMA) civil mission, mediation, financial and humanitarian assistance. EUMA has a mandate to observe and report on the security situation along the Armenia-Azerbaijan border through patrols; enhancing trust-building between Armenia and Azerbaijan. In addition, the EU also helps Armenia in dealing with the refugee problem by providing humanitarian and financial assistance to deal with the domestic political crisis. The results achieved from this cooperation are a significant decrease in the frequency of Azerbaijani attacks on the Armenian border area, as well as an agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan for a peace agreement and normalization of relations between the two countries. Keywords: European Union, Armenia, peace, European Union Mission in Armenia (EUMA).
KERJASAMA KEAMANAN MOLDOVA DENGAN UNI EROPA DALAM MENGHADAPI ANCAMAN RUSIA
Moldova, a country bordering Ukraine, has security concerns as a result of Russian threats, and asked the European Union for help in dealing with threats mainly involving the breakaway Transnistria region, as well as increasing cyberattacks. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, cyberattacks against Moldovan institutions have doubled to tripled from 2022 to 2023, mainly targeting government websites, and coinciding with national events. This research uses a qualitative method, with data collection techniques through literature studies sourced from several books, journals, websites, documents and media. This research uses the Realism Perspective and K.J Holsti's International Cooperation Theory as well as the State Level of Analysis. The results showed that the European Union launched a partnership mission in the Republic of Moldova, namely the European Partnership Mission in the Republic of Moldova (EUPM). Since the early 2000s the EU has established a Border Assistance Mission to Moldova and Ukraine (EUBAM) to monitor the Transnistrian Border. It is tasked with establishing monitoring sites, training authorities, and coordinating security measures. The EU also participated in the 5+2 negotiations for a peaceful resolution. The EU is addressing cyber threats in Moldova as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine by improving digital infrastructure, supporting cybersecurity programs, and providing assistance. Keywords: Cyber Threats, Moldova Security, Transnitria, European Union.
PERAN WORLD FOOD PROGRAMME (WFP) DALAM MENANGANI KRISIS PANGAN DI SUDAN SELATAN 2022-2023
This study analyzes the role of the World Food Programme (WFP) in dealing with the food crisis in South Sudan. This study is interesting to discuss because the food crisis in South Sudan has become one of the most serious humanitarian issues due to a combination of prolonged conflict, climate change, and limited infrastructure. The World Food Programme (WFP) as an international organization under the auspices of the UN plays a strategic role in efforts to overcome the crisis. This study aims to analyze what WFP has done to deal with the food crisis in South Sudan. This research is a qualitative research with data collection through library research and internet research. The theory used is the theory of the role of international organizations. This study uses a group analysis level that has the essence of understanding, studying, and evaluating the behavioral attitudes of a group with non-state actors who already have international coverage. The research findings show that WFP is not only acting as a provider or emergency food assistance, but also a development actor that promotes long-term food security.Programs such as the Integrated Rapid Response Mechanism (IRRM), Food Assistance for Assets (FFA), and the School Feeding Programme show how WFP distributes aid effectively while building local capacity. Despite facing funding challenges, WFP remains committed to reducing the impact of the food crisis. In addition, WFP is also a channel for other countries that want to provide assistance. Keywords: WFP, food crisis, South Sudan, international organizations,
RESPONS FILIPINA TERHADAP PEMBANGUNAN PULAU BUATAN TIONGKOK DI WILAYAH LAUT TIONGKOK SELATAN (2022-2024)
This research examines the impact of China's construction of artificial islands in the South China Sea region on diplomatic relations between China and the Philippines in the period 2022-2024. The reclamation project and the construction of military infrastructure in the area claimed by China have created geopolitical tensions, especially with countries that geographically and legally have legitimate claims under UNCLOS, such as the Philippines. These tensions have a direct impact on the dynamics of bilateral relations, especially in terms of security cooperation and regional political stability. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method, and data collection techniques through literature study. In analysing the problem, this research utilises the theory of offensive realism as one of the main theories in the Neorealism perspective to understand the motives of China's power expansion, and the response of the Philippines as one of the consequences of said expansion. The analysis shows that the construction of artificial islands has worsened Philippine-China diplomatic relations. While economic cooperation continues, political and defence aspects are experiencing increased friction, including through the strengthening of trilateral relations between the Philippines, the United States and Japan. This research provides an understanding that unilateral development of disputed territories can create regional instability and encourage changes in the foreign policy strategies of affected countries. Keywords: South China Sea, diplomacy, artificial islands, military activity, foreign policy

FLUKTUASI EKPOR NONMIGAS INDONESIA PASCA KERJA SAMA INDONESIA-KOREA COMPREHENSIVE ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT TAHUN 2021-2023
The Indonesia–Korea Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IK-CEPA) signed in 2020 and implemented in 2021, was expected to boost Indonesia’s non-oil and gas export performance to South Korea through tariff elimination and improved market access. However, data from 2021 to 2023 show that Indonesia’s non-oil and gas exports experienced significant fluctuations despite the agreement. This study aims to examine the causes of these fluctuations in the post-IK-CEPA period. Using a descriptive qualitative method, this research relies on secondary data obtained from Statistics Indonesia (BPS), the Ministry of Trade, and relevant international institutions. The analysis focuses on the value and volume of Indonesia’s non-oil and gas exports to South Korea during the 2021–2023 period. The study is framed within the theory of international cooperation and the liberalism perspective to better understand trade dynamics. The results reveal that the IK-CEPA agreement alone has not been sufficient to ensure export stability in the absence of supportive global economic conditions. External factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical tensions played a significant role in disrupting export flows. Although IK-CEPA offers important opportunities, realizing its full potential requires strategic policy improvements, product competitiveness, and market diversification to strengthen Indonesia’s position in the global trade environment. Keywords: non-oil and gas exports, IK-CEPA, international trade, export fluctuations, Indonesia–Korea relations.

Keywords: Bilateral Cooperation, Cyber Security, Indonesia, Australia, Cyber Crime
HUBUNGAN PERDAGANGAN INDONESIA DAN THAILAND (STUDI KASUS IMPOR BERAS INDONESIA DARI THAILAND TAHUN 2020-2023)
Rice is an important commodity in Indonesia's food security and economy, with a high dependence on imports, especially from Thailand. This study aims to analyze the role of rice in Indonesia's food security and economy, factors that drive rice imports, and its impact on Indonesia's food security. This study uses the theory of imports and food security. This theory explains how trade policies and international market dynamics affect the availability, access, and stability of rice supply in Indonesia. The method used in this study is a descriptive qualitative approach with literature studies and policy analysis. The data studied include import policies, bilateral trade agreements, and trends in rice production and consumption in Indonesia and Thailand, to understand the factors that influence import policies and their impact on food security. The results of the study show that Thailand's rice import policy contributes to meeting national food needs, especially in maintaining the availability and stability of domestic rice supplies. Imports are a strategic solution to the imbalance between domestic production and consumption that continues to increase due to population growth, climate change, and land conversion. However, the high volume of imports without data-based planning has a negative impact on local farmers, especially when imports are carried out at the same time as the domestic harvest season. This depresses grain prices, reduces farmer incomes, and threatens the sustainability of the agricultural sector. Therefore, although imports from Thailand are effective in the short term, a sustainable food security strategy requires synergy between trade policies and strengthening national production. Keywords: Rice Import, Thailand, Food Security, Economy, Bilateral Trade
KERJA SAMA INDONESIA DAN SPACEX DALAM MEWUJUDKAN KEMANDIRIAN KEANTARIKSAAN
Space cooperation has become one of the strategic forms of collaboration widely undertaken by countries around the world. As a developing nation, Indonesia has been involved in space cooperation since 1967. To date, Indonesia has partnered with various actors to launch its satellites into Earth’s orbit. In recent years, there has been a growing tendency to cooperate with one particular international actor—SpaceX—for satellite launches. This study examines the reasons and objectives behind Indonesia’s cooperation with SpaceX and explores why Indonesia has opted not to collaborate with other satellite launch service providers. This research employs a qualitative methodology with document analysis as the primary data collection technique. The study analyses various documents, including government reports, academic journals, publications from international organizations, news articles, and policy documents related to space cooperation. The analysis focuses on international cooperation, satellite launch collaboration, technology development, satellite management, and communication network enhancement. Based on the success of multiple satellite launches and the introduction of satellite internet capable of reaching remote areas, it can be concluded that Indonesia’s collaboration with SpaceX is primarily driven by the technological reliability offered by the company. This partnership not only provides effective and timely access to space but also represents a strategic move that brings Indonesia closer to achieving its national space autonomy. By leveraging SpaceX’s advanced capabilities, Indonesia gains both operational benefits and long-term momentum in developing its independent space infrastructure. Collaboration with SpaceX offers lower costs compared to competitors while enabling the deployment of larger payloads. Beyond rocket launches, the partnership in satellite internet technology has also supported the advancement of Indonesia’s digital ecosystem by significantly reducing connectivity blind spots. This research highlights that international cooperation in the space sector can play a crucial role in driving national progress and innovation.

KONTRIBUSI ASIAN PULP AND PAPER MENGURANGI DEFORESTASI DALAM RANGKA MENDUKUNG SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTS GOALS 13 DAN 15 DI INDONESIA
The reduction of deforestation is a key indicator in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goals 13 (climate action) and 15 (life on land). This study aimed to analyze the contribution of Asia Pulp and Paper (APP) the largest forestry industry company in Indonesia in reducing deforestation through its Sustainability Roadmap Vision 2030 program. A descriptive qualitative approach was used, employing document analysis and content analysis of secondary data. The study adopted Ronald B. Mitchell’s regime effectiveness theory as the main analytical framework, which evaluates non-state actor contributions using three indicators: output, outcome, and impact. The findings showed that APP demonstrated normative alignment with the SDG framework through its zero-deforestation policy, sustainable supply chain certifications, and implementation of technology-based monitoring systems. These achievements were mostly evident at the output level, such as in policy formulation and reporting. However, at the outcome and impact levels, APP’s contributions have not yet been independently verified. This limitation is echoed in critiques from environmental organizations concerning challenges in supply chain monitoring and indigenous community engagement. Overall, the findings suggest that APP’s current role in regime effectiveness lies primarily in establishing normative legitimacy through policy adjustments and reporting systems. These efforts appear to be driven by the company’s independent self-interest—namely, to maintain its reputation, access global markets, and respond to regulatory and normative stakeholder pressures. Nevertheless, the ecological outcomes of these sustainability initiatives remain inconclusive and require further substantiation. Keywords: Asian Pulp and Paper, deforestation, sustainability, SDGs, regime effectiveness

Keywords: UN Women, International Organizations, Gender-Based Violence, Covid-19 Pandemic, South Africa.
UPAYA FOUR PAWS INTERNASIONAL DALAM PERLINDUNGAN KESEJAHTERAAN HEWAN DI JALUR GAZA, PALESTINA
The Gaza Strip is a conflict zone that has long experienced blockades, political instability, and armed violence, leading to an ongoing humanitarian crisis. Not only humans but also animals have become victims of this situation, particularly those in zoos that are left neglected and lacking proper care. Amidst this turmoil, Four Paws International, a non-governmental organization focused on animal welfare, carried out a mission to rescue animals in Gaza during 2018–2019. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach with a non-participatory observation method, using social movement theory and pluralism perspective in international relations as theoretical frameworks. Social movement theory provides an understanding of the processes of mobilization, solidarity, and the formation of global advocacy networks, while the pluralism perspective helps illustrate how non-state actors, such as Four Paws International, can influence international regimes that are typically dominated by states. The study also uses the Five Freedoms framework by the Farm Animal Welfare Council (FAWC) as a benchmark to assess animal welfare standards. The findings show that Four Paws International executed animal rescue efforts through evacuation and medical care methods. The organization successfully evacuated dozens of animals from three zoos in Gaza, all in critical conditions, to wildlife sanctuaries in Jordan and South Africa. With the documented process of evacuation and post-evacuation care conducted by the organization, Four Paws International's mission in Gaza can be categorized as successful. This success is reflected in the physical and mental recovery of the animals, who had previously been exposed to hazardous conditions, ensuring they received better protection after evacuation and demonstrating a significant contribution to animal welfare protection in conflict zones. Keywords: Four Paws International, Gaza, Animal Welfare, Social Movements, Pluralism, Conflict Zon.
IMPLEMENTASI KONVENSI HAK ANAK DI INDONESIA DALAM MENANGANI KASUS PERNIKAHAN DINI DI MASA PANDEMIC
This study explores UNICEF's implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child in addressing early marriage in Indonesia, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite legislative changes through Law Number 16 of 2019, which raised the minimum age for marriage to 19, significant challenges remain. Factors such as poverty, unemployment, and school closures due to social restrictions have actually driven the rise in early marriage, particularly in Asia. This study reviews various efforts undertaken by UNICEF and the Indonesian government through policy analysis, formal education programs, gender equality advocacy, and the implementation of the National Strategy for the Prevention of Child Marriage (STRANAS PPA). The research focuses on how these interventions are implemented, the obstacles they face, and their effectiveness in reducing early marriage rates amidst the pandemic. The results show that although there has been a decline in the number of early marriages following the implementation of the new policy, serious obstacles remain. Lack of public understanding, weak law enforcement, and the socio-economic impact of the pandemic are key inhibiting factors. Therefore, this study recommends stronger collaboration between the government, child protection agencies, and communities to strengthen the protection of children's rights and create more effective strategies for preventing early marriage in the future. Keywords: Implementation, Convention on the Rights of the Child, Pandemic, Early Marriage.
EVALUASI SATU DEKADE STATUS KOTA BANDUNG SEBAGAI CREATIVE CITIES NETWORK
The study was to evaluate Bandung's ten-year trip as a member of the UNESCO creative cities network (uccn) in design categories.

KEPENTINGAN KANADA DALAM PEMBEBASAN AKTIVIS PEREMPUAN SAUDI, SAMAR BADAWI
This study aims to analyze the interests underlying Canada’s involvement in urging the release of Saudi Arabian women’s rights activist Samar Badawi. Using a qualitative approach and case study method, the research examines the dimensions of Canada’s foreign policy grounded in democracy, human rights, and international feminism. Data were collected through literature review of official documents, media reports, and relevant diplomatic statements. The findings reveal that Canada’s support for Samar Badawi was not solely driven by a normative commitment to human rights issues, but also constituted part of a soft power strategy to strengthen its global image as a defender of liberal values. Through public statements, diplomatic notes, and engagement in international forums, Canada sought to assert its position as a consistent advocate of human rights. However, such actions triggered diplomatic tensions with Saudi Arabia, reflecting the dilemma between public diplomacy and moral imperatives. The study concludes that the Samar Badawi case illustrates the practice of value-based public diplomacy intertwined with national strategic interests, while also underscoring the complexity of implementing public diplomacy within the dynamics of global politics.

PERAN INTERNATIONAL LABOUR ORGANIZATION (ILO) DALAM MENGATASI MASALAH PEKERJA ANAK DI INDIA TAHUN 2020-2022
Child labor remains a global issue, particularly in developing countries like India, which recorded significant child labor figures during 2020–2022. The purpose of this study is to analyze the role of the ILO in addressing child labor issues in India during the 2020–2022 period through various programs, technical cooperation, and the ratification of international conventions. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, and data collection techniques Within the theoretical framework, this study utilizes the theory of international organizations as proposed by Clive Archer, which positions international organizations as instruments, arenas, and independent actors within the international system. This theory is relevant to examining how the ILO carries out its functions, both as a tool for member states in formulating policies, as a forum for international actors to interact, and as an independent entity capable of making its own decisions. As an instrument, the ILO runs programs such as the Measurement, Awareness Raising, and Policy Engagement (MAP16), and Policies, Partnerships, Learning & Local Empowerment (PPLL), which support education and community empowerment. As an arena, the ILO provides a forum for discussion, multilateral cooperation, and policy advocacy that encourages the ratification of international conventions related to child labor. As an independent actor, the ILO independently drafted Conventions 138 and 182 and created a specific program to address child labor issues, the International Programme on Elimination of Child Labor (IPEC). Nevertheless, this study found that fundamental challenges—primarily poverty, social inequality, and weak legal implementation—remain major obstacles to the complete elimination of child labor in India.

EKSPOR BRIKET ARANG TEMPURUNG KELAPA INDONESIA KE KOREA SELATAN TAHUN 2019-2020 (Studi Kasus: PT. Tom Cococha Indonesia di Jawa Barat)
Coconut shell charcoal briquettes are a high value-added derivative of coconut cosmmodities, offering strong export potential and significant contributions to national foreign exchange earnings. This study investigates Indonesia’s export prospects for coconut shell charcoal briquettes in the international market, with a particular focus on South Korea—a country with one of the highest charcoal consumption rates in East Asia. The research centers on international trade activities for this product under the Harmonized System (HS) code 440290. A qualitative case study approach was employed, drawing on data from observations, in-depth interviews, literature reviews, and official sources such as Statistics Indonesia (BPS), UN Comtrade, and the International Trade Centre (ITC). The studi showed that Indonesian briquettes are highly competitive in the South Korean market due to their superior properties: high fixed carbon content, low ash levels, stable combustion, and environmentally friendly characteristics. Despite this advantage, significant challenges remain—particularly a shortage of raw materials driven by excessive raw coconut exports and insufficient national regulation governing supply for downstream industries. Additional constraints include logistical bottlenecks and limited shipping access. The study recommends assertive policy intervention to balance raw coconut exports with the development of value-added processing industries, thereby enhancing Indonesia’s position within the global alternative energy supply chain. Keywords: charcoal briquette, coconut shell, export, South Korea, alternative energy, international trade.

The Peace Corps is a United States instrument in Indonesia that focuses on English language teaching programs in rural areas of Indonesia, not only as a means of educational assistance but also as a tool of US foreign diplomacy. Through the concept of non-military, the United States seeks to build a positive image, strengthen bilateral relations, and spread values in partner countries such as Indonesia. This study analyzes the interests of the United States in Indonesia through the Peace Corps in 2021. This analysis uses a qualitative method with the Offensive Realism theory by John J. Mearsheimer, namely that a country will continue to strive to increase its power in strategic areas with military or non-military forces. This study also uses the concept of national interest from Donald E. Nuechterlain. The result of the study show that the United States utilizes the Peace Corps as a strategic instrument to achieve its interests, particularly ideological ones through the dissemination of individualistic and open values, as well as world order interests through strengthening its influence in Southeast Asia. The Peace Corps is also part of the United States' nation-branding strategy on the global stage. Thus, the Peace Corps program is not merely a form of humanitarian cooperation, but rather reflects the United States' foreign policy interests, implemented through a long-term social and cultural approach.

Through hedging, China can adopt a more flexible policies when interacting with the United States. Keywords: Indo-Pacific, China, United States, Hedging
FLUKTUASI VOLUME IMPOR KURMA INDONESIA DARI ARAB SAUDI TAHUN 2019-2023
Dates (Phoenix dactylifera L.) are one of the important agricultural commodities with high economic and cultural value, especially in predominantly Muslim countries. In Indonesia, dates are not only consumed as everyday fruit, but also play a crucial role in religious traditions, especially during the month of Ramadan and the Eid al-Fitr holiday. As a tropical country, Indonesia does not have significant date production capacity to meet domestic needs. Saudi Arabia, as one of the largest date producers in the world with globally recognized quality, has long been Indonesia's main trading partner in this commodity. The formulation of this research is to analyze the factors that may influence changes in import volume and to understand the volume of demand for imported dates in Indonesia. Descriptive analysis is used to illustrate the trend of import volume over time. The theory in this research is the Nation-State Level of Analysis and International Trade Theory. The data used in this research is secondary data in the form of Indonesia's date import volume from Saudi Arabia from 2019 to 2023. The research findings indicate a significant variation in the volume of date imports from Saudi Arabia during the observed period, with peaks tending to occur just before the month of Ramadan. These fluctuations can be influenced by several factors, including changes in date prices in the international market, currency exchange rates, trade policies, domestic consumer demand, as well as logistical and distribution factors. Understanding these fluctuations is important for stakeholders, including importers, distributors, the government, and consumers, to plan better supply and maintain price stability in the domestic market.

UPAYA OPTIMALISASI EKSPOR BUAH MANGGIS INDONESIA KE TIONGKOK MELALUI ASEAN-CHINA FREE TRADE AREA (ACFTA) TAHUN 2021
This research discusses the efforts to optimize the export of Indonesian mangosteen to China through the ASEAN-China Free Trade Area (ACFTA) scheme. As a strategic horticultural commodity, mangosteen has a high economic value and plays a role in supporting the national economy. ACFTA provides a significant opportunity for Indonesia with the elimination of tariff barriers and the reduction of non-tariff barriers, thereby further opening up market access to China. This is a qualitative study with data collection conducted through library research and internet research. The theory used is the theory of comparative advantage. This research also employs a state level of analysis, an approach in international relations that views the state as the main actor and unit of analysis in understanding global political, economic, and security dynamics. The research findings indicate that optimizing the export of Indonesian mangosteen to China through ACFTA requires synergy among the government, exporter associations, and business actors. The efforts that must be made include improving product quality through certification, providing modern post-harvest facilities, supply chain efficiency, and diversifying processed mangosteen products to meet Chinese consumer preferences. With this strategy, Indonesia can not only strengthen its position in the international market but also increase the horticulture sector's contribution to national economic growth.

PERAN UNITED NATIONS HIGH COMMISSIONER FOR REFUGEES (UNHCR) DALAM MENANGANI PENGUNGSIAN AKIBAT PERUBAHAN IKLIM DI PAKISTAN TAHUN 2022-2023
Pakistan is one of the most vulnerable countries due to the effects of climate change. The climate crisis in Pakistan reached its peak in 2022 with nationwide flooding that caused massive losses and damage and triggered a massive internal displacement of the population. Not only did the disaster affect the local population, but it also impacted refugees, particularly Afghan refugees who had long sought protection in Pakistan. UNHCR, as the UN agency with the primary mandate to protect displaced persons, played a strategic role in responding to this crisis. This research aims to analyze how UNHCR handled the displacement caused by the climate disaster in Pakistan in 2022-2023. This research utilized a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques through document analysis. Using Barnett and Finnemore's International Organizations Theory and a Constructivist approach at the group level, this research found that UNHCR plays an important role as an independent actor with the authority to develop programs to be implemented, coordinate with various parties, and address new issues relevant to its primary mandate. The research revealed UNHCR played a major role in implementing the Pakistan: 2022 Flood Response Plan in each sector and in enhancing the resilience of refugees and local populations to climate disasters through climate action programs. The success of UNHCR's role in addressing climate change-induced displacement in Pakistan is demonstrated by the program's high operational achievements, positive beneficiary reviews, and UNHCR's central role in bridging the needs of refugees, host communities, and the global climate agenda. Keywords: United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Climate Change, Displacement, Pakistan, Refugee.
EFEKTIVITAS KERJA SAMA ASEAN DALAM MENGANTISIPASI TINDAK TERORISME
The ASEAN Convention on Counter Terrorism an the ASEAN Comprehensive Plan of Action on Counter Terrorism are the main instruments adopted to strengthen regional cooperation in facing the threat of terrorism. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of ASEAN cooperation through ACPoA-CT and to understand the development of terrorism in the Southeast Asian region as well as the implementation of ACPoA-CT by each ASEAN country. Using qualitative methods, the ACPoA-CT has succeede in strengthening cooperation in the areas intelligence sharing and deradicalization programs, especially in countries with better capacity such as Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore. The effectiveness of counter-terrorism cooperation is still limited due to the imbalance in the capacities of its member countries. Strengthened institutional and multilateral cooperation is needed to address the threat of terrorism in Southeast Asia. Research findings indicate that ACPoA-CT reflects profress in counter-terrorism cooperation in Southeast Asia, but has not yet achieved optimal effectiveness. Within the framework of multilateral cooperation, success is highly dependent on shared commitment and equality. More comprehensive policy improvements and harmonization are needed at the regional level to maintain effective sustainability. Keywords: ACPoA-CT, Effectiveness, Regional Cooperation, Terrorism.

PERAN END CHILD PROSTITUTION, CHILD PORNOGRAPHY & TRAFFICKING OF CHILDREN FOR SEXUAL PURPOSES (ECPAT) INDONESIA DALAM MENANGANI KASUS PELECEHAN SEKSUAL DIGITAL TERHADAP ANAK DI INDONESIA
Cases of digital sexual abuse against children in Indonesia have increased significantly along with the rapid development of technology and internet access. Low levels of digital literacy among children and parents, lack of regulations that specifically regulate digital sexual abuse of children, and weak coordination between the government, law enforcement, and digital platforms have resulted in many cases going unreported or not being handled properly. There is a nongovernmental organization called ECPAT Indonesia that focuses on cases of digital sexual abuse against children. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach and the use of Lewis's Non-Governmental Organization theory, NGOs play a role as implementers, catalysts, and partners. This study will analyze the role of ECPAT Indonesia in dealing with digital child sexual abuse in Indonesia in accordance with its role as an NGO. Primary data was obtained from online interviews with representatives of ECPAT Indonesia and the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF). Secondary data was obtained from journals, books, internal organizational documents, and other related websites. The results of the research show that ECPAT Indonesia plays an important role in advocacy, education, and cooperation with various stakeholders in dealing with online child sexual exploitation. ECPAT Indonesia actively collaborates with various government and non-government institutions, conducts public campaigns, and provides assistance to child victims of online sexual abuse. ECPAT Indonesia continues to strive to protect children in the digital world so that prevention and handling can run effectively.

DAMPAK NEGATIF KEBIJAKAN HUKUM TRANSAKSI SIPIL UNI EMIRAT ARAB (UEA) TERHADAP PEKERJA MIGRAN INDONESIA (PMI)
The rapid development of digital financial technology and the adoption of crypto assets in the global economic system have begun to influence various sectors, including their use as payment methods for migrant workers. The United Arab Emirates (UAE), through the Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA), is one of the countries that has progressively regulated the use of crypto assets in civil transactions, including wage payments for foreign workers. In contrast, Indonesia maintains a conservative approach by classifying crypto as a commodity under the supervision of Bappebti, without a specific framework governing its use in the context of migrant labor. This study employs a qualitative approach using literature review and policy document analysis issued by relevant authorities in both the UAE and Indonesia. The liberal economic theory and the nation-state concept are used to explain how states respond to digital transformation within civil transaction laws and its implications for the protection of migrant workers’ rights. The findings reveal significant negative impacts on Indonesian migrant workers in the UAE, including wage instability, low digital literacy, and Indonesia’s limited legal capacity to protect its workers from crypto-based wage practices. Keywords: Crypto Assets, Civil Transaction Law, Civil Transactions, Migrant Workers, Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority.
PERAN TURKIYE SEBAGAI MEDIATOR TERHADAP KONFLIK RUSIA-UKRAINA TAHUN 2022
The escalating conflict between Russia and Ukraine in 2022 has drawn global attention. Turkey, as a country with geographical proximity and diplomatic relations with both parties, has taken on a significant role as a mediator in efforts to resolve this conflict. This research aims to analyze Turkey's role as a mediator, its effectiveness, and the national interests underlying its involvement. Using qualitative methods and a descriptive-analytical approach, data was collected through a literature study from various secondary sources. The research findings indicate that Turkey has been actively mediating through the organization of diplomatic meetings, facilitation of peace negotiations in Istanbul, and involvement in the Black Sea Grain Export Initiative alongside the UN. Although these efforts have not yet succeeded in halting the conflict entirely, Turkey has managed to open communication channels between the involved parties. In addition to humanitarian factors, Turkey's involvement is also driven by economic interests, domestic political considerations, and geopolitical ambitions as a regional power. This mediation role not only strengthens Turkey's international image but also highlights the importance of diplomacy by neutral states in armed interstate conflicts. Keywords: Turkey, Mediation, Russia-Ukraine Conflict, National Interests.
PERAN END CHILD PORNOGRAPHY AND TRAFFICKING (ECPAT) DALAM MENGATASI TINDAKAN EKSPLOITASI KOMERSIAL PADA ANAK (ESKA) DI SEKTOR PARIWISATA THAILAND
Tourism is a major source of foreign revenue for Thailand, but its nightlife sector is often associated with the Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC), a form of human trafficking. With no single government agency directly addressing this issue, ECPAT has taken on the role of an independent actor to combat CSEC. Using qualitative research from 2018–2023, this study examines how ECPAT fills the state’s gap through policy advocacy, public awareness campaigns, and partnerships with government and private sectors via programs like Down to Zero, Disrupting Harm, and The TUI Academy. Despite its efforts, ECPAT faces challenges such as weak law enforcement, underreporting by victims, limited resources, and resistance from the tourism industry toward child protection initiatives. Keywords: ECPAT, CSEC, Sexual Exploitation, NGO
ANALISIS KUNJUNGAN KERJA DPRD RIAU KE AMERIKA SERIKAT DALAM PENINGKATAN SUMBER DAYA MANUSIA
The working visit of the Riau Provincial House of Representatives (DPRD) to the United States is part of parliamentary diplomacy aimed at improving the capacity of council members in the field of human resource development (HR). Through this activity, the Riau DPRD seeks to gain experience and learn from the practices of education governance and economic development policies in developed countries. The visit is a strategy to expand international cooperation networks and support regional competitiveness in the era of globalization. This study uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews and documentation of archives, news, and official reports. The analysis uses liberalism theory, state level analysis, and parliamentary diplomacy theory to explain the role of the DPRD as a regional diplomacy actor. This approach allows researchers to understand the dynamics of DPRD working visits in the context of international relations and regional development in depth. The results show that the Riau DPRD working visits have strategic value as a means of knowledge transfer and policy exchange between institutions. However, the implementation of these activities has not been fully effective due to weak evaluation mechanisms and follow-up on the results of the visits. A better reporting and transparency system is needed so that overseas visits can produce real policies in improving the quality of human resources in Riau Province. Keywords: Riau DPRD, parliamentary diplomacy, working visits, human resources, regional development.
DAMPAK COVID-19 TERHADAP RANTAI PASOK PERUSAHAAN APPLE INC DI TIONGKOK TAHUN 2019-2023
Covid-19 is an infectious disease caused by a novel coronavirus named SARS-CoV-2. It was first identified in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, in December 2019. The Covid-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the continuity of operations for multinational corporations, particularly those heavily reliant on global supply chains and manufacturing in China. This study examines the case of Apple Inc., where the pandemic has profoundly affected its supply chain, which depends largely on manufacturing hubs in China, especially key partner factories such as Foxconn and Pegatron. Lockdown policies and mobility restrictions led to decreased production capacity, component shortages, shipment delays, and disruptions in the distribution of products to global markets. The health-related restrictions compelled Apple to adapt its operations by strengthening supplier diversification and expanding its manufacturing base to other countries to mitigate the risks of production concentration in a single location. Dunning’s eclectic theory provides a crucial framework for understanding Apple Inc.’s supply chain management strategy during the pandemic. The theory comprises three main components. First, ownership advantage, which refers to the proprietary assets a firm possesses, such as technology, brand, and innovation, that confer unique competitive advantages. Second, location advantage, which encompasses benefits derived from the production site, including robust infrastructure, low-cost skilled labor, and reduced operational expenses. Third, internalization advantage, which involves the firm's benefits from directly managing production processes rather than outsourcing, thereby maintaining greater control and efficiency. This theory elucidates how Apple systematically and structurally managed to sustain its operations and innovate amid a global crisis. Keywords: Apple Inc, Economy, Covid-19 Pandemic, Supply Chain.
KEPENTINGAN SINGAPURA BERINVESTASI DI SEKTOR PARIWISATA PULAU BINTAN
This study aims to analyze Singapore’s interests in investing in the tourism sector of Bintan Island and to identify the actors, policies, and programs involved in the process. Bintan Island, which is geographically close and historically linked to Singapore, holds a strategic position in promoting regional cooperation in investment and tourism. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical method. The theoretical framework includes the Theory of National Interest, State Investment Theory, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Theory, and Economic Liberalism Theory. These theories are used to explain how Singapore’s national policies and economic strategies drive its outward investment expansion, particularly to Bintan Island, as well as how Indonesia’s policies—through the Special Economic Zone (SEZ)—support such investment collaboration. The findings reveal that Singapore’s investment interests in Bintan Island are not solely economic, such as market expansion and tourism development, but also encompass political, geopolitical, and economic diplomacy aspects. This investment strengthens Singapore’s position as a regional economic hub while reinforcing bilateral relations with Indonesia. Moreover, the involvement of various actors—including government bodies, private sectors, and financial institutions—demonstrates that the investment is a synergy of shared policies and mutual interests. Nevertheless, challenges such as local economic disparity, potential foreign dominance, and environmental sustainability issues remain crucial considerations in maintaining the balance of benefits from this cross-border investment. Keywords: Foreign investment, tourism, bilateral relations, national interests.
PERAN UNITED NATIONS POPULATION FUND (UNFPA) DALAM ADVOKASI KESEHATAN REPRODUKSI REMAJA PEREMPUAN DI INDONESIA (2018-2023)
This study examines the role of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) in addressing reproductive health issues among adolescent girls in Indonesia, including risks of early pregnancy, limited access to health services, gender-based violence, and inadequate socialization. Using qualitative descriptive methods and secondary data collection through literature review of annual reports, documents, and official publications from WHO, UNFPA, the Indonesian Ministry of Health, and academic articles related to the BERANI Program (2018-2023), the research applies Clive Archer's theory of International Organizations' Roles. The research findings indicate that UNFPA Indonesia has contributed to the improvement of adolescent reproductive health indicators, such as the decline in child marriage rates from 11.2% in 2018 to approximately 10% in 2022, as well as increased participation of adolescent girls in education and health. The analysis results explain that UNFPA Indonesia serves as an effective instrument providing technical and financial resources, with the BERANI Program advocating for child marriage policies, strengthening sexuality education in schools, and supporting the establishment of youth-friendly clinics (UNALA). This study recommends strengthening cross-sector collaborations to expand the program's impact and reduce challenges in reproductive health interventions. Keywords: Teen reproductive health, UNFPA Indonesia, BERANI Programme
IMPLEMENTASI EXTENDED PRODUCER RESPONSIBILITY (EPR) DI PT. UNILEVER INDONESIA TAHUN 2022-2023
Plastic waste has become an urgent environmental issue in Indonesia due to its rapid growth and adverse impacts on ecosystems. As one of the major producers of single-use plastic packaging in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector, PT Unilever Indonesia contributes significantly to national waste generation. In response to Ministry of Environment and Forestry Regulation (Permen LHK) No. 75 of 2019, as well as external pressures from civil society and global sustainability standards, the company has implemented various initiatives under the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) framework. This research employs the Liberalism perspective, group-level analysis (multinational corporations), and Neo-Institutionalism theory using a qualitative case study method. Data were collected through literature studies from corporate reports, government regulations, academic publications, and environmental organization reports. The findings show that PT Unilever Indonesia, during 2022-2023, implemented EPR through three main strategies: reduce, reuse, and recycle. Programs such as packaging redesign, refill stations, and the use of post-consumer recycled plastic demonstrate the company’s commitment to circular economy principles. However, audits by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK) indicate lower verified results than corporate claims, revealing a gap between internal reporting and government verification. The effectiveness of EPR implementation remains constrained by limited recycling infrastructure, low public participation, and inconsistent reporting methods. The success of EPR in Indonesia ultimately depends on synergy between producer innovation, regulatory oversight, and consumer engagement to strengthen the transition toward a credible circular economy. Keywords: plastic waste, Extended Producer Responsibility, Unilever Indonesia, circular economy, sustainability
PROGRAM BLUE HEART CAMPAIGN UNITED NATIONS OFFICE ON DRUGS AND CRIME (UNODC) DI MEKSIKO TAHUN 2020-2021
Human trafficking is a complex form of human rights violation, particularly in countries with high levels of social inequality like Mexico. One of the groups most vulnerable to this practice is indigenous communities, who are often marginalized both economically and politically. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Blue Heart Campaign by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in Mexico in 2020–2021 and assess the extent to which the program has reached victims from indigenous communities. By using document analysis method and a constructivist perspective, this study examines UNODC's role as an international actor in shaping norms and discourse on human trafficking. The results show that although the campaign has succeeded in raising public awareness of the issue on human trafficking, several limitations remain, such as a lack of ethnically disaggregated data and a lack of culturally sensitive strategies. Collaborative efforts between international organizations, governments, and local communities are needed to design more inclusive and responsive policies to human trafficking cases. Keywords: Human trafficking, UNODC, Blue Heart Campaign, indigenous communities, Mexico
IMPLIKASI KLAIM TERITORIAL TURKI DAN LIBYA MELALUI MoU DELIMITASI MARITIM DI LAUT MEDITERANIA TIMUR
Turkey's territorial claims through maritime delimitation with its neighbors are influenced by the national interests of both countries. Turkey views Libya as a neighbor and partner country that has the opportunity to avoid exclusion from its position in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea region. Maritime issues in the region have led Turkey to adopt an assertive stance in the region. The purpose of this study is to analyze the implications of Turkey and Libya's territorial claims through the MoU on maritime delimitation with Libya in the Eastern Mediterranean region. This study uses qualitative methods, with data collection techniques through document analysis sourced from several relevant and credible books, journals, articles, and websites. This study uses the Complex Interdependence Theory by Joseph Nye and Robert O. Keohane. Complex interdependence between actors or countries in achieving national interests in the region through different policies and rules has led to escalating tensions in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea region. The results of this study show several responses of rejection to the maritime delimitation MoU between Turkey and Libya internationally. Several implications of Turkey and Libya's territorial claims have arisen in relation to maritime disputes between the countries concerned and energy projects planned by regional countries without Turkey and Libya in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, causing ongoing tensions between the countries concerned to this day. Keywords: MoU on Delimitation of the Maritime, National Interest, Eastern Mediterranean Sea.
UPAYA ASEAN REGIONAL FORUM DALAM MENGHADAPI SENGKETA LAUT CINA SELATAN TAHUN 2021-2023
The South China Sea is a strategic area with a high potential for conflict due to overlapping sovereignty claims, particularly China’s unilateral nine-dash line claim, which conflicts with the interests of ASEAN member states. This region holds strategic value not only economically but also geopolitically, as it involves major powers such as the United States. In this context, ASEAN is understood as a Regional Security Complex that seeks to maintain regional stability through a consensus-based mechanism known as the ASEAN Way, emphasizing cooperation, dialogue, and preventive diplomacy. This study employs a qualitative method with a literature review approach and is grounded in the Regional Security Complex Theory (RSCT), which highlights the interconnectedness among states in addressing regional security issues. Through this framework, the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) is analyzed based on four key elements territorial boundaries, anarchic structure, security interaction patterns, and power polarization to understand the security dynamics in Southeast Asia, particularly in the South China Sea. ARF serves to build trust, facilitate preventive diplomacy, and promote regional consensus, although its implementation remains constrained by the principle of non-interference and differing national interests. The findings show that ARF functions as an inclusive dialogue platform through initiatives such as confidence-building measures, maritime meetings, and discussions on the Code of Conduct (CoC). However, concrete results in dispute resolution remain limited due to differing positions among ASEAN members and the influence of strategic rivalry between China and the United States. Thus, ARF’s primary role lies in maintaining diplomatic communication and preventing open conflict escalation, even though it has yet to produce substantive solutions. Keywords: South Cina Sea, ASEAN Regional Forum, Regional Security Complex Theory, Regional Security
PERAN INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE OF THE RED CROSS (ICRC) DALAM MENINGKATKAN PERLINDUNGAN KEMANUSIAAN PADA KONFLIK ROHINGYA DI MYANMAR
The humanitarian crisis in Rakhine State, Myanmar, stems from long-standing structural discrimination, military violence, and mass displacement of the Rohingya ethnic group. In the absence of adequate state protection, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) emerges as a key non-state actor providing essential humanitarian assistance and protection. Using pluralist perspectives and Humanitarian Diplomacy Theory, this study examines how the ICRC fulfills its mandate through negotiation, neutrality, and direct engagement in conflict-affected areas. The findings demonstrate that the ICRC contributes through various programs under the Protection and Assistance Programs, including Water and Habitat, Emergency Relief, Health Assistance, civilian protection, and detention visits. Despite restricted access and unstable security conditions, the ICRC consistently upholds its humanitarian principles. Although it does not resolve the root causes of the conflict, the organization effectively mitigates humanitarian suffering and improves access to basic rights for the remaining Rohingya population in Myanmar. Keywords: ICRC, humanitarian diplomacy, Myanmar conflict.
IMPLEMENTASI EKONOMI SIRKULAR OLEH SIAM CEMENT GROUP (SCG) DI INDONESIA TAHUN 2022-2024
Sustainability issues have become a major challenge for developing countries, including Indonesia, in facing global pressure on environmental and economic management. The adoption of the circular economy concept is considered an essential strategy to reduce waste while enhancing resource efficiency This study employs the Pentahelix theory as its analytical, emphasizing collaboration among five key actors government, academia, business, community, and media in supporting the implementation of the circular economy by SCG. The level of analysis focuses on actor groups to understand the patterns of synergy and the respective roles of each party in promoting sustainability. The methodology used is qualitative with a descriptive-explanatory approach, aiming to describe the phenomenon while explaining the interactions among actors in circular economy practices. The research data are derived from primary sources, such as official SCG publications, and secondary sources, including various literatures and supporting reports to strengthen the analysis. The results indicate that SCG’s implementation of the circular economy is realized through waste management programs, the application of Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF), the reuse of residual materials, the use of renewable energy from biomass, and collaboration with various stakeholders to enhance resource efficiency and reduce waste. These findings show that SCG’s efforts are not solely driven by the company’s internal commitment but are also supported by government initiatives, academic involvement in environmental research, community participation in circular education programs, and the media’s role in raising public awareness. The results demonstrate that the success of SCG’s circular economy implementation is built through cross-sector collaboration that mutually reinforces the development of a sustainable ecosystem in Indonesia. interests, Keywords : Circular Economy, Refuse-Derived Fuel, Waste Management
IMPLEMENTASI KERJA SAMA ANTARA INDONESIA DENGAN KOREA SELATAN DALAM JOINT WORKING GROUP ON HEALTH PASCA PANDEMI COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic underscored health as a non-traditional security issue that directly affects national stability, particularly for Indonesia, which continues to face limitations in health infrastructure and vaccine production capacity. In contrast, South Korea demonstrated stronger crisis management due to adaptive public health strategies and a well-developed biopharmaceutical industry. These differing capacities prompted the strengthening of bilateral cooperation through the Joint Working Group (JWG) on Health in the post-pandemic period. This study aims to examine the implementation of Indonesia–South Korea cooperation under the JWG on Health and identify the factors shaping it. The analysis draws on neoliberalism, Robert O. Keohane’s theory of international cooperation, Budi Winarno’s concept of non-traditional security, and Kenneth Waltz’s levels of analysis. Methodologically, the study applies a qualitative approach using literature-based research guided by Mestika Zed, encompassing academic works, official documents, and international reports. The findings reveal that the JWG on Health has been realized through the establishment of a plasma fractionation facility, joint research initiatives, biopharmaceutical technology transfer, and hospital-to-hospital collaboration. At the individual level, leadership from the Minister of Health and biopharmaceutical industry figures plays a significant role. At the state level, Indonesia focuses on strengthening national health resilience, while South Korea advances pharmaceutical industry expansion and health diplomacy. At the international system level, the pandemic heightened global health interdependence and underscored the need for sustained institutional cooperation. Overall, this collaboration serves as a strategic effort to enhance health resilience, advance health diplomacy, and deepen long-term bilateral ties in the post-pandemic era. Keywords: International cooperation, JWG on Health, Indonesia – South Korea, Neoliberalism, Non-traditional security.
IMPLEMENTASI PROGRAM ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT OF WOMEN THROUGH CLIMATE-SMART AGRICULTURE OLEH UN WOMEN DALAM MENGATASI KRISIS EKONOMI DI KENYA
Women in Kenya face severe economic challenges due to gender inequality and the impacts of climate change that threaten the agricultural sector, particularly in climate-vulnerable regions such as Kitui County. These conditions heighten the vulnerability of small-scale women farmers and underscore the need for international organizations to strengthen their economic resilience. This study employs Clive Archer’s International Organization Theory and the Liberal Institutionalism perspective to analyze the role of UN Women in the Economic Empowerment of Women through Climate-Smart Agriculture program in Kenya. The research adopts a qualitative literature-based method through analysis of official reports, policy documents, and academic sources. The findings demonstrate that UN Women effectively functions as an independent actor that enhances multilateral cooperation and promotes women’s economic empowerment through climate-smart agricultural practices. The program has improved women’s adaptive capacity, income levels, and participation in sustainable development across Kenya. These results highlight the importance of gender-responsive international cooperation in addressing the economic and climate crises affecting women in vulnerable communities. Keywords: UN Women, Women’s Empowerment, Climate-Smart Agriculture, Liberal Institutionalism.

PERAN INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE OF THE RED CROSS (ICRC) DALAM PENANGGULANGAN KORBAN KONFLIK BERSENJATA PADA MASA INVASI RUSIA-UKRAINA
The study discussed the role of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in handling victims of armed conflict during the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022-2023. The invasion generated a humanitarian crisis characterized by increasing civil casualties, waves of refugees, and violation of international humanitarians' laws. The research methods used are qualitative descriptive results in library studies and official document analysis of icrc, the UN report, and other relevant sources. The framework of the theory used is the perspective of pluralism and the theory of the international organization Clive Archer to explain the position of icrc as an independent actor in the norms, socialization, and operational functions of humanity. Studies have shown that icrc carried out civil evacuations, relief distribution, provision of health services, and visits on prisoners of war. However, icrc faces challenges of limited access, security risk, and conflict resistance. The study highlights the importance of international support to strengthen the capacity of icrc to ensure humanitarian protection during the russian-ukrainian conflict. Keywords: Armed Conflict, ICRC, Invasion, Russia, Ukraine.
REVITALISASI PROGRAM NUSA TENGGARA ASSOCIATION (NTA) DALAM PENANGGULANGAN KEMISKINAN DI KABUPATEN SIKKA, NUSA TENGGARA TIMUR TAHUN 2020-2024
Sikka Regency, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), is a region facing complex poverty challenges, exacerbated by its dry agro-ecological conditions and the limitations of government development programs. In this context, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) such as the Nusa Tenggara Association (NTA) play a crucial role. This research aims to analyze the revitalization of NTA's efforts in alleviating poverty in Sikka during the 2020–2024 period. Using a qualitative research method with a case study approach, data were collected through a literature review of NTA reports and in-depth interviews with NTA staff at both central and field levels. The analysis was conducted using David Lewis's theory of NGO roles (implementer, catalyst, partner) and a constructivist perspective. The findings reveal a strategic shift in NTA's approach, moving from a predominantly distributive model (aid provision) to the transfer of adaptive, sustainable agricultural technology. This revitalization included introducing grafting techniques for rejuvenating cocoa and cashew trees, developing horticulture based on rainwater harvesting tanks and bokashi compost, and modernizing pig farming through hygienic stalls and an artificial insemination (AI) program. NTA's role evolved from merely an implementer to a catalyst for change and a strategic partner for the government. The formal collaboration with the Agricultural Technology Assessment Institute (BPTP)/BRIN proved effective, with innovations initiated by NTA later being adopted by local government programs. This demonstrates NTA's success in influencing local development practices, contributing to an increase in the income of assisted households and a reduction in Sikka's overall poverty rate.

PERAN THE GLOBAL FUND DALAM ELIMINASI TUBERKULOSIS DI PROVINSI RIAU TAHUN 2023
This study provides an in-depth analysis of the role of The Global Fund in supporting the elimination of Tuberculosis (TB) in Riau Province in 2023. Indonesia ranks as the country with the second-highest TB burden in the world after India, and Riau is among the provinces contributing significantly to the national TB case load. This condition is driven by limited access to healthcare services, inadequate local health system capacity, persistent social stigma, and low public awareness regarding TB transmission and treatment. These challenges highlight the importance of international assistance, particularly from The Global Fund, in accelerating efforts toward TB elimination at the regional level. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method through a literature study and document analysis to examine the forms, mechanisms, and impacts of The Global Fund’s interventions in Riau. The analytical framework is supported by Global Governance Theory, which explains the dynamics of multi-actor health governance. The findings reveal that The Global Fund plays a strategic role through financial contributions, capacity-building programs for health workers, provision of diagnostic tools and essential medicines, as well as community-based education and outreach. These interventions contributed to an increase in TB treatment coverage in Riau, reaching 56% in 2023. However, the study also identifies several obstacles, including geographical challenges, limited community engagement, strong societal stigma, and the region’s dependency on international funding and technical support. Keywords: The Global Fund, Tuberculosis, Riau, Global Governance.

IMPLEMENTASI PERATURAN PRESIDEN NOMOR 12 TAHUN 2021 TENTANG PENGADAAN BARANG/JASA PEMERINTAH DI BIRO PENGADAAN BARANG DAN JASA PROVINSI RIAU TAHUN 2023
Government procurement of goods and services remains one of the sectors most prone to corruption nationwide, despite continuous updates and adjustments to procurement policies in response to the development of digitalization. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the implementation process of Presidential Regulation No. 12 of 2021 and the challenges encountered in the procurement of goods and services by the Procurement Bureau of Riau Province. The analysis in this study refers to Charles O. Jones’ theory of implementation, which includes three key indicators: organization, interpretation, and application. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, using interview and documentation techniques for data collection. The findings reveal several issues, including the limited capacity of human resources within the Procurement Bureau of Riau Province, inadequate understanding of procurement processes among personnel, and resistance to regulatory changes among procurement stakeholders. Furthermore, the absence of updated Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) related to procurement has hindered the synchronization between current regulations and practical implementation. To optimize the implementation of this policy, it is essential to strengthen the capacity of government officials, improve technological infrastructure, enhance coordination among stakeholders, and simplify the bureaucratic implementation of Presidential Regulation No. 12/2021. Keywords: Implementation, Procurement of Goods and Services, Good Governance.

In the effective management of Village-Owned Enterprises, laws and government regulations serve as a reference for maintaining the sustainability of these enterprises, ensuring they remain optimal. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach to gain an in-depth understanding of the real-world conditions in the field. The data collection techniques employed include in-depth interviews with Village-Owned Enterprise managers, direct observation of operational activities, and documentation studies related to regulations and financial reports. The collected data were analyzed using thematic analysis techniques to identify important patterns related to organizational capabilities. The results of the study indicate that the organizational capabilities of the Ngaso Mandiri Village-Owned Enterprise still face various challenges in four main aspects. In terms of knowledge and skills, managers do not fully understand regulations, financial accounting, risk management, and recording technology, which results in administrative errors and low efficiency. In terms of technical systems, although SOPs have been prepared, their implementation has not been optimal due to weak supervision and the use of a manual recording system that is prone to errors. The managerial system aspect shows income instability weak internal coordination and a lack of strong leadership, although there have been efforts to improve through limited digitalization. Meanwhile, in terms of values and norms, transparency and accountability have not been fully achieved due to limited data access and suboptimal real-time reporting, although there is a strong commitment to the values of honesty and cooperation.

RELASI EKSEKUTIF DAN LEGISLATIF DALAM PENETAPAN APBD KABUPATEN KUANTAN SINGINGI TAHUN ANGGARAN 2024
The timely establishment of the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD) is a primary prerequisite for maintaining the continuity of development and public services in the region. Delays in the establishment of the APBD, such as that which occurred in Kuantan Singingi Regency for the 2024 Fiscal Year, indicate serious problems in the relationships between local government institutions. The delay in establishing the APBD has become an important issue as it can hinder the implementation of development programs and public services in the area. This study aims to explain the relationship between the executive and legislative branches in the establishment of the APBD for the 2024 fiscal year in Kuantan Singingi Regency. The method used in this research is qualitative with a descriptive approach. Data collection techniques include interviews, documentation, and literature studies. This study utilizes interaction theory according to Stone, which is divided into four types: decisional, anticipated reaction, nondecisional making, and systemic. Research findings indicate that delays in the establishment of the regional budget (APBD) are influenced by several factors, including personal and institutional relationships between the executive and legislative branches, as well as local political dynamics. Disharmonious relationships among political elites and differing interests are major obstacles in reaching agreements related to the APBD. Conflicts regarding the proposed budget amounts are the primary cause of delays, exacerbated by weak institutional communication and the inability to build political consensus. In conclusion, the delay in the establishment of the 2024 fiscal year APBD in Kuantan Singingi Regency stems from disharmonious relationships among local government agencies, which necessitates strengthening coordination mechanisms and improving political communication capacity in the budget preparation process in the future.

IMPLEMENTASI SISTEM PEMERINTAHAN BERBASIS ELEKTRONIK (SPBE) MELALUI APLIKASI KLIK PELALAWAN OLEH PEMERINTAH KABUPATEN PELALAWAN TAHUN 2022-2024
This research discusses the implementation of the Electronic-Based Government System (SPBE) through the Klik Pelalawan Application by the Pelalawan Regency Government from 2022 to 2024. The issue addressed in this study is that the Klik Pelalawan application is still Android-based and many features remain inaccessible. The aim of this research is to understand the implementation of the Electronic-Based Government System (SPBE) through the Klik Pelalawan Application by the Pelalawan Regency Government in the years 2022–2024. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with interview and documentation techniques, and refers to the e-government implementation theory by Richardus Eko Indrajid (2002), which includes content development, competency development, connectivity, legal framework and instruments, collaboration, and project funding. The results of the study show that the implementation of the Klik Pelalawan application is underway but still not optimal. In terms of content development, the application has been well designed, but several issues remain. In terms of competency development, recruitment has been based on expertise, training has been provided, and appreciation has been given, although training remains insufficient. Regarding connectivity, the application was developed based on legal regulations concerning SPBE. As a result, a regent regulation was established to provide technical guidelines for the use of the Klik Pelalawan application and to ensure identity security. In terms of collaboration, the government has jointly operated the application, but socialization efforts remain lacking. Finally, in terms of project funding, there is no specific budget allocation designated for the application. Keywords: Klik Pelalawan Application, E-Government Implementation, SPBE
PELAKSANAAN PROGRAM DESA MAJU INDRAGIRI HILIR JAYA PLUS TERINTEGRASI OLEH PEMERINTAH DESA PENGALIHAN KECAMATAN KERITANG KABUPATEN INDRAGIRI HILIR TAHUN 2023
This study discusses the implementation of the Desa Maju Indragiri Hilir Jaya (DMIJ) Plus Terintegrasi Program by the Village Government of Pengalihan, Keritang District, Indragiri Hilir Regency in 2023. Despite ongoing issues related to both physical and non-physical development in Pengalihan Village, a significant portion of the DMIJ Plus Terintegrated Program's budget in 2023 was allocated to village governance activities. As a result, community involvement in the program's activities remained limited. The aim of this research is to examine the implementation of the DMIJ Plus Terintegrated Program by the Village Government of Pengalihan in 2023 and to identify the influencing factors. This study employs a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis. The data used consist of primary data collected through interviews with informants, and secondary data obtained from relevant documents. Data collection techniques include interviews and documentation. The research applies David C. Korten’s program implementation theory, which emphasizes three main elements: program appropriateness, implementing organization, and target group (beneficiaries). The findings reveal that the program was primarily focused on the operational aspects of village governance, while physical development and community empowerment remained limited due to budget constraints. Organizationally, the structure was in place, but the quality of human resources was still low. From the target group perspective, community participation was lacking due to limited understanding and direct involvement. Overall, the program implementation has not been optimal and has yet to fully address the community's needs. A more participatory approach, enhanced capacity of village apparatus, and strengthened budget management are necessary to ensure more effective and sustainable program implementation.

PENGAWASAN BADAN PERMUSYAWARATAN DESA (BPD) TERHADAP KINERJA KEPALA DESA DALAM PEMBANGUNAN DESA KUALA SEMUNDAM KECAMATAN PETALANGAN KABUPATEN PELALAWAN TAHUN 2023
This research is motivated by the essential role of the Village Consultative Body (BPD) in supervising the administration of village governance, particularly in ensuring that village development is carried out in accordance with planning and community needs. The problem addressed in this study is how the BPD exercises its supervisory function over the performance of the Village Head in the development of Kuala Semundam Village, as well as the factors that influence the effectiveness of that supervision. The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the implementation of BPD’s supervisory role over the Village Head’s performance and the obstacles faced in its execution. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method, with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The theoretical framework employed is Simbolon's theory of supervision, which includes internal, preventive, and repressive supervision in the execution of duties to achieve certain objectives. The results of the study indicate that the supervision carried out by the BPD over the Village Head’s performance is still not optimal. This is due to several factors, including supervision that is mostly limited to meetings without direct field observation, and a lack of understanding among BPD members regarding their supervisory functions and responsibilities. In addition, there are inhibiting factors such as limited time, inadequate resources, and a passive work culture. Therefore, there is a need to enhance the capacity and awareness of BPD members so that their supervisory role can be carried out more effectively in supporting the overall development of the village.

PERAN PEMERINTAH KOTA PEKANBARU UNTUK MENINGKATKAN PARTISIPASI MASYARAKAT DALAM MENGURANGI SAMPAH DI KECAMATAN MARPOYAN DAMAI TAHUN 2023
The government plays a very important role in increasing community participation in waste reduction. As a regulator, the government is responsible for formulating policies that support sustainable waste management. As a dynamizer, the government plays a role in encouraging community involvement through socialization and education. Meanwhile, as a facilitator, the government must ensure the availability of adequate facilities and infrastructure to support the waste management system. This study aims to analyze the extent of the government's role in increasing community participation in waste management in Marpoyan Damai District, Pekanbaru City. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documentation studies. The results of the study show that the government has issued various policies, such as Regional Regulation No. 18 of 2008 concerning Waste Management and Pekanbaru Mayor Regulation No. 6 of 2023 concerning the Reduction of Plastic Bag Use. However, in its implementation, there are still various obstacles, such as a lack of policy socialization and low public awareness of sorting and managing waste. As a facilitator, the government has implemented various programs, such as awareness campaigns on reducing plastic waste, waste bank programs, awareness campaigns on reusing used items, awareness campaigns on Eco Enzymes, and others. However, public participation remains suboptimal due to insufficient education and lack of coordination with private sector entities and environmental communities. As a facilitator, the government has provided waste management facilities; however, in terms of reduction, these are still inadequate and do not fully meet community needs. Therefore, more innovative and collaborative strategies, as well as enhanced supervision and awareness campaigns, are needed to ensure that existing policies are implemented more effectively and encourage the community to be more active in waste reduction. The conclusion of this study is that the government's role in increasing community participation is still not optimal, as seen from the facilitator indicator.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of Bengkalis Regent Regulation Number 47 of 2022 concerning Dismantling Guarantees in Advertising Implementation and its impact on increasing Regional Original Income (PAD) in Bengkalis Regency. This regulation is a regional policy instrument that aims to regulate advertising order and guarantee the contribution of the advertising sector to PAD. The research approach used is qualitative with a case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and documentation of the implementation of policies in the field, especially by the Investment and One-Stop Integrated Service Office (DPMPTSP), the Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda), and advertising business actors. The results of the study show that the implementation of the Regent Regulation still faces various challenges, including limited human resources, low compliance of business actors, and weak supervision and coordination between agencies. However, this policy has the potential to increase PAD if supported by consistent law enforcement, digitalization of licensing, and ongoing socialization to the community and business actors. With improvements in the implementation aspect, Regent Regulation Number 47 of 2022 can be a strategic instrument in optimizing the contribution of the advertising sector to regional finances.

Law enforcement against unlicensed industrial activities is a crucial aspect of the supervisory function of local governments, particularly in maintaining environmental governance and ensuring compliance with legal regulations. This study aims to analyze the law enforcement efforts undertaken by the Regional Government of Pelalawan Regency against palm oil mills operating without permits in 2022. The research focuses on the forms of law enforcement implemented, the inhibiting factors within the enforcement process, and the impact of such efforts on the existence of illegal palm oil mills in the region. The research uses a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through interviews and documentation. The main obstacles identified include overlapping authority among institutions, limited capacity of local law enforcement personnel, weak supervision, and the influence of local political and economic interests. Based on these findings, law enforcement efforts must be improved through local regulatory reforms, strengthening the oversight function, and fostering stronger synergy between government institutions and law enforcement agencies. The results indicate that the Regional Government of Pelalawan Regency has undertaken several measures, such as issuing warning letters, suspending operations, and referring cases to law enforcement bodies. However, the implementation of these enforcement measures has not been optimal due to various challenges, including weak inter-agency coordination, limited human and financial resources, and interference from vested interests. Although regulations concerning business licensing are relatively clear, their enforcement remains ineffective in practice. Keyword :Government Law enforcement, Licensing, Benefit, Justice
KOORDINASI PEMERINTAH DALAM PERCEPATAN PENANGGULANGAN KEMISKINAN EKSTREM DI KABUPATEN SIAK TAHUN 2022-2023
Extreme poverty is a condition where a person cannot meet their basic needs. This poverty problem is a complex issue that requires cooperation and coordination. Coordination teams were formed to improve coordination in the field of regional poverty alleviation, namely the Provincial TKPK and the Regency TKPK. The Siak Regency Government established a Poverty Alleviation Coordination Team which carries out the function of coordinating the regional government in accelerating extreme poverty alleviation. The problem in this study is the decrease in the number of extreme poverty in Siak Regency from 2022 to 2023, namely from 6.42 thousand people or 1.27% to 2.79 thousand people or 0.54%. In addition, this acceleration of poverty alleviation still faces several challenges, especially in terms of coordination. The purpose of this study is to determine government coordination in accelerating extreme poverty alleviation in Siak Regency in 2022-2023. The theory used in this study is the coordination theory. The research approach used was qualitative. The type of research employed was descriptive research. The research location was in Siak Regency. The data types were primary and secondary. Primary data was obtained directly from informants, while secondary data was supporting data in the form of documents related to the research problem. Data collection techniques included interviews and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using qualitative analysis. The results of this study are that government coordination carried out by the Poverty Alleviation Coordination Team of Siak Regency has been running quite well by implementing unity of action, communication, division of labor and discipline. However, from several indicators, shortcomings are still found, such as in terms of communication where there are still many TKPK members who only attend meetings if their agency is involved, in terms of division of labor, there are still more assistance given than empowerment and in terms of discipline it cannot be said to be optimal, this is because the TKPK does not have written standard operating procedures, so from these shortcomings it is hoped that the TKPK can improve it so that in the future it can really accelerate the reduction of extreme poverty in Siak Regency.

This study discusses the existence of approximately 91 HA of 110 HA of land located in the Alim Village area, Batang Cenaku District, Inhu Regency, Riau Province. The land was seized by PT Tasma Puja and is located in Kepayang Sari Village, Batang Cenaku District. The government did not immediately determine the boundary between Kepayang Sari Village and Alim Village. The government's efforts to mediate the conflict have not been successful so far and NGOs and Alim Village feel that the local government is siding with PT Tasma Puja, resulting in violence and threats of land occupation by the community.

Tasma Puja and the community to find the best solution. Keywords: Role of Local Government, Conflict Resolution, PT. Tasma Puja, Aim Village, Kepayang
PERAN PEMERINTAH DESA DALAM PEMBERDAYAAN MASYARAKAT DI DESATAPUNG JAYA KECAMATAN TANDUN KABUPATEN ROKAN HULU TAHUN 2021
The village government plays a role in facilitating the community and providing appropriate guidance regarding the development and empowerment objectives to be implemented. The community contributes ideas, energy, and even material resources to ensure the success of empowerment and development. The village government plays a role in implementing community empowerment activities. An example of this empowerment is goat farming. The problem in this research is the suboptimal performance of the Tapung Jaya village government in carrying out its role as a village government. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of the Tapung Jaya village government in optimizing the village community empowerment program through goat farming and to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors in implementing its role as a village government. This study refers to the theory of the role of village government according to Isbandi Rukmianto (2013), namely community empowerment through the Preparation Stage, Assessment Stage, Alternative Planning Stage, Action Plan Formalization Stage, Implementation Stage, Evaluation Stage, and Termination Stage. This research is a descriptive qualitative study with primary and secondary data sources. Data collection techniques used were interviews and documentation. Data analysis techniques were Data Reduction, Data Presentation, and Conclusion Drawing. The results of this study indicate that the role of the Tapung Jaya village government as the main driver in community empowerment activities in Tapung Jaya Village is not optimal, such as the lack of funds and other infrastructure such as skills training, participation, unclear goat farming management, and the existence of inhibiting factors in implementing the government's role in Tapung Jaya Village, Tandun District, Rokan Hulu Regency.

DINAMIKA PENYELESAIAN SENGKETA LIMA DESA DARI ROKAN HULU KE KABUPATEN KAMPAR PROVINSI RIAU TAHUN 2010-2017
Regional expansion is basically an effort to create an effective and efficient government, as well as effective in order to realize the acceleration of improving people's welfare. Thus, the development and development of regional autonomy today is able to develop initiatives to foster new forces in society. In addition, to bring services closer to the community and create more effective supervision control. However, in expansion, of course there are disputes. One of the disputes over the boundaries of the Regency is the Five Villages Dispute between Kampar Regency and Rokan Hulu Regency. This dispute came to the surface when there was a lawsuit letter from the Chairman of the Village Consultative Body (BPD) of Five Villages, Tapung Hulu District, Kampar Regency on May 20, 2010. This study aims to find out what causes the conflict between Kampar Regency and Rokan Hulu Regency and to find out the legal aspects of dispute resolution in five villages between Kampar Regency and Rokan Hulu Regency. The research method used is normative juridical. That is, by collecting primary legal materials, primary legal materials are legal materials that have authority (authoritative). The results of this study show that the Supreme Court's decision only cancels the Decree of the Minister of Home Affairs and there is no decision stating that five villages are included in the Kampar Regency area. After the issuance of this Supreme Court decision, the status of five villages is still floating because in Article 4 of Law 53 of 1999 it is still stated that Rokan Hulu Regency has seven sub-districts, one of which is Kunto Darussalam District. Likewise, Permendagri No. 56 of 2015 which included five villages in the Kampar Regency area can still be sued. So, the settlement of the dispute in five villages with the issuance of Permendagri No. 56 of 2015 does not solve the root of the problem.

KEBIJAKAN PENYELENGGARAAN PERPARKIRAN DI KOTA PEKANBARU TAHUN 2021-2023
This study aims to analyze the policy and obstacles faced by the Pekanbaru City Government in implementing the parking retribution policy and to provide recommendations to enhance its effectiveness. The research employs a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews conducted with relevant officials, particularly those in the Parking Management Unit (UPT Perpakiran) of Pekanbaru City. The study is based on George Edward III’s implementation theory, which consists of four key indicators: communication, resources, disposition (attitude), and bureaucratic structure. The findings reveal several major challenges in implementing the parking retribution policy, including insufficient dissemination of information to parking attendants, inadequate supervision, and low public awareness regarding the importance of parking regulations. Additionally, the management of facilities and human resources remains a challenge in ensuring optimal parking services. To address these issues, this study recommends several measures, such as increasing public outreach and training programs for parking attendants, leveraging technology for more efficient supervision, and conducting educational campaigns to raise public awareness of the benefits of parking retribution for urban development. Enhancing communication between parking coordinators and attendants is also crucial to minimizing miscommunication and improving compliance. It is expected that the findings of this study can serve as valuable input for the Pekanbaru City Government in formulating more effective policies for parking management and local revenue enhancement.

This study discusses how to implement the Kuantan Singingi Regent Regulation Number 74 of 2020 concerning the Regional Action Plan for the Reduction and Elimination of Mercury. The problem in this study is that there are still many activities of Unlicensed Gold Miners (PETI) that use mercury in Kuantan Hilir Seberang District. Furthermore, Unauthorized Gold Miners (PETI) who use Mercury have resulted in river flow pollution in Kuantan Hilir Seberang District. This research uses a qualitative method through descriptive analysis This research aims to analyze the implementation of Regent Regulation Number 74 of 2020 concerning the Regional Action Plan for Mercury Reduction and Elimination. The theory of policy implementation used as the basis of analysis is the theory of Merilee S. Grindle, which emphasizes that the success of implementation is influenced by two main variables, namely the content of policy and the context of implementation. The results of the study show that the implementation of this policy has not been running optimally. In terms of policy content, it was found that the implementation apparatus, especially the Environment Agency, did not have adequate technical and administrative readiness. This unpreparedness is reflected in the unavailability of training, lack of understanding of the substance of the policy, and the absence of technical implementation instructions as an operational reference. Meanwhile, from the aspect of the implementation environment, the main obstacles lie in the limitation of budget allocation, weak cross-sector coordination between implementing agencies, and low commitment of implementers at the technical and structural levels.

UPAYA SATUAN TUGAS SAPU BERSIH MENANGANI PUNGUTAN LIAR ANGKUTAN JALAN DI KOTA DUMAI TAHUN 2021-2023
This thesis was motivated by the fact that many ministries/regional governments have not yet established a task force to eradicate extortion, the lack of public support for the task force in carrying out its duties to eradicate extortion in public services, and the lack of public reports. The task force will operate if it receives reports from the public. The purpose of this thesis is to determine the efforts of the Dumai City government's anti-extortion task force in 2021-2023 and to identify the inhibiting factors in the task force's efforts.

KETERWAKILAN PEREMPUAN DI DPRD KABUPATEN BENGKALIS PERIODE 2024-2029
ABSTRACT Democracy guarantees equal rights for every citizen to be involved in politics. Women's representation is an important component in a country, especially in the legislative institution. In accordance with Law Number 7 of 2023 concerning General Elections, women's representation in legislative elections should have the same rights as men's representation and does not need to use the "at least" 30% limit. Women's representation in the Bengkalis Regency DPRD is still relatively low, therefore this study aims to describe the factors causing the low representation of women in the Bengkalis Regency DPRD for the 2024-2029 period. This study uses a qualitative approach method with a descriptive research type. The location of the study is in the Bengkalis Regency DPRD. Data collection techniques through interviews and documentation. Data analysis refers to the Theory of Asmaeny Azis regarding the factors causing low female representation in the DPRD which consists of four indicators, namely the Election System, the Role of Political Parties, Cultural Acceptance, and the Quality of Human Resources. The results of the study show that the low representation of women in the Bengkalis Regency DPRD ffor the 2024-2029 period is caused by several main factors. The formal open proportional election system provides equal oppurtunities for man and women, however, in reality, this election system makes it difficult for women to compete. The role of political parties has also not been fully maximized, parties in nominating women only fulfill the 30% quota. Malay culture in Bengkalis Regency is relatively open to women, even its leader is a woman, but patriarchal views and the dominance of masculinity remain challenges for women. With this research, it is hoped that there will be better changes made by the government, political parties, society, women, and women’s organizations so that women’s representation in the DPRD can be greater.

Digital transformation in public services has become a primary focus of the government to enhance efficiency, transparency, and accountability within the bureaucracy. One notable form of this transformation is the implementation of electronic land certificates by the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN), including at the Land Office of Pekanbaru City. This study aims to analyze the transformation carried out by the government in providing electronic certificate services and to evaluate its impact on the quality of land services from 2023 to 2024. The analysis is based on the transformation theory that emphasizes four key aspects mindset transformation, structural transformation, empowerment, and renewal. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through interviews and document studies. The data are analyzed using the transformation theory proposed by Gouillart and Kelly, focusing on the four aforementioned dimensions, aimed at improving service efficiency, transparency, and accountability. The findings indicate that the transformation of land services through digitalization has facilitated easier access, accelerated administrative processes, and reduced land-related fraud and mafia practices. However, several challenges remain, including technological infrastructure readiness, public digital literacy, and resistance from certain stakeholders. This study recommends enhancing human resource training, strengthening data security systems, and conducting more extensive public outreach to optimize the implementation of electronic land certificates. Furthermore, it is suggested to develop a decentralized data validation application that does not rely solely on a centralized master system. To improve land data quality, collaboration with local sub-district and village offices is also recommended to accelerate data validation processes, thereby supporting the effective issuance of electronic land certificates in the future.

This study aims to analyze the political strategy of the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) in its efforts to increase its seat count in the Rokan Hilir Regency Regional Representative Council (DPRD) in the 2019 Legislative Election. The study focuses on the party's offensive and defensive strategies, as well as the supporting and inhibiting factors influencing their success. The research method used was a qualitative approach, with data collection techniques through interviews and documentation.The results indicate that PKS implemented an offensive strategy through expanding its voter base, penetrating relevant local issues, recruiting potential legislative candidates, and employing creative digital and volunteer-based campaigns. Meanwhile, its defensive strategy involved consolidating its loyalist base, strengthening its cadre network, and maintaining emotional connections with regular voters through social and religious programs. The success of this strategy is reflected in the significant increase in PKS's seat count, from one seat in the 2014 election to four seats in the 2019 election (KPU data, 2019).Despite this, PKS also faced several obstacles, such as limited campaign funds and the strong dominance of major parties like PDI-P, Golkar, and Nasdem, which already had established political bases in Rokan Hilir. However, through an intensive and consistent grassroots approach, PKS succeeded in penetrating some strategic voter bases, particularly among religious communities and youth.This study concludes that PKS's success in increasing its electability and political representation in Rokan Hilir was the result of a comprehensive strategy, adaptive to local dynamics, and supported by the militancy of party cadres and volunteers. These findings are expected to serve as a reference for other political parties in formulating winning strategies in this competitive region Keyword: Political strategy, Prosperous Justice Party, 2019 Election, Rokan Hilir, base consolidation, political campaign.

As one of the goals of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), namely "no poverty," the government’s role is highly emphasized. The Social Affairs Office of Pekanbaru City, as the government agency responsible for addressing this issue, holds an important and strategic role in poverty alleviation in Pekanbaru. This study aims to examine the role of the Social Affairs Office of Pekanbaru City in poverty alleviation to achieve the SDGs in 2023.

MANAJEMEN PEMERINTAHAN DALAM PEMUNGUTAN PAJAK SARANG BURUNG WALET OLEH BADAN PENDAPATAN DAERAH KABUPATEN INDRAGIRI HILIR TAHUN 2023
This research is motivated by the suboptimal implementation of the potential swallow's nest tax collection on the Regional Original Revenue (PAD) of Indragiri Hilir Regency. Regional Original Revenue (PAD) is one of the regional government's financial resources in implementing regional autonomy. The relationship between government management in swallow's nest tax collection is the discrepancy between the set target and the actual revenue, indicating problems in governance or management, ranging from planning, organization, implementation, and supervision. The Regional Revenue Agency is a regional apparatus directly responsible for the tasks and functions supporting government affairs in the field of regional revenue management/management of regional taxes and levies. The purpose of this research is to determine how the Regional Revenue Agency of Indragiri Hilir Regency managed the swallow's nest tax collection in 2023. The research location is in Indragiri Hilir Regency, specifically at the Regional Revenue Agency office. This study uses Taliziduhu Ndraha's Government Management Theory, which encompasses four indicators: government planning, organization of government resources, utilization of government resources, and government oversight. The study found that the government management carried out by the Indragiri Hilir Regency Regional Revenue Agency in 2023 appears to be ineffective and inefficient. This may occur because the government management carried out has not met the indicators of government management, starting from government planning, organization and utilization of government resources, and government oversight, which has not been implemented. Consequently, it cannot achieve its government goals, namely the target realization of swallow's nest tax revenue in 2023. Keywords: Government Management, Collection, Tax
IMPLEMENTASI KEBIJAKAN OLEH UPT PERLINDUNGAN PEREMPUAN DAN ANAK (PPA) DI KOTA PEKANBARU TERHADAP PENANGANAN ANAK KORBAN KEKERASAN DALAM RUMAH TANGGA TAHUN 2023
This research is motivated by domestic violence, particularly violence against children. This is because many child victims or other family members do not report the violence they experience. Children are a trust and a gift from God Almighty, who must always be protected because they are inherently endowed with dignity, and human rights that must be upheld. Child protection is not only the responsibility of the government, but also of parents and the community. Given the limited budget and human resources available in relevant agencies, it is hoped that the community and parents will also increase their awareness of providing child protection. This research was conducted at the Technical Implementation Unit for the Protection of Women and Children (PPA) in Pekanbaru City. The purpose of this study was to describe the implementation of the PPA Technical Implementation Unit's duties in handling child victims of domestic violence in 2023. This study used a qualitative approach and descriptive research. Data collection techniques were conducted through interviews and documentation. This study utilized George C. Edward III's Implementation Theory, with indicators of communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The research found that the implementation of tasks in handling reported cases is suboptimal. This is due to several obstacles, including a lack of human resources, inadequate facilities and infrastructure for program implementation, and limited budget. The implementation of the Technical Implementation Unit (UPT PPA) still faces challenges that require cross-sectoral attention. More intensive coordination is needed between the UPT PPA (Principal Implementation Unit) and related agencies to strengthen the protection system and expedite the response to each report of domestic violence. These findings are expected to provide evaluation material and considerations in formulating more effective and responsive policies for the protection of child victims of domestic violence.

This research used a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through interviews, documentation, and literature studies. The results showed that the budget allocation in the sub-sector of village information development was ineffective. The planned activities were not implemented, thus the objectives were not achieved, the timing was not appropriate, the benefits were not felt by the community, and the program targets were not met. The main obstacles faced included a lack of understanding among officials, minimal technical assistance from the district and provincial governments, and no support from third parties. The budget allocation in the sub-sector of village information development in Nagari Simpang Kapuak in 2023 was deemed ineffective. Although the program was removed, overall there was a slight increase in the total income and expenditure of Nagari Simpang Kapuak from 2023 to 2024, and in 2024, no sub-fields were unrealized, indicating efforts to improve budget effectiveness.

The planning function has been implemented through business programs such as digital printing and ecoprint batik training, but has not yet reached its full potential for tourism. The organization is structured, but lacks strong continuity among management. The implementation of business activities shows high community participation, but consistency of activities has not been maintained due to limited capital and resources. While the supervisory function is being implemented, it is still not optimal and remains administrative in nature. This study recommends strengthening managerial functions and cross-actor collaboration to achieve sustainable community empowerment through the management of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes).

PERILAKU PEMILIH BURUH DI KAWASAN INDUSTRI DALAM PEMILIHAN UMUM 2024 KECAMATAN TUALANG KABUPATEN SIAK
Workers in industrial areas face various problems, such as unilateral termination of employment (PHK), accelerated retirement, and limited space to voice political aspirations. These conditions are an important background in understanding workers' political behavior, especially in the context of the 2024 General Election. This study aims to describe the voting behavior of workers in industrial areas in the 2024 General Election in Tualang District, Siak Regency. The method used in this study is a descriptive qualitative approach descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, as well as FGDs with labor unions and documentation of workers in the industrial area of Tualang District, Siak Regency. The main focus of this study is to understand how workers' voting behavior is formed, the extent to which rationality influences their choices, and how working conditions and the position of labor unions contribute to shaping the dynamics of political participation among workers. The results of the study show that the majority of workers vote rationally by considering the vision and mission, work programs, and track records of candidates, as explained in Anthony Downs' Rational Choice theory. However, there is also a tendency to vote based on emotional closeness or local identity, as well as the presence of critical voters who reject money politics. From the perspective of Robert A. Dahl's Polyarchy theory, worker participation is quite inclusive without direct pressure from companies, but political access is still limited due to the lack of polling stations around industrial areas, as well as limited campaign space in the workplace. The conclusion of this study is that labor political behavior in industrial areas is not homogeneous, but rather demonstrates a combination of rationality, pragmatism, and structural limitations. While participation continues, challenges of representation and access remain that need to be addressed to achieve a truly inclusive and participatory democracy.

This is due to the fact that coordination conducted by DP2KBP3A with village governments, schools, and horizontal institutions is still limited. The guidance provided can be said to be suboptimal, primarily due to the lack of training received by employees regarding violence against children. The facilitation offered is still not optimal, as there is a lack of supporting facilities provided by DP2KBP3A to prevent violence against children.

It is certain that such severe sanctions will be imposed, which sanctions that could be given are dismissal from office if it is true that illegal levies are carried out by certain Civil Servant Teachers at SMP 4 Pekanbaru City. The relevant agencies have examined the accused officials directly to avoid unfair punishment if it is not proven, it will be detrimental to the Civil Servants themselves. However, dissatisfaction remains because the reporter feels that he has not been heard regarding the problem of requesting a laptop for follow-up admission at SMP 4 Pekanbaru School.

Local elections often become complex arenas where various social and cultural actors play crucial roles in shaping political directions. In Rokan Hulu Regency, kinship-based organizations or clans have an undeniable influence in political contests, including in securing victories for candidates. This study analyzes the role of Punguan Marga Batak Parna (Punguan Parna) in supporting the election of Guntur Simarmata in Rokan Hulu's local election. The main focus of this research is to examine how Punguan Parna, as a kinship-based organization, implements resource mobilization strategies to achieve its political objectives. This study employs the resource mobilization theory as an analytical framework to understand the process of gathering and utilizing various resources, including human resources (members), financial, informational, and networking assets owned by Punguan Parna. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, the research finds that Punguan Parna effectively mobilized its members through kinship ties, clan solidarity, and intensive communication.

PELAKSANAAN PRINSIP – PRINSIP PELAYANAN PUBLIK DALAM PERSETUJUAN BANGUNAN GEDUNG PADA DPMPTSP KOTA PEKANBARU TAHUN 2023
Public service is the most visible measure of government performance. The public can directly assess a government's performance based on the quality of public services received, as this quality is felt by all levels of society. Success in establishing professional, effective, efficient, and accountable public service performance is crucial. Therefore, the government must adhere to laws and continually strive to improve the quality of public services. The purpose of this study was to determine the implementation of public service principles in building approvals at the Pekanbaru City Public Works and Public Housing Agency (DPMPTSP) in 2023, referring to Mahmudi's (2007) theory of public service principles: procedural simplicity, clarity, timeliness, completeness of facilities and infrastructure, ease of access, and discipline, politeness, and friendliness. This research is a descriptive qualitative study with primary and secondary data sources. Data collection techniques used were interviews and documentation. Data analysis techniques included data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of this study are that the application of public service principles in PBG in Pekanbaru City has been implemented and the Pekanbaru City government has also begun to improve its services in building permit services, but it has not been running perfectly because there are several indicators that are still difficult for the public to understand and are not implemented properly by the Pekanbaru City DPMPTSP. Keywords: Implementation, Service Principles, and Building Approval
TRANSPARANSI PENGELOLAAN DANA DESA TAMBANG DALAM MENINGKATKAN INFRASTRUKTUR DI DESA TAMBANG KECAMATAN TAMBANG KABUPATEN KAMPAR TAHUN 2024
Article 78 of Law Number 6 of 2014 states that the purpose of village development is to improve the welfare of rural communities. Article 1 explains that village funds are used to finance government administration, the implementation of development, community development, and community empowerment. Therefore, the Minister of Finance Regulation (PMK) Number 108 of 2024 regulates the management of Village Funds for the year 2025. In managing village funds, transparency from the village government is needed, starting from the availability and accessibility of documents, clarity and completeness of information, and openness of processes. This research uses a descriptive qualitative research method. The theory used as the basis of this research is the theory of transparency (Kristianten, in M. Fikri 2022) and the Minister of Finance Regulation (PMK) Number 108 of 2024 regulates the management of Village Funds. Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that overall, the Tambang village government is transparent regarding village funds in every activity. In determining the infrastructure to be implemented, the village government holds meetings at the hamlet level, and the results of the hamlet meetings are proposed to the village meeting and then the Village Development Plan (RKPDes) is compiled. The village government is open and invites the community to participate or supervise activities in the Tambang village, such as by putting up banners and reports of activities.

PERAN BADAN PENGAWAS PEMILIHAN UMUM DALAM MELAKUKAN PENCEGAHAN PELANGGARAN DI PEMILIHAN KEPALA DAERAH KOTA PEKANBARU TAHUN 2024
Regional Head Elections (Pilkada) are a concrete manifestation of democracy in Indonesia, but their implementation remains vulnerable to violations such as money politics, administrative violations, and the lack of impartiality of state civil servants. This study aims to analyze the role of the Pekanbaru City Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) in preventing violations in the 2024 Pilkada. The approach used was descriptive qualitative through interviews, documentation, and literature review, utilizing Talizuduhu Ndraha's role theory, which divides roles into normative and effective indicators. The results show that normatively, Bawaslu has implemented its preventive function through outreach, education, and participatory oversight. However, effective oversight is still hampered by limited resources, weak reporting evidence, and low public participation. These conditions have resulted in suboptimal efforts to prevent violations that threaten the integrity of the Pilkada. This study emphasizes the need for increased institutional capacity and community collaboration to strengthen the oversight function so that local democracy in Pekanbaru can be realized transparently and with integrity. Keywords: Bawaslu, Pilkada, Violation Prevention, Role, Election Oversight
PERAN BAWASLU PROVINSI RIAU DALAM MENUMBUHKAN PENGAWASAN PARTISIPATIF DI PROVINSI RIAU PADA PEMILU TAHUN 2024
The implementation of participatory supervision plays a crucial role in maintaining the quality of democracy through active public involvement in the electoral process. In the context of the 2024 Election in Riau Province, the Election Supervisory Body (Bawaslu) of Riau Province holds a key role in optimizing participatory supervision through various designed programs. This research aims to describe how Bawaslu of Riau Province develops participatory supervision through the dimensions of governmental roles proposed by Ryaas Rasyid, as a regulator, facilitator, dynamizer, and catalyst. The study adopts a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through structured interviews, FGD, and documentation. The reaserch show that Bawaslu of Riau Province has implemented several participatory supervision programs, including the Participatory Supervision Education Program, Citizen Forums, Supervision Corners, Partnerships with Universities, Participatory Supervision Villages, and Digital Communities. Each program reflects the realization of Bawaslu’s role in developing participatory supervision during the 2024 Election. However, field implementation indicates that not all programs have been effectively carried out in accordance with Bawaslu’s roles as a regulator, facilitator, dynamizer, and catalyst. This research recommends expanding the reach and improving the quality of these programs, as well as enhancing citizens’ political literacy to strengthen participatory supervision and support a more transparent and inclusive electoral process.

IMPLEMENTASI PRINSIP AGILE GOVERNANCE DALAM PENYELENGGARAAN PELAYANAN PUBLIK MELALUI APLIKASI SIAP-MPP DI KOTA PEKANBARU TAHUN 2023
This study aims to analyze the implementation of Agile Governance principles in the provision of public services through the SIAP-MPP (Public Service Mall Queue and Complaint Information System) application in Pekanbaru City in 2023. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection through interviews, documentation, and observations of application managers, service officials, and community users. The results of the study indicate that Agile Governance principles such as Systematic and Adaptive Approach, Based on Quick Wins, Human Focused, Simple Design and Continuous Refinement, and Good Enough Governance have been implemented with positive achievements in the form of increased service integration, feature improvements, and user engagement. However, several significant challenges remain such as low levels of community involvement in using the application, technical and infrastructure constraints, low digital literacy, and suboptimal integration between agencies. In general, the SIAP-MPP application is on the path of adaptive digital transformation, but requires further strengthening to make public services more responsive, efficient, and participatory. Keywords: Agile Governance, Public Services, SIAP-MPP Application
PELAKSANAAN TUGAS BADAN PENGAWAS PEMILIHAN UMUM (BAWASLU) KOTA DUMAI PADA PEMILIHAN UMUM TAHUN 2024
This study is motivated by the persistent weaknesses in the implementation of election supervision during the 2024 General Election in Dumai City, as evidenced by the occurrence of Re-Voting (Pemungutan Suara Ulang/PSU) in nine polling stations. This phenomenon indicates that the preliminary supervision conducted by the General Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) of Dumai City has not been fully effective, particularly in preventing early administrative and technical violations in the field. The purpose of this research is to analyze the implementation of Bawaslu Dumai’s supervisory duties and functions during the 2024 General Election, focusing on the effectiveness of supervision at each stage preliminary, concurrent, and feedback control. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach with data collected through in-depth interviews and documentation. The analysis is based on Donnelly’s (1996) control theory, which includes three types of supervision: preliminary control, concurrent control, and feedback control, supported by Law Number 7 of 2017 and Bawaslu Regulation Number 5 of 2022 on Election Supervision. The results show that Bawaslu Dumai has generally performed its supervisory duties according to regulations, including prevention, implementation, and enforcement stages. However, preliminary control remains the weakest aspect due to the limited technical training (Bimtek) provided to ad hoc supervisors, weak coordination across supervisory levels, and suboptimal mapping of potential violations. These issues have led to administrative errors that triggered PSU. In conclusion, the implementation of Bawaslu Dumai’s duties during the 2024 General Election has been fairly effective but still requires improvement in preliminary control through capacity building, continuous training, and stronger coordination systems to ensure more credible, fair, and democratic elections in the future. Keywords : Bawaslu Dumai City, Election Supervision, Preliminary Control, Re-Voting (PSU), Donnelly Theory.

The study focuses on the roles and interactions between Tampan Mental Hospital and the Riau Provincial Social Service, using Ansell and Gash’s collaborative governance process theory, which includes five indicators: face-to-face dialogue, trust building, commitment to process, shared understanding, and intermediate outcomes. The findings indicate that collaboration between the two institutions has not been optimal due to unclear delegation of responsibility, lack of structured coordination, and limited post-rehabilitation support. Keywords: Collaborative Governance, People with Mental Disorders, Process, Rehabilitation
PELAKSANAAN FUNGSI PENGAWASAN DEWAN PERWAKILAN RAKYAT DAERAH (DPRD) TERHADAP PENGANGKUTAN SAMPAH DI KOTA PEKANBARU TAHUN 2023
The problem of waste transportation in Pekanbaru City in 2023 remains a pressing environmental issue due to the suboptimal performance of the local government. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Pekanbaru City Regional Representative Council (DPRD)'s oversight function regarding waste transportation. The approach used was descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques through interviews and documentation, involving informants from the DPRD, the Environment and Sanitation Agency (DLHK), and the community. The research analysis utilized Siagian's oversight theory in Ardansyah (2014), which distinguishes between direct and indirect supervision. The results indicate that DPRD supervision is implemented through Commission IV in coordination with the DLHK. Direct supervision is conducted through field visits and unannounced inspections to follow up on findings of delays in waste transportation, which cause backlogs at several locations. Meanwhile, indirect supervision is carried out through working meetings and discussions of the DLHK's Government Agency Performance Report (LKjIP) to request explanations and ensure follow-up on field issues. This study concludes that the DPRD's oversight function has been implemented but has not been optimal in ensuring the effectiveness of waste transportation in Pekanbaru City. Keywords: DPRD, supervision, waste transportation, Pekanbaru City, DLHK.
EVALUASI PERATURAN DAERAH KOTA PEKANBARU NOMOR 08 TAHUN 2014 TENTANG PENGELOLAAN SAMPAH TAHUN 2023-2024
ABSTRACT Waste management has become a crucial environmental issue. Pekanbaru City records the highest waste generation in Riau Province, reaching 1,011.01 tons per day. This increase is driven by population growth and the low level of public awareness and participation. The Pekanbaru City Government has responded by issuing Regional Regulation No. 08 of 2014 on Waste Management. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the waste management policy, covering the stages of collection, transportation, processing, and final disposal. The findings indicate that policy implementation remains suboptimal due to limited budgets, inadequate infrastructure, and low community participation, highlighting the need for policy evaluation. It is concluded that waste management in Pekanbaru still faces structural and technical barriers; therefore, policy review, enforcement of sanctions, and enhanced cross-sector collaboration are required to achieve effective and sustainable waste management. Keywords: waste management, public policy, evaluation

Population issues are fundamental issues that have a direct impact on various aspects of life, from economics, social, politics, to the environment. Population is both the subject and object of development, so the success of national development is largely determined by how the government is able to manage the growth, distribution, and quality of its population. The SiPerindu application was created as an early warning tool for population problems, especially in Riau Province. This study aims to evaluate the Population Control Early Warning System Program (SiPerindu) by the Riau Province BKKBN Representative in 2022–2024 and analyze its impact on population control. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques through interviews and documentation with related parties, such as the Riau Province BKKBN Representative, DP3AP2KB Riau Province, DPPKB Pekanbaru City, and the Chairperson of the Population Coalition. The theory used is the program evaluation theory by William N. Dunn which includes 6 indicators, namely effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and accuracy. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of SiPerindu has not been optimal across all evaluation indicators. The main obstacles include limited human resources, lack of budget, missing data and infrastructure, and weak data integration between agencies. Despite this, the SiPerindu application has been used as a basis for the development of the Population Development Grand Design (GDPK) and the Roadmap For Population Development (PJPK). SiPerindu is also considered quite responsive in providing population data and has received positive feedback from the public. However, improvements in data updating and accessibility are still needed. Keywords: Program Evaluation, SiPerindu, Population Control, BKKBN.

PERAN DINAS LINGKUNGAN HIDUP DAN KEBERSIHAN DALAM PENANGANAN SAMPAH DI KECAMATAN TEMBILAHAN KABUPATEN INDRAGIRI HILIR TAHUN 2022-2023
Waste management is a mandatory government responsibility, although not included in basic services, particularly in the environmental sector. The government's role in waste management is crucial to creating a clean, tidy, and healthy environment, and preventing the spread of waste without proper management. Difficulties in managing waste effectively are caused by the unequal availability of waste management facilities, government policies and regulations, including sanctions for violators, low public awareness of proper waste disposal, and other factors such as socioeconomic conditions that influence waste management culture and behavior. This research was conducted in Tembilahan District, Indragiri Hilir Regency with the aim of describing the government's role in waste management. The method used is a qualitative approach with a qualitative descriptive research type. The theoretical basis uses the role theory of Ryaas Rasyid which includes three main indicators, namely: 1) Regulator, 2) Dynamicator, and 3) Facilitator. Based on the research results and referring to Ryaas Rasyid's theory (in Labolo, 2010), in the regulator indicator, the government has issued regional regulations; however, implementation in terms of law enforcement and imposing sanctions on violators is still not optimal. From the Dynamic indicator of the government's role, the relevant agency has formulated public service innovations, namely the Waste Patrol Team (TIMPAS) and the Environmental Complaint System (SI PANGLINK) to help educate the public through socialization and is running well. In the facilitator indicator, the government's role in providing waste management facilities and infrastructure has not been evenly understood. The conclusion that the government's role is still less than optimal is evident in the regulator and facilitator indicators, and the dynamic indicator that is already in place through public service innovation programs. Keywords: Government Role, Environment, Waste Management.
COLLABORATIVE GOVERNANCE TERHADAP PENGEMBALIAN STATUS DAN FUNGSI HUTAN ADAT DI DESA KEPAU JAYA KECAMATAN SIAK HULU KABUPATEN KAMPAR TAHUN 2022-2025
Customary forests constitute a strategic element for the social, cultural, spiritual, and economic sustainability of Indigenous communities. In Kepau Jaya Village, Kampar Regency, the conversion of 781.44 hectares of customary forest into private oil palm plantations triggered prolonged conflict. Although the Bangkinang District Court Decision No. 28/Pdt.G/2013/PN.Bkn ruled in favor of the Indigenous community, the implementation of forest restitution has not been optimally realized. This study analyzes the process of collaborative governance in restoring the status and function of the customary forest by employing the Ansell and Gash framework through a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected through interviews and documentation, and analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing techniques. The findings indicate that collaboration among the government, Indigenous community, and the company has begun to develop through mediation, public hearings, and field inspections. However, the effectiveness of collaboration remains constrained by low levels of inter-actor trust, regulatory ambiguities, and the absence of a final agreement. Overall, the implementation of collaborative governance shows positive progress in opening spaces for dialogue and participation, yet requires stronger governmental commitment and alignment of interests among all stakeholders to ensure the full restoration of the customary forest. Keywords: Customary Forest, Indigenous Community, Government, Agrarian Conflict, Collaborative Governance.

EVALUASI PELAKSANAAN KEBIJAKAN PEMBAYARAN NON TUNAI PADA BUS TRANS METRO PEKANBARU TAHUN 2023
This study is based on Pekanbaru Mayor Regulation Number 26 of 2019 concerning Guidelines for the Implementation of Electronic Ticketing on the Trans Metro Pekanbaru Mass Transportation System. The implementation of the cashless payment policy on Trans Metro Pekanbaru has led to a decline in the number of bus passengers, which in turn has contributed to a decrease in Regional Original Revenue. Although the policy aims to improve service efficiency and modernization, its implementation in the field has generated several issues, including limited infrastructure, low digital literacy among the public, and uneven access to digital services. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method, using data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The study was conducted in Pekanbaru City, specifically at the UPT TMP of the Pekanbaru City Transportation Agency. The evaluation of the policy's success is based on William N. Dunn’s policy evaluation theory. The findings of this study indicate that the cashless payment policy on Trans Metro Pekanbaru is a government initiative to adapt to digital-era developments. However, its implementation has not been fully optimal. In terms of effectiveness and efficiency, the policy continues to face technical obstacles and has not significantly increased the number of users. The aspects of adequacy and equity have also not been fulfilled, as facilities and policy outreach have not reached all segments of society.

The high level of urbanization in East Jakarta has led to an increase in slum areas that do not meet health, safety, and housing standards. Specifically, East Jakarta has recorded that 12% of its settlements are classified as slums, with 78 neighborhood associations (RW) identified as problematic. Through the implementation of the Community Action Plan (CAP) and Collaborative Implementation Program (CIP), the government is striving to make participatory improvements, including physical restructuring, socio-economic strengthening, and basic infrastructure development. This study aims to analyze the extent of the role of the Sub-Department in the implementation of these programs in improving the quality of settlements in East Jakarta in 2023. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method through interviews using purposive sampling techniques. This study found that the Sub-Department plays three important roles: as a regulator through the formulation of verification rules and program priority setting; as a facilitator through the provision of basic infrastructure such as drainage, road access, and open spaces; and as a dynamizer through education, socialization, and increased community participation. These roles contribute to improving the residential environment, despite limitations in resources and coordination. Strengthened collaboration among various actors is needed to support sustainable residential development. Keywords : Role, Quality of Housing, Housing Areas

This study aims to identify and explain the strategies implemented in preventing violence against women. The main problem in this research is that Pekanbaru remains the area with the highest number of cases of violence against women in Riau Province. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach to understand the strategies of the Office of Women’s Empowerment, Child Protection, and Community Empowerment (DPPAPM) of Pekanbaru City in preventing violence against women. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and primary documentation studies, as well as secondary sources including books, journals, and online references. The findings of this study, analyzed using Fred R. David’s strategic theory, show that the strategic role in this research is reflected in the coordination and synergy conducted by DPPAPM Pekanbaru City with various actors in efforts to prevent violence against women in 2024. The strategies are implemented based on the Strategic Plan (RENSTRA) of DPPAPM Pekanbaru City for 2023–2026.

DAYA TARIK WISATA ISTANA SAYAP DALAM MENINGKATKAN KUNJUNGAN WISATAWAN DI DESA WISATA KAMPUNG BUDAYA PELALAWAN KABUPATEN PELALAWAN PROVINSI RIAU
Pelalawan Wing Palace is a relic of the Sultanate of Pelalawan that was established in the 19th century. The palace symbolizes the glory of Malay culture, which is rich in art, tradition and unique architecture. One of its attractions is the wing-shaped palace design, which symbolizes the greatness and nobility of Malay customs. In addition, the strategic location of the palace, on the banks of the Kampar River, makes it a potential destination for the development of ecotourism and historical tourism. The attractions of Sayap Palace (such as historical architecture, performing arts and royal relics) were found to significantly influence visitation (β 0.362, Sig. 0.000). However, the R² value of 0.246 indicates that attractions alone are not enough. This is in line with Pitana & Diarta's theory that the synergy of attractions, amenity, and accessibility is necessary for visit optimization. The tourist attraction of Pelalawan Wing Palace (including historical buildings, performing arts, and royal relics) is proven to have a positive and significant influence on tourist visits. This is indicated by the regression coefficient value of 0.362 with Sig. 0.000. However, the results also reinforce the opinion of Pitana & Diarta (2009) that tourist attractions must be supported by amenity (facilities) and accessibility to create an optimal tourist experience.

Jaran Kepang, a traditional Javanese art still thriving in Tapung Jaya Village, Tandun District, combines dance, traditional music, and spiritual elements often associated with trance phenomena.
