Pandemic borders policy: securitizing stateless people during COVID-19 in Sabah, Malaysia
type: item
description: Drawing on Copenhagen School securitization theory, this study investigates how the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the securitization of stateless migration in Sabah, Malaysia. Stateless communities, already excluded from healthcare, employment, and social protection, became increasingly framed as existential threats to public health during a period marked by both pandemic crisis and federal political instability. The analysis focuses on the timeframe from March 18, 2020 to August 16, 2021, when the sudden change of federal government intensified securitization rhetoric, as the new administration sought to consolidate legitimacy through migration control. This research identifies two interlinked securitization strategies. First, punitive measures such as mass arrests, prolonged detention, and deportations symbolized state authority while addressing public anxieties. Second, deterrence mechanisms including reinforced border patrols, visible security deployments, and integrated security operations expanded surveillance and control over marginalized populations. While these measures temporarily reduced unauthorized border crossings, they also deepened the marginalization of stateless communities, producing family separations and heightened social tensions. By situating stateless migration at the intersection of public health and national security, this study underscores the urgency of examining how political crises shape securitization processes and contributes to broader debates on human security, migration governance, and state legitimacy under pandemic conditions.

The role of multi-stakeholder collaboration in advancing msmes and creative economy: insights from Gorontalo’s pentahelix policy model
type: item
description: This research employs a mixed-methods approach with an explanatory sequential design. Data were collected from 30 stakeholders representing five Pentahelix actors through structured questionnaires and in-depth interviews. The study focuses on three key variables: Government Role, Community Role, and Academic Role as independent variables, with Implementation Effectiveness as the dependent variable. Data analysis utilized multiple regression analysis and thematic analysis for qualitative data. Statistical analysis revealed that all three stakeholder roles significantly influence implementation effectiveness (R² = 0.699, F = 24.758, p < 0.001). Community Role demonstrated the strongest influence (β = 0.521, p < 0.001), followed by Government Role (β = 0.387, p = 0.001) and Academic Role (β = 0.294, p = 0.003). Qualitative findings identified key success factors including active community participation, government responsiveness, and academia-industry partnerships, while highlighting challenges in bureaucratic coordination, budget adequacy, and technology transfer. The Pentahelix collaborative governance model proves effective for MSME policy implementation, with community engagement serving as the primary driver. However, successful implementation requires addressing structural barriers including bureaucratic inefficiencies, limited financial resources, and weak inter-sectoral coordination. The study contributes to collaborative governance theory and provides practical insights for policy makers in developing regions.

Enhancing civil servants performance through technical competency development in Provincial Government of West Sulawesi, Indonesia
type: item
description: This study aims to determine the Technical Competency Development Plan at the Regional Civil Service Agency of West Sulawesi Province. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach to provide a realistic, logical, factual, and accurate picture of what is happening in the field. Data was collected through document review, observation, and interviews. The data obtained was then analyzed based on the National Institute of Public Administration Regulation No. 10 of 2018 on the Development of Civil Servant Competencies. The results showed that the inventory in the first stage, namely the completion of civil servant profiles, had not yet been carried out. The competency gap analysis as the second stage had also not been carried out because the job competency standards were still in the drafting stage. The third stage is performance gap analysis through the assessment of employee performance targets, where overall civil servants are rated as good, but competency improvement is considered necessary to support civil servant performance in achieving the maximum result, which is an excellent rating. Finally, the verification and validation stage has not been carried out due to the absence of documents outlining the planning needs for competency development.

Local innovations to tackling covid-19 in Indonesia: how Depok City government managed the pandemic effectively?
type: item
description: This article examines how locally driven innovations contribute to the effectiveness of decentralization policies, focusing on the COVID-19 pandemic response by the Depok City Government in Indonesia. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research draws on in-depth interviews, field surveys with 932 residents, an online survey of 218 healthcare workers conducted between September 2020 and January 2021, and content analysis of mass and social media conducted in collaboration with citizen experts. The analysis highlights two key initiatives. The first is the COVID-19 Information Center for Depok City (Pusat Informasi COVID-19 Kota Depok), better known as the PICODEP application, which functions as a digital data platform that supports evidence-based policy-making. The second is the Kampung Siaga program, which facilitates community participation in monitoring and managing the local impacts of the pandemic. Despite fiscal and infrastructural constraints, these innovations strengthened Depok’s capacity for timely and effective pandemic control. The study also reveals skepticism among some residents regarding official government assistance. However, it demonstrates that adaptive, collaborative, and inclusive strategies are vital for rebuilding trust and reinforcing local governance. Cross-sector collaboration, including partnerships with academic institutions, together with broad citizen engagement, proved critical for sustainable pandemic adaptation. The integration of technology, grassroots participation, and institutional support not only improved crisis management but also provided valuable lessons for strengthening decentralization frameworks in future emergencies. Ultimately, this article offers a comprehensive analytical perspective on designing adaptive local policies for public health resilience and disaster mitigation.

The failure of the old islamic parties in Indonesian election: a study of the Partai Persatuan Pembangunan (PPP) 2019-2024
type: item
description: The aim of this article is to explore the trend of declining votes for Islamic parties in contemporary Indonesia, both at the national and local levels. In particular, it examines the failure of the Partai Persatuan Pembangunan (PPP) in the 2024 elections. Some perspectives argue that the defeat of Islamic parties in Indonesia stems from their inability to adapt their ideological platforms, internal factionalism, and identity crises. Other views suggest that shifts in the ideological orientation of Islamic voters, who increasingly favor nationalist parties over Islamic parties, have also contributed to their electoral decline. This study employs a qualitative method with a sociological institutionalism approach, arguing that empirical sociological conditions played a decisive role in shaping the defeat of Islamic parties in the 2024 election. At least seven factors contributed to the failure of long-established Islamic parties to secure the support of Muslim voters. Chief among these was prolonged internal conflict, while additional factors included leadership crises, weak coordination and communication between central and regional legislative candidates, the loss of charismatic figures, misaligned endorsements of presidential and vice-presidential candidates, campaign strategies that failed to appeal to young voters, and inadequate financial and logistical resources.

National government and special capital government relations in covid-19 crisis communication
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the phenomenon of miscommunication between the central government and the Special Capital Region of Jakarta in handling the COVID-19 pandemic, using the lens of Situational Crisis Communication Theory (SCCT). The COVID-19 crisis in Indonesia revealed significant inconsistencies in policy communication, particularly through social media, leading to confusion in public understanding and response. This research focuses on Twitter as a critical platform used by both the Ministry of Health and the Jakarta government. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, the study analyzed social media content from June to September 2021 using NVivo 12 Plus software. The findings demonstrate that while both institutions engaged in digital communication, the Ministry of Health adopted a more centralized, formal approach, whereas the Jakarta government employed a localized and interactive strategy. Despite these efforts, coordination was often reactive and lacked synchronization, resulting in fragmented messaging and weakened public trust. Word cloud and cluster analyses reveal that terms like “Indonesia,” “COVID,” and “WE” were frequently used to evoke unity, but were insufficient to bridge the rhetorical-practical gap in crisis management. The study concludes that although Twitter has potential as a tool for crisis communication, the absence of coherent strategy and coordination between central and regional governments undermined its effectiveness. Improved integration of SCCT principles and harmonized communication frameworks are essential to strengthen future governmental responses in public health emergencies.

Collaborative governance in food policy affairs: an examination of peatland damage mitigation strategies In Sungai Apit Regency, Indonesia
type: item
description: The degradation of peatlands attributable to anthropogenic activities, including the conversion of land for agricultural purposes and unsustainable land use practices, has culminated in a reduction of local food productivity and has adversely impacted food security in the Sungai Apit Subdistrict of Siak Regency, Indonesia. This research endeavor seeks to critically assess the efficacy of collaborative governance in the amelioration of peatland degradation and its ramifications on food policy. The methodological framework employed in this study is qualitative descriptive, utilizing data collection techniques that encompass comprehensive interviews, empirical field observations, and rigorous document analysis. The results indicate that institutional frameworks and leadership dynamics are pivotal dimensions that significantly affect the efficacy of collaborative efforts, notwithstanding the observed weakness in coordination among stakeholders. The predominance of governmental authority in decision making processes, coupled with a general lack of public awareness regarding the significance of peatland conservation, constitutes substantial barriers to progress. As a strategic intervention, the implementation of food diversification initiatives, such as the cultivation of hybrid coconuts, maize, and sweet potatoes, is advocated to mitigate reliance on rice and to enhance local food security. The study advocates for the fortification of participatory platforms, the enhancement of cross-sectoral coordination, along with community empowerment through educational programs and innovations in eco-technology. By adopting a more inclusive approach to collaborative governance, there exists a potential to foster sustainable food systems within regions characterized by vulnerable ecosystems, such as peatlands.

How patronage and clientelism works in village head elections in Karawang Regency, Indonesia?
type: item
description: The implementation of democracy at the village level in Indonesia is institutionalized through direct village head elections. However, rather than strengthening democratic values, the 2021 simultaneous elections in Karawang Regency revealed persistent patronage and clientelism. This study investigates how such practices undermine democratic consolidation by examining three villages with distinct socio-economic contexts: an agricultural village (K), a coastal village (C), and an industrial village (M). Using a case study approach, the research highlights the prevalence of money politics, including vote buying, distribution of goods, provision of services, and project-based patronage. Findings demonstrate that electoral competition was shaped not only by material inducements but also by personalized candidate–voter relationships, reinforcing clientelist ties. The urgency of this study lies in exposing how entrenched local political practices threaten the credibility of democratic institutions and village governance. The novelty of this research is its comparative analysis across villages with different economic bases, revealing context-specific patterns of patronage. The study contributes to debates on local democracy by showing that institutional reforms alone are insufficient without addressing the socio-political structures that perpetuate patronage and clientelism.

Analysis of invalid votes in the village head elections in Purbalingga Regency, Indonesia
type: item
description: This study analyzes the causes of the large number of invalid votes during village head elections. Political scientists have pay little attention to this phenomenon. This study uses a case study method to examine why and how this situation occurred. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with 17 people in three villages and document studies. Informants included village head candidates, election committees, election supervisors, and winning teams. The study found that the number of invalid votes was very high, at 18%, 21%, and 29% because of symmetrical votes, i.e., two parallel holes. Invalid votes occurred due to three factors: sociological factors, such as low voter knowledge; political protest as a means of political criticism; and institutional factors, such as weak regulations and low committee competence. This occurred due to institutional factors, such as diverse interpretations of regulations regarding valid votes, poor ballot design, and incompetent election committees. This research contributes to promoting improvements in voting regulations that accommodate symmetrical votes, designing secure ballots for voters, and encouraging committees to intensively socialize voting procedures.

Governing process of building association in contemporary Vietnam
type: item
description: The right to form associations is a human right recognized in many international political and legal documents. In countries led by a single party, the formation of associations can influence issues related to human rights and conflict with national management interests. In this context, this article examines the legal aspects related to the right to form associations in Vietnam today. This research aims to collect, analyze, and clarify aspects of the right to form associations in Vietnam. It assesses the current legal status of the implementation of the right to form associations in Vietnam. The research method used in this article is a literature review. The results of the research show that Vietnam has nearly 70,000 associations, including more than 1,200 international non-governmental organizations. Associations and organizations cover various issues such as the environment, social security, scientific research, ethnic minorities, water resource management, and forests. Although the formation and operation of associations still face many difficulties and obstacles, the role of associations is to coordinate and jointly resolve complex, urgent, and emerging social issues with state management institutions. This article discusses governance issues related to the formation of associations since Doi Moi (1986).

Weaving cultural and generational threads in rural Philippines: the livelihood, identity, and roles of elderly women artisans in Lalaguna
type: item
description: Traditional weaving is a vital form of indigenous knowledge in Filipino culture. This study explores the livelihood, identity, and roles of elderly women artisans in Barangay Lalaguna, a small rural community in the Philippines. This also aims to inform heritage conservation, inclusive engagement, and culturally grounded community policies. Using a qualitative research design and inductive thematic analysis, the study examined the lived experiences of 16 elderly women weavers. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews, with ethical protocols observed to ensure voluntary participation, confidentiality, and informed consent. Findings show that weaving serves both as a livelihood and as a cultural identity marker, deeply integrated into family life and rural community traditions. Although many women have passed on their skills to children or grandchildren, generational disinterest, migration, and modernization threaten the continuity of the craft. Despite these challenges, elderly women persist as cultural custodians and household economic contributors. The study supports the need for intergenerational learning programs, sustainable market access, and health support tailored for aging artisans. Beyond cultural significance, the findings underscore the importance of integrating weaving into cultural governance, heritage policy, and community development strategies to sustain the craft amid economic and generational change.

The role of government policies in promoting green marketing: a bibliometric review
type: item
description: This study aims to map the development and relationship between green marketing, public policy, and the Role of government in supporting sustainable marketing practices globally, while identifying gaps and variations in policy effectiveness across countries. Using a bibliometric approach based on Scopus data for 2014-2024, this study analyzes publication trends, researcher collaboration patterns, keyword networks, and policy comparisons across countries. The analysis shows a significant increase in academic interest in this topic since 2021, with publication peaks in 2022 and 2023. China and India dominate research contributions, driven by proactive subsidy policies and fiscal incentives. The keyword network visualization reveals four main clusters: business and sustainability research, consumer behavior, the Role of government, and industrial strategy. Findings highlight the critical Role of policies such as subsidies, ecological labeling, and educational campaigns in increasing the adoption of green marketing and encouraging environmentally friendly consumer behavior. However, challenges still arise in the form of low consumer awareness, technological limitations, and the risk of greenwashing. The overall interpretation concludes that the integration of supportive public policies, industry readiness, consumer acceptance, and the importance of customizing strategies to the local context primarily determines the success of green marketing. This research recommends strengthening subsidy policies, education campaigns, and transparent labeling, and supports cross-sector collaboration to accelerate the transition to sustainable business practices globally.

Dynamics of education policy formulation after the 18th amendment in Province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan
type: item
description: The 18th Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan has authorized provinces, including Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), to formulated autonomous education policies. This authority includes determining the direction and strategy of the education system for future goals such as literacy rates, gender equality, and quality education. However, after 14 years of implementing this decentralization, KPK's progress in educational policy autonomy has been inadequate. This study evaluates the performance of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province in formulating its own educational policies in the context of the post-18th Constitutional Amendment era. This research is based on semi-structured interviews conducted with key stakeholders in the province. The study also found that as a small province, KPK faces various challenges, such as a shortage of experts in education policy formulation, limited financial and human resources, political interference, an unbalanced federal system, and a lack of extensive consultation with stakeholders. These variables act as barriers to the province's progress in all aspects of formal education, despite the decentralization of school education through the 18th Amendment in 2010. This study recommends the need to enhance the institutional capacity of the KPK Province in formulating education policies in accordance with the objectives of the 18th Amendment.

The influence of media literacy on students' social protection in adult and vocational education policy in Rivers State, Nigeria
type: item
description: This study examines the effect of media literacy on students' social protection in adult and vocational education policy in Rivers State, Nigeria, based on experiences from the COVID-19 pandemic. The following three research questions and corresponding null hypotheses were formulated. A quasi-experimental design with an experimental group and a control group was used. A sample of 180 learners was randomly selected from a total of 2,378 adult learners in six adult literacy centers. The data collection instrument used in this study was the Learners Social Protection Test (LeSPT), which was developed by the researchers and tested for face and content validity by three experts. A reliability coefficient of 0.87 was obtained through the application of the Kuder-Richardson formula (K-R20). The data collected were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and analysis of covariance. Findings indicated that students who received media literacy instruction showed significantly greater positive effects on social protection compared to students who only received basic literacy instruction.

Building digital governance ecosystem readiness for Indonesian regional representative council institution
type: item
description: The Regional Representative Council of the Republic of Indonesia (DPD RI) faces the challenge of digital transformation. This research evaluates its digital readiness, comparing it with Estonia, South Korea, Singapore, and India, to bridge the digital divide between the central office and regional offices. Using gap analysis, Multi-Dimensional Scaling (MDS), and the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), we found that infrastructure, institutions, and human resources are key factors. The AHP prioritizes human resources (43.9%), institutions (31.1%), and infrastructure (19.6%). The top programs include i-Parliament Literacy (40.3%), i-Parliament Management (39.6%), and Digital Infrastructure (20.1%), which have the potential to increase the readiness index to 76.43 (“VERY READY”). Currently, the DPD RI index stands at 56.05 (“READY”), indicating significant regional disparities, particularly in Eastern Indonesia, and lagging behind benchmark countries in terms of interconnectivity, security, and parliamentary digitalization. This prioritizes “soft infrastructure” (80%) over “hard infrastructure” (20.1%), aligning with initiatives such as the Digital New Deal 2.0 and Digital India. This study validates and develops the combined application of gap analysis, MDS, and AHP.

Impacts of community participation, multi-actor collaboration, transparency, and accountability on village financial governance in Rokan Hulu, Indonesia
type: item
description: This study examines the impact of community participation, multi-stakeholder collaboration, transparency, and accountability on village financial governance policies in Rokan Hulu Regency, Riau Province, within the framework of the New Public Governance (NPG) paradigm. This research used a mixed methods approach with a sequential exploratory design. Qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews, direct observation and document analysis, then analyzed using thematic techniques. Quantitative data was obtained through a Likert scale questionnaire survey involving 90 purposively selected respondents and analyzed descriptively and inferentially. The research findings show that community participation, multi-stakeholder collaboration, transparency, and accountability significantly improve the effectiveness, efficiency, and accountability of village financial governance. However, challenges such as low participation of vulnerable groups, weak synergy between informal actors, and unequal access to information are still major obstacles. The study concludes that strengthening formal collaboration, improving technical capacity through internal audit training, and adopting inclusive strategies to increase community participation are critical to advancing village financial governance. This study contributes to the theoretical development of the NPG paradigm and provides practical recommendations for designing policies for inclusive and sustainable village financial governance.

Struggle for fair oil royalties in Sabah: the dynamics of federal-state government relations in Malaysia 2003-2018
type: item
description: This study investigates the dynamics of federal-state relations in Malaysia, specifically focusing on Sabah’s efforts to secure increased oil royalties from 2003 to 2018, particularly during the tenure of Chief Minister Musa Aman. Despite the political alignment between the federal government and the Barisan Nasional led state government of Sabah, attempts to raise the oil royalty rate from five percent to 20 percent were ultimately unsuccessful. Employing a qualitative methodology, this research incorporates interviews, official documents, and legislative records, and augments these findings with quantitative data regarding oil production, revenue trends, and socioeconomic indicators. This comprehensive approach assesses the broader implications of the royalty dispute on Sabah’s development. The findings reveal that factors such as federal dominance, institutional constraints, and historical agreements continue to restrict Sabah’s fiscal autonomy. Notably, despite being the largest oil-producing state in Malaysia, Sabah remains the poorest state, underscoring the disconnection between resource generation and regional development. By contextualizing Sabah’s experience within both global and national frameworks, and drawing comparative insights from other oil-producing federal states, including Nigeria, Canada, and Brazil, this study emphasizes how centralized control over oil revenues, coupled with political and constitutional inflexibility, can hinder equitable development. The article advocates for more inclusive federal-state negotiations and encourages a reevaluation of resource sharing mechanisms within Malaysia’s federal system.

A decade of village funds governance: evaluation, optimization, and institutional strengthening for sustainable rural development in Indonesia
type: item
description: Village institutions are essential to the Village Fund governance. This study analyzes the factors contributing to the failure of these institutions in managing Village Funds and proposes strategies to enhance their capacity. The research was conducted in Warembungan Village and Kamangta Village in Minahasa Regency using a qualitative descriptive method. The findings indicate that the management of Village Funds is predominantly focused on short-term programs, such as Direct Cash Assistance. Key strategic policies related to this management include the Village Medium-Term Development Plan (VMTDP), Village Government Work Plan (VGWP), and Village Regulations regarding the Village Budget. Internal factors that hinder the efficiency of village institutions include the election of village heads not based on the majority, political interference, low transparency in recruitment processes, limited human resources, and inadequate welfare for officials. External factors include overlapping regulations, weak coordination among agencies, and ineffective supervision. As a result, budget efficiency is compromised, which increases the potential for mismanagement and conflicts of interest. To strengthen village institutions, it is essential to revise overlapping regulations, allow flexibility in the election of village heads, and enhance human resource capacity through competency-based selection. Furthermore, improving transparency in fund management, ensuring strict oversight from the government and community, and involving universities, media, and migrant communities are vital components for ensuring better village governance. With these strategies, village institutions are expected to support optimal and sustainable rural development.

Systematic mapping study of climate change mitigation: a review of public administration studies
type: item
description: Climate change is a critical issue that is constantly discussed in numerous international forums, particularly considering its wide-impact and cross-sectoral nature. Every aspect of real life, especially the environment, is impacted by this global phenomenon, hence the need for real solutions from various groups. Public administration scientists saw this as a problem that must be solved through several literature studies conducted. This research method will use a systematic mapping study using the Taylor and Francis Group database that has been determined. The results of this study with 3 actors combined with collaborative governance show that government actors focus on domestic and foreign policies adopted by emphasizing the collaboration between government agencies that can be done. Meanwhile, the private sector has a unique contribution where they implement a circular economy and mutual cooperation determined by the principle of humanism and remain humane by helping the community. Meanwhile, community actors emphasize the existence of local knowledge and community capacity as knowledge resources in climate change adaptation. This research shows the interplay among actors in climate change mitigation and encourages future researchers to provide a connection to decision-making. Current trends suggest that the public and private aspects of climate change mitigation currently lack synergy, with each of the key governance actors working separately to mitigate climate change.

A theory-based analysis of labour unions in the South African Public Service
type: item
description: This study provides a theory-based analysis of labour unions in the South African Public Service (SAPS), focusing on the evolving dynamics of labour relations, power structures, and collective bargaining processes. The research investigates how both historical legacies and contemporary socio-economic conditions shape the role of unions within the public sector. Specifically, the study examines the influence of apartheid-era policies, post-apartheid reforms, and the impact of global economic trends on labour organisations. Theoretical frameworks such as institutional theory, social movement theory, and marxist perspectives, along with indigenous frameworks like ubuntu philosophy, worker democracy, liberation unionism, and social movement unionism, underpin the analysis. The research follows a qualitative design, drawing on an in-depth analysis of academic literature, policy documents, legal frameworks, and secondary data sources to uncover trends and patterns in labour relations. Key findings reveal a complex interplay of socio-economic inequalities, political governance, and legislative frameworks that continue to shape union activities within the SAPS. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of socio-cultural dynamics in understanding labour relations within a historically charged environment. This paper contributes to theoretical debates in industrial relations by offering nuanced insights into the challenges and opportunities confronting unions in the South African public sector. The findings have practical implications for policymakers, union leaders, and public administration practitioners aiming to encourage more equitable labour relations and promote social justice. Ultimately, the study provides a framework for rethinking labour union strategies in light of contemporary challenges and the broader pursuit of transformation in the public service.
