Sustainability, Agency Empowerment, Neoliberalism in Global Citizenship Education

This paper explores the impact of evolving sustainability discourse and its integration into Global Citizenship Education (GCE) since 2015 on the formation of neoliberal subjectivity. While the post-2015 sustainability discourse and GCE model aim to systematize GCE approaches and empower individuals as change-makers, they consequently reinforce the neoliberal principles of self-governance and economic rationalization. Utilizing Michel Foucault’s theories on neoliberalism and neoliberal subject formation, this study examines how the post-2015 GCE model’s emphasis on standardization, measurement, and individual agency empowerment fosters self-convincing and self-regulating global citizen subjects to maintain that this process of neoliberal subjectivization cultivates an individuated, self-centered subjectivity that may undermine collective efforts to address global challenges.

Gender Differences in Multidimensional Poverty in Brazil: A Fuzzy Approach

This study aims to improve the measurement of multidimensional poverty for the purpose of analyzing gender differences while considering the limitations of household surveys. To effectively analyze gender disparities, it addresses three issues that are often overlooked in the literature: disregard for within-household inequalities in household-level indicators; disregard for ineligible populations in indicators that represent only a specific group; and disregard for intermediate deprivation situations in cutoff-based poverty estimations. Using data from the Brazilian Consumer Expenditure Survey 2017–2018, we create two indexes with indicators that are key aspects in gender and feminist analyses. Applying a fuzzy approach and the Alkire–Foster method, we estimate multidimensional poverty and gender differences from three perspectives: intrahousehold, interhousehold, and intracouple. We also calculate inequality among the poor and intracouple gender gaps proposing fuzzy versions for these analyses. The main findings suggest that women are disadvantaged in terms of work and time quality, economic security, and access to resources—all of which are crucial components of agency or degree of empowerment.

This research was conducted at one of the government agencies in Surabaya, namely the East Java Province Community Empowerment Agency (BAPEMAS), with a sample of 16 people. The sampling technique uses total sampling or census. The analysis used multiple linear regression to answer the problem formulation, research objectives, and hypotheses. The results of this research conclude that the variables participative budgeting and leadership style have a positive relationship pattern with leaders' performance. In contrast, work motivation has a negative relationship pattern with leader performance. However, all three are proven to have a viable model for influencing leadership performance. This is proven by the results of the F-test and the coefficient of determination (R2), namely the magnitude of the influence of participatory budgeting, leadership style, and work motivation on leadership performance, which is 51.9%. In comparison, the remaining 48.1% is influenced by other factors not discussed in this research. Based on the results of the F-test and the value of the coefficient of determination mentioned above, it can be concluded that the hypothesis, which states: "It is suspected that participatory budgeting, leadership style, and work motivation influence leadership performance," has been tested as true.

Policy Triangle Analysis of Stunting Issues in Urban Areas: A Case Study of Yogyakarta City

Stunting reduction is one of Indonesia’s major projects.
