Nurturing Hero or Villain: BAKAMLA as the Indonesian Coast Guard

<p>Maritime security governance is crucial for Indonesia, the world’s largest archipelago spread across a vast water area about the size of the United States. The existence of several law enforcement institutions to uphold Indonesian laws made governance and authority fractured and weak. Consequently, BAKAMLA was established to improve Indonesian maritime security governance by synergising and monitoring law enforcement at sea. Despite being supported politically by Indonesian President Joko Widodo, institutionally, BAKAMLA remains underperforming. This article discusses whether the existence of BAKAMLA fulfils Indonesia’s political and security needs to have an integrated coast guard institution. The article considers relevant literature and the research phase employed in-depth interviews with stakeholders of Indonesia’s law enforcement officers at sea. This article concludes that BAKAMLA is still relevant if significant adjustments are made to institutional empowerment by revising and harmonising relevant laws. Such revision reflects the aspirations of political support and will from the Indonesian government to BAKAMLA.</p>

DUGAAN UJARAN PENGHINAAN DAN PENGANCAMAN DI MEDIA SOSIAL: KAJIAN LINGUISTIK FORENSIK

This study analyzes the content of Facebook status comprising of the written status and its picture assumed to use insulting and threatening words toward Indonesian President Joko Widodo. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method by using Searle’s (1976) speech act theory as well as Kress and Leeuwen’s (2021) multimodality. The analyzes shows that there are 4 representative speech acts, 3 expressive speech acts, and two directives speech acts on the Facebook status. Moreover, this study also shows that the verbal element extends the visual element, providing additional information about the main object being discussed. The verbal mode is not dependent on the visual mode so the written status on the Facebook can be reported to the police as an offence warranting complaint based on the verbal mode only. However, the visual mode cannot be carried out to the authorities and reported as an offence warranting complaint because the visual mode has does not correspond with the verbal mode.

Maneuvering between two interests: Islam and Indonesia’s global identity the Joko Widodo Administration in 2014-2019

This article discusses how the leadership of the first era of Indonesian President Joko Widodo (2014-2019) managed Islam as one aspect of his country’s identity in the global arena. The authors argue that two things influenced the image of Indonesian Islam in the Widodo era. First is the domestic pressure to reclaim the trust of Islamic political groups. Second is a global interest to maintain the status quo as a country with moderate Islamic characteristics that is also active in pursuing world peace. To do this, the authors use a two-level game point of view that sees the constellation of domestic politics and then relates it to how theWidodo government carries out its foreign diplomatic strategy. This article finds that the Widodo administration in the first era could balance the interests of creating an image of a friendly government to Islamic groups. On the other hand, it can also fulfil its commitment to engage in diplomacy as a middle power through strategies dominated by results oriented bilateralism.

Analysis of Indonesia's Maritime Security Strategy and Policy as the World Maritime Axis

As the largest archipelago, Indonesia should be able to utilize its potential to create prosperity for its people. In fact, the maritime sector has not been fully utilized by Indonesia. Indonesia must prioritize the goal of becoming a maritime country to restore maritime glory. This is in line with Indonesian President Joko Widodo's goal to make Indonesia the world's maritime axis. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. The World Maritime Axis is indeed a decision taken by the government to restore the nature of Indonesia as an archipelago. Until now, the World Maritime Axis has not taken the form of a document equipped with a strategy in it. The strategy becomes an 'extension' of the policy, which currently there is no World Maritime Axis Strategy because the policy is still overlapping. Currently, the World Maritime Axis is categorized as a development policy discourse whose orientation is to realize Indonesia's vision as a maritime country, so it requires a lot of attention to fix and complete this idea so that it can be categorized as a policy and implemented through a strategy.

Neither promoting nor projecting democracy: Indonesia’s middlepowermanship in the Bali democracy forum under Joko Widodo

Abstract Despite the pragmatic character of Indonesian President Joko Widodo’s foreign policy and the regression of the country’s democracy index, Indonesia remains eager for the continuation of Bali Democracy Forum (BDF). This article aims to solve this apparent contradiction using the concept of middle power diplomacy. This article argues that, in contrast to his predecessor, Widodo does not perceive BDF as an instrument to promote or project democracy abroad. Rather, Widodo considers the BDF to accentuate Indonesia’s leadership role in multilateral fora. This ‘middlepowermanship’ challenges the elite-based approach in explaining Indonesia’s foreign policy, which puts a strong emphasis on Jokowi’s personal character traits. The continuation of the BDF under Widodo reflects Indonesia’s default thinking of its status as a middle power.

The Recap of Indonesia G20 Presidency in Bali

An international forum is a group discussion panel that helps world leaders exchange ideas and thoughts, which will later impact a country's economic and political policies or several countries. In November 2022, there were at least two important international meetings. First, the COP27 meeting in Cairo, Egypt, on 10 November 2022, and G20 Bali Summit. Indonesia had gone through a long steep road until it could finally reach a mutual agreement at the G20 Presidency in Bali, prioritizing health, digital transformation, and energy transition. However, the meeting of the head of the G20 member state was overshadowed by a global crisis. In the closing ceremony of the Indonesia G20 Presidency, Indonesian President Joko Widodo expressed his delight that the G20 Bali Leaders' Declaration had been well adopted and approved. G20 Bali Leaders' Declaration resulted from the series of G20 Indonesian presidency activities. It strived to provide various best solutions for one year of leadership amid various crises and new challenges. The effect of the high-level conference or the G20 Presidency in Bali in November 2022 was surging demand for investors all around the globe. Economic uncertainty in 2023 led to the government's decision to raise funds from investors. Since the end of 2022, Jokowi repeatedly brought up the importance of investors in Indonesia to face the threat of recession in 2023. Jokowi expected that the investment climate in Indonesia would be made easier.

EFFECTS OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION, WORK FORM HOME, ANDEMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT ON EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE THROUGH SELF-EFFICIENCY IN THE COVID-19 PANDEMI PERIOD AT THE LURAH OFFICE OF TANJUNGPINANG TIMUR DISTRICT

The workforce in government agencies is required to adjust to the sudden digital transformation. This appeal from Indonesian President Joko Widodo at a press conference at the Bogor Palace, West Java (15 March 2020) aims to minimize the spread of the Covid-19 Virus which requires people to study from home, worship from home, and carry out any activities at home. Minister of education Nadiem Makariem also appealed to all workers and teachers related to the temporary suspension of learning activities at schools and at universities affected by the Covid-19 virus to carry out teaching and learning from home through application technology. This policy is contained in the circular of the Minister of PAN-RB No.

Multimodal Portrayal of Joko Widodo on Tempo's Cover Story: A Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis

An Indonesian-language Tempo Magazine's cover story published in the September 14, 2019 edition was controversially perceived and interpreted by some parties as an insulting discourse towards Indonesian President Joko Widodo (Jokowi). The cover story in that edition was undeniably motivated by a political issue in Indonesia at the time. The issue was President Jokowi's approval of the new bills for the Corruption Eradication Commission (Indonesian: KPK). In this research, we investigated how the cover story in that edition had portrayed President Jokowi. The Tempo Magazine's cover story was selected as this research data. The cover story consisted of pictorial and linguistic modes. In the analysis, we employed a Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis (MCDA) approach to reveal ideological meanings behind those modes. After analyzing them, we found that the cover story had portrayed President Joko Widodo negatively. The negative portrayal came from the silhouette in the pictorial mode and the social actions represented in the linguistic mode. The results of this research can scientifically contribute to answering the question of whether the cover story insulted the Indonesian President or not.

Memetic persuasion and WhatsAppification in Indonesia’s 2019 presidential election

This article examines the interplay between the creation of ‘meme factories’ by political elites, and their operationalisation through WhatsApp. It uses the case study of Indonesian President Joko Widodo’s (Jokowi’s) bid for re-election in 2019 to argue that political elites are leveraging meme culture’s association with popular voice to ‘astroturf’ public discourse, and that WhatsApp’s unique infrastructure advances that project. Drawing on interview data, we offer a holistic picture of the processes and structures implicated in this instance of astroturfing, with a focus on how WhatsApp is positioned within them. The authors’ access to campaigners affords a rare inside view of these processes and structures, and contributes to a growing body of work on the WhatsAppification of election campaigns globally. In addition, the article builds on scholarship on social media election campaigning in Indonesia by drawing attention to the role WhatsApp’s unique features play in surreptitiously influencing public discourse.

WHAT’S WRONG WITH US? AN ANALYSIS OF INDONESIAN PRESIDENT JOKO WIDODO’S PUBLIC SPEECHES FROM 2017 TO 2018

The research examines the rhetorical style and political priorities in Indonesian President Joko Widodo’s public speeches during his first term in office. Content analysis is used to investigate a purposive sample of 66 presidential speeches from May 2017 to May 2018. In addition, the research identifies the similarity of words to understand the selective appraisal of Indonesia’s progress based on President Jokowi’s utterances. In one contentious oration on May 18th, 2017, delivered to government officials, the president bluntly asked ‘what’s wrong with us’? The question presupposes that something is wrong in Indonesian politics, and is narrowcast to an audience of government officials, some of whom are implicated in the developmental shortcomings, administrative inefficiencies, and social conflicts that persist in Indonesia today. The president’s strategic message implies that Indonesia’s economic development unduly lags regional competitors; disinformation and hate speech create social divisions and political distortions; and there is a significant digital and technological divide in the country. The research result shows that the president’s passion extends beyond bureaucratic reform and into contentious political topics, where selective attempts at disruptive truth-telling are made.

Saudi Arabia and Indonesian Networks: Migration, Education, and Islam By Sumanto Al Qurtuby

This study investigates a specific type of transregional ties, namely those between Saudi Arabia and Indonesia in the field of education. While the title refers to the current nation-states, Al Qurtuby’s study offers a longue-durée perspective by integrating the centuries-old tradition of Muslim pilgrimage in combination with prolonged periods of study in the holy cities and other nodes of the pilgrimage route. Such alternative Muslim centres of learning, most notably in Yemen, Egypt and Turkey, also re-appear from time to time in the narrative, thus widening the scope of the study beyond its main subject matter. Al Qurtuby sets the scene by first providing an overview of Arabian–Indonesian relations, starting from the pilgrimage and traditional Islamic learning that has expanded to Indonesians attending many different types of educational institutions in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. He also refers to the large-scale labour migration to the Peninsula that has impacted on the otherwise positive image of Indonesians who, until the 1980s, had been mostly perceived as students of Islam. Finally, he broaches the topic of the current diplomatic rapprochement marked by the visit of Indonesian President Joko Widodo in Riyadh in 2015 and the return visit, in 2017, by King Salman in Jakarta. The author concludes this overview by emphasizing education, religion and employment as the main motives of Indonesians to travel to Saudi Arabia.

Reaksi Pasar atas Penyebaran Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)

COVID-19 has become a negative sentiment for stock markets around the world. On Monday, March 2, 2020, Indonesian President Joko Widodo announced the findings of the first COVID-19 infection case in Indonesia. This study aims to test whether there is a market reaction to the spread of COVID-19. Market reaction in this study is measured by abnormal returns, which is the difference between expected returns and realized returns. Abnormal returns in this study were estimated using a market-adjusted model. This study was conducted on issuers included in the LQ 45 index. The sample in this study was determined using purposive sampling technique. This research was conducted using March 2, 2020 and March 9, 2020 as the date of the event. The number of companies used in this study amounted to 45 companies. The results of this study indicate that on March 2 2020 there was no market reaction to the spread of COVID-19, while on March 9 2020 there was a market reaction to the spread of COVID-19.

Phantasmagoric Borneo

ABSTRACT The island of Borneo has been the subject of starkly different portrayals. On the one hand, the devastation of the island’s great rainforests, choking haze from fires set to clear land for oil palm plantations, and open-pit coal mining have prompted visions of environmental collapse. On the other hand, Indonesian President Joko Widodo’s 2019 announcement that the national capital will be moved from Jakarta to East Kalimantan prompted utopian dreams that massive investment and technology will create a glorious future. This article explores how these competing portrayals of Borneo emerged historically through European and American fiction – including utopian novels, lost race stories, and pulp and science fiction – and are reflected and reproduced in Indonesian political thinking. The final section examines how these long-standing ideas about Borneo as the site of the fantastic and the phantasmagoric have colored media reporting and commentary about President Widodo’s planned new capital in East Kalimantan.

Partisanship in Crisis: Public Response to Covid-19 Pandemic in Indonesia

Given the fact that in a context of crises, people are concerned with their safety, among other things, partisan response toward policies and public leaders is an intriguing topic. This article examines the extent to which partisanship pertains to the time of the Covid-19 pandemic. We employ natural language processing (NLP) and social network analysis (SNA) on Twitter data to analyse public responses toward prominent political leaders, namely, Indonesian President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) and Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan (Anies), in handling the crisis of the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia. We then put the social media analysis in a framework of political partisanship. Our sentiment analysis through NLP across time and categories found that supports and demands towards the two public figures indicate positive and negative partisanship that replicates previous electoral supports. Similarly, our SNA indicates a high polarization rate among the accounts connected with the two leaders in response to the crisis. Extended analysis of the accounts who are at the epicentres of the sentiment conversations, either positive or negative about Jokowi and Anies, reveals that there are connections with their past political support. Though we find negative partisan responses for both leaders, a type of hard-core partisanship has been leveraged for Jokowi but not for Anies. We conclude that electoral polarization contributes to the extent to which partisanship responses circulate in a context of crisis.

ИНДОНЕЗИЙСКО-КИТАЙСКИЕ ОТНОШЕНИЯ ПРИ ДЖОКО ВИДОДО 2014–2021 ГГ.

Indonesia, as the largest country in Southeast Asia, with vast natural resources and marine waters, the world's largest Muslim state, occupying the most important geostrategic position in the region, cannot but claim to be one of the key places on the Chinese “Аsian chessboard”. In connection with the rapid growth of the economic and political influence of the PRC, which is challenging America on the world stage, Indonesia undoubtedly seeks to take advantage of the current situation and take part in the implementation of Beijing's ambitious plans. Indonesian President Joko Widodo is implementing the concept of the country's economic development by strengthening all-round ties with China within the framework of the conjugation of the Indonesian national concept of the “global marine axis” with the Chinese megaproject “one belt – one road”.

The Future of Shipping: Presence of Cyber Attacks in Maritime Industries

During the pandemic, many activities are starting to take place online. Consumers are now forced to interact with their gadget. In order to increase efficiency, many logistic-related industries started to implement an online communication, payment and tracking system. Indonesia is currently the largest archipelagic state in the world. With around 77% of total area consists of water, the flow of economics in each region depends on the existence of sufficient fleet of marine transportation. Indonesian President Joko Widodo has implemented the ‘Tol Laut’ program in 2015 in order to reduce price disparity in Indonesia. Tol Laut has proven itself by reducing up to 20% of cost in Eastern Indonesia. Online database system might reduce cost and bringing the industries into a more intimate relation with their customers. On the other hand, it could increase the risk of cyberattack. AP Moller-Maersk has experienced this kind of threat when their IT systems are completely shut down in 2017. This paper will evaluate factors affecting the number of cyber attacks in maritime industries based on survey and interviews with the stakeholders and analyze key steps in mitigating and restoring IT systems. Common mistakes made by industries that could increase the risk of being attacked are as follows: human error, misconfigured firewall, error in protocol manipulation, and error in programs. There are recommendation to mitigate cyberthreat from re-occuring in the future: software and antivirus upgrade, use of privileged administrator, remote access permission, data disposal and onshore support. Taking effective response is also compulsory to decide which IT/OT system must be kept running or shut down, whether certain ship communication that links with shore should be shut down, appropriate use of any advanced tools provided in pre- installed security software, and understanding whether the incident has compromised the IT/OT system beyond capabilities of recovery.
