Political Identity In The Perspective Of The Christian Faith: Welcome To The Future

Identity politics is a political tactic in which people or groups organize themselves based on certain traits such as religion, culture, race, gender, sexual orientation, or even hobbies. This can happen due to discrimination or injustice in society that makes the person or group feel the need to form a similar group for support and protection. In the context of society, identity politics can appear in various forms such as feminist movements, anti-racism movements, or LGBT movements. However, we must also beware of the dangers of identity politics that can divide society and create conflicts between different groups. The basis of Christian belief also teaches us to live in peace and harmony with fellow human beings. We are taught to forgive and give others a second chance. In the context of identity politics, these values and principles can help us build inclusive and peaceful societies where every individual feels valued and accepted.

Legal Review of Government Policy in Granting Coal, Gold and Nickel Mining Permits in Indonesia

Articles 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, and Article 26 concerning WPR and Articles 66-73 concerning IPR from Law no. 4/2009 on Resource and Coal Mining contains implicit rules for craft mining. To achieve peace in society, we use practical methods to resolve conflicts. People's mining, which is an option for conventional mining, is a very real occurrence. Pre-existing issues will be investigated using standard legal study methods. This study will focus on the part of the law that was amended in 2009 that regulates the extraction of minerals and coal, Minerba Law no. 4. Various types of complementary legal documents, such as books and scholarly articles on the topic, can be found in the library's collection. The findings of this study include, first, the city government no longer has the authority to issue permits after the ratification of the Minerba Law in 2020. The government is now responsible for coordinating permits as a whole. Second, if smallholder mining actually occurs, it is not clear who has the authority to designate smallholder mining zones. Third, a culture of bureaucratization will develop in smallholder mining administration as a result of the loss of the strategic role of local governments and their current status as an extension of the central government. Currently, local governments have no powers of their own beyond what has been granted to them by the federal government. Every aspect of mining - from initial exploration to post-mining environmental management (reclamation) and protection of labor health and safety - falls under the purview of the federal government. The sole purpose of local government is to facilitate central cooperation efforts.

The relationship between economic freedom and peace

AbstractClassical liberals have long held that free markets foster peaceful societies. Many argue that free trade between nations will foster economic interdependence, and peace should ensue as a result. Nevertheless, there are many dissenters. While exploring the relationship between free trade and peace is important, it is only one part of ‘economic freedom.’ More research needs to be conducted to see how countries with high levels of entrepreneurship, low levels of corruption, independent judiciaries, and sound regulatory environments might be fostering peace.

Rereading the Hudaybiyya Treaty: With Special Reference to Ibn ʿUmar’s Role in Fitan

The Treaty of Ḥudaybiyya is a brilliant chapter in Islamic history. It can be called umm muʿāhadāt al-salām (the mother of peace treaties) in Islamic history. Just as migration to Medina is a dividing line between the periods of religious oppression and political independence for Muslims, Ḥudaybiyya is a boundary between the phases of struggle and domination. The role of this treaty in the spread of Islam was evident from the beginning, and much has been written about it. However, nothing has been produced about the role of ʿAbd Allah b. ʿUmar, inspired by the Ḥudaybiyya treaty, in peacemaking. This paper argues that due to his circumstances, Ibn ʿUmar became the first person to discover the spirit of the Ḥudaybiyya treaty for procuring peace during the fitan (civil wars). His efforts were not limited to intellectual achievements, but amid the worst wars of the fitan, he tried to practically implement the soul of the Ḥudaybiyya agreement that impacted later generations. He believed that Islam could flourish in a peaceful society, as had happened after the Ḥudaybiyya treaty. The role he played in a tribal society without holding any official position makes Ibn ʿUmar’s leadership highly relevant to today’s world, where intellectual and spiritual leaders can play a role more pivotal than ever.

Not only in ancient era but also in modern scenario, here everyone is playing the “religious and communal card” to achieve the desired supremacy in society.

FEATURES OF MANAGING SOCIAL CONFLICTS BY PUBLIC AUTHORITIES

The article examines the peculiarities of managing social conflicts by public authorities. It is determined that the diversity of society can lead to conflicts due to the divergence of interests of different organizations and people. The state must intervene quickly to properly resolve disputes between the parties. In practice, the government that seems more prominent represents the state. Governments have all the power and perform all tasks on behalf of the state. According to most political definitions, the state is the only legitimate use of physical violence in society. So, by definition, it is almost involved when there is an armed conflict in society. However, violent control is not the only distinguishing feature. There are also financial, territorial, and ideological monopolies. The simultaneous implementation of these four monopolies ensures unity within the state and international independence. Various social conflicts that occur in society are a form of social catastrophe. These disasters were caused by human activity. Some of the drivers of social conflicts include gaps in economic differences, differences in political understanding between communities, discrimination, injustice, disobedience, neglect, and lack of understanding among a group of people. Proper treatment is to create peace in society. The role of local authorities is necessary to find appropriate forms of solutions. Early identification of problems and ways to solve them should be comprehensive. Identifying complex social problems is an attempt to increase sensitivity to emerging social problems. Sensitivity refers to the form of sensitivity when detecting a problem that includes frequency, prevalence, and trend. Social harmony programmes are designed as peaceful conflict resolution. Social harmony is a social condition that guarantees the creation of dynamic, harmonious and balanced relationships and social interactions between community members so that they can live peacefully side by side on the basis of equality, cohesion and true brotherhood. Maintaining peaceful conditions in a community is characterized by a harmonious social life (full tolerance and mutual support) to create social cohesion. Social conflict is a phenomenon that will continue to exist and cannot be separated in people’s lives, regardless of the positive and negative consequences that it causes. Local community culture, or often known in the community as local wisdom, can be a conflict management tool to create social harmony. The presence of local culture in the form of local wisdom, which has been agreed upon by mutual agreement, is another alternative and should be considered by the community, community leaders, the government and peace-supporting organizations as a means of resolving social conflicts.
