This study aims to analyze the influence of infrastructure and the quality of human resources (HR) on economic competitiveness in Central Java Province. In the era of globalization, competitiveness is an important indicator of regional progress. Infrastructure such as transportation, electricity, and digital connectivity support economic efficiency, while quality human resources increase productivity and innovation. Despite their importance, development imbalances remain a challenge in Central Java. This study uses panel data from BPS and is analyzed using the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) method based on Chow and Hausman tests. The results show that together, infrastructure and human capital have a significant effect on economic competitiveness. However, separately, both have a negative and insignificant influence, with regression coefficients of -0.000195 for infrastructure and -0.0176 for human capital. The Adjusted R-squared value of 0.3149 indicates that 31.49% of the variation in competitiveness is explained by these two variables. This finding is important for determining the direction of future regional development policies.

Globalization has increased the interest of Foreign Nationals (WNA) in owning property in various countries, whether for residential purposes, holidays, or investment. Indonesia and Malaysia, as two Southeast Asian nations, have different regulatory approaches regarding property ownership by WNA. This research aims to analyze the legal provisions, identify similarities and differences in regulations, and evaluate their impact on the investment climate and legal protection for WNA in both countries. The research method used is comparative law, focusing on the legal basis, forms of ownership, limitations, and legal protection. The findings indicate that Indonesia tends to be protective of land ownership by foreign parties, strictly regulated through the Basic Agrarian Law (UUPA) No. 5 of 1960, which limits WNA to Right of Use (Hak Pakai) and Right to Build (Hak Guna Bangunan/HGB) with limited durations. In contrast, Malaysia adopts a more liberal and pro-investment approach, allowing WNA to own property as freehold or leasehold based on the National Land Code 1965 and the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) program. The implications of these differences are that Indonesia's restrictive policies may reduce the attractiveness of foreign investment due to legal ambiguity and limitations in secondary transactions. Meanwhile, Malaysia offers greater legal certainty and economic appeal through freehold ownership, despite social risks such as rising property prices. This study concludes that Malaysia has a more foreigner-friendly system for property ownership, while Indonesia maintains a cautious principle. It is suggested that Indonesia consider agrarian reforms that are more transparent and provide legal certainty that balances national interests with foreign investment attractiveness.

This study examines the challenges and problems faced by Islamic education amid the complex dynamics of globalization. While globalization brings positive impacts through advances in information and communication technology, it also poses challenges such as the infiltration of global cultural values that do not always align with Islamic principles. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach using a library research method, drawing from scholarly sources in national journals and recent academic books.

The #KaburAjaDulu phenomenon that emerged in early 2025 became a digital expression of Generation Z Indonesia towards various social, economic and political unrest in the country. This hashtag not only reflects the desire to migrate, but also symbolizes criticism of the national situation that is considered not to provide hope and space to develop for young people.

The findings highlight the importance of policies that are more inclusive and responsive to the needs of the younger generation so that they not only become global actors, but also still feel a sense of belonging and want to build the homeland.
