This research discusses the role of the pillars of democracy, namely the rule of law, community participation, and government transparency, in building Indonesia's national resilience in the era of globalisation. Using a qualitative approach based on literature analysis, this study finds that the rule of law supports social stability through the enforcement of justice, community participation strengthens government legitimacy, and transparency increases accountability and public trust. Global challenges such as economic dependency and radical ideologies require strengthening democracy through legal reform, political education, and administrative digitalisation. With this strategy, Indonesia can face the dynamics of globalisation while maintaining its national stability and sovereignty.  

The Post-Truth phenomenon has posed significant challenges to global democracy, particularly through the spread of disinformation that undermines public trust in political institutions and democratic processes. In this era, emotions and personal beliefs are prioritized over objective facts, exacerbating political polarization and creating an environment where hoaxes and disinformation can influence political decisions and citizen participation. Furthermore, the Post-Truth era impacts global mobility, as disinformation on issues such as migration, international policies, and ethnic identity heightens tensions between nations and threatens the integrity of international policies. This research aims to explore how disinformation in the Post-Truth era poses a threat to the stability of democracy and global mobility. Using a literature review method from various academic sources, this article analyzes the impact of disinformation on political processes, security, and international relations in the digital era. The findings indicate that disinformation significantly damages democracy and hinders global mobility, highlighting the need for collective measures to combat this threat.  

This study highlights the importance of implementing human relations principles in creating a harmonious and productive work environment. Open communication, empathy, and constructive conflict management were found to be key factors in building positive work relationships between employees and managers. Employees who feel valued and listened to tend to be more engaged in their work, increasing motivation and morale, which ultimately impacts the performance of the team and the organization as a whole. In addition, effective conflict management can strengthen interpersonal relationships and create a work atmosphere that is more conducive to collaboration and innovation. This study also shows that poorly managed conflict can damage work relationships and reduce productivity. In such situations, a tense work environment can lower employee morale, increase turnover rates, and hinder the achievement of organizational goals. Therefore, organizations need to actively develop strategies that support clear and effective communication, as well as pay attention to employee emotional well-being. Building an inclusive work culture and providing constructive conflict resolution mechanisms are essential to maintaining the stability and sustainability of productivity in the long term.

Southeast Asia, as a strategic region connecting two of the world's major oceans, faces a range of maritime security challenges, both traditional, such as territorial disputes in the South China Sea, and non-traditional, such as piracy, human trafficking, and illegal fishing. This article discusses maritime security strategies in the region, with a primary focus on maritime diplomacy cooperation under the ASEAN framework. Using maritime security theory, maritime diplomacy, and a literature analysis, the article examines the effectiveness of ASEAN's regional cooperation in addressing the complexities of maritime threats in Southeast Asia. The study's findings indicate that although challenges such as strong nationalism and geopolitical disputes still hinder collaboration, ASEAN has made progress in building more structured cooperation mechanisms. The article emphasizes that strengthening maritime diplomacy between countries, as well as with global actors, is an effective step to ensure stability, security, and sustainability in Southeast Asia's maritime domain.

This paper explores the difficulties of unblocking the operations of Black Sea ports that remain under Ukrainian control, as well as the geopolitical dynamics between Russia and Ukraine in the area. There are two primary obstacles: first, Ukraine must preserve its coastal defense capabilities against the threat of Russian invasion without undermining the security of its land; second, it is crucial to ensure that Russia adheres to the regulations that safeguard freedom of navigation in the Black Sea. Since Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014, Russia's influence in the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea has expanded, jeopardizing the security interests of Ukraine as well as Western partners, such as the US and NATO. The analysis suggests measures that NATO and other allies can implement to enhance maritime security in the region, including bolstering Ukraine's navy and augmenting NATO's presence in the Black Sea. This dispute not only impacts relations between Ukraine and Russia, but also influences regional political and security stability in Southeastern Europe as well as broader international diplomacy.

Letjen Sutoyo RW 03 Lowowaru is an urban area in Malang City. This area has a Health Center that plays a vital role in maintaining public health. The aging process is characterized by a decrease in the body's ability to adapt to external stress, which leads to a decrease in the physiological function of organs, systems, and overall body ability. One of the important functions of the body is to form balance, which refers to the ability to maintain the center of the body's position against the supporting base when standing, sitting, moving, or walking (Winter, 1995 in Howe, et al., 2008). This balance is essential to maintain stability when moving from one position to another (Lee & Scudds, 2003).

This paper describes the dynamics of legal politics in the regulation of Simultaneous Regional Elections in Indonesia with a focus on the effectiveness of implementation and its impact on local democracy. Simultaneous Regional Elections, which began in 2015, are the government's efforts to improve the efficiency of regional head elections while strengthening the democratic system. However, its implementation faces various challenges, such as regulatory complexity, potential political conflict, and impacts on the quality of representation at the local level. This study uses a juridical-normative approach with a qualitative analysis method to evaluate the laws and regulations governing Simultaneous Regional Elections, including Law Number 10 of 2016 and its implementing policies. Data were obtained through literature studies, legal documents, and interviews with relevant stakeholders. The results of the study show that, although Simultaneous Regional Elections bring benefits in the form of budget efficiency and strengthening political stability, this policy also poses a number of challenges. Among them are the gap in local government capacity, strengthening political oligarchy, and decreasing the quality of community participation at the local level. In addition, the implementation of Simultaneous Regional Elections tends to sacrifice regional autonomy in the context of local democracy, given the homogenization of election times that do not always match regional needs. This study recommends the need for a revision of regulations that are more adaptive to local needs, increasing public political education, and strengthening the capacity of election organizers to ensure that Simultaneous Regional Elections can run effectively without sacrificing the principles of local democracy.

This study explores the international impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, focusing on its economic, political, and security dimensions. Economically, the conflict has disrupted global supply chains, especially in energy and agricultural sectors, causing price volatility and inflation worldwide. Politically, it has reshaped international alliances, with Western countries reinforcing NATO and imposing sanctions on Russia, while other nations maintain neutrality or align strategically. In the security sphere, the conflict has heightened tensions between major powers and triggered increased military spending globally. The study employs a qualitative method using a literature review approach, analyzing primary and secondary sources such as policy documents, academic articles, and international reports. Recommendations include strengthening multilateral diplomacy to mediate the conflict and addressing the cascading economic and security effects through international cooperation. The study concludes that mitigating the impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict requires comprehensive strategies that balance geopolitical interests and global stability.    

Corruption is a serious crime that has a wide impact on economic stability, public trust, and governance. Impoverishment punishment, as a form of alternative sanction, aims to provide a deterrent effect for perpetrators of corruption by confiscating assets obtained illegally. This study analyzes the effectiveness of the implementation of impoverishment punishment in the context of the legal system in Indonesia. The approach used is a normative and empirical study by evaluating existing regulations, case studies of the implementation of impoverishment punishment, and its impact on perpetrators and prevention of corruption in the future. The results of the study show that although impoverishment punishment has the potential to be an effective instrument, its implementation faces various challenges, including weak law enforcement, political resistance, and regulatory limitations. Therefore, legal reform and institutional strengthening are needed to ensure that this punishment can be implemented optimally in efforts to eradicate corruption.

The application of Pancasila as an ethical foundation in law enforcement against criminal acts of terrorism in Indonesia highlights the importance of integrating humanitarian values and human rights principles. This article analyses how Pancasila, with its focus on social justice and humane treatment, distinguishes Indonesia's approach from repressive methods commonly applied in other countries. The research method used in this article is a descriptive qualitative approach, which includes document analysis as well as in-depth interviews with various stakeholders, including law enforcement, academics, and deradicalisation practitioners. The data obtained is analysed to evaluate the effectiveness of deradicalisation programmes based on the principles of Pancasila and its impact on reducing radicalisation as well as reintegration of former terrorism perpetrators. By emphasising the need for a balanced policy between security and human rights, the Pancasila-based approach proved to be more effective and sustainable in the long run. Challenges in the consistent application of Pancasila values are faced in the context of globalisation and advances in information technology. The results show that this approach not only reduces radicalisation but also facilitates the reintegration of former terrorism perpetrators into society. In conclusion, the application of Pancasila in law enforcement contributes significantly to national stability and can be a model for other countries in countering global terrorism.

This study aims to compare the bankruptcy application procedures between State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) and Regional-Owned Enterprises (BUMD). Bankruptcy is a condition that significantly impacts economic stability, both nationally and regionally. In this case, both types of enterprises are regulated by different regulations but with similar underlying principles. Therefore, this research examines the differences and similarities in bankruptcy procedures for BUMN and BUMD, as well as the authority each possesses in the bankruptcy application process. Additionally, this study highlights the importance of harmonizing regulations governing bankruptcy procedures to ensure the coherence of the prevailing legal system. The research method used is normative legal research with a legislative approach and a conceptual approach. This research reveals that although there are similarities in objectives, significant procedural differences require adjustments to create uniformity and legal certainty in resolving bankruptcy issues for both types of enterprises.

Violence against women is a global issue that continues to increase. SIMFONI PPA data shows an increasing trend in cases of violence against women in Indonesia, with 11,712 victims in 2023. The purpose of this study is to explain how the UPTD PPA of Blitar City implements a policy of handling services for cases of violence against women and find obstacles faced in its implementation. Talcott Parsons' structural functional theory is used to analyze how social systems function in the context of protecting women to maintain stability and balance in society. This study uses qualitative, descriptive methods with data collection techniques through participatory observation, interviews, and documentation. The results are that the UPTD provides six services for protecting women and children, namely complaints, outreach, case management, shelter, mediation, and assistance. Then referring to PERPRES No. 55 of 2024, the number of services has been increased to eleven. However, social challenges such as negative stigma and limited human resources hinder policy implementation. Therefore, UPTD PPA Kota Blitar continues to strive to provide comprehensive services by involving external parties for legal and psychological assistance which then emphasizes the importance of increasing capacity and human resources to ensure effective protection services for victims of violence at the local level.

The Horn of Africa waters are the busiest trade routes and are often passed by thousands of merchant ships worldwide. Merchant ships must overcome the threat of Piracy in the Horn of Africa waters, and the danger comes from Somalia, the center of pirate operations. This article discusses how international law, more precisely the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), reduces acts of ship piracy in the Horn of Africa waters, either in the form of court sentences or by sending patrol teams and forming military operations under the auspices of the U.N. or operating under UNCLOS law to combat Piracy. Piracy or ship hijacking is a universal problem that the international community must consider because the impacts it causes, of course, have a global impact and disrupt the stability of the world economy of international trade, that is why  must be eliminated from their roots, namely the failed Somali government. The novelty in this study is the need for more literature discussing the role of international law in reducing acts of ship piracy in the Horn of Africa waters.

Banking is crucial in efforts to prevent corruption, serving as the frontline in financial management and transactions. This article examines the role of education and training in combating corruption within the banking sector. The study aims to demonstrate that corruption in banking can undermine public trust and economic stability. I employ a literature review and observations of education and training initiatives aimed at corruption prevention in banking. Key issues identified include employees' inadequate understanding of work ethics and anti-corruption policies, along with insufficient systematic training. This research analyzes various education and training programs implemented in banks and assesses their effectiveness in enhancing employee awareness and commitment to anti-corruption practices. I highlight that comprehensive education and continuous employee training are essential for significantly mitigating the risk of corruption in banking by fostering a transparent and ethical organizational culture. It is critical for banking institutions to enhance anti-corruption awareness among their employees. Training programs should engage all employee levels and include regular evaluations to assess their effectiveness. Ultimately, the goal is to create a safer banking environment free from corrupt practices.

By referring to the 1945 Constitution and Law no. 23 of 2014, this analysis highlights the importance of coordination and supervision between the two entities to achieve effective and efficient government goals. This relationship involves aspects of authority, institutions, finance and supervision, all of which play a role in maintaining the integrity and stability of the government system. In the digital era, new challenges emerge, such as the spread of inaccurate information, which require special attention to ensure fair and inclusive societal participation.

The relocation of Jakarta's capital to the National Capital Region (IKN) has sparked a heated debate in public policy circles. This article delves into the reasons why the House of Representatives (DPR) rejected the proposal, highlighting several key factors. The financial aspect was a major concern, given the high cost of building new infrastructure in IKN Nusantara, particularly in light of limited state funds and other development priorities. The social impact was also an important consideration, as population displacement, changes in lifestyle, and economic uncertainty were among the many potential consequences of moving the capital. Additionally, environmental issues such as ecosystem damage and increased pollution were also significant points of concern. Political stability was another crucial factor in the DPR's decision, as the potential disruption to stability caused by the move would need to be carefully assessed. The DPR has emphasized the importance of broad public consultation to ensure that any proposed relocation is supported by the community. An article highlights South Africa's successful capital relocation as an example of effective planning, strong public participation, and the resolution of infrastructure issues. These remarks can be applied to the Indonesian context to achieve a successful relocation.

Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are business activities that are able to expand employment opportunities and provide broad economic services to the community, and can play a role in the process of equalizing and increasing community income and play a role in realizing national stability, especially economic stability. Strategy is an integrated plan designed to achieve certain goals, taking into account existing resources and the surrounding environment. This research is motivated by the lack of business capital owned by MSME owners, limited human resources, lack of market place for MSME marketing and lack of provision of facilities from the village government. The formulation of the research problem is What is the Village Government's Strategy for Organizing Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises in Sukajadi Village, Sadananya District, Ciamis Regency? The method used in this research is qualitative research methods. The data collection techniques are using interviews, observation and documentation. Data processing/analysis techniques in this research are data reduction, data presentation and data validity. This research was carried out in Sukajadi Village, Sadananya District, Ciamis Regency. 

The problem of recidivist narcotics is a significant complex issue in Indonesia, including in Batam Class IIA Prison. This phenomenon raises concerns because of its negative impact on society and social stability. This study aims to analyze the juridical factors that encourage recidivism of narcotics crimes and identify obstacles in the implementation of rehabilitation programs in Batam Class IIA Prison. The research methods used are normative juridical and empirical sociology. The normative juridical method is used to analyze various laws and regulations that are the legal basis for handling recidivism, such as Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics. Meanwhile, empirical sociological methods are used to collect data through interviews and direct observations in the field to understand the implementation of rehabilitation programs and social factors that contribute to recidivism. The results of the study show that weaknesses in the criminal justice system, lack of post-release support, social stigma, and an unsupportive social environment are the main factors that encourage recidivists. A justice system that focuses more on punishment than rehabilitation leads to a lack of effective rehabilitation programs. Minimal post-liberation support, such as difficulty finding work and housing, also contributes to high rates of recidivism. Social stigma and discrimination exacerbate the condition of ex-convicts, hindering them from reintegrating into society. An unstable social environment, especially one with easy access to narcotics, is also a driving factor for recidivism. Based on these findings, this study provides several suggestions, including increasing the number and quality of professionals in the field of rehabilitation, adjusting skills training programs to be relevant to the needs of the job market, and closer cooperation between law enforcement agencies, the government, and the community in supporting the reintegration of former prisoners. It is hoped that these suggestions can help reduce recidivism rates and increase the effectiveness of the penitentiary system in Indonesia.  

This study aims to analyze juridically the use of the company's shares as an object of fiduciary guarantee in Batam City. The background of this research is rooted in the need for a deep understanding of the effectiveness and security of the company's shares used as fiduciary guarantees, as well as their influence on legal certainty and local economic stability. In Indonesia, the use of shares as fiduciary guarantees is regulated by Law Number 42 of 1999 concerning Fiduciary Guarantees and Law Number 40 of 2007 concerning Limited Liability Companies, but the implementation of this law in the field often encounters various obstacles, especially in Batam City which is a strategic business center. This study uses a qualitative method with a document study approach, in- depth interviews, and field observations to collect data. The subject of this study involves notaries, fiduciary guarantee registration officials, investors, and business actors in Batam. The results of the study show that there are several significant obstacles in the implementation of the use of shares as an object of fiduciary guarantee, which include procedural complexity, variations in notary practices, and limited administrative infrastructure. Despite this, stocks are still a trusted and used instrument because of their liquidity and economic value. Based on these findings, suggestions include expanding education and training for notaries to improve understanding and thoroughness in the fiduciary guarantee administration process. The Batam City Government is advised to update and simplify related regulations to support efficiency and legal certainty. In addition, investments in information technology are needed to modernize the registration and document handling processes, which can increase the transparency and speed of the fiduciary assurance process.

Government institutions have an important role in maintaining state stability, but often separatist conflicts arise due to dissatisfaction with a government system that is considered unfair. This research aims to examine the structure and dynamics of the government systems of Indonesia and Malaysia, which adhere to a presidential system, and Malaysia, which adhere to a constitutional monarchy system, so as to provide a comprehensive understanding of political dynamics in Southeast Asia. The research method uses a qualitative descriptive approach with literature study to understand the structure and dynamics of the Indonesian and Malaysian government systems. The research results show that Indonesia has a presidential system of government with strong executive power, while Malaysia has a constitutional-monarchical system with a complex division of power between the prime minister and the states. Although both share historical and cultural similarities, differences in their governmental structures lead to different strengths and weaknesses in the exercise of executive power and the relationship between heads of state and heads of government. In conclusion, although Indonesia and Malaysia have historical and cultural similarities, differences in their government systems result in different dynamics in the exercise of executive power and the relationship between the head of state and head of government. Understanding these differences helps clarify the challenges and opportunities faced by both countries in building and strengthening their governance systems in accordance with the needs and dynamics of their societies. Through this research, it is hoped that it can provide a deeper understanding of the structure and dynamics of the government systems of the two countries, as well as their implications.
