This study aims to explore Taiwanese street food as nostalgia and gastrodiplomacy in contemporary Indonesian society. This study uses a qualitative method with data collection through in-depth interviews and a literature study. The results showed that: first, food nostalgia tries to connect the past and the present. The feeling expressed by the Taiwanese diaspora on food will greatly depend on their previous lived experiences and homeland memories in the past, both personally and historically, with their present living circumstances in Indonesia. Second, gastrodiplomacy connects the relationship between the present and the future. The popularity of Taiwanese food in Indonesia is increasing, especially through boba and chicken Shilin consumption. This has a positive impact on building Taiwan's image. From food nostalgia and gastro diplomacy, we can learn about the past, present, and future relationships between people and nations.

Their existence has often experienced ups and downs. This study aims to analyze the waves of Hakka migration to Indonesia and how they negotiate with national identity. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach to analyze this phenomenon with data collected from interviews and literature studies. The research results showed that the wave of Hakka migration to Indonesia does not only come from mainland China but also from Taiwan. The Hakka migration waves from mainland China largely occurred during the Qing dynasty due to overcrowded populations, the difficulty of land ownership, and government discrimination problems. Meanwhile, the Hakka migration from Taiwan occurred after the Treaty of Shimonoseki in 1895, which forced the Qing dynasty to surrender Formosa to Japan after the First Sino-Japanese war and mass company relocation in the 1980s due to rising production costs in Taiwan. Second, to negotiate their background with Indonesian identity, the Hakka have five philosophies of life called Hakkacita. This philosophy emphasizes conscience, good virtue, cohesiveness, devotion, and shared prosperity between Hakka descendants and other ethnic groups within the framework of Indonesian nationalism.

The research results showed that BCS had put gender equality as the foundation of its organization: First, BCS has a manifesto of "no leader just together, " which implies that BCS does not recognize a hierarchical organizational structure. Each member has the same rights and obligations in formulating the organization's future and making any agreed decisions. Second, there is no unequal power relation between women and men members in BCS.

But the people’s interests are often defeated by the elite. The long-term goal of this research is not to close the mining area and its activities, but to ensure that the exploration and exploitation process that has already started must prioritize ecological balance and disaster resilience. Using a qualitative method and a descriptive approach, this study analyzes the role of the government, corporation, and local communities in the framework of resources governance in order to strengthen the advocacy of civil society who are often marginalized in the existence of extractive industries. The results of the study show that the gold mining activity is contrary to the forestry law where the existing rules have been liberalized by selling state assets to private companies; the lack of added value for local communities such as limited job vacancies; the occurrence of environmental damage around the gold mining area where this area is actually a protected forest and a natural barrier from the threat of a tsunami disaster; and even though mining companies have claimed that their activities are environmentally friendly, in fact disasters are starting to appear.

In this case, a non-Muslim student felt forced by the school to wear the hijab which an Islamic attribute. As a result, there is the ambivalence of da’wah and intolerance in public institutions that are supposed to serve society fairly. The government through the Ministry of Education and Culture, the Ministry of Home Affairs, and the Ministry of Religion Affairs immediately responded by issuing a Joint Decree (SKB) of Three Ministers about educational uniforms and attributes. To analyze the ambivalence and pros cons of this phenomenon, this study uses a descriptive qualitative type. The results showed that chronologically, the time span between the case appearance and the SKB issuance was very fast, which was less than two weeks. The SKB reaps the pros and cons where on the one hand some parties think that this is an effort to secularize education, while on the other hand, some parties think that this SKB is very appropriate because Indonesia is already in an emergency situation of intolerance. However, regardless of the pros and cons, the issuance of the SKB was effective in guaranteeing the religious freedom of all education personnel and preventing ambivalence from da’wah which was distorted into intolerance.

DIY becomes the only province that has a special authority to institutionalize the administration of government by placing the roles and responsibilities of the Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat Sultanate and Kadipaten Pakualaman in filling the positions of provincial leaders. This process was legitimized by Indonesian Law No. 13 of 2012 about Special Administrative Status for Yogyakarta. But over time, polemics have emerged since Sri Sultan Hamengku Buwono X issued Sabda Raja and Dawuh Raja who reaped pros-cons and were clashed with the royal tradition's values from generation to generation. Based on these realities, it becomes interesting to discuss about the dynamics of women and politics of heritage in DIY as a critical reflection in welcoming the next leader. On the one side, the system of the Javanese-Islamic Mataram Sultanate as a cultural heritage must be maintained. But on the other side, the aspect of modernity through the struggle for gender equality also opens the opportunity for Indonesian women are also capable of being and have become capable democratic leaders in the 21 st Century. Abstrak Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta (DIY) merupakan daerah yang masih kuat mempertahankan warisan budaya, mulai dari adat istiadat hingga sistem Kasultanan Mataram Jawa-Islam. Bahkan DIY juga menjadi satu-satunya provinsi yang memiliki wewenang khusus untuk melembagakan penyelenggaraan pemerintahan dengan menempatkan peran dan tanggungjawab Kasultanan Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat dan Kadipaten Pakualaman dalam pengisian jabatan Gubernur dan Wakil Gubernur. Proses ini dilegitimasi dengan terbitnya Undang-Undang No. 13 Tahun 2012 tentang Keistimewaan Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. Akan tetapi seiring berjalannya waktu, polemik muncul semenjak Sri Sultan Hamengku Buwono X mengeluarkan Sabda Raja dan Dawuh Raja yang menuai pro-kontra dan dibenturkan dengan nilai-nilai tradisi turun temurun. Berdasarkan realitas ini, penelitian ini menjadi menarik untuk membahas tentang dinamika perempuan dan politik warisan di DIY sebagai refleksi kritis dalam menyambut pemimpin selanjutnya.

With the spirit of democratization brought about by digital technology, film communities and civil organizations in outer islands of Java utilize digital documentary film to capture several pertinent sociopolitical issues and raise public and government attention and responses. Those issues are commonly overlooked by the local media and were never a part of local government's policies. Based on our fieldwork conducted in three areas outside of the Java Island (Ambon, Aceh and Bali), where digital documentary filmmaking and civil organizations are active and vibrant, our study indicates that rather than simply producing documentaries, film communities or non-governmental organizations disseminated documentaries through public screenings to invite further engagement of audiences by discussing the film with authorities (policy makers) that were often invited in that event. In this article, we attempt to illuminate how documentary filmmaking allows the unseen and neglected issues to be articulated visually and sonically. Therefore, it would be compelling public or media attention and encouraging further government policy to resolve that matters. In other words, documentary films are a catalyst for social change by taking their roles as witness for the public and demanding responsibilities of the political authority. ABSTRAK Sejak bergulirnya demokratisasi (Reformasi) pada 1998, film dokumenter secara perlahan mengalami pertumbuhan yang lokus produksinya kian tersebar ke sejumlah wilayah di Indonesia. Dengan spirit demokratisasi yang diusung oleh teknologi digital, komunitas film dan organisasi masyarakat sipil di luar Jawa menggunakan dokumenter digital untuk merekam pelbagai masalah sosio-politik dan membangkitkan kesadaran publik maupun kepedulian serta respon pemerintah. Persoalan yang diangkat oleh film dokumenter tersebut lazimnya luput dari perhatian media massa dan tidak pernah menjadi prioritas kebijakan pemerintah daerah. Berangkat dari studi lapangan di tiga daerah luar Jawa (Ambon, Aceh dan Bali) di mana produksi film dokumenternya terbilang aktif dan hidup, studi kami mengindikasikan bahwa lebih dari sekadar memproduksi film, komunitas film dan organisasi non pemerintah mendiseminasikan film dokumenter lewat pemutaran publik. Tujuannya, mengundang keterlibatan penonton lebih jauh dengan mendiskusikan film tersebut dengan pihak yang berwenang (pengambil kebijakan) yang kadangkala diundang ke acara pemutaran.

But on the other hand, Islam is a political religion that is often used as the basis of ideology and struggle in the democratics era that upholds the constitution. Nowadays Muslims have various political channels through Islamic political party. But each Islamic party has different interests although equally portray itself as the da’wah party or Indonesian Muslim political home. In the dynamics, political behavior by using da’wah symbols and labeling was also performed by parties with nationalist genealogy like Partai Demokrasi Indonesia – Perjuangan, Partai Golongan Karya, and Partai Demokrat through the Islamic religious wing organization. One actual case we can make a referral is the DKI Jakarta governor election. That phenomenon is authentic evidence that the negotiation between da’wah and practical politics is happen. To deepen the phenomenon, this study used qualitative types, descriptive approach, and interactive data analyst methods by Miles and Huberman. The research results showed that the da’wah agendas which organized tends to be incidental to adjust with the political constellation that they face and optimized just ahead of key moments in the political calendar like regional head election. It can be concluded that the orientation of Islamic religious wing organization by nationalist political party are more on political da’wah rather than da’wah politics. So that in the negotiations between da’wah and practical politics, the political aspect is more advantaged than the da’wah aspect.

As we know, rice is the largest agricultural products owned by Indonesia. Indonesia has an important role as the third largest rice producer in the world after China and India. But in the reality, Indonesia as the third largest rice producer in the world have problems going to the inability of the State to meet the domestic rice needs. Consequently, when the agricultural sector collapsed and was not able to meet food needs, especially the needs of the rice, it will create the conditions for the food crisis. To maintain rice production, the government is forced to rely on rice import policy, which in turn makes Indonesia is always dependent on the supply of imported rice. When associated with dependency theory, agricultural development in Indonesia is actually ideologically and praxis has undergone a period of transformation. Agricultural development in Indonesia has led to stagnation and could threaten food sovereignty and food security. The result of research shows that as a solution, dependency theory offers two alternatives: first, reducing the relationship with imported rice. Second, Indonesia had to make a breakthrough by creating food security through policies that support the growth of the national rice production. This research uses qualitative research, descriptive approach, and emphasizes on literature study. A. Research Background The agricultural sector is a heart of defense in achieving food security. It is because agricultural sector has function as a major sector in providing food for the community needs. Declining productivity of the agricultural sector in national development, especially in food security will bring the nation to a food crisis. In
