Abstract The concept of geopolitics appears to bridge the relationship between geographical factors in contemporary politics. Through its focus on geographical factors, geopolitics has a very materialistic and objective foundation. Based on a critical examination of the implementation of the concept, it becomes clear that the geopolitical framework depends on social construction. Through qualitative methods, this article tries to explain that the concept of "Indo-Pacific" which is of international concern at the moment, is inseparable from a geopolitical construction carried out by the countries concerned. The significance of this new regional concept has been contested by some countries such as the United States, China, India, Australia, and Japan. Seeing its position at the Indo-Pacific geopolitical junction, Indonesia felt the need to make a geopolitical construction effort to encourage the creation of a better regional ecosystem, not as an arena for conflicting interests, as happened in the Asia-Pacific region. As part of the geopolitical construction effort and changing perceptions of all countries in the region, Indonesia through the ASEAN framework continues to promote the Indo-Pacific region which is open, free, and inclusive in various international forums.

AbstractLatin America is a highly culturally and socioeconomically diverse region and it has a long story dealing with a weak, inequitable, inefficient and fragmented health system. The world faces a global health crisis without precedent, where global action and solidarity are crucial. This article highlights the importance of South-South cooperation actions based on science diplomacy, from countries in Latin America, for health-related emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. As the qualitative research, this article will first present the concepts of science diplomacy and South-South Cooperation; secondly it will describe how these two concepts can contribute to emergencies associated with health related situations. Then, this article will review initiatives from Latin America to address the current pandemic. Finally, the general conclusions of the article will be presented. The management of the pandemic requires the best public health strategies contributing to its containment, but also an integrated approach using the transfer of good practices between the Global South, creating a network of scientists and diplomats working together to find possible solutions to the disease. South-South cooperation in Latin America occurs mainly bilaterally, especially with other countries in the Global South. Latin America has to work as a region to generate more spaces for collaboration, addressed by governments to achieve universal health.

Abstract As part of the political communication channel, speech is an essential tool to convey messages, especially at the global political scope. In a speech at the IMF-World Bank 2018 meeting, President Joko Widodo used the phrase 'winter is coming' from the story of the popular television series Game of Thrones as a presupposition of the global political economy situation. Based on President Jokowi's speech, this paper aims to understand the changes in the international political architecture caused by the spirit of economic liberalism from developed countries. The study applied the discourse analysis approach of Norman Fairclough's version. Referring to Fairclough, presuppositions are the key to understanding how reality is differentiated and presented. In examining the contents of the speech, the author will choose words/sentences that lexically relate to Game of Thrones or the context of de-globalization through the phenomenon of protectionism and trade war. The speech represents an attempt to protest from developing countries to the superpower countries. President Jokowi reminded superpower countries that the protectionism and trade wars will only lead to de-globalization. Instead of competing for power domination, Indonesia is calling for the idea of an equilibrium hegemony in the political economy to all member-states.

Even if they die, it is part of their destiny. Thus, the results of the study provide support for local governments to increase cooperation with Ulama in providing education to the public, increasing literacy for the spread of Covid-19, and the possibility of applying legal sanctions.

Abstract The prevalence of stunting of children under five in Indonesia is still high, namely 29.6% above the 20% limit set by WHO. In Jember Regency, the number of stunting sufferers reached 17,344 in 2018 and increased in 2019 to 19,870. Meanwhile, efforts to prevent stunting continue to be encouraged by both the central, regional, and village governments. The Local Government of Jember has promoted the 1000 HPK program, although the implementation is still facing obstacles. Thus, it is interesting to analyze the socio-economic factors that cause stunting and local government policies in handling stunting.

Meanwhile, data collection techniques consisted of in-depth interviews with open-ended questions, direct observation, and written documents.

Abstract As a global Islamic political group, Hizb ut-Tahrir (HT) has experienced many kinds of state coercive responses due its ideas that considered radical and threatening the existing modern political systems. In many places, this group has been rejected and criminalized by regimes either in Muslim majority states or in the Western states. The same experience has also been faced by HT in Indonesia that went through the change of state policy from accommodating to repressive approach. This study will focus to elaborate the response of the Indonesian government toward HTI from the lens of social movement studies by using state repression concept. This article uses the explanatory method analysis and collects data mainly from literature. This article argues that the state has used several methods to repress HT such as issuing an extraordinary law in dissolving HTI; intimidating HTI`s supporters and activists and stigmatizing or discrediting HTI image. As the result, in 2017 Indonesian government dissolved HTI, then HTI became one of forbidden organizations in Indonesia.

AbstractBased on Central Java Governor Regulation No. 31/2018, the Bojongbata Nursing Home used to providing social services for the elderly. Unfortunately, Bojongbata Nursing Home does not have a special instrument for assessing the elderly's social function. The social function assessment usually used maps of social network and list of questions related to the elderly social relationships. However, this instrument has not been able to thoroughly explore the conditions, problems and needs of the elderly. In fact, an in-depth assessment of social functioning affects the determination of appropriate interventions and helps social workers analyze the conditions and service needs of the elderly. This study aims to identify the social functioning of the elderly through the aspects of Social Resources, Social Activities, Social Networking, Social Support, and Social Role and Role Functioning. This study analyzed several elderly informants with the aim of identifying their social functioning based on potential and non-potential groups. This is done to find differences in the conditions and needs of the two. The results of this study indicate that Levin assessment theory can describe the social functioning of the elderly. There is a relationship between aspects in realizing the better social functioning of the elderly. Elderly who can make good use of social resources and have adequate social activities have a wider and stronger social network. This social network can provide the social support needed by the elderly in carrying out their social roles properly.
