The Perils of Nepotism in Governance: Implications for Democracy

The Perils of Nepotism in Governance: Implications for Democracy

Nepotism poses serious risks to democratic values. This practice can severely undermine democratic principles by compromising merit-based selection processes, eroding public trust, and reinforcing systemic inequalities. While recent events in Indonesia provide a contemporary example of nepotism’s potential impact, the issue extends beyond any single case, reflecting broader challenges faced by democracies worldwide. It becomes clear that addressing this issue requires a commitment to transparent, merit-based systems and reforms to uphold democratic principles.

Rising Wheat Imports in Indonesia: Balancing Dependency, Security, and Sustainability

Rising Wheat Imports in Indonesia: Balancing Dependency, Security, and Sustainability

Indonesian wheat imports are rising in 2023-2024. This is expected following the recent decline of wheat imports in 2022-2023 caused by global economic slowdown. Consequently, imports of cereals such as wheat and muesli reached as far as 9,47 million tonnes in volume – a slight increase of 0,747 million tonnes compared to last year — despite a decline towards $3,34B in values. The declines are a result of changes in price of cereals because of global economic slowdown.

Food Estate Program and the Path to Food Sovereignty

Food Estate Program and the Path to Food Sovereignty

Jokowi appointed Prabowo and more specifically related agencies such as the Ministry of Defense (Kemhan) to oversee the strategic logistics reserve (Cadangan Logistik Strategis/CLS) which falls within the scope of Indonesia's food estate strategy. Prabowo's appointment as Minister of Defense to secure strategic food reserves is part of food securitization in Jokowi's presidency. Securitization is part of the process of transforming a subject that was originally a political issue into a security issue. Nevertheless, what is the true meaning of Food Sovereignty? Are the various programs and policies implemented actually appropriate in dealing with the food crisis and the various problems that arise?

Business Incentives for MSME by the Ministry of Investment as a Driver of ‘Just’ Economy

Business Incentives for MSME by the Ministry of Investment as a Driver of ‘Just’ Economy

Ministry of Investment/Investment Coordinating Board has provided several assistances to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) as well as symbolically providing Business Permit (NIB) in several areas. In general, the aid recipients we contacted after providing business assistance stated that they felt a sense of 'fairness' in providing aid by the government. However, there are still several things that need to be improved regarding the provision of assistance by the Ministry of Investment. Several aid recipients also complained about the lack of continuity by the government such as guidance and other incentives.

The Polemic of RUU Kesehatan: Between Inefficiency and Politicization

The Polemic of RUU Kesehatan: Between Inefficiency and Politicization

RUU Kesehatan is one of Indonesia’s momentum to reflect back upon the national health regulation as well as identifying aspects that needs to be improved. Seeing how complex the dynamics of drafting the bill up until its legalization were, it came to a realization of how bumpy the road is in enhancing the nation’s health sector as it is also engraved with political elements inside—considering the enlargement of authority from Kemenkes. Therefore, the public becomes weary with frequent corruption, collusion, and nepotism (KKN) that is rampant within those institutions.

Just Talk No Walk: Prabowo's Impossible Peace Resolution

Just Talk No Walk: Prabowo's Impossible Peace Resolution

Shangri la Dialogue yang ke 24 telah dilaksanakan di Hotel Shangri la, Singapura. Prabowo mengeluarkan suatu gagasan yang berbeda dari tahun sebelumnya. Dibandingkan dengan hanya menyerukan prinsip-prinsip yang bersifat umum, Prabowo membawa suatu proposal untuk menyelesaikan perang Ukraina dan Rusia. Walaupun memiliki gagasan yang baik, namun banyak sekali muncul kritikan terhadap proposalnya baik dari dalam maupun luar negeri.
