Waste management is increasingly becoming a serious problem in this world, including in Indonesia. Several regions in Indonesia have declared themselves as “waste emergency” areas. Various policies have long been established by the government, on national, provincial, and city/regency level, and the community and other stakeholders also take part in waste management. However, it seems as if there is no connection between government policies and society, so waste management always seems to start from the beginning. Applying qualitative research methods, this study fund that Semarang City had the regulation on waste management since 2012 but the regulation is not enacted based on the community concern on the waste problem; the community activities in waste management are very variable; and the impacts of ineffective program implementation because of the less coordination between government and stakeholders. This study findings underline the importance of community-based regulation. Otherwise, it impacted in ineffective of implementation of regulation. This study also contributed to the portrait of dynamics of waste management in a city context.

废物管理正日益成为包括印度尼西亚在内的世界上的一个严重问题。印尼多个地区已宣布自己为 "废物紧急 "地区。长期以来,政府在国家、省、市/区各级制定了各种政策,社区和其他利益相关者也参与了废物管理。然而,政府政策与社会之间似乎没有联系,因此垃圾管理似乎总是从头开始。通过定性研究方法,本研究发现,三宝垄市自 2012 年起就制定了废物管理条例,但该条例并没有根据社区对废物问题的关注而制定;社区在废物管理方面的活动非常多变;由于政府与利益相关者之间的协调较少,导致计划实施效果不佳。这项研究结果强调了以社区为基础的法规的重要性。否则,会影响法规的有效实施。本研究还有助于描绘城市背景下的废物管理动态。

Connecting the Pipes: Navigating the Fragmented Rural Water Governance in the Philippines Through Common-Pool Resource Design Principles and Social Capital 连接管道:通过公共池资源设计原则和社会资本引导菲律宾分散的农村水治理

Access to water for domestic use remains a challenge in many rural areas of the Philippines. To address this, the government constructs water systems and transfers their operation and maintenance to community-based organizations (CBOs), but the sustainability of these systems varies widely. The literature attributes this variability to fragmented governance. However, this overlooks the implementation gap at the community level, where CBOs are both managers and end-users. This study examines how institutional arrangements shaped by Ostrom's Common-Pool Resource (CPR) principles and social capital influence collective action and rural water governance. Drawing from qualitative data across three CBO-managed water systems in Janiuay, Iloilo, the findings highlight three key factors to sustainable rural water governance: participatory decision-making fostering trust and ownership, balancing external support and self-governance, and cultivating social capital were critical factors in fostering cooperation and successful self-governance of CBO-managed rural water systems.

在菲律宾的许多农村地区,获得家庭用水仍然是一个挑战。为了解决这个问题,政府建立了供水系统,并将其运营和维护转移给社区组织(cbo),但这些系统的可持续性差异很大。文献将这种可变性归因于分散的治理。然而,这忽略了社区层面上的实施差距,在社区层面上,cbo既是管理者又是最终用户。本研究考察了由奥斯特罗姆的公共池资源(CPR)原则和社会资本形成的制度安排如何影响集体行动和农村水治理。通过对伊洛伊洛州janiway三个cbo管理的水系统的定性数据分析,研究结果强调了可持续农村水治理的三个关键因素:促进信任和所有权的参与式决策、平衡外部支持和自治、培养社会资本是促进cbo管理的农村水系统合作和成功自治的关键因素。

This study critically examines the inclusiveness of Taiwan's Net Zero Emission Policy, focusing on how marginalized and underprivileged communities are affected by the country's energy transition. By applying the social construction of target populations (SCTP) framework, the study explores how different groups, such as low-income households and corporations, are perceived and treated in policy design. The research highlights that despite the ambitious goals of decarbonization, the policy inadvertently favors economically advantaged groups, leaving vulnerable populations at a disadvantage. A case study of the Chuanlong Irrigation Channel micro-hydropower project illustrates how bureaucratic obstacles and lack of support exclude marginalized communities from participating in renewable energy initiatives. The findings call for more inclusive policies that actively engage all segments of society, ensuring a just energy transition. Recommendations for future research focus on addressing these social equity gaps and improving policy frameworks.

本研究检视台湾净零排放政策的包容性,并著重在检视台湾能源转型对边缘及弱势社群的影响。本研究运用目标人群的社会建构(SCTP)框架,探讨在政策设计中如何感知和对待低收入家庭和企业等不同群体。该研究强调,尽管有雄心勃勃的脱碳目标,但该政策无意中偏向了经济优势群体,使弱势群体处于不利地位。川龙灌渠微型水电项目的案例研究表明,官僚主义障碍和缺乏支持使边缘化社区无法参与可再生能源倡议。研究结果呼吁采取更具包容性的政策,积极吸引社会各阶层参与,确保公正的能源转型。对未来研究的建议侧重于解决这些社会公平差距和改善政策框架。

Women hold a pivotal role in the global food supply chain, particularly in developing countries. However, traditional agricultural knowledge, often preserved by women, faces marginalization due to modern, capital-driven systems. This study, employing a feminist ethnographic approach, explores the experiences of Dayak Benawan women in Sanggau Regency, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Through interviews and participation in daily activities, I examined the community's food chain system. The findings reveal a conflict between preserving livelihoods and adapting to capitalist pressures. The integration of capital into indigenous food systems has sidelined women's knowledge, undermining their role in sustainable practices. This dynamic reflects broader tensions between capitalist ideologies, which prioritize profit, and indigenous perspectives that view nature as inseparable from societal well-being. The marginalization of Dayak Benawan women and their traditional knowledge illustrates the need to revalue indigenous contributions to sustainable food systems amidst global economic transformations.

妇女在全球食品供应链中发挥着关键作用,特别是在发展中国家。然而,通常由妇女保存的传统农业知识由于现代资本驱动的制度而面临边缘化。本研究采用女性主义民族志的方法,探讨了印尼西加里曼丹Sanggau Regency的Dayak Benawan妇女的经历。通过采访和参与日常活动,我考察了社区的食物链系统。研究结果揭示了维持生计和适应资本主义压力之间的冲突。将资本纳入土著粮食系统使妇女的知识边缘化,削弱了她们在可持续实践中的作用。这种动态反映了资本主义意识形态之间更广泛的紧张关系,资本主义意识形态优先考虑利润,而土著观点认为自然与社会福祉密不可分。Dayak Benawan妇女及其传统知识的边缘化表明,有必要在全球经济转型中重新评估土著对可持续粮食系统的贡献。

Environmental policies are essential for promoting sustainability, yet their implementation often falls short due to governance complexities, institutional barriers, and socioeconomic disparities. Despite international agreements and evolving policy frameworks, the gap between policy design and execution remains a persistent challenge. Bureaucratic fragmentation, conflicting stakeholder interests, and limited technological capacity hinder effective enforcement. Additionally, political inertia and economic constraints exacerbate disparities in policy outcomes, particularly in developing nations. This study examines the structural inefficiencies that contribute to policy failures and explores potential solutions, including decentralized governance, enhanced stakeholder engagement, and technological innovations. Special attention is given to environmental governance in Asia, where diverse political and economic contexts shape policy effectiveness. By analyzing case studies and existing research, this paper highlights the critical need for adaptive, participatory, and enforceable governance models to bridge the environmental policy-practice divide and ensure sustainable development.

环境政策对于促进可持续发展至关重要,但由于治理复杂、体制障碍和社会经济差异,这些政策的执行往往不尽如人意。尽管有国际协定和不断发展的政策框架,但政策设计与执行之间的差距仍然是一个长期存在的挑战。官僚机构各自为政、利益相关者之间的利益冲突以及有限的技术能力阻碍了政策的有效执行。此外,政治惰性和经济制约加剧了政策结果的差异,尤其是在发展中国家。本研究探讨了导致政策失效的结构性低效问题,并探索了潜在的解决方案,包括分权治理、加强利益相关者的参与和技术创新。本研究特别关注亚洲的环境治理,因为亚洲不同的政治和经济环境决定了政策的有效性。通过分析案例研究和现有研究,本文强调了对适应性、参与性和可执行治理模式的迫切需要,以弥合环境政策与实践之间的鸿沟,确保可持续发展。

North Korea's weapons of mass destruction (WMD) development and recent nuclear law permitting preemptive nuclear use have jeopardized US and ROK security. Analyzing possible channels of Pyongyang's nuclear brinkmanship and military provocations through international relations theories—including nuclear coercive diplomacy and the nuclear stability-instability paradox—and the “escalation to de-escalation” military strategy reveals concerning trends. Pyongyang continues to develop new WMDs and conduct military drills involving tactical nuclear weapons, enhancing Kim Jong Un's adventurous brinkmanship. In response, the United States must adopt a strong nuclear retaliation strategy, expedite its nuclear triad modernization plan, and support an effective South Korean missile defense system. A military contingency plan, and diplomatic efforts to persuade Kim to abandon WMDs are crucial. The United States must take a firm stance against nuclear threats from North Korea, ensuring a robust defense and encouraging denuclearization. This multifaceted approach will help address the security challenges posed by North Korea's nuclear program.

The proliferation of drones to states and non-state actors has created newer challenges for national security & border management. Globally, drones are being used by security forces as force multipliers in military operations, while non-state actors are employing drones for carrying out terror strikes, smuggling arms, narcotics, and by citizen journalists and other groups for disseminating information on government crackdown on public protests. The paper traces the increasing usage of drones in India, especially since 2019, while also analyzing the multifarious challenges faced by Indian security forces and law enforcement agencies from the use of drones by non-state actors. It analyses the rules and regulations that have been put in place in India to manage the spread of UAS/drones in the country while not stifling the domestic manufacturing. Finally, the paper explores the possible systems that have been explored by India and other countries to counter UAS/drones and the challenges posed in effectively countering drones in border regions.

This study explores the digital disparities in Myanmar, particularly in the Education Sector, and the challenges the country faces in achieving sustainable digitalization. Employing both quantitative and qualitative research methods, including surveys and interviews, the researchers collected data from online learner students across various regions in Myanmar to assess the digital skills gap and access to online education. The findings reveal significant digital divides exacerbated by the 2021 political crisis, with issues such as unstable internet access, frequent power outages, and financial constraints impeding progress. These challenges disproportionately affect rural and conflict-prone areas. Despite efforts toward digitization, many students lack access to essential digital resources, further widening the digital gap. The study concludes that strategic interventions are necessary to address these disparities in Myanmar's digital future.

本研究探讨了缅甸的数字差距,特别是在教育部门,以及该国在实现可持续数字化方面面临的挑战。研究人员采用定量和定性研究方法,包括调查和访谈,收集了缅甸不同地区在线学习者的数据,以评估数字技能差距和在线教育的获取情况。调查结果显示,2021年的政治危机加剧了严重的数字鸿沟,互联网接入不稳定、频繁停电和财政限制等问题阻碍了进步。这些挑战对农村和易发生冲突地区的影响尤为严重。尽管努力实现数字化,但许多学生无法获得必要的数字资源,进一步扩大了数字差距。该研究的结论是,有必要采取战略干预措施,以解决缅甸数字未来的这些差距。

The article compares the rhetorical strategies of two of the most popular post-martial law presidents in the Philippines, Joseph Estrada (1998–2001) and Rodrigo Duterte (2016–2022). Adopting Laclau's definition of populism and localizing De Cleen and Stavrakakis's analysis of socio-spatial dichotomies, I examine the political logic that guided the consolidation of the people and the formation of antagonistic frontiers during the Estrada and Duterte presidencies. I identify the nodal points in their articulation of sympathy, compassion, elite opposition, political will, and belongingness, and plot them on a down/up and in/out axes. In uncovering the operation of populist logic in their political speeches, the article finds that leveraging people's frustrations and unsatisfied demands reinforced Estrada's and Duterte's ability to mobilize support and project themselves as the people's protector and champion. Through an in-depth interrogation of their populist articulation, the article contributes to a more nuanced understanding of populism's durability and enduring appeal.

本文比较了菲律宾戒严后最受欢迎的两位总统——约瑟夫·埃斯特拉达(1998-2001)和罗德里戈·杜特尔特(2016-2022)的修辞策略。采用拉克劳对民粹主义的定义,并将德克林和斯塔夫拉卡基斯对社会空间二分法的分析本土化,我考察了在埃斯特拉达和杜特尔特担任总统期间指导人民巩固和形成敌对边界的政治逻辑。我确定了他们表达同情、同情、精英反对、政治意愿和归属感的节点,并将它们绘制在上下和内外坐标轴上。在揭示民粹主义逻辑在他们的政治演讲中的运作时,文章发现,利用人民的挫折和未满足的要求,加强了埃斯特拉达和杜特尔特动员支持的能力,并将自己塑造成人民的保护者和捍卫者。通过对他们民粹主义表达方式的深入探究,本文有助于更细致地理解民粹主义的持久性和持久的吸引力。
