High trust in government’s capability is the key to public compliance in supporting COVID-19 management. The paramedic is a profession that has received attention during times of pandemics because they are on duty as frontlines with a high risk of transmission. This research analyzed a survey of 328 paramedics living in Jakarta to examine their perceptions of the COVID-19 pandemic, the government's readiness, the picture of their psychological condition, their trust in the government, and their belief in themselves in health services. The survey was conducted one week after WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic. This descriptive study indicates that most respondents have serious concerns about the transmission of the virus. On the side, they are obliged by an oath of service, which demands that they are always ready to serve. Only 30% believe the government can handle COVID-19. All respondents strongly supported the "lockdown" policy in every public facility. This finding is consistent with interview data after the highest peak of COVID-19 transmission in September 2021.These findings also point that low trust is driven by inconsistent and less convincing communication of political officials. Despite paramedics' risky conditions, they are responsible for working, but paramedics at the forefront of handling COVID-19 patients require support policies such as higher incentives and the safest protective tools.

Democracy operates through the mechanisms of society. Today, technology has become an integral part of societal development, has permeated many aspects of life, and is expected to play an important role in democracy. The government, activists, and academics have all advocated for the use of technology in government, known as e-government. While there is academic debate about its impact on democracy, this article believes it is critical to place impact after development. This viewpoint is useful for engaging in academic debate. Assuming that each stage has its own timetable, this article asks, "What stage is e-government at right now?" Looking at the indicators measured by various agencies and positioning them as shared awareness of e-government, it is possible to conclude that today is the stage of e-government development. The answer may serve as a reminder to academics researching the impact of e-government.

This study aims to examine the legal consequences caused by the marriage bond between a man and a woman, namely for the sake of law there is a mixture of assets between the two. This mixing of treasures led to the emergence of common property. However, there are exceptions to this mixture of assets, namely assets obtained before marriage, assets obtained based on gifts and assets obtained based on inheritance. So even though the mixing of assets occurs by law, it does not mean that this situation cannot be avoided. The existence of a marriage agreement that explicitly separates the assets of husband and wife in marriage. By entering into a Marriage Agreement, the two prospective husband and wife are entitled to prepare some deviations from the laws and regulations regarding the association of assets, as long as the agreement does not violate good morals or general rules and as long as all provisions are respected. This article will analyze and discuss the development of regulations regarding Marriage Agreements in Indonesia.

This study seeks to describe the development of civil society. In the realm of political science, the role of civil society is one of the benchmarks for the development of democracy. In Indonesia, the transition period was marked by the collapse of Suharto's New Order, accompanied by the rapid growth of civil society. However, there has not been much research on the development of civil society in the local sphere. This research seeks to fill the gaps related to civil society development and democracy in the local sphere by focusing on Bali. The study used a qualitative method, particularly participant observation and interview. This study finds, first, the increasing tension between civil society actors and the state. Its shown in the state's efforts to limit the expression of civilian dissatisfaction with state policies. Second, the state's role is increasing in the life of civil society in Bali. In the context of Bali, Perda No. 4 of 2019 on Desa Adat shows recognition for indigenous peoples in Bali. The case of Bali displays the uniqueness of how the customs of the Balinese people, particularly in the civil society arena, influence the relationship with the state. It shows the inequality of power relations between the state and society. It confirms that tension between the state and civil society strengthened after policies that increased the state's intervention in civil society.

Law Number 18 of 2017 on the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers is a policy product that is a comprehensive correction to Law Number 39 of 2004 on the Placement and Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers. Law Number 18/2017 mandates stages of protection by the state, from when the Indonesian migrant workers (IMW) candidate has not yet been dispatched; when IMW works in the destination country; and after IMW completes its work contract. The law also regulates the division of tasks among government officials, from the village level; regional government; to the central government, including the network of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia abroad. The stages of protection services and the involvement of various government agencies and other parties are necessary because the problems surrounding them are also complex. The question that arises is how the policies and actions of these various agencies may interact harmoniously so that IMW protection services can take place on a sustainable basis? This study found that the integration of data and information systems can improve the performance of IMW protection services. The integration of the system also supports the formation of a sustainable IMW protection service ecosystem.

The Pancasila Ideology Development Agency or BPIP was formed due to the urgency of creating a state apparatus that functions to maintain the application of Pancasila values in the life of the nation and state. BPIP also acts to formulate an outline of the Pancasila ideology, coordinate, synchronize, advocate, monitor, evaluate, recommend, develop and control strategic policies and regulations for development. Of the many tasks and functions of BPIP, this article discusses one of the functions, namely regulatory oversight. This regulatory oversight function aims to monitor, evaluate, and harmonize regional and central regulations. They are in line with Pancasila's values inclusive, democratic, and socially just. Regulatory oversight is carried out by the Deputy for Legal Affairs, Advocacy, and Regulatory Oversight. The strategic aspect of the Deputy for Law, Advocacy and Regulatory Oversight, in this case, is the implementation of an effective and efficient program in implementing Pancasila Ideology Development through the internalization and institutionalization of Pancasila in the field of law, advocacy, and regulatory oversight. Based on the research, the contribution of this deputy is the availability of the Pancasila values indicator design, the implementation of quality analysis and synchronization, the performance of advocacy for the development of the Pancasila ideology, and the implementation of the effective internalization and institutionalization of Pancasila. Through this deputy, BPIP is then expected to make a positive contribution to increasing the harmonization of regulations on Pancasila to realize social inclusion, institutionalizing Pancasila, and mainstreaming the ideals of Pancasila.

This paper seeks to analyze Indonesia’s multilateral diplomacy under President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) during his first term of presidency (2014-2019). Specifically, this research will be focusing on three multilateral forums; G20, APEC, and East Asia Summit. This paper departs from the puzzle of why Jokowi’s foreign policy seems to be paradoxical; on one hand, the bilateral approach looks very prominent but on the other, Jokowi does not seem to be very keen in engaging in multilateral forums. Using bilateral-multilateral nexus, this paper argues that Indonesia’s participation in multilateral forums is only intended as a means of pursuing short-term interests rather than to contributing to global norms. Jokowi uses multilateralism just as a venue to arrange further bilateral cooperation with potential partners.

Why does the judicial review process highly influence the electoral system design in Indonesia at the Constitutional Court? Whose interests and what kind of interests are served by the judicial review process at the Constitutional Court towards the electoral system in Indonesia? By analyzing constitutional court verdicts from its inception on August 13, 2003, until the beginning of 2020, this study tries to answer those two questions by using judicialization of political theory. This study found that the extension of the authority of the judicial institution to produce political decisions through the judicial review mechanism can be regarded as the opening of political opportunity structure as a new platform for political actors to achieve their interest in election regulations. For example, to meet one of the electoral systems, a political party is underwhelming variables like the parliamentary threshold requirement specified in the election law. They come to the Constitutional Court to request a judicial review on the threshold requirement and plead the Court to revoke the requirement. Meanwhile, civil society groups, which are not the direct participants of the election, will also utilize the medium provided by the Constitutional Court to challenge various provisions in the election law to create a more democratic electoral system. This study concludes that the Constitutional Court is seen as the guarding of constitutional law enforcement institutions and a power relations arena where different political actors strive to realize their political interests or agenda on election laws.

This paper describes the development of local-level democracy in implementing the 2020 Regional Head Simultaneously related to a single candidate and dynastic politics. In this research, we found that the phenomenon of single candidates and political dynasties, which shows the climate of democracy at the local level, is increasingly unhealthy. Indonesia is experiencing democratic backsliding. Political dynasties and single candidates have, of course, hurt democracy. Regional Head is no longer an effective means of participation and competition as a condition for the running of democracy. Regional Head also did not produce elite circulation. On the other hand, the oligarchy is a node on a political dynasty and local bossism. The theoretical perspectives used in the research to explain single candidates and political dynasties are democracy, election, oligarchy, and local bossism.
