Decolonizing “Muslim Questions” in Europe: Integration and Entanglements of Colonial Epistemologies

2025-10-15T17:00:13+00:00

Europe’s so-called “Muslim question” is less an inevitable cultural clash than the prolonged imprint of colonial hierarchies, secular assimilation, and racialized security politics. This dynamic has roots in post–World War II labor migrations. These movements, far from simple economic exchanges, transplanted colonial hierarchies into Europe’s social fabric. From the Rushdie Affair to the post-9/11 security turn, public debates, and state policies, however, have repeatedly reframe Muslim presence as a challenge to national cohesion and public order. Addressing this requires a decolonial rethinking of integration, one that dismantles colonial epistemologies and recognizes Muslims as co-authors of Europe’s plural identity. Edward Said’s critique of orientalism, analysis of secular power introduced by Talal Asad, vision of counter-hegemonic Islamism proposed by Salman Sayyid, and Dipesh Chakrabarty’s call to “provincialize” Europe together reveal how colonial logics continue to shape Muslim integration. Foregrounding Muslim agency through Ramadan’s reformist “European Islam” and Fanon’s radical pedagogy, and guided by the insurgent energies of decolonial praxis, this study calls for a decisive rupture from assimilationist orthodoxies toward cultural equity and ethical pluralism. It thus advances a future that will help to weave a participatory polis that transcends postcolonial melancholia and affirms diversity as a civic strength.

Analisis Faktor-Faktor Kriminogenik Kasus Filisida di Indonesia dalam Perspektif Strain Theory

2025-10-09T02:02:24+00:00

The phenomenon of filicide, the act of killing one’s biological, step, or adopted child, has exhibited an alarming trend in Indonesia over the past six years. This study aims to analyze the criminogenic factors underlying filicide cases in Indonesia through the lens of Robert K. Merton’s Strain Theory. Employing a qualitative method, this research utilizes literature review and content analysis of 33 filicide cases reported by national online media from 2019 to 2025, supported by secondary data from official institutions. The findings indicate that filicide is triggered by various forms of strain stemming from economic hardship, mental disorders, dysfunctional family structures, oppressive cultural norms, and the failure to fulfill the socially constructed ideal parental role. In many cases, perpetrators experienced social isolation and emotional breakdowns due to the cumulative effects of structural and psychological stress. This study concludes that filicide represents a complex form of deviance not merely a consequence of individual psychopathology, but rather a manifestation of systemic social tensions. The study suggests that effective policy interventions should adopt a comprehensive preventive approach, including parenting education, community-based mental health services, and structural reinforcement of family resilience.

Analisis Perbandingan Perlindungan Hukum bagi Pejalan Kaki di Bandung, Indonesia dan Suwon, Korea Selatan

Bandung and Suwon were designated as sister cities on August 25, 1997. They were chosen as sister cities because they share several similarities, including their status as centers of education and innovation, their development as smart cities, their rich cultural values, and their deep historical backgrounds. Both cities are also strategically located. Urban development in Bandung and Suwon focuses on efforts to create cities that are comfortable to live in by ensuring safety and convenience for their residents. This study aims to analyze and compare the legal protection provided to pedestrians in the cities of Bandung and Suwon. Pedestrians are among the most vulnerable road users, often exposed to accidents and violations of their rights to public space. In Bandung, there is currently no regional regulation that specifically governs legal protection for pedestrians. In contrast, the Suwon city government has implemented a range of progressive policies, including pedestrian priority zones and national laws that safeguard pedestrian rights. The research employs a normative juridical method with a qualitative descriptive-comparative approach. The findings reveal that Suwon demonstrates a significantly higher level of effectiveness in implementing pedestrian protection regulations compared to Bandung. Legal certainty in Suwon is supported by clear, written, and consistently enforced regulations, whereas Bandung continues to face challenges related to the clarity and consistency of legal enforcement in practice. This study recommends that Bandung adopt Suwon’s best practices to strengthen legal protection for pedestrians.

Contribution of Forest Farmer Groups in Land Management through the Agroforestry System

2025-10-11T07:46:39+00:00

This study analyzes the contribution of Forest Farmer Groups (KTH) in land management through agroforestry systems in two schemes, namely Social Forestry and Non-Social Forestry. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data was collected through field observations, in-depth door-to-door interviews, and documentation of 29 members of the Ajisaka KTH, 67 members of the Tanjungjaya KTH, and 25 members of the Bunter KTH. The results of the study show that agroforestry has become an alternative livelihood strategy through crop diversification, such as corn, cassava, bananas, ginger, turmeric, and coffee, which are planted among teak trees managed by Perhutani and PTPN. In the Ajisaka KTH, which operates under the Social Forestry scheme, legal access and institutional recognition strengthen collective awareness, community solidarity, and provide additional income, although agriculture is still considered a side business. Meanwhile, KTH Tanjungjaya and Bunter, which lack strong legal standing, are more vulnerable but demonstrate adaptive strategies through profit-sharing systems, wage systems, and additional ventures such as balsa seedling production and honeybee farming. Both schemes demonstrate that agroforestry not only increases household income but also strengthens food security, social empowerment, and ecological sustainability. Thus, agroforestry is not merely an agricultural technique but a socio-economic tool capable of balancing livelihood needs and environmental conservation.

Efektivitas Pelaksanaan Diversi dalam Penyelesaian Perkara Anak sebagai Pelaku Penganiayaan dan Pengeroyokan di Jawa Barat

2025-10-09T02:05:55+00:00

Children are the nation’s next generation and play a vital role in sustainable development and the country’s future. The protection of children, including within the context of criminal law, is a fundamental aspect of building a holistic Indonesian human resource foundation based on Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution. This study analyzes the effectiveness of implementing diversion in resolving juvenile cases involving assault and collective violence in Bandung, West Java. The research aims to examine the implementation of the diversion concept within the juvenile criminal justice system, assess the effectiveness of rehabilitative approaches, evaluate legal protection mechanisms, identify the underlying factors behind juvenile delinquency, and formulate policy recommendations for improving child protection. A qualitative research approach was employed, with data collected through interviews at the Bandung Child Rights Advocacy Institute (Lembaga Advokasi Hak Anak/LAHA). Diversion plays a crucial role in Indonesia’s juvenile criminal justice system. The findings indicate that while diversion has been implemented, it continues to face various challenges, particularly concerning infrastructure and the interpretation of the Juvenile Criminal Justice System Law. Several obstacles hinder its success, including limited participation from victims and communities, as well as persistent negative stigma toward juvenile offenders. Therefore, further measures are needed to raise public awareness of the importance of diversion and to strengthen inter-institutional collaboration. The study suggests that enhancing the effectiveness of diversion requires a comprehensive approach involving multiple stakeholders.
