TL;DR: Kunci as discussed by the authors ingin menganalisis penyebab konflik dari sisi budaya politik masing-masing bangsa dengan menggunakan teori Budaya Politik Dari Gabriel Almond and Sydney Verba.
Abstract: Penyebab konflik berkepanjangan antara Israel dan Palestina telah menjadi perdebatan sejak konflik ini bermula di awal abad 20. Berbagai penelitian telah menjelaskan faktor-faktor penyebab konflik melalu berbagai instrument dan teori. Tulisan ini ingin menganalisis penyebab konflik dari sisi budaya politik masing-masing bangsa dengan menggunakan teori Budaya Politik dari Gabriel Almond dan Sydney Verba. Analisis akan dilihat dari tiga komponen. Pertama, sistem budaya, proses budaya, dan kebijakan budaya Israel dan Palestina. Kedua, orientasi perilaku masing-masing bangsa terhadap sistem politik. Ketiga, respon dan perilaku Israel dan Palestina terhadap kebijakan luar negeri dan dalam negeri di dalam sistem politik. Tulisan ini menilai bahwa penyebab konflik terjadi akibat adanya benturan kepentingan dan kepercayaan dari kedua pihak yang melekat pada budaya politik masing-masing. Israel meyakini bahwa tanah yang mulanya ditempati bangsa Palestina merupakan hak mereka yang diamanahkan kepercayaan mereka. Tidak hanya itu, misi pergerakan Zionisme juga menjadi salah satu sumber konflik berkepanjangan ini. Kemudian, nilai-nilai ini berbenturan dengan budaya politik bangsa Palestina sebagai bagian dari bangsa Arab. Tulisan ini menyimpulkan bahwa penggunaan teori budaya politik cukup untuk menjelaskan akar permasalahan Israel-Palestina selama ini dalam ranah identitas dan perilaku kedua bangsa berdasarkan kepentingan politiknya masing-masing. Namun, penggunaan teori ini kurang dapat menjabarkan dengan detail sejauh mana budaya politik bangsa Palestina menjadi akar dari konflik abadi ini. Kata Kunci: Israel-Palestine, Konflik, Budaya Politik, Orientasi Politik, Nilai

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the intellectual ideas of Ake on feasibility of democratisation in Africa and argued that transition to democracy in South Africa by founding elections marked the beginning of a representative government.
Abstract: This article explores the intellectual ideas of Ake on feasibility of democratisation in Africa. Democratisation is feasible as government focuses on the real people irrespective of racial affinity. In the past, the apartheid government in South Africa was adjudged as obstacle to democracy because majority black were marginalised in the representative democracy. The African National Congress (ANC) developed a pressure against undemocratic laws of apartheid rule. This process translated to Trust Reconciliation Commission (TRC) as a driving-mechanism towards peaceful negotiation in the country. While this is true, this article argues that transition to democratisation in 1994 by founding elections marked the beginning of a representative government. This article contests the current practice of democratisation by political disconnection of the popular party after the death of President Nelson Mandela. Finally, it is argued that feasibility of democracy is economic empowerment of the people but was trivialised in the country. The article further states the characters which marred democratisation process after the post-third wave. The article submits that there was adequate oversight functions which checked the excess power of executive arm and the others. This de facto is justified by the action of opposition parties such as EFF, DA, and IFP in the Freedom House. As a result, triangulation politics is recommended as mechanism which can promote national unity in the country.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors tried to examine the position and capability of Indonesia in the aspects of maritime security, both politically and domestically militarily, using an analytic-qualitative method by comparing journals and case reports of shipwreck theft.
Abstract: The theft of foreign shipwrecks that have sunk in Indonesian seas is one of the major cases of theft of underwater cultural heritage that occurs in the world. Apart from that, ship nations such as Australia, the Netherlands, England, and even the United States also expressed their disappointment with Indonesia, which was deemed incapable of protecting the legacy of their ancestors which was also considered as an underwater cultural heritage object. In this research, the researcher tries to examine the position and capability of Indonesia in the aspects of maritime security, both politically and domestically militarily. The author uses an analytic-qualitative method by comparing journals and case reports of shipwreck theft as the main method of this research. Using the theory of institutionalism, the author tries to explain Indonesia's position in international regimes such as UNESCO 1970 and 2001 for the protection of underwater cultural heritage as well as the concept of rational choice or rational choice to dissect Indonesia's reasons for taking this position. Using these methods and theories, the authors know that Indonesia does not want to ratify the UNESCO 1970 and 2001 regime due to domestic considerations, considerations of capability and sovereignty.
