Shia minority groups in Indonesia are often considered as 'other' religious group by the majority groups, especially Sunnis. Shia groups often receive discrimination from Sunni groups. In dealing with this, sometimes government intervention through its policies is needed. In this study, the authors focus on cases of conflict that have occurred in Sampang and Yogyakarta. Shia groups who are facing discrimination in these two locations appear to be different. Shia groups in Sampang suffered a tragic fate and were expelled from their hometown, while the Shia groups in Yogyakarta did not experience the same fate. This study uses a qualitative method using a case study approach based on Ralf Dahrendorf's conflict theory and Lewis A. Coser's functional theory. This study discovered that the factors of state policy formation in Sampang case which tends to be conflictual are as follows: 1) Social factors: the cause of the conflict starts from the internal conflict of the KH Makmun’s family 2) Cultural factors: the commemoration of the birthday of the Prophet (Maulid Nabi). 3) Political factors: it was coincided with the events of local elections in Sampang (2012) and East Java governoral election (2013) which cause contestations for public votes. 4) Economic factors: the reduction of clerics’ incomes during the commemoration of the Prophet's birthday, followed by a plan for oil and gas exploration. Meanwhile, the factors of state policy formation in Yogyakarta case which tends to be peaceful are as follows: 1) Social factors: the RausyanFikr community has a strategy in defending their rights in the community by merging with the surrounding community. 2). Cultural factors: heterogeneous Yogyakarta society and the tradition of Javanese tolerance (tepo seliro). 3). Political factors: the Rausyan Fikr group does not involve themselves in any political issues and there is no political competition for the votes of the governor (Sultan). 4). Economic factors: the RF group does not have any economic relations to compete with surrounding residents. 5). Other factors: the issue of thought and philosophy which is used as daily-menu of this group and the intervention of the   government of Yogyakarta to protect all members of the community. Therefore, alternative state policies that can be applied in multicultural societies to solve minority-majority problems are the politics of multiculturalism proposed by Charles Taylor

Changes in the law thoughts of al-Shafi'i from pre-qaul qadim, qaul qadim to qaul jadid were motivated and influenced by several things, namely: geographical factors, cultural factors and customs, scientific factors, social factors, economic factors, political factors, and difference factor in the use of theorem. Whereas the change experienced three conditions, namely the condition of badawah for the pre-qaul qadim phase, the condition of hadarah for the qaul qadim period, and the condition of inqiradh, during the qaul jadid period.

This study aims to identify the causes and formulate a regulatory model for the eradication of Corruption in regional infrastructure development funds in Indonesia. This research was conducted by examining cases and laws related to Corruption. Some of the causes of corruption in regional development funds are: 1)Historical Factors; 2)Economic Factors; 3)Cultural Factors and 4)Institutional Factors. Although all four factors have been identified, there are still many countries that have not succeeded in eradicating corruption. An extraordinary crime requires extraordinary effort. The Government of Indonesia needs to formulate legislative policies with those manifested in specific deviant provisions. In addition, there are four approaches that are needed, namely legal approach, moralistic-religious approach, socio-cultural approach, and educational approaches. Massive actions must also be taken in various regions to start an anti-corruption measure.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the reason and process of labor policy changes in Korea. For this purpose, I analyzed three cases which were made respectively in 1980, 1987, and 1997. An analytical tool for policy change process is basically modified from the view point of policy making process theory, adaptable to the Korean situation. In the authoritative government period, political factors were most influential to changes in the labor policy. But through the process of democratization, socio-economic factors are more influential on the change of labor-management relations acts than that of others. Besides, the changes in the policy making process and the policy contents are mainly affected by the power relations among labor-management-government. Also, the government took the initiative in the process of labor policy making. Accordingly, political factors were most influential on the agenda-setting phase of labor policy changes. But because of the democratization of society and the growth of the private sector, the role of government is increasingly restricted. As a result, the three participants of the labor policy change are now interacting strategically. Therefore, Policy change is mainly determined by the power balance among labor-management-government relations. Korean labor-management relations acts are generally outlined by the macro-factors such as political, economic and social factors. The revision of labor-management relations acts are less affected by the characteristics of the policy making system. The revision of individual labor-management relations acts are more affected by the economic factors, while that of the collective labor-management relations acts are more affected by political factors.

The study of super-gentrification has important practical significance for maintaining social fairness, spatial justice and achieving sustainable urban development. In this article, 23 driving factors influencing super-gentrification are identified by literature research and Delphi method. Then, the 23 driving factors affecting super-gentrification are divided into four dimensions: political, economic, social and spatial dimension. On this basis, hypotheses are proposed and a structural equation model is established. Then, SPSS 25.0 and AMOS 24.0 software are used to test the reliability and validity of the questionnaire data, and the model results are fitted and modified. Finally, the optimization model and path coefficient of super-gentrification driving factors are calculated. The results of the study show that political factors, economic factors, social factors, and spatial factors, all play a positive role in the development of super-gentrification. Social factors are the fundamental factors to promote super-gentrification, political factors, economic factors, and spatial factors also play a key role in the super-gentrification process.

This study investigated the socio-cultural factors affecting integration into the formal education system in Katsina State, Nigeria. Descriptive survey design was adopted for this study. There were 653 Almajiris purposively selected from twelve Almajiris schools in Katsina State. A researcher-designed questionnaire titled: ‘‘Almajiris socio-cultural factors questionnaire’’ (ASCFQ) with test-retest reliability coefficient of 0.88 was used to collect data for the study. Analysis of data was carried out using frequencies and percentages. Findings revealed that most parents abandon their children in these informal Arabic schools. Most Almajiris (603, that is 92.3%) responded that their Mallams (Teachers) do not feed them. Therefore, the only means of survival is through begging and doing menial jobs. Based on these findings, it is recommended that all the identified socio-economic factors affecting the integration of Almajiris into the formal education system should be addressed by the government. This can be done through public enlightenment campaigns and provision of incentives.
