Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pendekatan aktivis-aktivis perempuan di Bali dalam mendifusikan norma global kesetaraan gender. Aktivitas mereka berhadapan dengan adat budaya Bali yang patriarki. Dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif berjenis fenomenologi, penelitian menggambarkan pengalaman aktivis perempuan di Bali dalam ruang transnasionalisme. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa upaya untuk mendifusikan norma dari ranah global ke ranah domestik dan lokal, tidak terjadi secara linear. Ratifikasi Konvensi mengenai Penghapusan segala Bentuk Diskriminasi terhadap Perempuan oleh Pemerintah Indonesia pada tahun 1984, tidak berarti bahwa norma kesetaraan gender dapat menyebar dan terinternalisasi dalam masyarakat secara otomatis. Aktivis dalam gerakan perempuan memiliki peran yang penting dalam mempromosikan pentingnya hak-hak perempuan. Mereka melakukan adaptasi agar norma kesetaraan gender pada level global, mendapatkan penerimaan di segmen tertentu dari budaya Bali. Pilihan strategi dalam difusi norma oleh para aktivis perempuan di Bali adalah hasil interaksi antara identitas pemahaman mereka terhadap budaya lokal, interaksi dalam jaringan advokasi internasional serta penggunaan kesempatan politik baik yang berasal dari ranah internasional maupun domestik. Pengalaman berinteraksi langsung dengan aktivis gender di negara Barat menimbulkan gagasan kreatif untuk mengadopsi praktik perjuangan gender yang telah berhasil di luar negeri untuk diterapkan di level lokal.Kata-kata kunci: norma global, difusi, glokalisasi, gerakan gender, transnasionalismeThis article aims to analyze the approach of women activists in Bali in diffusing global norms of gender equality. Their activities deal with patriarchal Balinese cultural tradition. Using a qualitative method of phenomenology, the study describes the experiences of women activists in Bali in the space of transnationalism. This study finds that efforts to diffuse norms from the global to the domestic and local domains do not occur in a linear fashion. Ratification of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women by the Government of Indonesia in 1984 does not mean that gender equality norms can spread and be internalized in society automatically. Activists in the women’s movement have an important role in promoting the importance of women’s rights. They make adaptations so that the norms of gender equality at the global level gain acceptance in certain segments of Balinese culture. The strategy choices in the diffusion of norms by women activists in Bali are the result of the interaction between their identity and understanding of local culture, interaction in international advocacy networks and the use of political opportunities both from the international and domestic spheres. The experiences of interacting directly with gender activists in Western countries give rise to creative ideas to adopt the practice of gender movement that has been successful abroad to be applied at the local level.Keywords: global norms, diffusion, glocalization, gender movement, transnationalism

This study is focused on the adaptation strategy of the local community who has the problem of land rights. In Indonesia, all natural resources are subject to control and to manage by the state. As a ruler of the resources, the Government published any policy which provided revenue for the state, such as giving the right to industrial extraction of logging companies in the forest area. Whereas, many communities' lives depend on the forest. Forest resources are important for the Indonesian economy, as well as for the livelihood of communities who depend on the forest. It finds themselves in situations of conflict. The aim of the study is to analyse adaptation strategy of local community which is in the forest resource conflicts. The study used mix methods. A qualitative method with a focus on ecological adaptation and livelihood strategy, while the quantitative approach stresses defining the meaning of findings or facts that are deconstructed based on the subjective perspective of the researcher.

The result of the research showed that conflict of the forest resources have improved the adaptation strategy of the local community.

Experiences Of Women

The aim of this article is to compare women’s activism in Diaspora communities in Muslim majority countries, such as Iran, with some of the experiences of women activists in Western counties such as Australia. This is by no means a definitive account of Arab and Muslim women’s activism in either country but an attempt to raise some questions and provide a framework in order to understand some of the issues facing Arab and Muslim activists today. I believe that it is important to look at these issues in a way that is contextualized in terms of the material circumstances in which women living in Diaspora communities find themselves. In doing so, I hope to reveal the complexity and dynamism of women’s activism and to take on critically, Orientalist, essentialist and racist arguments regarding the nature of Arab and Muslim women’s role in opposing war and neo-liberalism and in the struggle for gender equality. As Edward Said argues, exile forces us to “see things not simply as they are, but as they have come to be that way. Look at situations as contingent, not as inevitable, look at them as a series of historical choices made by men and women, facts of society made by human beings not as natural or God-given, therefore unchangeable, permanent, irreversible.”

Abstract On 8 March 2017, International Women’s Day, Brazil adopted a two-year National Action Plan (NAP) on Women, Peace and Security (WPS) with a clear commitment by the government for integrating gender perspectives in peace and security policies. With this decision, Brazil responded to the UN Security Council’s call for all Member States to develop national strategies to allow for successful implementation of Security Council Resolution 1325 (2000). Considering that it took almost two decades for Brazil to consider adopting its own plan, the driving forces behind this decision beg further exploration. This article draws on the concept of gender entrepreneurs to argue that the emergence of the Brazilian NAP was the result of an informal network of like-minded women, positioned inside and outside the government’s structures, who teamed up to harness political opportunities for change and push for the adoption of WPS global norms into a formal national commitment.

ABSTRACTDespite the prevalence of global diffusion, little is known about the processes by which international practices are adopted and adapted within organizations around the world. Through our qualitative research on the introduction of corporate social responsibility (CSR) reporting at two leading Chinese companies, we identify a unique set of political mechanisms that we labelstate-mediated globalization, whereby powerful nation-state actors influence the ways in which corporations adopt and adapt global norms and practices. We find that businesses’ needs for political legitimacy from a key stakeholder, in this case the government, leads them to deviate systematically from the global practice in bothformandcontent. These intentional practice adaptations are then legitimized by the government to createinternationalization toolsandlocalized standardsto aid adoption by other organizations. Our findings illustrate previously unidentified mechanisms by which powerful stakeholders such as the Chinese government may mediate, and thereby direct, the ways in which corporations adopt and adapt global CSR practices. Contributions to understanding the political processes of institutional translation in the context of globalization are discussed.

This research discusses the concept of zakat in Abu Ubaid's Kitab Al-Amwal. The purpose of this study is to analyze the existence of social justice in zakat. The research method that I use is a qualitative method with a literature review method. The result of this research is that zakat according to Abu Ubaid has esoteric values of social justice. Zakat instruments can alleviate poverty and stabilize state finances. To create social justice, the zakat instrument provides space for those in need. The space is not only a treasure. But also capital that can be used to start a business. In addition, in order to optimize zakat, the government must take part in maximizing the potential of zakat.
