Current Issue
Vol. 16 No. 1 (2026): JISPO (Jurnal Ilmu Sosial dan Ilmu Politik)
JISPO Vol. 16 No. 1 (2026) brings together a diverse set of studies examining how institutions, political actors, communities, and vulnerable groups navigate pressures arising from environmental change, governance challenges, electoral competition, and shifting forms of political authority in contemporary Indonesia and the wider Asian context. Framed by the theme “Governing under Pressure: Institutions, Vulnerability, and Political Change in Contemporary Indonesia and Asia,” the issue explores indigenous ecological knowledge in disaster mitigation, the environmental burden of political campaigning, policy overload and institutional trust, the protection of Rohingya refugees, the persistence of informal authority in local democracy, party institutionalization and electoral failure, and the gap between public awareness and acceptance of political controversies. Taken together, these contributions highlight the complex interaction between formal institutions, social vulnerability, environmental pressures, and political change, while demonstrating the value of interdisciplinary perspectives for understanding contemporary governance and democratic dynamics.
