| | Democracy and Autocracy in Africa | Author : Dr. Pippie Hugues | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Contrary to the widespread claims of democratic regression in sub-Saharan Africa, our research on democratic processes reveals a different reality. We have found that the regions democratic journey over the past two decades has largely remained stagnant, with no significant advancements or setbacks in terms of political and civil liberties since the initial transitions in the early 1990s. However, this apparent lack of progress in African democratization masks the active efforts of incumbent leaders to undermine key actors, such as civil society, and structural conditions, such as urbanization, that could potentially lead to greater liberalization. To explain the uneven progress in democratization, despite increased political participation across the region, we argue that Africas incumbent leaders have employed two often overlooked processes: legal institutions and international relationships. Firstly, these leaders have utilized the law and courts to restrict the ability of domestic actors to mobilize against them. By strategically using the law to consolidate their power and strengthen executive authority, they have undermined other institutional checks and balances. Secondly, incumbent leaders have effectively manipulated their international relationships to counteract the democratizing influence of external actors, including foreign donors and transnational civil society. This manipulation includes employing claims of sovereignty to resist external intervention in domestic politics. |

| | Gender Stereotypes and Toxic Masculinity: Phenomenological Study of Pamulang University Students | Author : Dr. Yunita, S.S. M. Sas | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :In Indonesia, which is still considered a conservative country, feminism as a gender-based emancipatory movement has become an understanding that tends to be covered by the glitter of patriarchism. Resistance to feminist thought is quite massive because the majority of people consider it to be a Western epistemology that is not in harmony with Eastern cultural values. One of the main causes of gender inequality is societys lack of understanding of the differences in definitions between sex and gender. The majority still view these two terms as merely linguistic synonyms, even though conceptually they have significant differences. In an intimate academic environment with a tradition of thinking, the phenomenon of toxic masculinity is quite widely recognized by students. Like several students at Pamulang University, South Tangerang who feel they are victims of systemic toxic masculinity. In the initial research observations, the results of interviews showed that the phenomena of gender stereotypes and toxic masculinity experienced by Pamulang University students included several things, namely regarding individual aspects such as role, character, physique and sexual orientation.

| | Possession of Money | Author : Dr. Nguyen Anh Quoc | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The relationship between humans and nature is inevitable, it is a direct cause-and-effect relationship. Natural human relationships are characterized by human-to-human communication. People are products of each other in communication, so human communication is free. Inevitability in natural relations becomes freedom in human communication. Freedom in human communication is creativity. Creativity makes people differentiate into subjects and products. Internal products correspond to standards, external products correspond to money. Human communication becomes the standard exchange, money is social. Social life is about buying and selling labor goods. Labor trading makes free communication mandatory, forced by standards and money. Having standards, not knowing how much money is enough, always feeling like its lacking, and not knowing how to stop, thats the instinct and habits of playing the piano. When money is the exclusive object of human possession, buyers and sellers appear. The seller needs money, and the buyer has money. The money instinct appears, making life coerced by money. Freedom to care for and help each other becomes a service, serving money. Serving money becomes serving those who have money; without money, you cannot be served. Human discrimination appears. Eliminating discrimination is not the eradication of humans, it is the eradication of non-human forces.
