This research is normative legal research, with primary data sourced from decisions of the Supreme Court and courts under the Supreme Court, regulations from the Attorney General’s Office and the National Police Chief, and decisions on case settlements by law enforcement officials; Secondary data obtained from books, journals, and the Internet. The study found that investigators and public prosecutors often settle cases out of court in criminal law enforcement with a restorative justice approach through peace and reconciliation. Judges sometimes act in violation of the rules of procedural law to achieve substantive justice. In enforcing civil law, courts only intervene when the parties involved fail to settle their disputes outside of court. This finding also indicates a high degree of acceptability of court decisions. In conclusion, law enforcement agencies and officials in Indonesia have made significant progress in implementing progressive law, as evidenced by the settlement of cases through mediation using a restorative justice approach.Keywords: Law enforcementprogressive lawindonesianlaw reform AcknowledgmentsThe author is grateful to Dr. Paul Chambers, Executive Editor of Asian Affairs: An American Review, and two anonymous reviewers for providing feedback to improve the quality of this manuscript.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationThe author did not receive funding from external parties.Notes1 #Satjipto Rahardjo. “The Concepts and Characteristics of Progressive Law” (paper presented at the Faculty of Law Diponegoro University on Progresive Law, Semarang, December 15, 2007).2 #Satjipto Rahardjo, “Customary Law in the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (Sociological Law Perspective)” (paper presented at the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Indonesia on Customary Law Workshop), Jakarta, June 4–6, 2005).3 Hikmahanto Juwana, ”Reform of Economic Laws and Its Effects on the Post-crisis Indonesian Economy.” The Developing Economies XLIII No.1 (2007). https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1746-1049.2005.tb00253.x4 Lawrence M.

Our study argues and finds that government spending plays a significant role in reducing the poverty rate in Vietnam. Furthermore, the paper shows that income per capita is a good proxy for the poverty rate. Given the influential role of government spending in reducing impoverishment, the study also finds that income inequality is a challenge to the Vietnamese government. It contributes to the literature on public finance in Vietnam and emerging markets. Additionally, it has policy implications for policymakers in these economies regarding addressing poverty alleviation and income inequality.Keywords: Government spendingpoverty reductionincome per capita Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 B.

In response to the coup, President Joe Biden imposed targeted sanctions on the responsible military leaders. Against the backdrop of rising tensions between the US and China, this article explores the future of US–Myanmar relations and a possible return to the previously strained relationship from 1994 to 2008. To investigate the motives behind the coup by the Tatmadaw and the responses of the US executive and legislative branches, this article utilizes a combination of document research and semi-structured interviews with retired diplomats, scholars, observers, and activists. The analysis concludes that the US will likely continue its targeted sanctions policy while maintaining diplomatic relations with Naypyidaw in order to maintain influence in Myanmar during the US–China strategic competition. The article also highlights the potential for a future deterioration of US–Myanmar relations.Keywords: Myanmar/BurmaUnited StatesChina factormilitary coup 2021targeted sanction AcknowledgementsThis research received no specific grant from any funding agency in the public, commercial, or not-for profit sectors.

The findings show that the changing power dynamics in Indonesia prompted the Dayak ethnic group to change their identity-based political features from sporadic, without a sovereign (primordialism) to structurally organized. The reason was to ensure its ethnic power (based on its values, existing ethnic polarization, and the predominance of Islam) is observed by other ethnic groups when making political decisions. Moreover, the development of Dayak customs to solve problems and fight for their interests has led to the survival of the Dayak identity and influenced Indonesian power dynamics. These are contrary to the opinions of several scholars and their supporters that Indonesia has a weak ethnic ideology.Keywords: Identityprimordialismadat institutionalizationdayaksindonesia Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Ariel Heryanto, State Terrorism and Political Identity in Indonesia: Fatally Belonging (London and New York: Routledge, 2006), https://doi.org/10.4324/9780203099827.2 Gerry van Klinken, Communal Violence and Democratization in Indonesia: Small Town Wars (London and New York: Routledge Contemporary Southeast Asia Series, 2007).3 Muhtar Haboddin, “Menguatnya Politik Identitas Di Ranah Lokal,” Journal of Government and Politics 3, no. 1 (2012): 109–26, https://doi.org/10.18196/jgp.2012.0007. 4.4 Sofyan Sjaf, “Canalization of Ethnic Politics in Makassar Sofyan,” Sodality: Journal of Rural Sociology 5, no. 2 (2017): 92–97, https://doi.org/10.22500/sodality.v5i2.17968.3.5 Sofyan Sjaf, “Politik Etnik: Dinamika Politik Lokal di Kendari” (Jakarta: Yayasan Pustaka Obor Indonesia, 2014).6 Michael Coomans, Manusia Daya: Dahulu, Sekarang, Masa Depan (Gramedia, 1987).7 Tjilik Riwut, Kalimantan Memanggil (Endang, 1958).8 Alfred Bacon Hudson, Padju Epat: The Ethnography and Social Structure of a Ma'anjan Dajak Group in Southeastern Borneo (Cornell University, 1967).9 Tjilik Riwut, Kalimantan Membangun, Alam Dan Kebudayaan, ed.
