Analysing White Supremacy Ideology and Strategies for Its Prevention

Fauzy Rosny, M Yusuf Samad — Mon, 09 Dec 2024 11:17:52 +0000

Purpose: Mass shootings in America have increased significantly in recent decades. Half of all incidents have occurred since 2000, with one-third since 2010. Victim numbers have also risen, from an average of 8 deaths per year in the 1970s to 51 per year in the 2010s. Data reveal that most perpetrators are white males, and that a culture of violence and easy access to firearms are key drivers. This study investigates why many white men commit mass shootings, using the Buffalo shooting as a case study.

Study Design/Methodology/Approach: This research adopts a qualitative design, using a case study approach to examine events and individual action in detail.

Findings: Mass shootings are rooted in social pathologies within American society, exacerbated by the ideology of white supremacy. This ideology, born from frustration with progress in racial and gender equality, channels anger towards individuals perceived as foreign.

Originality/Value: The study underscores the need for risk management in firearm ownership to prevent misuse. By providing an in-depth analysis of a specific case, it enriches existing literature on supremacist ideology and offers insights into its prevention.

Strengthening Non-military Defense to Strengthen the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia

I Gusti Putu Buana — Mon, 09 Dec 2024 11:54:58 +0000

Purpose: This study aims to explore effective strategies and measures necessary to strengthen non-military defence in Indonesia in response to increasingly complex non-military threats driven by technological advancements and globalisation.

Design/Methodology/Approach: The research adopts a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis to investigate inter-agency coordination, community participation, and technological integration as key elements of non-military defence strategy. Data were collected from various sources, including relevant legislation, academic studies, and real cases in Indonesia.

Findings: The analysis indicates that although Article 30(2) of the 1945 Constitution and Article 7(3) of Law No. 3 of 2002 emphasise the importance of participation by all national components, the implementation of non-military defence in Indonesia faces challenges due to unclear legal frameworks and insufficient inter-agency coordination. The 2023 cyber-attacks underscore the urgency for comprehensive regulation and effective coordination practices.

Originality/Value: This study contributes new insights by proposing a multidimensional approach to reinforce non-military defence through cross-agency collaboration, enhanced digital capacity, and community involvement, aiming to build a more responsive defence system
