Kedaulatan sejatinya dimaknai secara luas menyangkut seluruh kehidupan bangsa dan negara dari berbagai perspektif seperti politik, ekonomi, sosial, budaya, dan juga kesejahteraan warga negaranya. Negara yang berdaulat tidak hanya memiliki teritori dan mempertahankannya dari gangguan pihak asing, namun juga menampakkan kehadirannya melalui pembangunan yang berkelanjutan untuk mewujudkan kesejahteraan warga negara di seluruh pelosok wilayahnya, termasuk di perbatasan. Namun sayangnya, wilayah perbatasan yang berperan penting sebagai batas teritorial negara, masih tertinggal dibanding daerah lain yang bukan perbatasan. Hal ini antara lain terlihat dari terbatasnya ketersediaan sarana dan prasarana untuk pemenuhan kebutuhan dasar penduduknya, sehingga mereka mempunyai ketergantungan yang tinggi terhadap negara tetangga. Buku Kedaulatan Indonesia di Wilayah Perbatasan: Perspektif Multidimensi membahas kedaulatan Indonesia dari berbagai perspektif, mencakup politik, ekonomi, dan sosial budaya. Pembahasan difokuskan pada beberapa isu, yaitu pengelolaan pertahanan negara dan pemeliharaan rasa kebangsaan di wilayah perbatasan, ketergantungan perekonomian penduduk perbatasan terhadap negara tetangga dan upaya yang dilakukan untuk menciptakan kemandirian ekonomi, pemenuhan kebutuhan dasar penduduk perbatasan, khususnya pendidikan, kesehatan, dan kesempatan ekonomi, serta isu nasionalisme dan relasi sosial warga perbatasan. Buku ini diharapkan dapat menjadi referensi bagi berbagai pihak yang memberi perhatian pada isu perbatasan, khususnya dalam perencanaan upaya-upaya untuk mempercepat pembangunan di wilayah tersebut. Dengan demikian, ketimpangan dengan wilayah bukan perbatasan dan bahkan dengan negara tetangga dapat dikurangi atau jika memungkinkan dihilangkan sama sekali

However, there are still many problems challenged in maintaining sustainability of palm oil plantation. This paper aims to assess sustainability of palm oil plantation from social and economy aspects and also the prospect of development of palm oil plantation in border areas. This paper analyses the data of some research conducted by researchers of the Research Centre for Population and the Deputy of Social Sciences and Humanities, Indonesian Institute of Sciences in the province of South Sumatra and Indonesia-Malaysia border areas in West, East, and North Kalimantan. The research shows that in 2014 palm oil plantation has created 5.2 millions job opportunity in Indonesia. In border areas, particularly, development of palm oil plantation has generated job opportunities for Indonesian workers who previously worked in Malaysia and those who intend to work in the neighbouring country.

The income generated can ﬁ nance their developments programs, such as for human resources development. The beneﬁ ts from natural resource extractions also ﬂ ow to companies that have the right for managing the resources. For these companies, the economic beneﬁ ts from natural resource extraction are often returned to communities using corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs. Unfortunately, for some countries, natural resource extractions create negative impacts due to overexploitation. Unsustainable natural resource extractions often caused social conﬂicts as people, compete for rent seeking. Frequently, these conﬂicts involved citizens against the government. In order to sustain the beneﬁ ts from the natural resources extractions, the government and the community should manage the resources with full consideration of their sustainability.

A big number of Indonesian migrant workers lost their jobs which caused them unable to send money to their families at home country. This paper aims to discuss the impacts of Covid-19 on Indonesian migrant workers' welfare and their families at home country. This paper is based on analysing existing statistical data and reviewing existing literature and research publications. The results show that the direct impacts of Covid-19 on Indonesian migrant workers are layoffs for both permanent and temporary workers. Indonesian migrant workers who have been laid off have to go back to their home country. Some Indonesian migrant workers who are still working in host countries received decreasing income due to salary reduction and no additional income for their extra working hours. Such condition brings about negative impacts on Indonesian migrant workers' welfare and their families at home country, mainly because of the reduce of remittances, reaching 10.28 percent during the Covid-19 pandemic. Considering the condition of migrant workers' families who have experienced a decrease in remittances, they should be eligible for receiving any safety net from social security programs due to Covid-19 pandemic impact.

Several population mobility regulations have been implemented, which were heavily affected by fluctuation in COVID-19 positive cases. This paper discusses trends in population mobility due to various policies related to population mobility restriction, nationally and locally. Analyses were based on secondary data, including population mobility restriction policies and trends in the number of COVID-19 cases since the government has formally declared the peak of the second wive at mid-2021. Data on the number of airplane passengers departing from and arriving at Soekarno-Hatta airport from March 2020 to August 2021 was also used. The results of the analysis show that the trend of passengers' mobility during the COVID-19 pandemic was influenced by government policy on transportation, referring to the fluctuation of the daily number of positively confirmed COVID-19 cases. In the case of increasing of the positive cases, the government issued a policy on tightening aircraft passenger requirements which resulted in a decreasing number of passengers, and vice versa. Currently, the increase in COVID-19 cases shows the sloping trend, but efforts to control its transmission, including population mobility restriction, must still be carried out.

In reality, both men and women have been the victims of human trafficking through various exploitative and abusive treatments. This paper aims to describe human trafficking activities across the border areas in Indonesia based on the gender perspective. Several aspects of human trafficking are discussed, such as the pattern, the process and the impact of trafficking activities on the victim's life. Data and information for this article come from the reviews of several studies and scientific papers related to the human trafficking, particularly in Indonesia. This study shows that the males and females trafficked victims have different experience of abuse in a range of sectors, and therefore required different kind of support and protection. This paper aims to contribute in finding the solutions for the improvement of the existing human trafficking intervention. Keywords...

Presently, these workers are vulnerable to COVID-19 due to the prolonged migration process, which requires them to relocate from their villages to another country and back to Indonesia on completion of their working contract. Therefore, this study describes and discusses the vulnerability of Indonesian migrant workers (IMWs) to the pandemic at various phases of the migration process. It is related to the implementation and practice of health protocols, ignorance and indifference to the dangers and transmission of the virus, and also to the national vaccination program. The analysis is based on the review of literature studies, such as studies related to the topic, international and national regulations on migrant workers, and official data and statistics published by the Indonesian government. The materials and data were collected from search engines such as Google Search and Google Scholar and also releva...
