The article Innovation and Creative Entrepreneurship Management in Supporting Cultural Tourism at UNESCO World Heritage Sites by Rafinita Aditia and Thomas Kano highlights how creative entrepreneurship becomes a driving force in strengthening cultural tourism, particularly in UNESCO-designated areas where the balance between heritage preservation and economic innovation is essential. This focus on cultural resilience is also echoed in The Sea Alms Tradition in Rowo Village, Kebumen: Adaptation to Environmental Uncertainty through Actor-Network Theory by Kasirul Mubarok, Aris Arif Mundayat, and Akhmad Ramdhon, which examines the enduring “Sea Alms” ritual as a community strategy to adapt to environmental uncertainties, showing how local traditions maintain social cohesion while negotiating with natural forces through Actor-Network Theory. The theme of adaptation to broader global and economic pressures continues in Untangling Nickel Downstreaming: A Political Economy Analysis of Indonesia’s Morowali Industrial Park by Jordy Jordy, where the discussion shifts toward the extractive industry, revealing how state policies, global capital flows, and industrial complexes like Morowali transform local economies and labor structures in Indonesia. In a more localized governance context, The Influence of Employee Performance Quality on the Quality of Probolinggo City's 112 Emergency Service by Nurul Jannah Lailatul Fitria, Shanty Bunga Adinda, and Ferdy Aprilyandi emphasizes the crucial role of human resources in delivering public services, demonstrating how the efficiency and competence of employees directly affect the responsiveness of emergency systems designed to protect urban communities. Finally, the broader implications of power, governance, and control in the digital age are brought forward in Analyzing Foucault’s Theory in Digital Security Policy in the Age of AI by Hero Gefthi Firnando, which applies Michel Foucault’s concepts of surveillance and power to examine how artificial intelligence reshapes state security policies and governance mechanisms. Taken together, these contributions not only span diverse themes from cultural tourism and local traditions to industrial policy, public service, and digital governance but also illustrate how scholars from Indonesia, India, and the United States are collectively interrogating the intersections of culture, politics, economy, and technology in shaping contemporary society.
