Improving Public Service Quality through Digital Public Administration Reform

David Ashari, Jajang Supermen

This article discusses how digital public administration reform can improve the quality, transparency, and accountability of public services. The study focuses on the relationship between bureaucratic innovation, citizen participation, and the use of information technology in government institutions. Digitalization is not only understood as the adoption of online platforms, but also as a broader transformation of administrative culture, decision making, and service delivery. The article argues that successful reform requires institutional readiness, skilled human resources, clear regulation, and continuous evaluation. By strengthening digital governance, public institutions can reduce administrative delays, improve citizen trust, and create more responsive services. This discussion contributes to public administration studies by emphasizing technology as a tool for democratic and efficient governance.

Online Algorithmic Campaigning and Political Polarization Among Young Voters in Southeast Asian Urban Democracies Today

Alif Haikal

This article explores how algorithmic campaigning influences political polarization among young voters in Southeast Asian urban democracies. It argues that data driven campaign strategies shape not only message distribution but also voter perception, emotional alignment, and political identity. Through qualitative analysis of campaign content, platform interactions, and youth responses, the study identifies how personalized messages, influencer endorsements, and issue based micro targeting intensify ideological separation. The findings indicate that algorithmic campaigning can improve political relevance for young voters, yet it may also narrow public debate by exposing citizens to selective narratives. This article contributes to political communication and youth politics studies by explaining how digital campaign infrastructures reshape democratic engagement, political tolerance, and electoral behavior in urban societies more clearly.

Democratic Resilience and Digital Political Participation in Southeast Asia

Pasqa Muhammad, Nanda Eka Pratiwi

This article examines how digital political participation influences democratic resilience in Southeast Asia. The study argues that online civic engagement has expanded public access to political discourse, allowing citizens to monitor leaders, mobilize collective action, and challenge dominant narratives. However, digital participation also creates new risks, including misinformation, polarization, surveillance, and manipulation by political elites. Using a qualitative political analysis, this article highlights the dual role of digital platforms as both democratic tools and contested political arenas. The findings suggest that democratic resilience depends not only on citizen participation, but also on media literacy, institutional accountability, transparent regulation, and protection of civil liberties. Therefore, digital politics must be governed carefully to strengthen democracy rather than weaken public trust.
