ngunan berkelanjutan di Indonesia. Ketiga instrumen tersebut berfungsi sebagai sumber dana dan saluran kerja sama internasional, tetapi juga bisa menyebabkan ketergantungan ekonomi serta ketidakseimbangan kekuasaan antara negara pemberi bantuan dan negara penerima. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif deskriptif dengan mengirimkan kuesioner kepada 23 responden di Kota Medan yang memahami isu kemitraan global, pembangunan, dan ekonomi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas responden melihat utang luar negeri, investasi asing, dan bantuan luar negeri sebagai alat penting untuk mempercepat pembangunan, selama dikelola secara transparan, bermanfaat, dan sesuai dengan kepentingan negara. Responden juga menekankan pentingnya menjaga keseimbangan antara manfaat dan risiko ketiga instrumen tersebut agar tidak menyebabkan ketergantungan ekonomi yang terlalu lama. Selain itu, persepsi responden terhadap kemitraan global (SDG 17) menunjukkan sikap positif terhadap kerja sama internasional yang fokus pada transfer teknologi, inovasi, dan pertumbuhan yang inklusif, namun tetap menekankan pentingnya kemandirian ekonomi nasional. Dengan demikian, penelitian ini menyatakan bahwa Partnership for the Goals hanya akan berhasil jika dilaksanakan dalam kerangka tata kelola yang baik, prinsip kesetaraan, serta komitmen bersama untuk mencapai pembangunan yang adil dan berkelanjutan.

Abstract:The purpose of this article is to investigate the methods by which Batak Toba women in Habeahan Naburahan Village, Samosir Regency, resist the concealed practice of marpariban matchmaking. As part of the Batak Toba kinship…
ip structure, Marpariban matching is a traditional practice that places women in a position where they are unable to select their life partners. A form of resistance that is not overtly articulated has emerged as a result of this. Information was gathered using descriptive qualitative methods such as in-depth interviews, documentation, and observation. Relevant data and information are provided by informants who are Batak Toba women in the village of Habeahan Naburahan who have firsthand experience with the Marpariban matchmaking practice and family members who participate in the customary matchmaking procedure. The findings and analysis revealed that the Batak Toba women in this hamlet oppose this matchmaking practice through covert resistance. Some of these behaviors are putting off arranged marriages for school or work reasons, using religious legitimacy as a reason to say no without directly confronting the person, formally accepting arranged marriages with a passive attitude and little emotional involvement, and not talking openly about marriage plans. James C. Scott's theory of resistance says that these activities show that there is concealed resistance, or a sort of resistance that happens while people follow the rules. This suggests that Batak Toba women tend to use subtle opposition as a tactic to preserve their independence inside the patriarchal system rather than openly rejecting the Marpariban norm
