Implementation Of Legal Socialization On The Protection Of Indonesian Migrant Workers As A Form Of Cross-Border Community Service: A Case Study Of UMB International Student International Community Service In Taiwan

M. Yudha Pratama, Andi Azhar
Abstract: Migrasi pekerja Indonesia ke luar negeri, termasuk ke Taiwan, terus menunjukkan tren peningkatan setiap tahun, sehingga Taiwan menjadi salah satu negara tujuan utama Pekerja Migran Indonesia (PMI) di kawasan Asia Timur.… Namun, tingginya angka migrasi tersebut belum sepenuhnya diimbangi dengan pemahaman hukum PMI mengenai hak, kewajiban, dan mekanisme perlindungan yang diatur dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 18 Tahun 2017 tentang Pelindungan Pekerja Migran Indonesia. Kondisi tersebut menyebabkan PMI rentan mengalami eksploitasi kerja, pemotongan gaji secara ilegal, penahanan dokumen, serta potensi tindak pidana perdagangan orang (TPPO). Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini dilaksanakan melalui Program International Community Service (Student International Community Service) Universitas Muhammadiyah Bengkulu (UMB) di Taiwan dengan tujuan meningkatkan pemahaman hukum PMI mengenai hak-hak dasar, prosedur pengaduan resmi, dan pencegahan TPPO. Metode pelaksanaan meliputi ceramah interaktif, diskusi kelompok, studi kasus, simulasi pengaduan, serta pembagian modul saku dwibahasa yang dilaksanakan di tiga lokasi konsentrasi PMI, yaitu Taipei, Taoyuan, dan Kaohsiung, dengan melibatkan 115 peserta. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan peningkatan rata-rata skor pemahaman hukum peserta dari 50,4 pada pre-test menjadi 82,4 pada post-test atau meningkat sebesar 63,5%. Tingkat kepuasan peserta terhadap kegiatan mencapai 92% dalam kategori puas dan sangat puas. Kegiatan ini menunjukkan bahwa program International Student Community Service dapat menjadi model pengabdian lintas negara yang efektif sekaligus bentuk kontribusi perguruan tinggi dalam memperkuat perlindungan hukum bagi diaspora pekerja Indonesia di luar negeri. The migration of Indonesian workers abroad, including to Taiwan, continues to show an increasing trend every year, making Taiwan one of the main destination countries for Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) in the East Asian region. However, the high migration rate has not been fully balanced with PMI's legal understanding of the rights, obligations, and protection mechanisms regulated in Law Number 18 of 2017 concerning the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers, so that PMI is vulnerable to labor exploitation, illegal salary deductions, document detention, and potential trafficking in persons (TPPO). This community service activity is carried out through the International Community Service Program (Student International Community Service) of the University of Muhammadiyah Bengkulu (UMB) in Taiwan, with the aim of increasing PMI's legal understanding of basic rights, official complaint procedures, and prevention of trafficking. The implementation methods included interactive lectures, group discussions, case studies, complaint simulations, and the distribution of bilingual pocket modules, which were carried out in three PMI concentration locations, namely Taipei, Taoyuan, and Kaohsiung, involving 115 participants. The results of the evaluation showed an increase in the average legal understanding score of participants from 50.4 in the pre-test to 82.4 in the post-test, or an increase of 63.5%, with the level of satisfaction with the activity reaching 92% in the satisfied and very satisfied categories. This activity shows that the International Student International Community Serviceprogram can be an effective model of cross-border community service as well as a form of university contribution in strengthening legal protection for the diaspora of Indonesian workers abroad.

Meiyani, Eliza, Putri Sadayi, Delila, Hayan Mochammad, Fadhil
Abstract: This study aims to analyze the development of democratic and bureaucratic theories that occur in developed and developing countries. The author identifies this research by analyzing journal articles that are indexed by Scopus… copus as journals with reputable and accountable research outputs. The Scopus database was used as data in this study. This study uses a comparative qualitative method of analysis by comparing documents published in developed and developing countries. The results of this study show that; 1) The development of research related to democracy and bureaucracy based on the Scopus database has decreased significantly in 2017-2020, increased in 2021 and decreased again in 2022. 2) The predominance of research related to democracy and bureaucracy occurs in the United State, where the country is a full-fledged democracy. 3) The connectedness of the study during 2015-2022 is divided into 8 clusters, each cluster displays a comparison of countries with the interconnectedness between countries involved in the research. 4) The high weberianess of the state bureaucracy is due to the professional public administration before democracy combined with electoral competition and non-ethnic politics. Brazil, South Korea, and Taiwan are examples. Argentine hyper-presidentialism exacerbates top-down politicization of public administration and personalist patronage.

LEGAL ANALYSIS OF THE LEGALITY OF MODIFYING AND RESELLING CREATIVE COMMONS-LICENSED DIGITAL PRODUCTS

Nurdiyansyah Sunandar, Firman, Herman Setiawan, Andri, Juaeni, Ahmad, Triestanto, Johannes
Abstract: The rapid proliferation of digital markets has intensified legal challenges surrounding the modification and resale of Creative Commons–licensed digital products in Indonesia. This study conducts a doctrinal analysis of… f the Indonesian Copyright ActLaw No. 28 of 2014) in light of comparative jurisprudence from Japan, Taiwan, and the United States, elucidating how civil-law and common-law systems treat CC licenses. It examines recurring issues ambiguities in “derivative works,” conflicts between non-commercial and commercial exploitation clauses, and failures to observe attribution requirements through practical case studies of software, e-books, music, and video tutorials. Drawing on Satjipto Rahardjo’s progressive legal theory, the research argues for a functional, transformative approach that aligns domestic copyright doctrine with globally harmonized open-licensing principles and substantive justice. The analysis reveals that, under Indonesian law, permissibility hinges on strict adherence to each license’s specific terms; however, current regulations lack clarity, generating legal uncertainty for both creators and users. To address these gaps, the study proposes interpretative guidelines and legislative reforms that (1) define “derivative works” in accord with CC International’s porting model, (2) reconcile non-commercial provisions with legitimate digital markets, and (3) institutionalize attribution standards. Such measures would safeguard creators’ moral and economic rights while fostering equitable digital access and innovation, thereby enhancing Indonesia’s knowledge economy.
