This podcast was originally hosted on Podcast Hubungan Internasional by Departemen Ilmu Hubungan Internasional UGM, 1 October 2023.

In a democratic country, the people’s voice is important for the nation’s politics. The community takes various actions to voice, remind or protest policies/decisions of the government that have the potential to hurt the community. The presence of the internet provides new tools for carrying out activism. What is the portrait of community activism in the digital world? What can we do so that our actions are more heard? What happened to conventional activism?

In this episode of the Podcast Hubungan Internasional, Dr. Diah Kusumaningrum from the Department of International Relations, UGM and Muhammad Fajar, Ph.D. from the Institute for Advanced Research, Unika Atma Jaya, discuss the portrait of activism in Indonesia and the World over the past 22 years.
