Navigating challenges and limits to inclusive development in the Global South

The International Conference on Indonesian Social and Political Enquiries (ICISPE) is an annual event held by the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences at Universitas Diponegoro. This year’s ICISPE is held for the 9th time. As with the previous years, this international conference is built based on the spirit and passion of the development from multi-discipline and inclusive sciences, whilst promoting the advancement of research across the country. Thus, the conference not only gives a chance for the academics to assess phenomenon and contemporary problems by collaborating with various disciplines, but also delivers opportunities as widely as possible to every stakeholder who is willing to bridge academic and practical fields.

ICISPE also offers to facilitate open discussions and debates, transfer of knowledge, strategies for policy formulation, and networking amongst scholars and policymakers. Later, this multi-discipline and inclusive collaboration are further implemented through discussion forums, advanced research, and or joint-publication.

The theme of this year’s ICISPE conference is “Navigating challenges and limits to inclusive development in the Global South”. The post-covid world has shown some economic and political turmoil that posed a potential threat to reaching the 2030 goal. One of which is the rising of hybrid regimes at the cost of democratic growth in many developing countries. According to the latest V-Dem Report (Marina et al., 2024), more than 40 countries are in the state of autocratizing, with deteriorating freedom of expression in 35 countries that are mostly in the Global South. This could signify a great challenge in realizing the 2030 Agenda on inclusive and sustainable development.
