Across 127 stops in 39 countries, President Prabowo’s foreign visits show that Indonesia can row among the great powers without being captured. The harder test lies ahead: 8,000 troops for the Board of Peace, a 19% tariff under the trade agreement with Washington, and 15,000 engineers in the race for AI. The Arithmetic of Autonomy reads the numbers behind Indonesia’s shift from passive equidistance toward active multi-alignment.

Does every rupiah spent improve students’ learning outcomes and level the field for the disadvantaged?
Analysis by Baginda Muda Bangsa (Political Economy Analyst, LAB 45), published in The Jakarta Post (2026).
Full article: thejakartapost.com/opinion/2026/1…
In 2025, nearly 3 in every 10 rupiah of the national education budget went to the free meal program (MBG), money that could have gone to fixing classrooms and improving teaching.The Global Education Evidence Advisory Panel rates universal school feeding as effective but prohibitively expensive compared to alternatives. Teacher training and foundational learning materials deliver higher returns at a fraction of the cost. Covering all students regardless of income also means the funds are spread thin rather than concentrated where the gaps are deepest.
Only 32.4% of Indonesian 15-year-olds believe in upward social mobility, the lowest figure among all 91 countries evaluated by PISA. Despite quality education is remain the main path up, yet Indonesia’s public education is underfunded relative to the size of its economy, and much of what it does receive goes to the wrong places. 🧵↓

Di tengah rivalitas AI Amerika Serikat dan Tiongkok, Indonesia menunjukkan gejala underbalancing: tekanan geopolitik terus menguat, tetapi respons domestik masih tertinggal akibat fragmentasi kebijakan, lemahnya kelembagaan, dan terbatasnya mobilisasi sumber daya. Kajian ini menawarkan jalan keluar melalui ketahanan berbasis ketergantungan yang terkelola, dengan memperkuat daya tawar, menjaga alternatif, dan bermitra secara selektif.

At 81, TNI carries more missions than ever. Andi Widjajanto traces how its roles have expanded from 1945 to 2026, from the revolution and dwifungsi to today's re-expansion into civilian affairs, while the defense budget stays below 1% of GDP. An army asked to do everything is resourced to do nothing well.

Is a U.S.–China war inevitable? In Arsenals x Anarchy, Andi Widjajanto, Senior Advisor LAB 45, explores how defense modernization and an unstable multipolar order are reshaping the rivalry between the two powers. The essay highlights nine key insights, from the shifting balance of power in East Asia to the 2036–2042 danger window, when the risk of conflict may peak.

The Broker Lens tab tracks who shows up in procurement paperwork. Republikorp entities appear across 9 documented programmes from 2022 to 2026, covering everything from government-level contracts down to company agreements. E-System Solutions appears in 5 programmes in 2026, including one government-level contract and three letters of intent. The database flags these as descriptive only, no ownership, pricing, or intent is inferred. Worth watching as the procurement picture develops.
