The International Conference on Contemporary Social and Political Issues (ICSPI) was hosted by the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Universitas Indonesia, with the theme of “Knowledge and Social Transformations.” This theme urged scholars and professional researchers to reconsider new agendas in knowledge production, where different regionalization tides affect previously rigidly separated disciplines in a more collaborative, if not contradictory, ways. The political consequences of research institutions that are much more responsive to the demands for economic growth must be further scrutinized. This raises fundamental questions regarding the analysis of new forms of social inequality, social exclusion, as well as who is being prevented from political representation and participation. The theme is expected to initiate cross- and multidisciplinary academic discussions regarding novel forms of concentration and democratization of knowledge in the increasingly globalized and digitalized world we live in today.
