Adaptation and Survival Strategies of the Arab Diaspora in Indonesia: A Social, Economic, and Political Review

Abstract

This study examines the adaptation and survival strategies of the Arab diaspora in Indonesia through social, economic, and political perspectives. The study uses a literature review method to collect data from various relevant sources, including scientific journals, books, and government documents. The results show that this community has been able to maintain their cultural identity while adapting to the local environment through strong social networks and active involvement in local economic activities. Economically, they have successfully developed small and medium-sized enterprises that contribute significantly to the local economy. Politically, involvement in social organizations and cooperation with local governments play a crucial role in strengthening their position in Indonesia. These findings highlight the importance of a multifaceted approach to understanding the dynamics of diaspora community adaptation in diverse regions like Indonesia. This research also emphasizes the importance of inclusive policies in supporting the integration of diaspora communities without sacrificing their cultural identity.
